Gooey Bomb > Plasma Grenade.

I say we call it (SB)^2.

IceCold · « **Reply #27 on:** May 27, 2007, 03:33:23 PM »

But (SB)^2 isn't SSBB (it's SS+2SB+BB)..

that Baby guy · « **Reply #28 on:** May 27, 2007, 03:35:12 PM »

Nope, that's (S + B)^2

(SB)^2 is SB * SB which is the same as S^2 * B^2 and S*S*B*B

nickmitch · « **Reply #29 on:** May 27, 2007, 03:46:20 PM »

I dunno about calling it (SB)^2. That makes it seem like SBSB, which doesn't make sense. Besides, it's a general rule of thumb not to use the associative property for mathematical abbreviations.

IceCold · « **Reply #30 on:** May 27, 2007, 05:43:45 PM »

Wow, I can't believe I messed that one up..

Anyway, when they changed the name to Wii, they destroyed all hope of calling it Dance Dance Revolution Revolution..

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #31 on:** May 27, 2007, 09:25:03 PM »

Well the site was just updated. Not much of an update but we get to see what Pit's normal B and Up B move are. I wonder if this means tomorrows update will be his Forward B and Down B move then? Or maybe those will be shown today also but Sakurai hasn't finished updating yet. We'll I'm going to bed now so if he adds anything else, it'll be when I'm a sleep.

I didn't need it but some of you may have... that's confirmation that special moves won't use waggle.

I like how the Smash Bros. teams handle the character designs - they do a surprisingly good job of being faithful to the source material while still creating a fairly cohesive look for all these really varied characters.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #34 on:** May 28, 2007, 03:17:24 PM »

(SB)^2 would be (SB)(SB)

Just BTW.

Kraven · « **Reply #35 on:** May 28, 2007, 03:54:19 PM »

It would be (S^2)(B^2)=SSBB

Oh and Pit looks sweet, I just wish they had given video of his special moves and not pictures.

wandering · « **Reply #36 on:** May 28, 2007, 05:28:08 PM »

Incidentally, I wonder how we'll feel about Pit once Kid Icarus Wii comes out. I thought Samus and Ridley looked good in Melee, until Prime came out. Now I think they look very weird.

Adrock · « **Reply #37 on:** May 28, 2007, 05:50:28 PM »

Well, that's assuming a new Kid Icarus is coming.

Nintendo could always just use Pit's Brawl design. I think it's a pretty good update on his character, except he's smiling in most of the released screenshots. What's he so damn happy about? That smug bastard.

But....(SS)(BB) = SSBB, thanks to the, um, somethingsomething property.

The Associative Property of Multiplication.

nickmitch · « **Reply #41 on:** May 28, 2007, 08:08:26 PM »

Seriously, we just went over this.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #42 on:** May 28, 2007, 08:29:31 PM »

So when it says his up + b allows Pit to freely move, does anyone else interpret that as movement in any direction for a short time, or could it mean something different?

Smoke39 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 28, 2007, 09:11:19 PM »

That's what I'm guessing. Like using the feather in Kid Icarus.

WalkingTheCow · « **Reply #44 on:** May 28, 2007, 10:17:22 PM »

Coolest update yet.
The Final Smash.

Sounds promising.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #45 on:** May 29, 2007, 12:28:29 AM »

Now this is my kind of update. It sounds like characters can only use Final Smash attacks once per match, which is nice to hear since an item like that could make the game way to cheap if it allowed people to these attacks over and over again.

I also think this means Samus turns into Zero Suit Samus by using one of these items then. We all talked about this after the E3 2006 trailer when her armor comes off after using here Final Smash attack. I think this is now a reality because it makes sense because her Final Smash looks like it takes up most of the screen which will probably make it one of the strongest Final Smash attacks, but after using it she'll because Zero Suit in order to trade power for speed for the rest of the match. I think this sounds like a great way to balance out her character if true then.

Dasmos · « **Reply #46 on:** May 29, 2007, 01:24:50 AM »

I'd like to think that somehow it's avoidable, I don't like the idea of an item that powerful dictating too much of the action.

Ceric · « **Reply #47 on:** May 29, 2007, 02:02:21 AM »

I'm sure that it is Dasmos. You can probably lessen it by blocking and totally sidestep the really strong ones, like say Samus's attack.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #48 on:** May 29, 2007, 03:08:15 AM »

In the update it says to run away from it when Mario unleashes the attack. I am quite positive that means it can be somewhat avoidable.

But we are talking about an extremely powerful attack that can only be used once per game, per player...and only if you get a special item. So if you don't like the ability turn the item off.

Personally, I like the idea of a mega attack...it will be fun to see people running desperately to pick up the item, and then flee desperately away when they don't pick it up.

Adrock · « **Reply #49 on:** May 29, 2007, 03:55:04 AM »

I was never really fond of the Smash Ball item. I kind of wish you earned a Final Smash through good old fashioned pwning to fill a meter though the addition of a meter could complicate the game a bit.

Also, I know they already revealed how Zero Suit Samus would work last year, but I was hoping they would re-consider and make her a separate character. I was also hoping they'd make Samus more like she is in Metroid 3 and give her the stacked ice beam, a charged shot would temporarily freeze enemies. With a little tweaking, that could've added a lot to Samus' character in Smash.
