I'll hopefully see you guys online within a week or so, but tonight I'm going to be having my first Brawl experience in a movie theatre style setting in my uni's concert hall.

Yeah, definitely keep us updated on any hidden gems you may come across. Cool idea.

If I'm not mistaken, the Dojo update tonight showed all of the stages in a picture...23 total, plus 6 from melee, so that makes 29, plus all of the map editor stages that you can make.

As far as latency/lag is concerned, I'm just hoping to be able to connect to the nearest city from here (400 miles away or so) without issues, let alone the rest of the US. I'm probably equa-distant from both the lower 48 (as we call you guys) and Japan...so we'll see how that works.

Iwata interviews Sakurai.

This made my birfday! Thanks.

Cool, thanks for all of the info guys.

So has anyone picked up Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles? Many of the initial reviews at E3 or E for All or whatever didn't come out too shining, but it's been a while since then, and supposedly it's selling well. Is it worth the $50, or is it better off as a rent?

Are those sleeves really that good? I never ordered them myself...at any rate, that's good news about the charge station, I've been thinking about putting down for one for a while now. I'm assuming we're taking about the same thing. Edit: Oh, and I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T postpone MarioKart Wii to xmas season 08...

Fine by me

D = Well on further reflection, March 9th IS right at the start of my university's "spring break," so I guess I can have a whole week of uninterrupted Brawl right when it comes out...that's not so bad I guess......... neither would a Dec 3rd release tho...

Japan still releases on the 31st of January...It's pretty damn tempting. Are you still planning on getting JPN version, Atma?

Poking fun at his manly tiara, I assume.

...couldn't you ALWAYS jump while shooting??

Happy friggin birthday man. Let's here that story w/the ghost and the cell phone, I'm curious.

Today's xmas eve virtual console offerings are: Blades of Steel Rolling Thunder 2 Donkey Kong Country 3 That is all.

I like where this thread is going

*insert obligatory "make your own stage in the stage editor" post here*

gettin' close to 10,000....

In my recent studies, I have discovered something that ALL criminals have in common: They consume both food and water. Yes, that's right. If we take these things away from our children, crime as we know it will stop completely, leading to a safe life for us all. (jack thompson lol)

Clearly some of you guys haven't noticed that the updates are pretty thin in content. Most special move updates don't even showcase all four special moves. To assume that EVERYTHING about online play has been revealed already is just plain ol' ignorant, and to bitch about things like "no voice chat, no online ranking system, spectator mode is so limiting, etc etc etc" is godamn pointless. Why? When they revealed Pit's special moves, did you freak out about "OMGWTFBBQ PIT ONLY HAS TWO SPECIAL MOVES, WTF SAKURAI?!?!".....? Clearly there's more content coming for every aspect of the game, including online, so would people please stop whining about features that have not been confirmed/denied at all.

Although I hate to beat and rape a long-dead horse, I feel obligated to point out.... "There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users." "Be kind to beginners! If all you do in brawls is beat up people who don’t know left from right, they’ll never understand the rules of the game, right? So until now, I’ve always made sure to include handicaps in each game in the series. But, I began to think that there isn’t much thrill in just making yourself weaker, so I changed the system." Judging by Sakurai's use of these key words in the second example, it's safe to assume that they also apply to the first...right...? Right? Still have handicaps, still have Ness..... Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out. (also I'm putting my money on ness getting a whole new moveset based on the moves he himself used in mother2, as suggested by others......)

On my version of the soundtrack, your midi track is labeled as "Final Battle." Don't know if that makes a difference to anyone or not.

Silly, he was confirmed way back when we saw him in the clouds.

is dat sum luigi, falcon and ganondorf i see? Where did you find this, Bigfoot? Peculiar to say the least..50 character slots, damn... *sniffle* I'll miss you Ness D:
