So the next game in the Super Smash Bros series will be revealed at E3, as a Wii launch title, hopefully.
So I thought it would be a good time to share our thoughts on the franchise.

This thread is about Super Smash Bros. : Talk about your greatest moments in SSBM, your reaction to the original SSB, your predictions on the next one, how there are too many clones in SSBM, and how the original looks so goddamned awful nowadays. :)

Also, post your favorite "game modes" for SSBM here. The game can be altered in many ways, from the number of items to the damage you give to the teams and toughness of the battles. Since there are several modifications to the main Vs mode (Giant Melee, Super Sudden Death, Tiny Melee...) these settings can be tweaked and rules created by yourselves in order to create different "game modes"

There are some examples on the end of the instruction booklet, such as Projectile Melee:

In projectile melee, only projectile wielding characters are allowed (Samus, Link, Yoshi, Fox...) and it's played in Stamina Mode. The arena must be one with lots of "cover" such as Onnet or Brinstar Depths. Players fight using only projectiles to damage the opponent as they try to lower their HP to zero. Restrictions can also be made to prevent the use of reflecting sheilds. All items are firing weapons.

You can come up with your one modes, from simple ones, like restricting everything non-Mario related, to complex ones, such as a Trainer battle one.

In this one, there must be 4 players fighting. The arena is irrelevant, but Pokemon Stadium is the preferred one. Players are divided into 2 teams, each composing of a player using a non-pokemon character, and another using a pokemon. The non-poke ones go to the corners of the arena, while the other 2 fight. Set the lives to 99, but theoretically, the non-pokes are only allowed to have 3. So once they lose 3 lives, the battle is over.
The pokemons fight until one of them dies. When this happens, the "Trainer" must replace him for 30 seconds (or more) taking hits from both the opposing pokemon and trainer. If he kills the opposing trainer during this period, this does not count to the opposing one's life total.
As soon as one of the trainers loses all their lives, the other team is declared victor.

Your turn now. Come up with new modes, talk about the series and speculate away about the next SSB.

Also, after the unveiling of Super Smash Bros. Online (Wii?), use this thread to discuss the new changes made to the game.

When they revealed the Wii at E3 last year, they said they were trying to have SSB as a launch title. Even if it's not, I'm almost 100% certain some info or footage of it will be released.

Back when it was first released, I used to rent Super Smash Bros. everyweek. I probably spent enough to have actually bought it... but I was just a stupid high school kid. After playing Melee all these years, I went back to try the original again. Not only does it not look so hot, it doesn't play that great either.

Super Smash Bros. Melee improved upon every single aspect of the original. I'm really excited to see whether or not the Smash Bros. Wii can improve upon Melee. The first way they can do that is to have Pit as playable character!

I got to thinking what would happen if they placed Ash in the game. I know it's stupid, and he'd suck, but I thought about it because the pokeballs look huge in the game. If they placed Ash in the game, they'd have to make him big enough to enable him to put his fingers around the pokeball, meaning he'd have to be bigger then Bowser. His attack would be screaming I CHOOSE YOU PIKACHU at the top of his lounges for projectile damage.

I want Fin from Fire Emblem, kick that fgt Roy out of the game.

Better yet, replace Roy with Eliwood. Or leave him in, that's what they'll do. Nintendo won't dare take anyone out, since each character is someone's favorite. I'm thinking 40+ characters, I hope it doesn't ruin it.

EDIT: FIX SHEIK DAMMIT!

[KakTheInfected]

Fin>Eliwood.

Fin>all other characters.

I predict they will nerf ness again
