Lol Emo Star princess . . . is that her formal name? =)

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Please select your characters . . .

EMOOOOO STARRRRRR PRINCESSSS!" *exaggerated drawn out yell of name ala MARIIIOOOOO from Melee*

lol. We can call her Esprin for short.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1254 on:** July 23, 2007, 09:18:46 AM »

Lol sounds like a Pokemon name.

"Esprin I choose you! . . . wait why are you already damaged? Ugh were you cutting yourself again!?"

Did I go too far? lemme know . . . lol.

Ceric · « **Reply #1255 on:** July 23, 2007, 09:20:36 AM »

Maybe she can teach my grass to be emo as well. Credit goes to Kenshin avatar poster whose name is escaping me at the moment.

Though what is the antithesis of emo anyways? Opera loving upbeat people? She could really be that.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1256 on:** July 23, 2007, 09:30:14 AM »

Hmm not sure Ceric . . . this could be one of the many story issues SMG has to tackle lol.

Sarail · « **Reply #1257 on:** July 23, 2007, 12:57:33 PM »

I, for one, really hope we get a new character update this week. If not that, then at least show us Yoshi, Captain Falcon, Ness, Jigglypuff, Snake, or Metaknight. Geez, Sakurai.

"And now, introducing Tuesday's update! View the character select screen cursor, with all-new postage-stamp-sized screenshots!"

Mashiro · « **Reply #1259 on:** July 23, 2007, 01:02:00 PM »

The character select screen, even with blanked out spaces for characters they aren't ready to show yet, would be awesome. Just to give you an idea of how many characters there will be and whatnot.

UERD · « **Reply #1260 on:** July 23, 2007, 01:04:23 PM »

Actually, it would be pretty awesome. Which is why they're going to Photoshop out the screen and leave only the cursor.

But you can still link to the direct entry, like this, so when someone reads this a few days after the update they can figure out what the Hell everyone's talking about.

Agreed. I'd like to see how many we're looking at.

Honestly, I'd prefer fewer characters and better balance and uniqueness to more characters and more commonality and tiers.

There's no point of listening to Ebert, he doesn't play games! seriously, why should we care about it? bring me someone who actually plays a lot of games and don't consider them art.

edit:

oops wrong thread this is the first time this ever happened to me! I feel like a finally earned my geek badge

*checks thread*

Almost fooled me there for a second.

Because wandering is absolutely worthless when it comes to updating, here's a little spreadsheet I just threw together...

SMASHDATE

(Oops, I forgot to add the very first day of updates with the Battlefield stage...If there are any other mistakes, let me know...)

Yeah, to be honest I feel the same way. I'd rather Nintendo put fewer, more 'diverse' characters in that are balanced, fair, and fun to play, than make SSBB into some sort of fanservice wank filled with dozens of crappy clone characters. (Although the game is a fanservice wank to begin with, there's no reason why it can't be a fanservice wank with good gameplay).

Bullcrap! All the time you uncultured brutes spend on video games could be used to try to reason out why an orange carpet, a urinal with a placard, a pile of dung, and a bunch of live fish in blenders all count as modern art masterpieces.

Ceric · « **Reply #1267 on:** July 23, 2007, 03:16:52 PM »

You will no longer use coins to select your character.

Coins Bad...

You will now use the Claw and all the trophies will be huddled together.

...Your Master the Claw Good

I Have Been Chosen!

Once the Trophy is in hand you make a throwing motion with the Wiimote to summon your contender into battle.

Mario! You are a Goooooo!!!!!

How Exciting.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1268 on:** July 23, 2007, 03:18:44 PM »

Ceric has inside sources at Nintendo!

Ceric · « **Reply #1269 on:** July 23, 2007, 03:22:56 PM »

As you may as notice the production quality of this update is rather low. It seems all the wining and dining we have been doing lately has caught up with us. I'm glad the online mode is in but now with are stripped staff some creative measures had to be farmed out.

You know who wasn't in the Smashville stage? Lyle.

Lyle confirmed playable.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #1272 on:** July 23, 2007, 04:30:30 PM »

Slightly off topic, but Gamestop and EB Games are accepting pre-orders for Brawl.

I put 5 bucks on my copy

. I hope it has online, even if its just 2 on 2. That's going to be the determining factor in my full purchase.

IceCold · « **Reply #1273 on:** July 23, 2007, 06:28:11 PM »

That's a great list - it needs to be on the front page or something..

As for the music in this stage, I think it'd be the logical thing to predict the Rumble Falls theme, but I hope the music from Arie Fortress makes it in instead...

YES! I've said it before, but that music is incredible..

It's Aerie Fortress, though..

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1274 on:** July 23, 2007, 06:41:44 PM »

Oops, a little typo never hurt anyone... ='D

Prediction time! I say there will be a new addition to the Special Moves or Items (regular items) category tonight...
