Vyse the Three Eyes Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Wasn't the Franklin Badge from the SNES Earthbound or something? I'm sure you got it after you defeated the weird blue paint cult leader . It also played a more turning point-important role in Mother 3. But yeah, as far as items go, the Franklin Badge is 'fuck yeah' -epic-. I'd also say that, even if unlikely, this only guarentees the return of a main Mother character. Just because I know if they re-skin Ness into Lucas, even if he plays the same, there's gonna be a bit of bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless in the next couple months Nintendo somehow decides to release a localized Mother 3 on the Virtual Console. I'm not holding my breath in the slightest, but that would be pretty amazing. Either way, I'm excited about the inclusion of the Franklin Badge. A memorable item with an interesting gameplay effect is quite welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Interesting item. BTW, if it hasn't been posted before, IGN posted some exclusive (and neat) shots: http://media.wii.ign.com/media/748/748545/imgs_1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Aww that's pretty cute on kirby. I thought pikachus little thunder shocks could be reflected? I can't really remember, so maybe I'm terribly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoForte Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Apperantly Coro Coro magazine announced the release for Smash in Japan (Nov 22) and it has comfirmed WiFi for this game.

(Once I get Wi-Fi working in my house :/) Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the Space Emissary thing, hopefully it won't play out like a really bad Fan-Fic :S.

Red Shadow Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 (...or absorbed by Ness...) Ness can absorb pikachu's thunderbolt. This has been my favorite update so far, for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Ness can absorb pikachu's thunderbolt. Really? The one that comes from a thundercloud? I'll need to try that sometime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLiterate Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 On the topic of those new pictures...Link has counter now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makai Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 On the topic of those new pictures...Link has counter now? Assuming you're talking about this picture, I think it's just a smash attack since Pit has the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drack Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I wonder if this affects your OWN projectiles? Assuming Ness is in the game, would this block your own third "jump"? Throw a bob-omb up, let it hit you. What happens? What about the other odd stuff Fox's reflector worked against, like crates and barrels (they bust, but no knockback in melee)?

Calpis Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 This update is awesome not only in the fact that the Franklin Badge is being included but it's a sign that a Mother character will be in the game. I know it's kind of stupid to think that they wouldn't include one, but I was starting to worry a little bit. Ness is my main character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 On the topic of those new pictures...Link has counter now? I can't really tell from that picture... but if link has some of the wicked techniques he had in TP like helm splitter or mortal draw, that would be F***n sweet.

Cecilff2 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 After being reminded of metroid now, I think it'd be neat to have those metroid gremlins, or ostrich thing, as an assist trophy or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading (I think the original Dojo site) that the original 12 will be in Brawl. So that means Ness should be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T.W. Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I wonder... remember how Fox's reflector shield would hit players it they'd run into it? Would the Badge work the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattycat900 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 doubt it, the item would be border line invicibility then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he said only projectiles, so I'm going to assume that he means only that. Although, it'd be funny if throwing someone into you counted as a projectile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arek the Absolute Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I wonder...remember how Fox's reflector shield would hit players it they'd run into it? Would the Badge work the same? Um...what? Fox and Falco's reflectors only hurt someone when they were used right when someone was next to them. Running into an already active reflector does nothing.

Jam Stunna Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 My wife had the brilliant idea to finally record some of our matches with our digital camera. This is my first time editing videos to present to an audience, so keep that in mind! <- Great match <- Great matchAny criticisms or comments would be greatly appreciated.
