I think a delay would be a great thing if it means adding more than just Sonic.

I would love another third party character as well...(Mega Man, Bomberman, BOTH.)

But I would also like the Brawl team to work on getting voice chat working for Co-op mode.

I also would hope it would be possible for Nintendo to push Mario Kart Wii up to 2007 to fix this gap now in their schedule. Also I wish battalion Wars 2 would be delayed so add voice chat for Co-Op mode. (Mario Kart to me doesn't need it at all.) And perhaps Nintendo could push up Wii Fit for US market this December.

Did anybody notice that in the trailer, Fox uses his FSA against ZSS? I guess this means that we can expect multiple smash balls per match. This would put the smashball in the "one time use" and not in the "once per game" pile.
Also, Sonic's FSA looks to be Super Sonic, makes sense.
Also, SONIC! *drool*

Don't leave out the possibility that you can select Zero Suit Samus from the start, a la Sheik...

nickmitch · « **Reply #1478 on:** October 10, 2007, 03:25:00 AM »

This is true. But also, this means that ZSS will need her own FSA. So, what's that gonna be like?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1479 on:** October 10, 2007, 03:29:09 AM »

Her suit glues back on! ='D

I knew it was coming, but still, I had no idea we'd know so soon.

Sakurai just made my week...

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #1481 on:** October 10, 2007, 05:10:42 AM »

I figured Sonic would be saved for the last big update before release.

It looked like Fox simply smashed the smash ball instead of grabbing it.
The video confirmed that Mr. Resetti's speech balloons will cover the action.
Mario is fighting Petey instead of Kirby, so the events we saw in that movie are not set in stone.

1) Yeah, it looks like he did his Shadow Dash move into it...And the Smash Ball came in at a weird angle...Maybe it floats through the level without actually staying on the ground?
2) You can probably choose to be Mario or Kirby at the start...

Once Sonic is going fast enough his feet need to go to a circle blurb. I like how they kept his jumping sound. Hopefully though they'll opt out of having any of the other Sonic characters show up in any form but a collectable trophy or stickers. The items be fine. This would help with the loner vibe that Sonic has and Brawl could be tied back to his universe like Secret Rings was.

On the trailer. Great. I like the dancing part as sort of random. The Melee theme coming back was great. The Single Player Adventure mode seems to be shaping up but, I do still hope that they have the two older single player modes as well.

If you look at the video closer when they play his jumping sound, He is actually jumping from one of the bumpers from his game. I saw it watching the vid in slomo. Now the question is, is that his Up-B or are they putting in items from sonics games aswell.

BTW: Snorlax confirmed

Updated w/ Sonic

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1484 on:** October 10, 2007, 05:54:05 AM »

Definitely looked like his Up+B to me...A spring would be sort of an odd and redundant item to include...

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1485 on:** October 10, 2007, 05:55:03 AM »

Nice. Sonic and Mario right in the middle is fitting.

Also, did anyone else notice that one of Sonic's primary moves is one from Secret Rings? It's the one which causes him to fly straight downward. That was the SR stopping move, and considering how fast he looks, it'll be handy for Brawl.

Also, they seem to be showcasing the hell out of the 3rd party characters right now.

Is there a 3rd shoe waiting to drop? Megaman, perhaps? Geno?

NinjaWang · « **Reply #1486 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:08:02 AM »

I agree about the spring being redundant but it looks like hes falling on it so I dunno maybe its part of the animation for his up-b but it doesn't make sense for him to do go then up. Maybe its a Down-B to pull out the spring like peach....who knows...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1487 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:08:48 AM »

Well it IS a spring...You'd have to go down on it to produce enough force to be pushed up...

NinjaWang · « **Reply #1488 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:10:53 AM »

Good point...

But i imagine that It'd appear where he was and he just go up kinda like mario's up B from melee, slight pause then up not down...Maybe I've been in the sun too long.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1489 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:15:40 AM »

I'm guessing Up+B as well.

Also, these Up+B moves seem to give a LOT of height. I wonder if that's because there's more gravity now or something...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1490 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:21:53 AM »

Well Sakurai did mention that he wanted to add more aerial combat to the game, so it's probably due to that...

NinjaWang · « **Reply #1491 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:22:56 AM »

Probably also to keep the flying guys balanced.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1492 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:41:49 AM »

It's clear that this SSB is going to play very differently from the previous two.

I only hope I like it, and it would be a godsend if, while playing it, it recalls me to the times of SSB64...

We'll see, though.

And yeah, Sonic was the ONLY other character I really wanted for this game so I suppose I could probably stop checking updates daily now. For me, this was the apex of the SSBB blog.

NinjaWang · « **Reply #1493 on:** October 10, 2007, 07:01:23 AM »

I just can shake this feelings that Brawl is gonna be huge with more and more 3rd party action, We may never get a sequel unless they start working on it as soon as brawl ships and if we do get one how are they gonna top it? Sonic/Snake/whoever become series regulars? Soon it'll be Super Smash Brother: vs The World, with George Bush as a new character. My head is gonna explode thinking about it.

And yet, its the same Sakurai that allowed Mario's neck to be snapped and turned Resetti into an assist trophy...That man just LOVES to play with a fanboy's feelings

Sonic was the last thing I REALLY wanted to see in Brawl.

I'm fond of Little Mac and Olimar and such, but I think I would have been crushingly disappointed if Sonic didn't show up.

I honestly still have a hard time believing it. It was too good to be true and crossed me as one of those decisions which is SO immensely obvious that it would take a company like Sega to f*ck it up.

Adrock · « **Reply #1496 on:** October 10, 2007, 08:16:41 AM »

The only thing really surprising about the update was that they announced Sonic so soon. There's probably a bigger update planned somewhere down the line.

They announced Sonic to distract us from the release date slipping.

Didn't it work? I already didn't care when the game was released, personally. If it launches NEXT Xmas, I'd still be fine because that'd be one more year of polish and balance the game would have and that can only mean good things for everyone.

Adrock · « **Reply #1498 on:** October 10, 2007, 08:33:52 AM »

I suppose since they did announce online multiplayer conveniently the week before Halo 3. Still, I don't think that's Nintendo's style. They delay games ALL the time and never reward fans with anything but a better game in the end which is fine by me.

The latest I'd like to see this game is March 2008. That's ample time for tweaking and balancing. If it kept its original release date, a 2 year development cycle is plenty for a game that borrows so much from its predecessor. For an extra year wait, they'd have to be adding upwards for 10-15 characters and stages, something I don't think would warrant a delay. Not that that would be a significantly bad thing, but sometimes you just have to let things go.... unlike George Lucas who continually butchers the Original Trilogy.

Your mom is the original Smash Mother.
