No, to unlock Sonic you have to make 20 kills in cruel brawl mode.

Just set 'em on easy and blast through them. That's probably what I'll do.

"This mode is a service where Nintendo uses Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to send the data for games played between other people to every Smash household." It sounds like the data is recorded for your match, sent to Nintendo, and then distributed from their servers to your wii. So the matches probably won't be viewed in real time. Oh, definitely. And having this feature included certainly won't hurt the game in any way... only help. I'll probably be using it a bit myself.

Exactly what I was thinking. Of course, if all we get is random matches delivered to us, then the youtube matches might be preferable.

Unless the costumes are separate from the colors. As in, you can change regular Mario to look like Dr. Mario, but you'd still be able to choose pink, black, green, etc. Still, costumes do sound unlikely since Daisy would be a perfect Peach costume.

See, I never got pumped for Sunshine. And to be honest, I wasn't too terribly excited about Galaxy, but man, I'm having a blast. I never really liked Sunshine all that much. Also, the music is just plain awesome. DVDs for games, voice acting in MP3, and now orchestrated music in SM:Galaxy... Is Nintendo finally catching up to the the rest of the world?

"It feels great to use all of your knowledge and techniques to shave off a hundredth of a second." There you have it, folks. Sakurai himself approves of taking advantage of exploits. Also further proof that he reads the OCR forums daily. By the way, replays FTW!

That seems a bit unlikely, but I guess it is a possibility. My first thought on the poltergust is it could possibly be used as a "long"-ranged grab, as well as a tether recovery (since that seems to be a bit more common in this game). It could also shoot fire and ice in Luigi's Mansion, so that's a possibility as well. Still, he'll most likely have the vacuum at least in one move (Mario got FLUDD after all). The poor guy finally gets his own game and now vacuums are synonymous with his name.

That's assuming he'll be anything like his Melee incarnation. My guess is, he'll be reworked quite a bit. After all he has to lug around that vacuum everywhere he goes now.

Look up. Heheh.

Whoa. Talk about an inventive stage. And the Pictochat icon is numbered 21 if anyone was interested.

It looks like either that or a fusion suit coloring of the typical varia suit. I still can't tell.

I honestly hope they don't change a thing, and I'll be playing as Samus. A final smash should not be unavoidable, nor should it be able to kill off someone instantly.If they upped anything, it'd just be an easy button. The thing already shoved Mario off even though he was at 0% and needing to line it up is simply part of the challenge. I want to have to work a little bit to get it to hit otherwise it's just not fun.

Video save? Put your pics on an internet screenshot gallery? Use as avatars for Wi-Fi mode? Pixelate the image (har har)? Too many possibilities.

It's really difficult to tell from the videos, but it looks like you'll actually be able to do attacks after using your up special move. Jumping is obviously still out of the question. In the Sonic video, right after it shows Sonic balancing on the edge, it cuts to him, Donkey, Pit, and Mario duking it out on the Skyworld stage. Immediately after the scene changes, Sonic uses the spring jump up between Donkey and Pit, then proceeds to do an upwards corkscrew kick followed by the "Falcon Kick" into Donkey. Does this mean we'll be able to protect ourselves after using up specials? Or did Sonic just get hit on his way up, canceling his spring jump? Also, Link's up special looks really cool, and I didn't think the animation for the warp star item could get any smoother/nicer looking.

I had a feeling they'd return. Mostly due to the fact that they seem to be adding a lot of variety to how characters play. One of the quirkiest characters in Melee is the Ice Climbers pair, so it seemed natural that they'd be stickin' around. On another note... That fur looks great!

They may or may not taste better than strawberries, but I would think raspberries would make more appropriate Metroid "innards." My little sister said she wanted to make some of these and I want to try them out if she does.

So THAT'S why there were so many musicians. Haha. I kind of figured something like this would pop up, honestly (or hoping at the very least). With as many songs as it sounds like there will be, it'll be quite amazing if they all get an orchestral treatment (aside from the ones that are straight rips, of course). Still, music is usually one of the very last things finalized for a game. so it could really go either way.

Wouldn't one of the problems with load times on doors be because of the larger disc size than the gamecube? I imagine it would take a little longer for things on the outer edge of the disc to load up since it requires more rotations. I could be wrong, I'm no expert on compact discs and such, however, this might also explain small rooms taking long times to load if their data is farther away from the center.

Would you say the same of Solid Snake? He's not one of "Nintendo's Biggest Stars" either. Although I'll give you that he started out on Nintendo and Sonic didn't. I think Smash Bros. is more of a fan service than anything else, honestly. And since Sonic's inclusion would please many, many fans, it seems there's a fairly good chance he'll get in. I really won't care either way since I'll be playing Samus regardless.

Actually, there were two blue versions. 2 was a greenish-gray blue, and 3 was dark blue with the slightest hint of violet. I'm pretty sure you're talking about version 3. Also, OA and I seem to be the only people doing any kind of drawing so you can't expect only two people to do all of them at once. Thirdly, 3-Tan was one of the very first ones designed. I turned the 4-Tan I was working on into 3-Tan after Blackmyst's design became semi-official. I've got plans to alter the design a little bit as I feel some of the elements seem too tacked-on, but here are a couple images just to give you the idea. I'll also be changing her bass to make it match her outfit a little more.

Yeah, she really does look like she'd fit in Cave Story. She's not going to have white skin in the end though. I just wanted to throw something together before I posted and coloring the skin would take a little too much time. This is what I was looking for. Thanks. Firstly, she's actually going to be resting on her instrument (a giant NES controller synthesizer), but the bar scene works too so I'll have to keep that in mind as I continue. Her hair was really an experiment. I was considering changing it, but I decided to see what people thought first. Thanks for confirming that for me. I think I'll just have it swoosh to the side a little bit instead. Yeah, her right leg is funky, but she's still in sketch form at the moment. Won't be too hard to fix. The eyes (and the red color in general) was definitely a reference to the "button" on the page's header/sidebar. I'm glad someone noticed it. I've been having a hard time getting the right subtle expression on her face, as you noticed. I eventually gave up to continue along further down. I guess I'll have to go back to it again. Hopefully, I can get it right. Again, thanks for the comments. I'm glad I posted before I got too far.

Well, before I get too far along on her, I figure I should obtain some feedback from people on what I have so far. I've really based her outfit on Bonus's original 4-Tan designs, because a lot of people (myself included) liked it. As you can see, I also threw some basic colors on her just to give the impression. I'm also not quite finished with all her clothing designs, but as I mentioned, I feel I need some feedback to see if I'm even headed in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

I was thinking about it. A fighting game would so totally rock. I've been trying to work on one. That's why there hasn't been anything from me for a little while. I'm just trying to get the best design that I can before I post it.

Actually, no. At least not intentionally. Megaman is probably my favorite game series of all time. So all my work is probably slightly influenced by it in one way or another.
