Smash Bros Brawl Dojo Official Update Thread: Goodbye, Cherry-don

Almost missed the update. I was busy finishing my
Luigi
run in Super Mario Galaxy.

Rather appropriate, then, that the update is Luigi-related.

Still, this one has some of the funniest text in any update in recent memory.

It also looks like a fun stage to brawl on. I look forward to it.

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.
Also note that attacking the pillars actually invokes the stale moves withering effect. So you might not be so quick to attack them

Is this the first time that secret characters (Snake and Sonic excluded, obviously) have appeared in screenshots outside of their own updates? Ness and Luigi are both in this one.

(Yes, this thread has made me care about stuff like this. Way to go, Jiggy. D:)

Haha. Poor luigi. Destroying his mansion!
This looks awesome. Does anything happen to you if you're caught in the room that's collapsing?

The house only rebuilds itself if you break the whole thing by the way. So if you destroy all but one part, it'll stay like that until you break the last part.

-February 18th marks the 190th day of updates, the 39th week, and the 229th update overall. As per usual, the 229 count is going by official separate sections only, so stuff like Luigi's special moves and final smash from last Friday doesn't factor in there.

-If you were to say that Luigi's special moves and final smash didn't count as separate updates for the Mario series, today would have been the day where the series hit 17 updates and caught up to Pokemon. Of course, you'd still have to count Petey Piranha as a Mario update even though it didn't have the symbol. >_>

-grandjedi6 has been 100% dominant in the prediction skills of the Dojo thread lately, correctly predicting Marth back for his update (without even reading the spoilers) and then predicting a stage for tonight.

-Stages hit 28 updates and tie character profiles as the second most common type behind game modes.

-Ness and Luigi both advance from 11 screenshots, surpassing Ivysaur, but Ness only moves to 13 while Luigi moves to 15 and also matches with Sheik.

-Everyone's favorite gorilla reaches 65 screenshots, meeting up with everyone's favorite primate. Saith DK: "My squire, my almost-kin, dearest Diddy. Since the former years when each morning thou awakened and couldst only fairly judge thyself and thy skills by the title 'neophyte,' I have trained thee and thou likewise hath trained thyself. Yet lest thou shouldst become arrogant, today takest heed of a lesson never understood by thee. Thou, having for a day thought thou hadst outpaced my fame among the kingdom, hadst forgotten this key: that e'en when I do fall behind thee by foot I may yet be within reach by arm, for mine arms art of a greater length and, i'sooth, full capable for pursuit when opportune Lady Fortune doth allow. And always, always do I act when in her audience."

Nice to finally see what Luigi's Mansion looks like. Seems pretty interesting.

He hasn't been revealed in the Dojo yet, but there is a certain character I am waiting for and want to know more of.

layzie, not surprising since the game has been out for a couple of weeks in Japan and thus all the info is available (unless there is hidden stuff that hasn't been discovered yet).

Or you might, if you want your attacks to have less knockback so that you can combo more. >_>
I'm guessing this also affects attacks to those breakable parts in Brinstar and Skyworld?

Yes. It's also the first time that more than one secret first-party character has appeared in a screenshot.

Personally, I'm hoping for some new Easter eggs in the vein of Melee Corneria.

I hope that there are new Star Fox team conversations in Lylat Cruise.

This is not a spoilerific confirmation or deconfirmation of it. I honestly don't know.

Maybe we need a secret button code to access the Poke Ball Switch and Assist Trophy Switch where we can go turn off the Nintendog. Or set up an all-Pochama battle. (Playing in the Japanese option* to get Pochama instead of Piplup, of course, only because POCHA POCHAAAAA is infinitely better than anything Piplup's English voice could possibly manage.)



*The English version had better well have a Japanese option even though the Japanese version doesn't have an English option. D:

No, the hypothetical Assist Trophy switch's true purpose is to have nothing but Devils on high frequency.

On Port Town or Rainbow Cruise.

Indeed, it had better.

Is it just me, or was the music for Luigi Circuit (...but I thought it was "Luigi Raceway" in Mario Kart 64) on the Mario Circuit stage not listed there before, similar to Port Town Aero Dive not showing up until the day before that stage update? Maybe it was put up after the Luigi update to avoid giving hints. Or maybe I am hallucinating indeed.

I actually went to see if they'd put Luigi's Mansion in the list, but that one jumped out at me instead.


Edit: Never mind, it was always there.

Jiggy, I have a question about your character screen shot count. Do you count it if a character is off screen? For example, the very first update showed a battle with Link and Mario with Mario off screen (to show how to eliminate someone). Would that count as just Link?

Jiggy you need to make yourself a website of your own and publish all this wokr you've done!

The Dojigg. Get your statistical information from the game of the forever!!
(I'm tired and low on creative juices.)

Luigi's Mansion! Stage looks cool. I love the giant moon in the background. I wish Nintendo would announce a Luigi's Mansion sequel for Wii. :D

So it's pretty much going to be stages and characters from here on out?

Yes, that's just Link. There were also off-screen characters in Co-Op Events, Team Healer, and probably a few others.

Also related to the first update, a screenshot like this counts as one for Mario and one for Link because it's a single file:

basic01_070522c.jpg


But these count as three:

snake_070921j1.jpg
snake_070921j2.jpg
snake_070921j3.jpg


This is only one for Ike because I'm counting screenshots and not number of appearances:

various13_071120d.jpg


In this shot, only Meta Knight gets a point:

various25_080130b.jpg


And in this shot, each of the four Pokemon characters and Zelda's two selves are counted:

various25_080130d.jpg




The only one I might reconsider is that split screenshot scenario. It doesn't seem so major when it's only cutting one point that Mario and Link would otherwise have gotten, but then there are situations like this:

Posts 2,501-4,000 are such a wasteland that I had to quote myself creating a joke moveset for a Metroid in order to prove to el jacko that they couldn't possibly create such a playable character. On the bright side, GaimeGuy had some early hilarity: first he challenged the idea of calling the update Japan Time, then he challenged the idea of quoting the text from the Dojo updates on the premise that it was illegal.


Anyway, predicting the Data section and the music from either Luigi's Mansion or (preferably) Port Town Aero Dive.

It's been interesting in my part to flag the first point that sparked all the fun discussions down the line... Also Zeed (or Zyid back then) damn loved banbets... haha.

Oh, and I also got blinded by revisiting "Cho Aniki" *shudder*. [10 pages to go]

Lets get some MUUUUSIC.

The lack of confirmation for playable Nana in the lead is filling me with dread, considering that Zero Suit Samus got her info... D:

On the bright side, a good day for screenshot counts.
