Everyone move on to the Conference threads since Brawl is going to be the only thing allowed to be covered and not embargoes and they are allowed to record video and all that.

I am importing this shit. No way I can wait till February.
 
I just realized something.

IGN Blog said:
9:41 a.m.: Demonstration ends. Now, Nintendo is booting up Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We see a character screen with Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Fox, Pikachu, Diddy Kong, Pit, Meta Knight, Ike, Peach, Yoshi, Sonic, Bowser and a random button. Nintendo talks about the four different control schemes, which are fully customizable.

Of those, Meta Knight, Ike, Peach, and Sonic don't have Final Smashes updates on the Dojo (although Sonic's is hinted to be Super Sonic)

So, how soon would their Smashes appear on the Dojo since we could easily learn about them via the demo?

BTW, with the delay, this makes only 15 weeks left till Japan's launch from now.

That's 75 update days left (if they include holidays and the launch day).

22 Characters revealed so far.

If there is one char per week from now continuously, it'll be a total of 37 characters. Will this be the case? Will the "secrets" be revealed before launch?

Its like, a 2 week wait. By the time your copy from Japan arrives the US game will be available really :)

If you can wait the extra 2 months for the game to come out, u can wait an extra 2 weeks from the Japanese release.

The delay is great pain to all indeed, but if it helps iron out any bugs, glitches, balance issues, im all up for it.

Pretty much. I mean, I guess I get to have yet more fun with statistics for another couple months, but still. :( :( :(
On the "bright" side, and that's being very optimistic, at least Wii will now automatically have a great 2008 even outside of Wii Ware (since most of the news coming out of that conference was for WW or DS). And now we're really assured of being the biggest thread on GAF...

Let's take it back real quick and talk about are Smash Melee ways. Who do you main as and list your secondary characters if you have any. And do you play at tourney level?(Can you compete with kids at Smashboards, etc)
1. Jigglypuff (main)
2. Falco (main)
3. Dr. Mario (no Mario, he sucks because of a lack of the vitamins)
4. Ganondorf
5. Luigi
6. Captain Falcon
7. Pikachu

Tourney level kills me. :D I take off two lives in a 5-stock match, but that's about it. But this may be because I don't know anyone at tourney level to be able to practice against.

I'm more shocked that people are whining about this. It's not like there isn't already too many games this holiday anyway.
I think this is the second time I remember ever disagreeing with you about anything at all, but... There aren't too many games, at least not on Wii only. >_>

Wow, awesome. Too bad im at school at japan time and when i get back home there are few pages in this thread already (or in case of yesterday, over 15)
Anyway, does anybody know if any thread before beaten 30k posts?

so guys, i'm thinking, maybe, just maybe, right now is a great time to stir some discussion on the differences in control schemes, and whether or not something like, say, the C-stick smashes will return for classic controller and gamecube?

Or how about, what's with those arm bangles on Pit's arm, huh? Its pretty interesting how he uses them to draw out an arrow of light, with... what is it, 3 rings? It would really suck to lose to some dude named Pit, who has 3 rings on his arm, just because due to some odd popularity and his being amongst the first newcomers to the series.

Also, what's up with the enemy AIs on melee and all of them just beating the crap out of the one human player in an FFA, when playing against CPU? Seriously. I mean, I guess it would just mean you would have to make more attacks land on the opponents to send them flying, and ultimately beat them.

Has anyone here managed to live even up to 300% damage? That's some crazy stuff. I heard about this one guy who got 300% through 100 consecutive lives. I think it'd be insane to even try that, but if people tried hard enough, I think it could happen.

Anyways, I made some drawing that I think would be pretty appropriate for the thread at some point (uploaded it, too), but I imagine I won't be awake for when it happens. Been up all night long, and now its morning; kinda reminds me of the whole y2k debacle for some reason.

But if anyone has any more requests for avatar JPGs, send me a PM and I'll put one together if someone doesn't.

5. Captain Falcon

I'm nowhere near tourney level. I'm the best among my friends but that's really not saying much. I don't know anyone even close to tourney level that I could practice against. I mean, I could just practice techniques against CPUs in Training Mode but that only goes so far...

Can we still expect two months of Dojo updates now that the delay is in? How much of the game will be revealed beforehand?

More like four months worth.

Well, at least I got other Wii games for the holidays(Fire Emblem, Super Mario Galaxy, and haven't even bought Super Paper Mario), and actually finish Zelda and Paper Mario on the Virtual Console.

I really need to play more games and read less forums.

When you think about it, the order of these announcements is a bit of a downer. For instance, if they came out with the news that Brawl is going to be delayed first...and then unveiled Sonic, it's easier to justify the extra time.

But now, well...Sonic's moves, huh? Too early for tonight's predictions?

I guess I'll add to the lists people are making for their melee character priorities:

1 - Pikachu
2 - Falco
3 - Roy
4 - Dr. Mario
5 - Samus

parts of sonic's moves are today's updates, but its NEVER too early for predictions

I mean it, predict away, make multiple posts and defend your opinion, if you must (you should)

I really cant imagine the stuff that will be unveiled in over 70 updates. This game just has a scary amount of detail and care put into it.
Its almost frightening.

Well, luckily I've got DS and will be getting a PSP soon. But the Wii's library certainly isn't helped by this.

Really? Fascinating. Care to explain your thoughts in several separate posts? I think this thread doesn't have enough Innotech in it. I think it needs more Innotech. Yes, that's what it needs. In fact, bring your friends, your family, relatives. Have them post here, and their thoughts on Smash.

Well, after reading the IGN hands-on article, I've got a prediction: a stage, specifically Norfair.

The article lists the stages in the demo and Norfair is the only one we haven't seen yet. I've been feeling a stage for a while now, so I'm pretty sure Sakurai will end off with Norfair.

The impressions post also mentioned alternate costumes in addition to the obligatory color changes. That's a plus, isn't it?

When do we get that Dojo update?

You're not alone.:D

Handhelds will be the overwhelming winners this gen of the Japanese and Euro markets, and next gen handhelds will fully take over America too.

The seismic shift in this industry hasn't been because of consoles. Handhelds are the future of this industry. They will be the biggest moneymakers, and consoles will fall behind.

This is going way off topic, but what the hell...

I agree that handhelds are becoming increasingly important, but consoles are still driving the industry at the moment. However, I think that eventually, handhelds may overtake consoles as the main part of the industry. I don't really mind this; lately the bulk of my gaming time has gone to handheld games and Virtual Console titles anyway. :D

I'll read through the stuff back there but I guess I should post my reaction to delay first.

EDIT: My characters from Melee...

1. Sheik
2. Samus
3. Mario
4. Jigglypuff
5. Yoshi
6. Roy

With all this extra time, they should find a way to put my two outlandish character additions into the game.

1) Ryu (see a few pages back) and
2) Pious Augustus (see 8/16/07)

hiryu2015 said:
I'll have a go with a prediction. Pious Augustus from Eternal Darkness, a new challenger.

Then it wouldn't seem so strange that I suddenly felt compelled to start a new game file after 4 years when sorting my game collection last evening.
Alex Roivas would be okay too. Alex Roivas from the University of Washington--Pac-10 represent!

Reggie can only possibly make up for this delay by showing Megaman's intro Video to Smash and pushing the dojo to have a minimum of two updates a night including weekends!! Right, Right?

All I know is, EVEN with the announcement of Sonic Sakurai MUST give us another megaton when he announces the delay on the site. Having a piplup-style update and a delay announcement would be inhumane.

usea and WastingPenguins I believe. Just because WP says his friends are much better than him doesn't mean he can't reach upper half of tournaments as long as he has the experience.

I on the other hand haven't had a chance to attend a tournament since like 2 years ago since I seem to be busy whenever they hit. I remember my friend getting dead last at MLG Seattle and now he's the #1 player BC =P

My characters:
1. Young Link (kinda tied with Sheik)
2. Sheik (kinda tied with Young Link
3. Ice Climbers (can't use them for shit, only for free for alls)
4. Peach (don't know her very well either)

The first two are my mains I alternate between. The last two are characters I use every once in a while in free for alls and would love to learn to play.

But seriously, an easy, easy 90% of my gaming is on VC or DS. Oh well. *opens GAF Posters of the Year.doc and adds Iam Canadian to the Portable Defense Force list and the VC Defense Force list* It's going to be really hard figuring out a point system for what these things count for.

That would be Pokemon. >_> That's "my" game in the sense that I'm great at it, even though I like Smash better.

I'm thinking we should get a GAF meet-up for those who are considering going to E for All, especially in light of the delay.

I'll probably be there Thursday & Friday, as it's the cheapest days to go.

I'm even less likely to go now than before, honestly. :lol Getting a taste of SSBB and then knowing I couldn't play it for another four months would be painful...

Actually, is it even possible to still register to attend at this point?
