Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Global-Trance]

Someone a few pages back mentioned that maybe when you crawl, it'll make you harder to launch up or hit out. Anyone see the potential great use of this with a character like Bowser?

You can already do this, it's called Directional Influencing

Which is basically a fancy way of saying "if you hold left while in midair you'll move left and if you crouch you won't fly as far."

Moving in midair is Directional Influence and not moving when getting hit while holding down is Crouch Canceling. Get the terms right.

I made a character select screen mock-up. I think it is pretty accurate to how it will be in the actual game.

OMG SONIC'S GONNA BE IN THAT'S AWESOME!11!!!1!!!!!1!11!!!!shift+one!1!!

If you look at them in a certain way they kind of look like Pikmin.

I should start a petition to keep sonic out of Brawl D:<

[Jam Stunna]

Man, I really do wish they'd set a release date. It'll probably be around January... I hope.

My educated guess based on Nintendo history (but no links or research) is sometime in March. Mario Galaxy will probably be a few weeks off that date, I hope.

EDIT: 100th post! Woo-hoo, now I'm a Goomba!

I will be very surprised if this game actually comes out in 2007. Huge delays seem to have become standard operating procedure in the videogame industry.

You're still doing the same basic thing, pretty much, and the term doesn't matter as long as I do it

No.

I should start a petition to keep sonic out of Brawl D:<

why? Everyone respects Sonic as an awesome character, who deserves recognition and would be excellent in SSBB.

Go home and cry to your mum over it, if you don't like it. 'Cause frankly no one else wants to hear your bitchin'

You sure handled that in the mature way.

Sonic stopped being awesome when he started talking and having Shadow in the same game.

This man speaks the complete truth

Anyways, I'm starting to think a little more highly of Solid Snake. That arching kick could be a really easy to hit and useful spike, and even though someone pointed out the "electricity" is on everything, Snakes hits look like they're giving out much more of a lag effect on other characters than other people. Not to mention he looks a bit floaty and VERY strong. Did anyone else notice how his 3 hit A combo, doesn't lead into a repeating spam move? Looks like there will actually be a use for those A combos now

We'll have to see

I think Marth is a fine role model for young homosexual men everywhere.

Don't hate him because he's beautiful.

Although, one of my friends has suggested that the headband Marth wears is actually a tiara.

I will hate him because of c-stick spammers

The only thing I spam is Marth's counter because it's a lot better than Roy's. Seriously it is.

Actually, Roy's counter is a lot better... but Marth is just a way better character overall.

FORWARD AIR.

After 12 hours of Smashing at Ken's house... here were the results.

KEN'S BIWEEKLY NOVEMBER 11, 2006 RESULTS:

We opened up with crew battles between other UCs and one community college. We (UCSB) were in a tight spot in the very last match. On the last battle, if we won, we'd get 1st place... if we lost... 4th place. Unfortunately we lost due to the fact that we sent in our weakest link first and got four-stocked. What a set-back. We did good considering we had that guy on our team. We had to let him play though, I mean, it was his birthday, oh well.

I blew it in doubles... double eliminated easily. The two teams I went up against were way better teams. Nothing else about that.

On singles, I won a bit but eventually got out. Out of 52, I was placed 25th. It wasn't bad considering I'm looking at all the names of the players who were placed above me. Mostly top So-Cal players. I don't feel bad for placing where I placed. I've only been playing for slightly under a year. From the results, it doesn't look like I might be good, but hey, when you're outclassed, you're outclassed. I'm still a rapist outside the major tournament scene at least.

Ken's also reached a new level of ridiculous. At the end, Ken faced against Edrees (best Peach in the state of California) and beat him super easily with Luigi, Ganondorf, and Captain Falcon. He didn't even need to break out Marth for the finals. I didn't think any of that stuff Ken did was possible. Guess he was saving up his new characters for this tournament... Ken really is TOO good.

I didn't get a chance to play with me but someone told me he complimented on how I played. He said something along the lines of "Hey who's this guy from Santa Barbara? He's got good tech." At least I can take that home with me.

EDIT: PHOTOS TO COME WHEN I GET HOME

[Faduger]

Go SKYPAL, word to the hommies....wise you are...weak i am. The new smash will ruin life as i know it, awesome.

pwnt

Not really, Luigi's epic wavedash can play some serious mind games, not to mention his very easy to his fair that does some very nice knock back and damage. A very floaty character that can mess up your timing, and use great trickery

Also, this is Ken, easily one of the best Smashers in our entire continent

[The Author]

Okay, according to a Nintendo official I met today, SSBB will use the Wii controler... I still have doubts but anyway...

[ILLiterate]

It will use the Wii controler, but the director has said to keep your gamecube controllers, since you can use BOTH

[linkspast]

I was positive that they said that it would not use the wii-mote. It better not throw off my smash

Trust me on this one, the Wiimote is the best controller ever.

Quoted from Smashboards...

Alright time for pics!

All the photos I took are found here at:

http://g-t.dew-owns-it.com/biweekly

But here are a few select ones...

Keep in mind that these are all 25% of their original size.

Shoutouts:

Ken and Manacloud : Thanks for hosting.

X_Cal : Sweet ditto matches.

Ultra Luigi: Why are you so tight?

Scott ( I think): Sorry your Jigglypuff's Down+B phantom'd against me.

Aesis: You sexy beast.

CAOTIC: Thanks for going easy on me with your Peach.

Palmdale Peeps: You're all too good.

Other UC's: You're all also too good. Stop it.

And best wishes to all the birthday kids!

Biweekly Tourney's at Ken's place, as nerdy as they seem to be, are fun times... especially when they're birthday parties at the same time!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

So who's who in those pics?

[ILLiterate]

Bowser

[Dragonmaster_Alex]

I suck at this game. The level of depth and difficulty against a very skilled player seems almost worse than the asian kids who have 2d fighters down to an art.

Thank god for an offline mode. Will they have "smash points" in a similar sense to your online points with Tetris DS?

[Schlagwerk]

A note about the new SSBB trailer.

I'm not that impressed. It seems like another graphics update (with new characters); there's not any new gameplay enhancements that I can see. I'm gonna buy it though (SSB 1 & 2 didn't let me down).

Looking forward to playing as Pit(2 t's?) regardless.

So you missed the parts with destructible environments, crawling, and possible low-gravity stages? Not to mention the new Smash Bros symbol that enables Super Moves?
