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

Basically, as it stands now, my most used characters will be the following:

Ness: He will be in it. If Sakurai brought the Ice Climbers back (don't get me wrong, I LIKE the Ice Climbers), Ness will also return.

Kirby: He's traditionally been my secondary, right behind Ness. Well, Melee cruelly gimped him but hopefully Brawl will balance the pink puff.

Meta-Knight: He looks like a really good character. Imagine, a swordsman I actually like to use.

Lucas: Because he's freaking Lucas.

Sonic: Again, he looks like a high-tier character.

They just need to stop and breath before they release the console Sonic games. The handheld ones have been fine. 3D Sonic is just an incredibly tricky problem that SEGA has had absolutely no incentive to try to solve, given sales up til now.

Isn't Sega's current attitude that Sonic is just for kids? May be once they realize the franchise actually appeals to a wider audience, then they will put forth better effort.

The degree of polish that Nintendo seems to have laid on Sonic in Smash probably exceeds any recent Sega's offering.

The first song in the video is the SSBB theme, the second one is the theme from Melee, which is playable at the bottom of the page he linked you to.

No, that was the attitude of someone who is no longer with SEGA. I think he took a job with Sony, actually.

I don't think Sonic Team makes bad games on purpose, but if they keep selling the way they did up until this gen, why would they change? For critical approval? That and a buck get Iizuka a cup of coffee. The greatest incentive SEGA will have to change 3D Sonic is the games selling like crap. Which, finally, they have.

F that, gimme some game vids. These montage trailers are driving me nuts with their 2-second gameplay clips. It's impossible to get a feel for how the game plays like that.

That's nice to hear. Let's then hope for the best for the next Sonic game.

The only blemish is that they used Live and Learn instead of Open your Heart. It is cool, but not as cool as the SA theme.

Also, tainted by Shadow. bleargh.

Too bad they didn't honour Crash Bandicoot with an invite. We could have recreated the 16bit and 32bit wars.

Snake is essentially a PlayStation character. This game needs more Megaman.

Thur: Sonic's stage/music
Fri: Sonic's special moves/final smash

When I was a kid, there was one absolute in all of video gaming: Mario and Sonic would never team up. Ever.

Since Sonic is in the game I'd love a Death Egg stage! Can you imagain one minute fighting on the floor and then the antigrave kicks in and suddenly your fighting on the Cealing? That's what a Death egg stage would be like! Rock on!

On the other hand the stealth delay is killing me! I thought just getting throught the rest of October and Novemeber to get this game was going to be bad enough and now I looks like I'll have to get throught most of December and Januaray as well :(

Damn December would have been better since then I could play during the christmas break rather then during the second symester of collage. Oh well at least it's not a Twilight princess like year long delay.

Still the games is so wtf amazing now that it can only get even better with extra time.

I still find it hard to believe that sonic and mario are going to fight each other in a game, I remember the countless arguments with my friends when I was 10 years old about who'll win between Sonic and Mario.

Maybe you battle Petey at multiple points throughout the adventure. After all, he is Mario's most tenacious adversary outside of Bowser.

Speaking of the delay, wouldn't you guy imagine that Nintendo would be pulling out the stops to get this game out the door for the holiday shopping season? From a sales perspective, such a delay seems like a HUGE missed opportunity.

Canonically (storywise), Sonic beats Mario, no question.

With gamers, yes, but missing that window of opportunity with the casuals, who will probably only buy at Christmas with multiple game, will make the sales a bit less, I would imagine. But, I could be wrong.

So, does anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many copies this game is going to sell lifetime?


My early estimates have it pegged right around 15-20million total.

If Capcom adds Mega-man, and you have Snake, Sonic, and Mega-man, it could be insaneo.

Yeah, I said much earlier in the thread last night that I think Sonic will be top-tier competitively, or at least very close to it. It's really hard to go wrong with characters this fast: see Sheik, Captain Falcon, and Fox in Melee.

I just thought of something. Having Sonic in this game means that for the first time in what seems like forever, Sonic will be in a good side scrolling game for a console.
