Airwalker Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 porky is and always has been pokey's japanese namethe fact that theyre using the japanese name is one of those things that makes you realize we're never getting mother 3 officially translated Or you could be one of those optimists and see the inclusion of Mother 3 as a sign that demand will increase and may lead to a US release, a la Fire Emblem. Perhaps we'll have a more faithful translation? Here's to Mother 3 on Mother's Day, 2008! (That's right, I'm calling a date.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see a Metroid-themed level but I'm wondering if the Parasite Queen will attack players or if it's just atmosphere and the only hazard is the rotating stage the way it was with Brinstar Depths. Oh, and Final Destination with Bob-Ombs only set on Very High. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scufo Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 And oh yeah, it flips upside down. .....WHY??? Seriously. I don't recall the frigate ever randomly flipping in MP. Dynamic stages are all good and well, but not when they don't make any goddamn sense. Plus, with the exception of Pokemon Stadium and maybe Mute City, did anyone actually play any of Melee's moving/changing stages on a regular basis? Cause I sure as hell didn't. Normal MP stage plz.

Cause I sure as hell didn't. Normal MP stage plz. I know people that enjoyed playing on Poke-floats quite a bit. Theres plenty of other levels that don't seem to move around a lot, go play on one of those if you don't like the moving ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scufo Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I never said moving stages are bad. But after the WHOA THIS STAGE IS MOVING effect wears off you just end up having to fight the stage more than your opponents and it gets annoying. Go into your records and I guarantee your most played stages will not be pokefloats, or big blue, or flat zone, or rainbow cruise, or icicle mountain. The queen should periodically attack with its huge beam thingy instead (kind of like Lugia's attack but not insta-death). Then you would have a cool hazard that's true to the game but isn't too intrusive. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Icicle mountain, least played. Pokefloats and Big Blue are played often, 'cause I likes a good challenge when I'm playing. (...it also gives me a chance to keep playing for more than three minutes 'cause I suck. And playing around obstacles gives me more of a chance to show off my hit 'em and run-repeat technique...cough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HideousBeing Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yes... Because SMASH BROTHERS, is supposed to make sense... Naturally. I mean, I double jump all the time. I also fly further when I get in fights after every consecutive hit I get, until I get pummeled so high, I fall far away from the fightground and nondescriptly dissappear with a bling. Then, of course, I spawn on lit up gyro-platform, or else my family would miss me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codycrusader Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 That's cool, hope they have more references to the Prime series. But this stage made me think of all of the other moving stages which made me think of the 3rd parties... I'm starting to get the feeling that Brawl might be a little sucky because it's sticking to the "OMG TEH STAGE IZ MOVING WIT SONICZ!1!!1!11!!!1" and it's gonna only do that crap. I suppose the Sakuri dude or however you spell it is bored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Jarna Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You forgot to mention that you have a colorful shield that pops up whenever you don't want to take a hit...or an egg. Also, I just realized that I'm not going to be able to play as Sonic, for whenever I jump and go into the little ball I'm going to try to hit people with my jump ala every Sonic game ever.

cobaltstarfire Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I thought his jump and spin jump were separated in Brawl? Maybe I thought wrong though. (heh that's what I get for thinking?) I'm too lazy to check my records, and they would hardly do any good since my friends and I played smash on like 4 different systems depending on where we were and who we were with. We all tended to turn off Rainbow cruise, G&W level, Venom, icicle mountain, both the mushroom kingdom stages. We'd pick the stage with the random, not by any specific preference. So in all likelihood there isn't a huge disparity between play counts on moving and stationary stages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global-Trance Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I went to Northern California Ultimate Biweekly at San Jose State University. Biggest f'ing tournament I've been to with a large handful of top names in the state there. Here's the list of the 48 of the 90 people. The bottom 42 players not listed were all eliminated in pools.

Drack Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 There were no smashers in Orpheon before it crashed. This should be an underwater level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddllama Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Moving stages take the focus away from playing well and put it on avoiding falling off. They make for poor stages. Just because "smash brothers" doesn't make much sense doesn't mean you shouldn't put effort into level design and balance. and I would not bat an eyelash if Mother 3 is released with more Japanese names. It's happened before, and a simple name difference isn't much of an idicator of a non-release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 "This item has absolutely no relevance for [90% of smash players]."

I-n-j-i-n Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I think this item is pretty boring/totally-useless in single player and free for alls and outright essential for serious multiplayer contests. Hopefully this means we see more serious team battles in SSB unlike the typical 1 vs 1 in tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm not going to lie. That's probably THE dumbest item I've ever seen. An item that doesn't allow you to heal yourself and may heal your opponent. Thanks, but I'd rather rape someone's sheild with Mr. Saturn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
