So this is Sakurai's interpretation of bringing the female userbase to Wii!

oh God, i don't even want to think of the fanfics this will inspire :lol

 

[Vlad]

But this is pretty cool. But... Snake is using a GUN?! I thought Sakurai wasn't going to allow that :O

I think the idea was that he wasn't going allow some more (for lack of a better way to descrie it) "consumer level"-type weapons. Swords are allowed, knives aren't, etc.

We've already seen Snake using a bazooka and landmines, so I'm guessing military-grade weapons are allowed, but something like a revolver would be out.

 

[Ashhong]

I'm sure Jiggy will disagree with the power of stats but I'm damn sure that this is the best week ever.

I don't suppose you are Shane B....how dare you steal his screen name.

 

[Crushed]

Does anyone else get DBZ vibes from that shot? Just the picture of a dark sky while a floating Snake glows and shouts as his power increases. :lol

Spoiler

First person to make an Over 9000 joke is dead.

 

[rikichi]

AWESOME FINAL!

love that he reloads the clip

 

[superbank]

:lol I'm imagining him levitating away Superman/DBZ style.

This is a cool FS. I was thinking before that there would be new "aiming" items like this using the pointer.

Yes :lol

 

[Rindain]

Come on Sakurai, change ZSS' Final Smash to something as fan

Spoiler

ass

servicy as Snake's!

Or at least make it look like the actual Crystal Flash from Super Metroid.

 

[Iam Canadian]

I'm sure Jiggy will disagree with the power of stats but I'm damn sure that this is the best week ever.

The week with the Stage Builder automatically became the best week ever simply on the virtue of that incredibly awesome update.

Spoiler

That, or the week we got Lucas.

 

[Crushed]

oh God, i don't even want to think of the fanfics this will inspire :lol

It's already inspired some fascinating artwork.

 

[KittenMaster]

I wonder if the Nunchaku or Wiimote control schemes will let you use the sensor bar to aim now.

Seriously though, Snake's Final Smash will probably be excellent in 1 vs 1, as he can't be attacked.

 

[layzie1989]

There's got to be more to this shooting the screen mechanic. We've seen it so far with the Dragoon and Solid Snake's FS. You think they would create this whole new mechanic for just an assist trophy and snake's final smash? I'm hoping for more assist trophies like this and even a game mode.

 

[VeritasVierge]

oh...I misread that and now regret my actions.

Haha! You weren't the only one to misread it.

 

[SantaC]

The week with sonic was the best ever.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Well, this is probably gonna be a short discussion, so...

How would you react if the following were replaced:

Jigglypuff
Captain Falcon
Ness
Falco
Marth

By:

Igglybuff
Rick Wheeler
Lucas
Wolf O' Donnell
Eliwood

?

 

[Shinobix]

That's FUCKING AWESOME. Reminds me of Blodia Vulcan

(biggest pic I could find)

 

[Greatness Gone]

HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9 FUCKING THOUSAND!1111

Snake is about to Gyariku Ho Kirby in the face.

 

[hellclerk]

lol, sakurai really has outdone himself this week with updates. now to see if he will end the week with a bang or a whimper tomorrow.

i'll predict a bang with captain falcon, or a ok with olimar's moves.

 

[Man God]

HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9 FUCKING THOUSAND!1111

Rise to Heaven, Snake!

Captain Falcon

No.....He will never be replaced

 

[Jiggy]

-Snake's final smash is the 198th update. This normally wouldn't be noteworthy, but the fact that it's a single update means that the 200th update is not tomorrow unless we get a double. So whether the big Two Oh Oh will bring elation or weeping, we might have to wait until Monday's update to find out.

-Final smashes reach 21 updates and the only known characters without them are reduced to Olimar, Zelda, and Zero Suit Samus. Let's hope that the next final smash is absolutely positively not ZSS, basically.

-Our six least recent update types shift over to how to play, Poke Ball, assist trophy, story mode, and a tie between game mode and normal item.

-Metal Gear hits 7 updates, breaking away from the heavy congestion of a tie with Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Wario, and Mother and getting into only a slightly more comfortable situation with Legend of Zelda and Metroid. (Insert jokes about Snake/Samus/Zelda here.)

-In one quick shot, moving from 37 screenshots to 43, Snake slips past King Dedede and Lucas for pictorial representation. Bowser also appeared four times, and managed to end up tied with Snake here.

-There are only 10 more days of updates remaining before the Japanese release date. Rejoice!

 

[Crushed]

Rise to Heaven, Snake!

He's going to pierce the heavens. He's burning with Spiral power.

EDIT: Just realized, he's a genetically modified sterile clone, making him effectively Spiral-less. :lol

 

[TreIII]

-There are only 10 more days of updates remaining before the Japanese release date. Rejoice!

NO! Stop reminding me! It makes the wait for my import all the more PAINFUL....! :lol :lol

 

[KittenMaster]

Rise to Heaven, Snake!

If Kirby eats Snake...

 

[MrCheez]

-There are only 10 more days of updates remaining before the Japanese release date. Rejoice!

Technically isn't it only 9? The 10th will be the update OF the 24th (This is nitpicking, I know. But it does bring up the question of what is considered the "Last" (and hopefully MEGATON) update before the updates are considered 'post-release'?)

 

[A Link to the Past]

I think I should ask for a ban until I get SSBB. I mean, I thought I could check out the full roster, but I just wanna be surprised.

 

[Christopher]

[Insaniac]

there will be much pausing and observing of ZSS

FFS Chris, if you're just gonna make jokes!!

Screw asking for a ban, man up and do it with style by spamming pictures of a certain Capcom mascot in this very thread.

 

[Jiggy]

The week with the Stage Builder automatically became the best week ever simply on the virtue of that incredibly awesome update.

Yeah, basically.
Or, for a lot of people (not me), the week with Sonic. Or, for the doubters who thought Brawl wouldn't be online, the week when they were proven wrong. Oh, heck. I'll just throw together a list of awesome weeks for our consideration in a moment here.

Well, this is probably gonna be a short discussion, so...

How would you react if the following were replaced:

Jigglypuff
Captain Falcon

Falco
Marth

Igglybuff

Worst move ever, second worst move ever, silly decision but ultimately sort of a lateral shift, that's totally okay and also very lateral, odd but meh.

Technically isn't it only 9? The 10th will be the update OF the 24th

I'm not sure if the update will be put up or if stores will open and have Brawl on their shelves first... Hmm. Maybe this could be resolved if we figure out what time the updates are being put up in Japan time.

 

[Rentahamster]

So many characters with tight, hot asses, mmmmmm.........

 

[Crushed]

I think I should ask for a ban until I get SSBB. I mean, I thought I could check out the full roster, but I just wanna be surprised.

Oh for Pete's sake, half of the unlockable characters will, like Melee, require some extremely specific task that you'd never just do by accident, or would take an incredible amount of versus matches to unlock. You HAVE to know what you're trying to unlock.

Luigi, for example. There has to be a "2" in the seconds timer? Or Mewtwo's INSANE match length of 20 hours, where lots of people just left it on 99 minutes for a while.

I *think* they go up at about 3 or 4pm Japan time? Somewhere around there.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

To be honest I didn't know what to expect for Snake's Final Smash. So this was a pretty awesome surprise to me.

-There are only 10 more days of updates remaining before the Japanese release date. Rejoice!

So this thread technically only has 10 more days to live.

The clock is ticking, my friends..

I actually unlocked Luigi second without looking at any site. First was Jigglypuff running through classic. I just got extremely lucky.

 

[MrCheez]

Technically the Dojo should be going for a few months PAST Brawl's release, right?

But the question is whether or not sp0rsk let the thread exist that long

 

[ShockingAlberto]

"I must go now, my planet needs me."

Snake's spaceship exploded on the way back to his home planet.

man i cant wait to be slapped in the face with those "CHALLENGEr APPROACHING" warnings. The secret chars will be the best part!

I wonder how many stages there will be too...

 

[MrCheez]

"I must go now, my planet needs me."

:lol !

To this day the whole Poochie thing still cracks me up. Especially that part!

You'll still be able to read the updates at the Dojo, better throw away your PC just to be sure.

That's why I'm going to try and track down a list of what you have to do to unlock all the characters/stages, without saying exactly what is unlocked.

Assuming something like that isn't already in the game, that is.

 

[Iam Canadian]

I actually have a shopped MS Paint-edited version of that actual screen from The Simpsons, except with Krystal's name.

Maybe I should make one for Snake now...

Sure, that's true, but I'd love to at least get some before I give up and look them up.

Haha, nice reference.

lol, and here I was, hoping for something cooler. Still, the second picture's pretty damn funny

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Mewtwo's INSANE match length of 20 hours

Pft, my play clock maxed out at 9999 hours well over a year ago.

Also, it only took 5 hours if you play nothing but 4P matches.
