Though Celda "Link" could be an interesting character. Especially if they put the parry in their and did the sounds for him like in the game.

What's with the quotes? Shouldn't they be around "Celda"?

I would absolutely love to see Wind Waker Link replace Young Link. Great idea. ^_^

Now THIS has been a strange update.

Maybe a brand-new fleshed out storyline for the single-player arcade mode? I could go for that.

Kairon · « **Reply #1079 on:** July 19, 2007, 08:35:58 PM »

I am sooo looking forward to this new storyline they're hinting at.

But what's with Meta Knight's ship showing up when things going bad? I thought Meta Knight was a good guy?

Meta Knight is a bad/good guy, he can be either, at least he is in the kirby games. He does have honor though, which is why he always gives Kirby a sword.

It definitely looks like they are aiming for a pseudo storyline in Brawl.

From what I understood the characters we see in Brawl are not the original characters but gladiator drones whose sole purpose is to fight each other for the amusement of others.

Being turned back into a trophy is basically a metaphor for death at the hands of your opponent.

I think Mario resurrecting Kirby and becoming friends went against the rules and thus brought chaos to this world.

Maybe the storyline in single player mode has your character battling his or her way through various worlds in order to defeat this evil and restore peace to the SSB world.

They definitely created a teaser update with this one...

They've had that angle ever since the first smash bros. All smash bros. have shown toys transforming into the fighters. And why do you think "Master Hand" was always the boss? Master Hand was the thing picking up the toys and making 'em fight each other!

Do I sense a philosophical meaning behind this?

Hey guys...

Look at the clouds in that one screen...

There's faces in them.

from the left is Bowser, then Ridley, can't make out the other one, but to the far right is Ganondorf.

Hmmmmm...This is one sneaky update

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1085 on:** July 19, 2007, 10:55:50 PM »

"Do I sense a philosophical meaning behind this?"

The players are the bad guys, because we make them fight... =3

"Look at the clouds in that one screen...There's faces in them."

To be honest, I think you are looking too hard into things... =D

As for Metaknight's ship, since this Puppet Master (which I will call the main boss until we get official confirmation on who it is...) has control over all these characters, it's not impossible to assume he has access to it and other things found in the Nintendo universe...

Shecky · « **Reply #1086 on:** July 20, 2007, 01:05:42 AM »

Yeah, this is the same "story"... just fleshed out with some wordage. I wonder if the verboseness is part of just this post or the game. I almost guarantee that we're seeing the opening cinematic with those shots, and there is a good chance that it'll just be acted out without words just like past titles.

I'll note that this game mode is still undisclosed. It listed as

and will likely stay that way until release. It likely ties to the name of the character in the last shot and to either the adventure or arcade mode.

who is the guy in the last pic. A brand new character? Or a boss for the game

Ceric · « **Reply #1088 on:** July 20, 2007, 02:45:21 AM »

Interesting update.

I hope they don't ever talk in that game. Just show what their saying through actions. Let you fill in the words. Much like if you were playing with ... wait for it ... Toys.
I don't know what my take is on an actual Smash specific character. I rather have a character from a series trying to put the world "right." I always had the romantic notion that the Fields and everything in Smash where just from the Master Hands imagination.

Looking at it again it looks like it could be the son of the Homerun Hitting bag. Get revenge for the abuse his father/mother took.

Doesn't look menacing enough to be a boss...I'm thinking minor underling...

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #1090 on:** July 20, 2007, 02:53:46 AM »

I think THIS WORLD...

Is the new adventure mode.

Basically the story starts out as typical Smash Bros. Trophies fighting together in friendly competitions. That is all they know.

This is no different than the basic story of Melee...and pays tribute to children playing with toys. A simple elegant system to allow Nintendo to bring their mascots to fight, but without having them truly fight. They are toys.

But, now something is interrupting that world. That isn't us. We were already a part of that world.

I believe the story is going to be about freeing these Statues and releasing them into "the real world"
but, the real world isn't our world. It is the worlds of each video game. They are being released into Hyrule, Mushroom Kingdom, and Dreamland.

There is definitely going to be a deeper story to this game.

As for Metaknight, I would suggest that perhaps he was one of the trophies freed first. Because they don't actually show Metaknight, they show a new character never before shown...or is that something happening to a new character?

"This is no different than the basic story of Melee...and pays tribute to children playing with toys. A simple elegant system to allow Nintendo to bring their mascots to fight, but without having them truly fight. They are toys."

Seems more like they are slaves this time around...From the screenshots, I can gather this:

1) Mario and Kirby forced to fight
2) Mario wins and Kirby turns back into a trophy
3) Mario saves Kirby from his trophy state and they become friends
4) Bad guy controlling the trophies doesn't like that and comes down to play

With the fact that a "deeper" story seems to happening, it'd be really neat if all the battles to unlock characters had a tiny bit more dramatization to them (like Kirby running through the woods, then Metaknight jumps down, tosses Kirby a sword, and they fight...If you win, you get Metaknight, etc...)

Ceric · « **Reply #1092 on:** July 20, 2007, 03:15:44 AM »

You know what be interesting is if the Story actually reveals that Metaknight and Kirby in fact truly started life as a trophy and had escaped to Dreamland. I think that be an interesting twist. Isn't Smash official under the people who created Kirby originally?

Mashiro · « **Reply #1093 on:** July 20, 2007, 03:17:21 AM »

Yes Ceric they did originally make Kirby . . .

and that would be an awesome story!

Ceric · « **Reply #1094 on:** July 20, 2007, 03:44:11 AM »

Also it would tie that whole universe together nicely especially how NME creates monsters. Though I haven't fully played through many of the Kirby games so all of that could already be explained.

I think it'll be the opposite, with a climactic revelation:

Badguy: Mario never told you what happened to your father.
Sandbag: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Badguy: No. I am your father.

Sandbag Playable Character Confirmed. That would be awesome in a very weird way. Sandbag Saviour of the Smash.

OMG I JUST FOUND SOMETHING OUT. Go into that brawl update and highlight the whole things it reveals text talking about trophies and that last pic

Mashiro · « **Reply #1098 on:** July 20, 2007, 05:10:31 AM »

LIES!

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #1099 on:** July 20, 2007, 05:28:41 AM »

New Theory.

The final shot the new character looks like a robot. And it does look more like a minor minion.

What if these new robots can become other characters. Transform into the other trophies...and therefore they are breaking the rules of the Smash world. Trophies are perhaps being totally destroyed instead of characters being frozen as a trophy until being called to fight again.

They could incorporate this into the story for the reasons why some characters from Melee are not in the game. Perhaps Pichu, Doctor Mario, ect were attacked by these robots and eliminated.

So for the first time in Brawl it truly is a fight for each characters life, and they must pull together to rid this menace from their world.

In this story line Meta Knight has already been taken over by the robots. (Though if that is the case Trophies can't be destoryed...perhaps to copy them they must enslave them as trophies perminantly...like they are taking their souls from them.

Just a thought.
