Super Smash Brothers: BRAWL

[Ruki]

I have a few characters I want to try out (Snake, Sonic, Pokemon Trainer, Metaknight, Lucario and Dedede)...but my two choices will always be Jigglypuff and Pikachu.

The only problem I have with the game is a lack of more unique characters (not clones) and villains. I wish King K. Rool and Ridley (just shrink him down and modify just like Bowser fits in perfectly fine) could have been in.

But it should be fun to get when it arrives.

Wolf - To unlock Wolf, go to the stage "Ruins". Part-way through the level, you'll get to a flat platform that lowers you down a huge pit, and while being lowered down, there are large crystal spikes on the walls that will come out at you... On the way down, you'll see a door, skip that door, and stay on that platform until it disappears. At the bottom of the pit is another door. Go in that one, and there will be a Wolf cutscene.

As far as Final Smashes go

Mario: Pretty basic attack, not a lot of damage, but it did send him flying. I approve.

Yoshi: Interesting, looks like it might be hard to control. But not bad overall.

Peach: Decent damage, the health bonus is a plus....and they stay asleep for a good time. This combined with the homerun bat would be BRUTAL.

Bowser: Gigabowser....wasn't scary in Melee, not here either. Sure, your attacks will be more powerful, and you can send people flying....but you are a bigger target, and it looks like you can only get a few moves off.

DK: Wow....even worse that Bowsers. in a small stage it could be useful, but it levels like Pork City, this will be useless.

Diddy: If the video is anything to go by, it'll be hard to control. That is all.

Wario: So he gets stronger and faster? That it? Ok...

Pikachu: Doesn't look overly power, but wow...that moves fast....good luck mastering that one!

Pokemon Trainer: I think Pikachu was a bit close for that one to be effective. In multiman brawls, that should be a pretty good attack.

Pit: A pretty good attack, will work awesomely in small stages with a few people.

Samus: That attack will fuck you up. I like it. Good damage, and it'll blast you. And the Zero Suit one isn't bad.

Kirby: The damage isn't amazing, but you usually get items with it. So decent pay off.

Metaknight: Nothing overly flashy, but good damage. Would be better if it sent people flying.

Dedede: Wow, that fucks shit up. Very good damage, would work well in a multiman brawl, and kicks ass one on one.

Link/Toon Link: Wow, the damage is amazing, and it seems like an auto-KO....jsut gotta make sure it hits.

Zelda/Shiek: decent damage, and sends people flying. Good attack.

Fox/Falco: Not a fan...the shot seems to be easily avoidable if you duck.

Ice Climbers: Wow, that attack is deadly. The damage is insane. Multiman fights on a smaller stage, that will fuck people up.

Olmar: Good damage, and if you land on them, sends them flying...awesome.

Ike: Good damage, not much else.

Lucas/Ness: Well...if you miss, it is pretty useless. Damage isn't great, only seems worth it in multiman fights.

Luigi: I still don't know what the fuck is going on.

Falcon: Not a bad attack, at least it sends people flying.

Snake: Would be awesome if you got good aim.

Rob: Ummm.....It's...ok?

Sonic: Like Pikachu, but better damage.

Game & Watch: What the hell? It....looks ok.

Lucario: Looks like it could be easily avoided. Damage isn't that cool.

Jigglypuff: So....you get big and knocked everyone off the stage with no damage? Shit...

Ganon: Short, sweet, to the point, good attack.

Marth: I didn't understand the little bar thing...looked like a decent attack.

Wolf: DO WE NEED 3 FUCKING TANKS!?

[DoubleX]

Pikachu, Ganondorf, Sonic and Marth have brutality Final Smashes. Ganondorf and Marth's are just insane.

[abundant]

DK: You have to time your button presses to the beat. If you do this successfully, it consumes the whole stage. Fail and it barely covers anything (As seen in the video)

Kirby: This is the best FS by far because you attack everyone and you can activate it anywhere, so when your opponents have low damage percent, start the FS in the air to guarantee three KOs.

Luigi: Anyone caught in his acid trip bubble get dazed and confused, as well as take on damage for every second in it.

Marth: His FS is a killing blow from Fire Emblem, hence the Life Bars. They're just there for show.

[abundant]

Now it looks like you can unlock everyone through SSE. As previously stated, 11 out of the 14 secret characters are unlocked by playing SSE all the way through. You'll unlock Sonic prior to the last boss. In order of unlocking: Marth -> Falco -> Captain Falcon -> Lucario -> Snake -> Mr. Game and Watch -> R.O.B -> Luigi -> Ness -> Ganondorf -> Sonic.

Wolf, Toon Link, and Jigglypuff are hidden in three stages. Once you find them, you get an introductory cutscene, then fight them. If you beat them, they're added to your party and can be used when revisiting SSE, and if you haven't unlocked them already, they will be. Wolf's location is posted above and here's Jigglypuff (at 3:55).

[NobBe Nobbs]

Dedede: Wow, that fucks shit up. Very good damage, would work well in a multiman brawl, and kicks ass one on one.

[abundant]

He is playable from the start. Everyone, except Snake and Sonic, that was shown on the DOJO will be playable from the start.

Yeah, some new Smash news! Click Here to find out if a Gamestop near you will be holding a tournament on the 8th. Winners get a free copy of Brawl and advance to a district final, then to a regional final, and finally a national final. Chances are, if you live in a moderately big town in America, your Gamestop will be holding a tournament. (I live in Albuquerque, NM and every Gamestop in town will be holding the tournament .)

I've been in two smash tournys, and both times, I have been knocked out first round. yay for not having to embarasse myself since there is no such thing as Gamestop in Canada.

Fucking hell!

I'm in Edmonton

yeah, I'm in Ottawa, I would go to montreal, but doesnt seem worth it, maybe if i end up being really good at it.

After reading the rules, both tournaments suck. The American tournament will comprise of 1 minute, 1v1 matches with a 32 people cap and will only use the Wiimote + Nunchuck, the Canadian tournament will be comprised of FFA with characters chosen at random.

... holy shit, that is TERRIBLE. *One minute?!* And with a thirty-two person cap? So now my options are pretty much to either go to the Gamestop in Southcenter where thirty-two people most likely won't show up, which is near-impossible given how middle-of-nowhere it is, or try and go to one of the downtown ones which will most likely be maxed out really quickly.

Only just caught this video today... honestly, I think had HAL done this, SSBB would truly have one of the greatest fighting rosters ever:

Seriously... that just shocked the crap out of my when it happened. If only this actually happened in the game

[Ruki]

That would have been fucking awesome!

[GoGo Yubari]

See, if there were any Phoenix Wright character I'd want in the game, it'd probably be Franziska. She already has a weapon that could be translated into the game's powerset easily, after all.
