PLEASE KEEP DISCUSSION TO THE CURRENT SMASHDATE OR SPECULATION ABOUT FUTURE SMASHDATES!
(That means keep your garbage, off-topic rants about Yoshi's tail being too short or Samus' breasts being too big out, thanks...)

Original topic can be found here...

And if there's anything I'm missing, please feel free to PM me or leave a reply in the topic... =)                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

[Bill Aurion]

A continuation of this thread because it broke...

[Pale]

Thanks ^^

[GoldenPhoenix]

I'm the THIRD reply!

[that Baby guy]

So now that we're nearing the game's release, does anyone think it's possible for information on the starting roster to be an update?

[Bill Aurion]

Sure, why not? =)

I've gone and made headers for the list, which makes things a lot easier to find...

[bigbang24]

hey bill you forgot to add snakes final smash!

[nickmitch]

And so ends the tale of the original Smashdate thread, the most mega of all mega threads.

[stevey]

boo!!!!

Ah crap, when the thread broke it must not have been taking my edits...Well it's fixed now!

[LuigiHann]

You list the banana peel as a Mario Kart item, and while I agree that it ought to be, it's worth noting that Sakurai seems to have intended it as a generic item inspired by slapstick comedy:
a) While Mario Circuit stage uses the Mario mushroom icon, the Banana Peel item uses the generic Smash Bros icon.
b) Sakurai's description of the Banana Peel makes no mention of Mario Kart, while most item descriptions mention the game their from.
c) The Smash Bros item doesn't have eyes, while the Mario Kart version almost always does.

[IceCold]

Damn, if we had kept just one Smash Bros thread, dating back to the old old one (before wandering's even), we'd have easily hit a NWR record 10,000 replies.

[Smash_Brother]

I didn't even realize Bill was updating the first post, oops...

[decoyman]

Bill's constant updating was my lifeline to the updates. Bill, you are appreciated!

P.S. - Can't wait to try out Olimar. But... where's our Pikmin Thwii announcement?

[stevey]

Bill you should add the Pikmin stage to the list.

[Smash_Brother]

That's the DK Jungle beat stage.

[NWR_pap64]

That's not the Pikmin stage, that's Rumble falls. Notice the green vines in the background.

EDIT: S_B beat me to it

Yeah, I realized this a while back, but it just seems so wrong for it to be generic, so denial GET!

I guess I'll change it then...

[Bill Aurion]

In the latest demo playing at the World Hobby Fairy, 16 characters are playable, including Pokemon Trainer (whose name is shortened to "P.Trainer") and King Dedede (shortened to "Dedede")...

Zelda is obviously not included, with the others missing being Olimar, Snake, Sonic, Lucas, Pit, and Ice Climbers...  

~ Smash Balls can be turned off in the Item Select (not a huge surprise)
~ New Pokemon: Shaymin
~ Pokemon Trainer doesn't appear in the background of some stages (like Delfino)...
~ New Assist Trophy: Muddy Mole

[that Baby guy]

Wario and Kirby were added, as well.  It's not certain if this is a demo or the final version, but the internet is buzzing on it likely being a demo.

[MysticGohan]

Where's Ganony!? We can't have a brawl without the more than often misunderstood king of evil..... Ganondorf!

[Smash_Brother]

Muddy Mole AT, WOOT!

With him and Tingle as ATs and Petey Piranha as a boss, there's three characters off the list of potentially playable which I was horrified might show up as playable.

[NWR_pap64]

And Birdo! Don't forget Birdo! Oh and Waluigi too.

But seriously, what's your beef with him? I checked his info and the worst I thought of him was that he would've been a Bomberman clone.

His game was released in the US too.

Even if his game is EXTREMELY obscure I would've welcomed his addition because he would've been interesting.

But he's an AT so there's no point in arguing.

What?  Muddy Moles chances of ever being playable were exactly .00000000001%.  He's from a very obscure game that bombed in every single country it was released.  Not to mention nobody at Nintendo has ever even recognized it's existence.  Just the fact they made him an Assist Trophy is a miracle.

[NWR_pap64]

Here's a crapload of new info from the World Hobby Fair demo:
# Link tried to FS an opponent who had a Starman and it failed. One time during Kirby's FS, Starmen were launched from the pot. The enemies used the Starmen and ended up KO'ing Kirby.

# Waddle Dees are better than turnips in terms of knockback and damage. Dedede's Suction spits out fast, but not very far and has low damage.

# Samus cannot missle cancel. Peach can float cancel.

# More reports of Dedede being very slow with fast atacks, but a conflicting report of his Waddle Dees being useful and spammable.

# More PT Impressions: Charizard's has multiple jumps and his Fly is powerful. He flies straight up and burns anything around him. His flamethrower is identical to Bowser's Fire Breath. Squirtle's Water Gun is chargable. Ivysaur is immobile while using Bullet Seed. PT's FInal Smash is very powerful.

# The PictoChat stage sometimes has impenetrable walls and can trap you on a side of the stage.

# DK's Final Smash used correctly can take up 90% of a stage. His FS was originally thought to be ineffective.

# Some people worry that the Smash Ball occurs too much.

# Rumors of Black Charizard. Some suggest a very dark Chrarizard that is near-black.

# PT Impressions: Squirtle has fast attacks, but no reach. Ivysaur is the more balanced of the Pokemon. Charizard is heavy, slow-medium speed, and attacks using claws and tail mostly.

# Pokemon trainer's starting Pokemon is random. So far, it's unconfirmed if the starter can be selectable like Shiek was for Zelda in Melee.

# Dragoon does 42% damage. It KO'd Mario at 0%.

# Lots of Invincibility frames when switching Pokemon.

# Dedede's Suction is beastly because of it's force and strength.

# Ike is being called a noob killer. His Side Special charged can KO Kirby and Meta Knight at 35%. He is being called "too powerful".

# Meta Knight is a good beginner character.

# Ike Impressions: Eruption has a lot of range and can be used in the air. His Final Smash has more range if you "charge it up"?

# Ashley Deconfirmed! She appears in the WarioWare stage. So does 9-Volt and Jimmy.
# Kirby Impressions: Final Cutter has been changed once again. More confirmation of Kirby sucking up items.

# Attendee's Opinion: Pictochat music was bothering.

# Dedede Impressions: Attacks are fast, but hammer is sluggish. As stated before, his Up SPecial has good knockback, but is completely vertical, like Ike's.

# Pokemon Trainer Impressions: Takes about three seconds to change Pokemon. Colors: Red, Green, Blue, and Black & White (original GB version). PT's Pokemon do not have accessories like hats, glasses, ect.

# First reports of an attendee: He writes about Samus, but adds nothing new to what we already knew. You can't turn into ZSamus at the start of the match at all.

# Now that the event is over, expect lots of media, and some new info to be posted from attendees.

# We have the Stage Select Screen image posted on the homepage.

# Conflicting News: Apparently, a Nintendo rep has confirmed that Brawl is coming out on the 24th in Japan, however the Brawl pamphlets handed out show the price of the game, but no release date. (According to the Japanese blog, this seems to frighten him, but I doubt it means a thing.)

# Muddy Mole is an assist trophy. (Not Monty Mole) Muddy Mole is a character from "Mole Mania", a GB game that Sakurai adores.

# People are under the impression that Meta Knight is very good and Dedede is not. (This is only first impressions that are hours old and opinions, keep in mind)

# King Dedede has the same voice as his anime counterpart. (Japanese voice. Not 4kids voice)

# 70-80 minute wait to play a match.

# UPDATE: Female Pokemon Trainer news is confirmed FALSE.

# Ike Victory Pose: "I only fight for those I protect" (May be off due to translation issues)

# Onett impressions: Virtually no changes made.

# PictoChat impressions: Some are negative, some are "better than expected."

# PLAYABLE STAGES:Battlefield, Battleship Halbred, Norfair, Hyrule Temple, Onett, WarioWare, PictoChat, Bridge of Eldin, Delfino Plaza, Yoshi's Island, Smashville, Castle Seige, Pokemon Stadium 2, Skyworld, Lylat Cruise

# Dragoon was seen as an item. There are also a few new items such as a time bomb and spike bomb.

# Classic Controller and Wiimote are available controller choices.

# Meta Knight: No strong attacks. He's the kind of character that relies on multiple hits. FS is very strong and has a wide hitbox. Not much use for gliding. Taunt: Flaps his wings and does a "warp" or some sort.

# Diddy Kong: He's very fast and can "put hurt on you." He has combo attacks, similar to Meta Knight.

# NO MORE DELAYS: According to someone to who asked a Nintendo rep there: Brawl is confirmed to be released on the 24th. (Japan)

# Pokemon Trainer disappears on certain stages. He was not present on Delfino Plaza.

# New Pokemon: Shaymin
