L.T.W. Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 WTF?! What is the new update supposed to be? ??? Im confused :S EDIT to avoid double post: I think thats how the presentation video is gonna be like or something, kinda like Melee's was. The characters in Melee were trophies and then they turned into the chars. Maybe thats what this is.
FuriousFure Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 HOLY CRAP!!! thats awesome! i am LOVING this game already. this update alone has completely convinced me to buy a wii. *looks around* wait.. am i the only one who thinks they understand this totally sweet update? hello? hello? ... i think we may have a bad connection...
JackKieser Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Aww, Atma... I'm still thinking of you too, man. I really hope they don't plan on adding a last minute storyline to Smash Bros. Not that you couldn't ignore it, but it would detract from the whole presentation a lot. --Jack Kieser

Would you care explaining your understanding of this new update?
friendlyHunter Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Well, if you select the hidden text, it makes a little bit more sense.... Good job confusing us all on a Friday Looks like single player mode may have a much more cohesive story than before.
Amayirot Akago Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hidden text? Where? Well, they've gone from totally awesome to totally mysterious with today's update. Methinks Trophies are involved somehow.

friendlyHunter Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 What, you've never seen white text before? I'll copy and paste it here for you guys: In this world, trophies fight. screenshot screenshot screenshot They know nothing but fighting. Fighting is the sole reason for their existence. screenshot Being turned back into a trophy, being unable to fight, is much like death. screenshot screenshot screenshot Those are the rules of this world. screenshot But... screenshot When someone...or something...breaks those rules, the world will pay a terrible price... And, ummmm, is it just me, or has the latest installment in every Nintendo series featured a blobby purple and black evil substance? Metroid Prime 2, Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario.... I guess that's it
Amayirot Akago Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I think he's messing with us. Or the text is plain invisible to him for some reason.
friendlyHunter Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Yes, a- um, what? Oh wow, I reloaded the page and the white background was replaced with a black background, revealing said white text. Silly browser...
FuriousFure Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Would you care explaining your understanding of this new update? sure thing. well, what i think i understand of it is much like the two previous games both start with inanimate objects who then become into moving (living) things and start fighting each other. Smash Bros had Master Hand pick two random action figures/dolls and then construct a makeshift battle arena out of a desk. Melee in the intro have some arm grab mario in trophy form and it flips into the sky and tumbles to rest in an arena and you see he isn't alone. link, kirby and pikachu were also there to join in the... brawl? well yes. on to Brawl, it seems its actually going to go into the reasoning behind the toys/trophys and being a trophy seems to be like death. so they become real, fight (cause that's there main purpose) this world is at peace and is in balance. untill something unsettles it... oooO! so like previously stated. (one of the) adventure mode(s) should be a little more complete. and that they might go into the whole coming to life thing thats my understanding.
Strike911 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 wait, I had a thought.... what if Smash Bros Brawl had a really engaging single player mode that had a great story with all the classic Nintendo characters. Think of Kingdom Hearts just... Nintendo. What if the single player was so engaging that people wanted to play the adventure mode just as much as multiplayer... because its so epic, dramatic, meaningful, and life changing? Think about it. It'll blow your mind. .... then you'll come crashing back to reality. ^_~

Yeah, thats exactly what i thought of too, but I wasnt sure.
Global-Trance Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Any thoughts? People are spouting out quite a bit about this on the Smashboards forum as a result of trying to read too much into the update. Of course, we'll have no explanation about it until at least Monday.
Jam Stunna Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Isn't the basic concept of every Smash Bros. game the idea of trophies/dolls fighting each other? This just seems like an extension of that common theme, although I have no idea what that blob is.
Mr.Roboto Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Whats weird,isn't that Meta Knights ship in the background? ...Unless they're going to add a catalog of.."evil?" characters.The ones that break the rules? Word.
Ray Falling Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I was just thinking to myself how updates so far have not been like, completely mind blowing in the sense that you'd go "oooh, I see now. So this IS SSBB!" So you can imagine this update made my day I'm guessing these screenshots are from some type of into movie. Very interesting and very curious about what they have in store for us now Maybe the creature in the last screen is some type of new universal bad guy. Since being turned into a trophy is as bad as death, I can imagine in this Smash Bros. winning the game would result in your character breaking free from such a fate, rather than being turned into a trophy again like in Melee. Game...turning...too...awesome EDIT: The screens suggest Mario turned Kirby back to life after him being turned into a trophy again. Him grabbing Kirby's hand shows a sign of friendship, but just as he does, evil stuff happens 0_0. Which is probably what they meant by "When someone...or something...breaks those rules, the world will pay a terrible price..." Friendship = bad. Fighting = good >_>
eternal Zero Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 To recap: Trophies fighting against each other is SOP. Once one wins, the other is turned back into a trophy. SOP designates that the victor reanimate the fallen so that they may fight another day. Friendship seems to be accepted as long as competition through fighting remains. Breaking the rules could mean anything from preventing reanimation to complete destruction of the trophy.
