GP and I agree on something Smash related!

Truly this is a wonderful update <3

(On somewhat of a downer, does this mean there is no chance Palutena is a playable character?)

I'd be willing to bet she has no chance of being playable at this point.

I would say there is no chance of that. They better have Daisy in it though! We need more girls in it besides Zelda and Samus that aren't prissy Peachs. What I like about this special is that it appears while it will give you a definite advantage it doesn't mean automatic knockout either because you may be able to skillfully dodge the Centurions.

I concur... this game needs Lash:

Mashiro · « **Reply #2104 on:** August 08, 2007, 08:14:27 PM »

Tomboy-ish female warriors are welcome.

I like how Palutena's army is composed of cartoony characters. They remind a bit of Popeye

.

Speaking of Final Smashes I'm willing to bet anything that the minute Brawl is released there will be some people that will say that the final smashes are very cheap and thus the game is very unbalanced.

It happened to Strikers...

Nah, something that can only be used once per match won't be considered unbalanced.

Edit: Also Strikers =/= Brawl in any way shape or form

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #2107 on:** August 08, 2007, 09:26:06 PM »

I mentioned Strikers because I know someone that believes the game is unbalanced because of the megastrikes, even though they are very hard to do during a heated match against skilled players.

Even with the rules established I'm sure someone will play Brawl, get pwned by a final smash and whine about it.

Well maybe but in any case those people will be happy that they can switch items off.

Edit: I mean once per match won't even off set things enough to really make a difference. Yeah they are gonna be awesome flashy moves and add something nice and new to the gameplay but it won't be like "zomg he keeps doing the super charged attack in Strikers AIYEEE!"

Yay, got one on the dot for once... =D

But...This confirms no playable Palutena...

Is the last pick of this update depicting Ike blocking a Centurion or engaging/disengaging eruption, or is it just hit stun? If he is in fact blocking where is the bubble shield?

We really do not know how the FSA and the Smash Ball work, the wording in that update is probably the most vague of all the updates so far.

I think that tonights update will most likely be a "how to play", maybe on shielding, or a Pokemon/Assist Trophy update.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #2111 on:** August 09, 2007, 02:47:11 AM »

I think we have seen enough to see that Final Smashes definitely have a tier about them, depending on what type of character they are.

Pit's final Smash is cool, but it looks like it may be weaker than some of the other ones...like say Giga-Bowser, or even Mario's Final Smash.

As for female characters Nintendo can put into Brawl. We have made this list several times.

1)Jill She would be a great heavier female character with her mech and all.
2)Fire Emblem girl: Light weight sword fighter with magic...would love to have some sort of healing attack for new variety.
3)Daisy: Tomboy Princess that kicks butt
4)Wendy the Koopa: Not likely, but she could represent.
5)Birdo: Most likely a costume switch for Yoshi.
6)Any female from Advanced Wars would be good.
7)Krystal from Star Fox

6)Any female from Advanced Wars would be good, most likely Sami
7)Krystal from Star Fox
8)Lip (Panel de Pon)

Fixed for various reasons...

(I see the Koopa Kids MAYBE making an appearance as an Assist Trophy at most...)

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #2113 on:** August 09, 2007, 04:00:13 AM »

Sami would be great...she is easily the most recognizable female from the series.

Paula would work. I forgot to put her on there, and then saw it mentioned by others, so I figured I would leave it be.

Midna: I may be the only one, but I really do not want a Wolf Link in the game at all. That leaves her in her imp form alone or as the full restored "Princess" version of the Twilight Princess. Either of those could work well...but my favorite idea would be to replace Sheik with a turning into the Twilight Princess and Zelda, but they are the two Princesses in the two realms, but I don't think that idea would work well.

I don't know Lip very well, but I do agree that the Koopa kids make better Assist trophies, specially if one of them can turn players into an animal temporarily.

As for the rest of my list, you could of just added on to it...and not taken away. There is nothing wrong with Daisy.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #2114 on:** August 09, 2007, 04:43:34 AM »

What's wrong with Daisy is that she will be a skin for Peach. Otherwise, Peach has no alternate versions. I would also like to include that new princess from Super Mario Galaxy as another skin for her, but we have no idea who she is or how she acts.

anubis6789 · « **Reply #2115 on:** August 09, 2007, 05:00:02 AM »

Some more female character ideas:

Captain Syrup (Wario Land 1 & 2)
Princess Shokora (Wario Land 4)
Mona (Warioware series)
Katt (StarFox series)
Kumatora (Mother 3)
Jody Summer (F-Zero)

The princess from Galaxy is named Rosetta.

I'm wondering the same thing. That looks a lot more like a block than anything else. Also, in the original trailer, Pit is shown blocking with his sword. Other things in that video have turned out to be real gameplay features, so maybe the bubble shield is no more.

Or maybe Ike is so badass that even when getting hit hard, it doesn't look like he was hit.

Ah thanks, I now vaguely remember that name during E3. We still don't know her personality though. It would suck if she becomes something completely different than a Peach clone but used as such in Brawl.

Well, that may be some form of guarding or Pit may have a parry type attack, but I think that scene may be more for dramatic effect, but what did catch my eye after rewatching the first trailer just now is when Metaknight wraps his cape around himself to block Pit's arrow, maybe that is not a special move as most, including myself, first thought.

I thought Midna would make a cool character too but that was until she showed up above The Bridge of Eldin doing construction work. That puts her in the no way she can be playback maybe as an assist trophy category.

hell i wouldn't even want her to be an assist trophy knowing that she's already in the background of a stage! why you ask? well that would mean they axed another, more obscure, character from being an assist trophy in favor of one that's model is already in the game. That to me equals lazy! this game looks so polished already that i'd hate for there to be any signs of laziness.

besides most of us accepted or at least hypothesised that no characters shown in the Smashville stage would be playable, why should Midna be any different?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2121 on:** August 09, 2007, 05:34:03 AM »

Wait, they showed her in screens!? I do not recall such a thing!

*runs off to check Eldin update*

...

*comes running back*

*shoves screens in EasyCure's face*

She is NOT in these screens!

I looked at all the media of Eldin Bridge and I cannot see any sign of Midna being anywhere, but maybe I am missing something.

I think he just saw the portal and assumed Midna was the one opening it...

If anything this proves she's a character, because she is the one to open the portal and fix the bridge in TP, yet she's not shown in these screens...

Or she's an assist trophy that shows up to fix the bridge after it breaks.
