Some additions I've been waiting for have been a Metroid and Lightning Bolt to show up as items. I know I've mentioned both before, but that was probably a year ago, or more. I like that they've already put in Nintendogs, and I look forward to what a Chibi-Robot would do.

If the Metroid were there, I would like it to do something like 20-30 damage before returning to you, to refill that much health back. A lightning bolt would basically be a Super Mushroom, but with a different perspective. Everybody else gets small, and you stay, instead of everybody staying, and you getting big. Alternitavely, it could come down in bolts, like Pika's, and shrink whoever gets hit. Either way could work, really, although I think I prefer the second, only because it offers something different/unique.

You just explained why they won't be in Brawl.

But Microsoft loves Wii.

Apparently not Bill Gates though.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #453 on:** May 30, 2006, 05:18:42 AM »

Isn't Rare more like a second party developer now, since it is owned by Microsoft? Or is it wholey first party now?

Also

If Mega Man is in the game, I would rather Rush and Call be items in the game.

Rush could beam down and the first person to jump on him gets to ride Rush Jet or us his spring jump, to jump super high. It wouldn't neccessarly be the most useful item in the game but cool.

Call could activate on her own and fly around dropping health items from the Mega Man universe.

Hehe, this means the next character they do a profile on will be a new character to the game (well, unless it's Link/Mario/Kirby/Pikachu). Can't wait to find out who they add next. Probably will be someone from Melee or something though. Still should be fun to find out.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #456 on:** May 31, 2006, 08:20:26 PM »

Since they're showing the charactors from the trailer, my guess is Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu will be the next group shown, followed by charactors like Fox and Donkey Kong which everyone knows will be in it.

I get the feeling that any completly new charactors probobly wont be revealed until sometime this fall since the game isn't supposed to come out until 2007. Plus for Melee the secret charactors weren't shown on the offical website until after the game was released so chances are alot of charactors wont be revealed until after the game comes out.

Of course the website N-Sider revealed all the secret charactors for Melee a few weeks before the game was even released in Japan so maybe the same will happen with Brawl to.

I would think if SquareEnix had a character, it would be Mog or Chrono. Those may be the best fit (and my favorite from Square). Capcom, I would agree with Mega Man (X). I don't think Belmont or Alucard/Soma would be in the game, since Konami already has one character confirmed. But then again, there's always hidden characters... as far as we know, there could be two characters per third-party (so maybe 3 third-party companies, for a total of 3 starting and 3 hidden characters).

I bet John Madden will be in it.

I want a badger. It's got mushrooms and Snake so it needs badgers.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #462 on:** June 01, 2006, 04:00:39 AM »

I want to play as a Metroid space pirate. You could climb up walls and shoot squiggly lines from your claw-hand-things.

Bloodworth · « **Reply #463 on:** June 01, 2006, 05:11:02 AM »

And don't forget that you could make parrot noises when you jump.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #464 on:** June 01, 2006, 07:35:30 AM »

I would settle for John Madden recording like 4-5 hours of audio for some colorful play by play of the action.

BOOM!!! The Linebacker...I mean Link didn't even see that coming.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #465 on:** June 01, 2006, 11:50:49 AM »

Just thinking about this for a moment. We have Snake, Princess Peach, Ness and Star Fox throwing poke balls at each other and wearing bunny hoods all while Meta-Knight's ship is flying around in the background along with operatic music with latin lyrics and John Madden giving a play by play commentary.

Now that's a game.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #466 on:** June 01, 2006, 01:17:16 PM »

Has anyone else noticed that Link is wearing pants and not tights?

Smoke39 · « **Reply #467 on:** June 01, 2006, 07:25:39 PM »

Yes, just like in TP. It makes me sad. ):

I'd settle for him replacing the original announcer.

"Jigglypuff!" "Player one defeated!"

Yeah.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #469 on:** June 02, 2006, 01:13:18 AM »

Hmm, this could be interesting.

While looking around some message boards I've discovered a quote that I'm not sure if it's true or not.

This is the quote.

---------------------

Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed the following names to appear in Nintendo's upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl via interview with Tokyo's popular "The Gaming Exchange" radio show:

New Faces:
KOOPA KID
RIDLEY
WIND WAKER LINK

Removed Faces:
ICE CLIMBERS
MR. GAME & WATCH
YOUNG LINK

Sakurai also confirmed that the existing "clones" from SSBM will be reworked as entirely seperate characters. One should also note that Young Link isn't being replaced entirely, rather simply replaced with the cel-shaded Link from Wind Waker. His name on the selection screen will still read "Young Link". Sakurai stated Game & Watch and the Ice Climbers will be removed due to the lack of general fan interest and that he decided to include Kid Icarus' Pit as a replacement to the Ice Climbers for those old school fans. He mentioned Pit will likely be the only classic character included. Also of importance is the fact that, according to Sakurai, the roster will be "between 30 and 40", leaving room for about 15 newcomers or so. In addition, there will be only be "one or two" 3rd party characters.

----------------------------

Once again, I'm not sure if this is true or not since it hasn't been reported by any major websites yet. But I'm posting it because it would be very important information if it's actually true.

Oh and Bowsers name in Japan is Koopa so the Koopa Kid would be Bowser Jr from Super Mario Sunshine. So if this info is true that would mean Bowser Jr and Ridley would both be new charactors with WW Link replacing Young Link. Of course poor Ice Climbers and Game and Watch would be gone if true aswell.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #470 on:** June 02, 2006, 02:47:04 AM »

I kind of find that quote hard to believe. Ice Climbers happened to be (a) very solid fighter(s). One of the biggest challenges for me is facing someone who is good with the Ice Climbers, to just outright remove them seems like a very poor decision. Quite frankly I can understand the removal of Mr. Game and Watch but I would not be happy with his removal if this is true. I like the idea of swapping Young Link with Wind Waker Link, should differentiate him from Link. The clone news is a good thing if it turns out to be true, but I hope they don't rework the clones too much because I was a Ganondorf fighter and I would be a little peaved if his move set gets dumped in favor of Captain Falcon. As far as the newcomers go, that seems like an obvious few so I guess we will see if there are any big surprises down the road.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #471 on:** June 02, 2006, 05:29:24 AM »

I don't believe that quote either.

Yes, lets take away one of the most original characters in the game, and replace them. Also, lets not go into the past and find classic characters that people love. The fact that Meta Knight is in the game...I consider him a classic character.

I have a feeling we really have no idea whom will be included in the game...and neither does Sakurai yet. Why else would he be actually asking Japanese gamers who they would like to play in Smash Brothers...if the roster was already decided, then it would be a mute point.

"The Gaming Exchange" Sakurai

Turns up nothing.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #473 on:** June 02, 2006, 10:50:05 AM »

The only thing I'm kinda worried about is that I'm afraid I'm gonna really hate the music in this game. My favorite track from melee was the Brinstar stage. There's no orchestral substitute for an electric guitar.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #474 on:** June 02, 2006, 11:08:05 AM »

Smoke: Well, I am very excited about the music...and just because an Orchestra is being used...doesn't mean an Electric Guitar won't be used in some tracks...or used along side the orchestra.

The one thing that really has me excited, is that Sakurai wants to create a new "feel" for the game, and that the Orchestrated music is a part of that. To me I feel he wants to create a more serious tone for this game. (Not to make it serious, but to perhaps make this his grande finale with the series.) I expect the game to be quite amazing, and I expect the game to move away from the toy figurines and more into these are the real characters. It would open up alot for the single player story mode.

This game is going to be an opus of all things beautiful and Nintendo. Just wait and see.
