Antipode Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 An interesting quote from IGN's newest Smash It Up, just to keep things moving: You can go ahead and let go of the "Sakurai said only 1-2 more third-party spots" argument right now, because that's ridiculously outdated news. We know there are going to be more than that – count on it.

Jaybell Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Not on the subject of Brawl, I know, but has anyone ever actually managed to get through a match with 99 lives each? I tried with my friends, but after the first fifteen lives we stopped caring and started goofing around instead of playing seriously. Another ten lives later, we got impatient and decided to see who could lose all their lives the fastest. Anyone ever go through 99 lives, without giving up and killing themselves?
Zombie Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I think I have tried that before. If I remember correctly, we didn't get too far.
Antipode Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 No, but setting up a 99 life match with four level-9 ice climbers on Lightning speed with only super mushrooms on max is pretty fun, especially on the smallest stage. It's impossible to even tell what's going on.

Yea I did it with friends. We were on Super Sudden Death though which was hilarious, but it probably doesn't count. I can't see how someone could sit through a whole normal melee with 99 lives. It would take hours. You would probably kill all enjoyment of that character and level you were playing. Imagine it on the temple stage8-O
friendlyHunter Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I can't remember if it was 99 lives or something closer to 50, but in SSB 64 I played with 200% damage, items on "very high" with only bob-ombs, mines, and bumpers. And I think it was on Peach's Castle. Needless to say, it was great fun. I can't remember if we played all the way to the end though...
RealFolkBlues Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Me and my friends did it straight up, right after Melee came out. No Sudden Death, no nothing. I think we were at Onett. And yes, it did last about three hours. Silly lock-ins. I'm pretty sure I won, actually. Samus is damned good for the long haul.
Dhsu Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I always wished there was a way to combine Super Sudden Death with Lightning Melee. Maybe in Brawl...

Linkjing Donuts Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 a couple friends of mine told me they tried it. took them hours, but they went through all 99 lives
Aninymouse Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I'm one of the ones who tried it but just got bored after about stock number 60 or so... About IGN telling us to expect more than three 3rd party characters, well... they'll post any rumor so long as it gets them attention. Until I hear it from the horse's mouth, I'm not biting.
Airwalker Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Hey, with Daylight Savings Time, we essentially get our updates an hour earlier now, huh?
Rambo Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Hey, with Daylight Savings Time, we essentially get our updates an hour earlier now, huh? errr... Don't we essentially get them an hour later? As for the 99 stock thing. I've done it once with a friend. We recorded the entire thing on VHS hoping for some golden material... but as the night went on it just got worse and worse... and there was nothing worth watching twice - aside from humiliating back to back suicides and such.
Airwalker Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Japan doesn't have daylight savings time. So, it's Fall--we fall back an hour relative to Japan. So, while it would have been 2 AM usually (update time in my time zone), the clock will say 1 AM now, when it would really have been 2 AM just a week before. Am I wrong? These fall back, spring forward hour things always make my brain hurt.
friendlyHunter Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 It took me a few minutes to convince myself, but Airwalker's right - Japan Time is now an hour earlier for us daylight savings time nations. That is, unless Japan has some sort of crazy double daylight savings time. But who cares, tonight's update is going to be late anyway. The Ridley mascot in the corner of the screen tells me this one's gonna be big... ...and late.
MasterSenshi Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 People are already saying that it's in. I must have missed the link that confirmed this or something. It was confirmed about the same time the Stage Editor was... As well as an Earthbound/Mother related stage. Well the music was confirmed for both, so we can just hope for an awesome DKC 2 themed level (or DKC anything), due to Diddy's inclusion.
MasterSenshi Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I always wished there was a way to combine Super Sudden Death with Lightning Melee. Maybe in Brawl... You can do Fast mode, with 300%, whether fast is the same as lightning was in melee, or if they keep the option in though, is up in the air. http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various04.html
Antipode Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 About IGN telling us to expect more than three 3rd party characters, well... they'll post any rumor so long as it gets them attention. Until I hear it from the horse's mouth, I'm not biting. They used the exact same words, "count on it", when talking about whether or not Sonic might be in it awhile back. Just sayin'. Also a Bramble stage would improve my enjoyment of this game by so much...
JackKieser Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Nicholas has a point... BTW, I'm really hoping you're all right about the DST thing. Getting to be an hour earlier would be nice... --Jack Kieser
Triad Orion Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Yeah, I don't trust IGN as a reliable source of information. They're an infamous hype machine and it's best to take anything they say at all with a grain of salt. While that's true of any media form, one must really keep reasonable doubt in mind.
