"Enjoy the view!"

I'm glad to see that DBZ, magical girls, and Link's Rendition of A Karate Kid is all represented in this update.

i liked links melee taunt, it was so posh “tsk, i can‘t be bothered to lift a finger on such a loser”

gotta love beating up the handicapped

Gylldas · « **Reply #2329 on:** November 13, 2007, 06:26:58 PM »

Well at least this isn't something we knew from E for All.

At least I think so...

nickmitch · « **Reply #2330 on:** November 13, 2007, 06:47:33 PM »

Weak update.

Interesting update I guee, but I think I'm going to finally but briefly join the chorus people who just want a character update already. For some reason, the world is lopsided until I know Captain Falcon's back, even with the revelation of the fascinating handicap option which I'd never use 'cause I don't want the game condescending to me, or whatever.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #2333 on:** November 13, 2007, 09:21:34 PM »

Think of all the characters they could be adding and balancing with the resources they're wasting on online. Mull over it for a while, see how it tastes.

Don't worry... in the worst case, you'll just be wishing in vain for a new character over the 3 additional months they delayed this game to add online. That's not so bad, right?

Shecky · « **Reply #2334 on:** November 14, 2007, 12:23:34 AM »

Curious how well the new handicap will work as beginners I've seen play usually have difficulty connecting with attacks. A pro would be able to avoid a majority of attacks.

Also, I don't know if people are still whining ... err worried about the item switch. This update shows it.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #2335 on:** November 14, 2007, 03:18:11 AM »

When are we going to get a useful update? This stuff isn't revealing anything interesting about the game. We already knew about multiple taunts and the handicap stuff is obvious and pretty worthless on the whole.

LuigiHann · « **Reply #2336 on:** November 14, 2007, 03:47:17 AM »

It's a blog. Sakurai's blog has more "useful" updates than most blogs.

nickmitch · « **Reply #2337 on:** November 14, 2007, 04:27:21 AM »

Yeah, but we're sort of spoiled on the useful updates. There have been many in the past and there really hasn't been one in a while. The handicap change was certainly not a big deal, and the 3 updates before that were of information we already had. Lucas's move set caused some controversy as far as Ness's existence, but aside from that, the best update we've gotten in the past 3 weeks was the stage builder. Although that was a big one, there's still no information on the things that we actually WANT to know. Instead, we've mostly been getting things that we alreadydo know.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #2338 on:** November 14, 2007, 04:29:24 AM »

I like this a lot better than the old handicap method. The old method was cheap and frustrating, but this way it essentially spots the newbie a few hits.

If they hadn't made all these new stages they could have REALLY added a lot more characters!

vudu · « **Reply #2340 on:** November 14, 2007, 06:28:17 AM »

I wonder what happens when you pick up food/health items. Can your damage meter decrease below your handicapped starting point?

Tastes just fine, considering I'd probably play SSBB offline for about a week before I mastered a character, no one would want to play with me and the game would be assigned to dust collecting duty on the shelf.

IceCold · « **Reply #2342 on:** November 14, 2007, 08:20:20 AM »

Is that a challenge?

Also, the updates are slow because the game was delayed, like Luigi Dude said previously. Plus we have so many great games coming out that we don't need any Megaton Smash Bros announcements to keep us going. It's like their hype system with VC games.

Of course.

One of the reasons I'm psyched for online is because I'm curious to see if I'm decent at SSB or if I suck and all the people I've played against just happen to suck harder.

I'd love nothing more than to find players better than me and study at their feet until I can match them.

I only got as decent as I did because I had some excellent sparing partners, including my brother and two friends and all of them have moved away from me over time. I miss those matches: we'd fire up a game, 3 stock, and any of the four players could win. The fact that you never knew who it would be made it that much more fun and exciting.

In my case, I just suck, period.

In all seriousness, the reason I never developed my skills is because I never had anyone to spar against, just the computer. Online should help me pick up on my competitive skills.

IceCold · « **Reply #2345 on:** November 14, 2007, 02:03:24 PM »

Don't look to me for a challenge either. I love Smash Bros to death, but I've never been a very competitive player. F-Zero, on the other hand..

Gylldas · « **Reply #2346 on:** November 14, 2007, 06:07:58 PM »

Blah...more drawn out stuff. A re-post explaining Meta Knight's special moves in more detail.

I liked the music though!

nickmitch · « **Reply #2347 on:** November 14, 2007, 06:11:23 PM »

Here's to hoping for a big update tomorrow.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2348 on:** November 14, 2007, 06:11:45 PM »

I

the Halberd theme...One of the few Kirby themes I actually listen to often...

Ceric · « **Reply #2349 on:** November 15, 2007, 12:06:55 AM »

Two words for the Halberd theme:
"Where's Mega?"

Reminds of something from the original Megaman serious. Dimension cape should be a little interesting.
