Wow.

She's filled out nicely.

So yeah, she could be in Smash Bros. Maybe just as a trophy. I wonder if they'll do trophies again.

Misty was in SSBM as a trophy if memory serves correctly =)

I would like it if they are in fact able to have it so you can keep the profile on your remote.

I never minded the way the Gamecube controller was set up, though this is a nice feature.

Cool update. Commence speculation on the mosaicked character selection screen.

After looking at the picture that seems to be part of the character select screen for a while, I just do not think it is really being blurred out. I mean, if they really did not want us to see something then they would have just cropped the screen even more. While the purple block seem to have a random appearance the white/yellow semicircle surrounded by red seems to be too uniformed to be the mosaicking out of character portrait boxes.

I think most people are just looking for something that is not there, hoping to gleam some more info out of what I think some, not me, would call a lackluster update. This is all just my take though, and I wont mind hearing about the characters that other may see in the screen shot.

Lets see,  Misty was 10 in the original cartoon and games.  Pokemon has been around ~11 years.  So she is 21.  Congratulation Misty you can drink!

Anyways, they did a great job on taking a possibly lame utilitarian update and spicing it up with some good information.  Though anyone else notice that they to do cellphone style name entry?  I'm starting to think that actual games don't have access to the keyboard input stuff built in.  Which would make sense actually.  Nintendo generally just dumps you into the raw hardware when a game starts.

This update reminds me what seperates the good designers from the great designers.

They are literally thinking of every little detail to make not only the game playable and enjoyable, but also the entire interface for playing the game.

I love the idea of programing how I want EACH control setup to work, that way it is done once, and no matter how I decide to play the game it is setup for me.

The only thing I don't like is the Cell Phone set up for name entry.  It is too modern and really not the fastest way to do it.  Sure everyone knows how to text on phones now...but give me the Wii internet keyboard please...I am pretty fast with that.

It could just be the real estate that the keyboard takes up.  I remember in SSBM that entering a new name would cause a pretty nasty interruption if done at the character select screen.  A small cellphone keypad type entry would be easy enough to bring up without interrupting others from picking a name or creating their own name.  It is also likely due to the teens that are just used to it and focus group studies may have shown that it is a preferred form of input.  (Even if older people like me find it slower)

Agreed.  

This is a great update.  I plan on using the GC controller, and hopefully, I'll be able to configure it to use the d-pad as opposed to the analog stick.

even if it does take (you) longer you're only going to be doing it once. if you want a different profile name for a different controller (ie "spak" for wiimote and "spak2" for GC controller) you'd only have to input each name only once, so a few extra seconds of your life won't be completely wasted (compared to how many hours you might play this with friends off or online)

I still think it will be one name and let you go in and do all the controllers at once.

You know I read it differently.  I thought you could save your controller preferrence for each control type on a single name.  So SPAK!  could have a custom control type for Gamecube, Wiimote, Nunchuk, and Classic Controller.  

Anyway, I don't want to sound like I am complaining too much...I just don't like the Cell Phone input...to me it is counter intuitive.  However, if it does allow for multiple people to input their name at a time then it will be a pretty cool system.

Oh man this is a great update for me. Though I was pretty sure I would have loved what ever control scheme they made for us, this is wonderful! Hm going to figure out exactly how I want to play the game right now, assuming the basic controls are the same.

My preferred method.

Classic Controller:

L/R Block/Throw
X/Y both Jump
A Special
B Attack  (Or vice versa) I can't remember the button layout.

That is how I will be playing.

Here's hoping they allow us to turn off pressing up to jump...

I am hoping they just all together take out that C-Stick Smash...since other control schemes won't have that option.

I enjoyed the charging Smashes from Melee, but I am also ok with the simplistic Smash System from the first.

It doesn't really matter to me though.  I just want to play the game.

Hmmm, I'm most likely going to play with the Wiimote+Nunchuk setup, so my likely custom controls will be:

A - Standard attack
B - Special Attack
D-pad Down - Jump
Z - Shield
C - Grab

I might switch the buttons for Special Attack and Jump if I feel it necessary...
