In hindsight, it could be bullsh*t, but I think the plan was to avoid all of the fuss people were making over them before Melee came out.

I wouldn't mind if they stayed secret, but the truth is, it would be better for me to learn about a disappointing secret character lineup online (like I did for Melee) than to learn about it as I unlock them.

Even I wouldn't want to be in the room when I unlocked a terrible character...

When the first Smash Bros came out, the 4 secret characters were profiled in Nintendo Power a couple weeks beforehand, I believe.

Not too relevant, I know. But man, that picture of Luigi had a giant head.

I'd really like to know whether or not the SSBB site is going to spoilerize its own game. The excitement felt when you unexpectedly unlock a character and have no idea who it is going to be...
It's like Christmas morning when you are 8 rolled up into 3 seconds of mind orgasm.

So if anyone can get a link and can confirm or somehow disprove it, that'd be mighty fine.

Anyone else notice that the Bridge of Eldan stage looks like Cammy's stage from Super Street Fighter 2?

You jest...

Mikintosh · « **Reply #805 on:** July 08, 2007, 03:50:48 PM »

What? I see the resemblance, time of day excluded.

LuigiHann · « **Reply #806 on:** July 08, 2007, 04:15:06 PM »

Yeah, I think it's a fair comparison.

I wonder how Smash Bros will play on a totally flat, almost Street-Fighter-like level. Should be interesting.

Mashiro · « **Reply #807 on:** July 08, 2007, 04:19:10 PM »

There's already a stage that is just flat in SSBM that has no changes to the stage except for the background. I forgot the name of it but you fight Giga Bowser on it.

Shecky · « **Reply #808 on:** July 08, 2007, 04:27:36 PM »

Final Destination...

You might as well say that any stage that had a bridge was similar if your going to claim that level bears resemblance... Not that I care either way, I guess I just don't see it

LuigiHann · « **Reply #809 on:** July 08, 2007, 04:30:35 PM »

Oh, that's right.

I guess because Final Destination was so round, it didn't look flat the way this one does.

And Shecky, don't forget that not only is this a stone bridge, it's also near a castle. :p It's a mildly interesting coincidence.

Shecky · « **Reply #810 on:** July 08, 2007, 04:34:43 PM »

That blue thing is a castle?

[I guess I'm seeing it a bit... maybe]

Also, Final Destination "floated" meaning you had edges to worry about. The bridge goes completely off screen so it does change up strategy a bit....

Mashiro · « **Reply #811 on:** July 08, 2007, 05:12:41 PM »

Good point about final destination and having the edges.

The ends of the stage will probably act Similar to that of "Mushroom Kingdom II" (The Super Mario Bros. 2 stage in Melee).

Thanks for reminding me of Final Destinations name btw, can't believe I forgot its name. It was my favorite stage for intense 1v1 matches. God I can't wait for Brawl =D

LuigiHann · « **Reply #812 on:** July 08, 2007, 05:59:11 PM »

Err.. the blue thing is a house. The big brown thing on the left is a castle. Or maybe a cathedral. I agree the resemblance still isn't that great.

Interesting that this version of the Eldin Bridge doesn't have the uhh... "railings" or whatever that the original did. I guess that would make the scale issues a lot more obvious.

So it looks like it in that... It's a bridge?

LuigiHann · « **Reply #814 on:** July 08, 2007, 07:41:19 PM »

And a castle!

Is the castle, like, invisible to everyone but me?

Adrock · « **Reply #815 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:22:48 PM »

Hmm, the latest update pales in comparison to last week's onslaught of awesome. Holding down the attack button to "automatically" to do consecutive attacks could potentially be cheaper than the C-stick Smash. I don't want to trash it before I try the game and the "each character will have variations" comment is comforting. However, I'm a bit apprehensive about the whole thing. I guess it depends on how long you hold down the attack button.

I hope tomorrow's update is better. We'll probably get a new trailer this week because of the E3 press conference.

Kairon · « **Reply #816 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:30:55 PM »

Dude. That is cool. Wicked Cool. Like FIRE!!!

I mean, check it out:

Hold down the button and not hitting enemy = repeated first stage basic attack (repeated jabs)

hold down the button and hitting enemy = progressive stages of combo (jab, then kick, then whatever)

repeatedly tapping the button and regardless of whether you're hitting the enemy or not = progressive stages of combo (jab, then kick, then whatever)

Sarail · « **Reply #817 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:33:58 PM »

This might make it easier for new Smash fans... possibly.

Mashiro · « **Reply #818 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:35:31 PM »

I dislike the hold the button down to attack repeatedly thing . . . oh well.

Kairon · « **Reply #819 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:37:55 PM »

Why? All it means is that you can put up a defensive wall akin to chun-li's thousand kicks o' death thingie a little easier.

Mikintosh · « **Reply #820 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:43:55 PM »

yeah, and it's not like it'll matter during a tough battle anyway; it presumeably can get interrupted as easily as when you repeatedly press A in the same context. and don't the Monday updates always suck?

Mashiro · « **Reply #821 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:47:04 PM »

I dunno I hate automated fighting controls, but that's just me.

Strell · « **Reply #822 on:** July 08, 2007, 08:57:16 PM »

Sakurai on MetaKnight> This guy needs to calm down.

I love this man. He's hilarious. Almost as amusing as Miyamoto. They should let this guy out in the public and see what in the hell he does. I bet he's damn sure been locked up in a developer studio for several months, I can only imagine the insane sh*t he might do when unleashed.

WalkingTheCow · « **Reply #823 on:** July 08, 2007, 10:07:38 PM »

Not really a big change at all. Just hold instead of rapid tap. . . it makes enough sense to me. Not that it has me excited though.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #824 on:** July 08, 2007, 11:54:54 PM »

This is kind of like being able to use the C-Stick to smash, it's there for ease of use, but not imperative to use. I think I'll stick to tapping the button because I too hate automated fighting controls, it really just makes me feel like I have less control of my character.
