Topic: SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL - The New Megathread

[Bill Aurion]

Considering the chances of getting an Assist Trophy, and then the chances of getting Midna in said Assist Trophy, I don't think that bridge would be fixed very much... =)

[anubis6789]

All that is moot though since we have no evidence that Midna is the one fixing the bridge.

Actually, there is a little evidence in the fact that she does it in Twilight Princess.  We haven't seen anyone else from any other game going in there and fixing it, so she is the most logical choice at this point.

Or it could just happen randomly as the level progresses.

Katt (StarFox series)
Kumatora (Mother 3)
Jody Summer (F-Zero)

The princess from Galaxy is named Rosetta.

Needs more Dixie Kong...

Considering that in TP Midna only used the portals that were already setup by the bad guys, and they in fact transported the bridge away to begin with, there is little evidence that Midna has to be present for the bridge to drop out of a portal.

So, who else will be playing as Pit just to get his hawt goddess to show up now and then?

I was going to post saying something to this effect, but I was too scared to, But yeah, one more reason why I am probably going to be playing as Pit.

*raises hand*
I'm one of those people.  Though I'm also going to play Samus to see her Zero Suit self in all her glory.

[Smash_Brother]

It seems like they're adding a healthy dose of sex appeal to SSBB.

I mean, making Samus turn into Z-Suit Samus seems unnecessary, especially since you won't even be playing as her without the final smash (unless there is another way to play as her).

That, and now Palutena. Compare her original design to the new one (on that same page). She was pretty conservative where as the new version is showing a thigh-high stocking and a substantial amount of leg.

[anubis6789]

Well, I believe that there probably will be a trick to start out as ZSS just like there was a way to start out as Sheik in SSBM.

[Kairon]

S_B, Smash Bros. already had a lot of latent bubbling sexuality: upskirts of Peach and Zelda, and Daisy's third eye!

[Ceric]

I'm not to fond of Pits Final Smash.  Personally I'm sitting there wondering why all these bow equiped military men are charging instead of shooting arrows or using something like a sword.  Another thing is that its cool that Pits goddess shows up and the like I personally rather see Pit go and rally his men in addition.  I'll have to see it in motion but, the concept just sounds a little off to me.

[Mashiro]

It's also kind of unfair to compare a characters cartoony design from 20 years ago to a new design today. It'd be like having Super Mario Bros. as the only Mario game and then suddenly Strikers comes out and claiming that "wow strikers is going for a lot more sex appeal! look at peaches design".

An upskirt shot with tights isn't in the same league as the side of a woman's bare buttock, which is what Pal is showing here.

In fact, I think it's safe to say that this will be the first time such a thing has appeared in a Nintendo-made game. The picture might be a little deceiving, as it might only flash her thigh for a moment in motion, but still, this is the raciest a Nintendo game has ever gotten to the best of my knowledge.

Strikers' designs were already in place in a previous game, and we've never seen Peach's bare behind (or even a side profile of it).

Considering that SSBB didn't NEED either Pal in her stockings or Z-Suit Samus in her skin-tight glory, all I'm saying is this is clearly intentional on Nintendo's part. They're probably aiming for an older audience.

Anyone want to start a betting pool that Z-Suit Samus will be on the cover of Brawl?

[Adrock]

Aww nartz, this kind of puts a damper on Palutena as playable. There might still be a chance, though it just seems extremely unlikely now. Sigh...

I already had the hots for Pit, but this is definitely the icing on the cake...

(I can't believe such a great character model will only appear every once in a while...Please, oh please, Ninty, use the model in an all-new Kid Icarus...)

You mean Melee?

Honestly I don't think a special showing off Pal's ass somewhat and Zero suit Samus means massive sex appeal being put into the game to appeal to a wider audience. Furthermore Zero suit Samus isn't all that "sexy" of a character IMHO.

[Kairon]

OMG! Mario with (divine) Hookers is coming true! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[Adrock]

Palutena probably doesn't move too much. I don't think Nintendo is deliberately going for more sex appeal though the goddess statues in Twilight Princess were pretty large chested. Brawl will likely be a Teen rated game, but I highly doubt it'll be pushing that rating.

[Kairon]

The Goddess Statues in TP were large and BARE chested.

I think that Nintendo's internal art style is simply coming to reflect the more exposed accepted image-culture we have today, where even young girls can idolize Britney Spears and Xtina the like.

Ironically, this may be a way of keeping up with their main audience: the kids.

No, I meant Brawl. SSBB will still sell 6 million+ copies with or without Z-Suit Samus or any other sex appeal. I'm just saying that it's clear they went out of their way to add it.

I didn't say it was "massive", but it certainly is far, FAR more than what we've seen in any past Nintendo game, really. That's largely in comparison to the vacuum of sex appeal in previous games. I mean, the original SSB had absolutely none (unless you count Link's prettiness). SSBM didn't have any overt sex appeal, but Brawl certainly does.

And the rest of the internet pretty much disagrees with you about ZSSamus.  

[Bill Aurion]

It's a stylistic choice...I hardly think Ninty is thinking of "sexing up" the game through the semi-rare appearance of a Final Smash...

[Kairon]

That's the internet for you.
