Guided missiles... Lovely.

That's dripping with sarcasm right there, got me laughing.

 

[Penguin]

Aww wished the thread title was

"Tingle! Tingle! Kooloo-limpah!"

 

[justchris]

Wow, a lot of nice assist trophies. Even the ones we already knew about are awesome.

 

[polg]

ZOMGWTFBBQ DRILL DOZER!

 

[Jiggy]

"Mama mia!" Assist trophies as an update type go up to 16, and then come right back down to 15 because the old Lakitu doesn't count anymore. >_>

"Have a rotten day!" The five least recent update types are now how to play, item, special moves, adventure mode, and final smash.

"I'm the BEST!" Wednesday is now tied with Tuesday for number of official assist trophy updates, at four of them.

"Oh, did I win?" Olimar surpasses Sonic and hits 30 screenshots; Donkey Kong surpasses Ike and the full Pokemon Trainer combo with 59 screenshots; King Dedede breaks his tie with Meta Knight and goes to 66.

"I can't shake this guy!" Ice Climbers advance to 22 screenshots like the Pokemon Trainer trainer himself; Diddy Kong advances to 61 and catches up to Pikachu; Lucas advances to 49, the domain of Peach and Zero Suit Samus.

I hope explosions of all kind repel Metroids.

I hope PK Freeze repels Metroids.

 

[Jiggy]

I have to admit, as much as I liked Drill Dozer and totally wanted Jill in Brawl as a playable character, she's always been one mind-blowingly ugly, hideous little girl.

Edit: Like, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING levels of ugly.

 

[Koomaster]

God, do I feel stupid for never having noticed that they spelled "Katana" together.

Man, I am right there with you. I feel so dumb. ~______~

Also, the tingle image with the flowers is AWESOME!!!! I love Tingle so damn much!

Well, they can't all be Colette, can they?

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

no "35 and still single" thread tag? For shame lazy mods, for shame.

Also, i didnt know likitu dropped spiked eggs, i always that that was just the under belly of the spikeys

 

[Jiggy]

Well, they can't all be Colette, can they?

Well, in all the world there's only one character I think is cuter than Colette, so no. No, they can't.


But really, what was GameFreak thinking. D: Years of designing attractive characters for Pokemon and then on their first non-Pokemon project in years--and a great game, even!--they murder their chances at success immediately with one of the ugliest little girls ever seen in gaming.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Personally, I'd have gone with "Guided missiles...Lovely". Or "Man, I'm even afraid of dentist drills". Or "No! Stop! Get off my head!" Or...

Well, this update has a lot of thread title fodder.

I dont think it is too bad in the game, but this 3d model of her is terrible.

Hmm, must be Sheena.

Spoiler

she gets my vote

 

[grandjedi6]

Say, if there is Cell-shaded Tingle in the game, I wonder if they'll be a playable Cell-shaded Link :O

The dentist drills would definitely have been my pick. Actually laughed for that one!

Hmm, must be Sheena.

Haruhi.
Actually, I had Ayu Tsukimiya in mind until I remembered that it's her behavior that I love while I don't particularly care for the way either Toei or Kyoto Animation drew her. >_> Which is the only reason I never made an avatar of her...

[CassSept]

Oh man, that Gamecube controller post is sublime. Not just on its own, but because it's so representative of the many, many times that subject was brought up and fervently ranted about. >_>

Jiggy, dont you remember how everybody was sure after Dojo opening, until four ways of control were confirmed, that this game will actually be controled only with Wiimote, because the icon to "How to Play" section is Wii Remote:lol ?
Same was with WiFi Play, i dont remember if there were any ban bets over this, but until Sakurai confirmed it, many people thought he wont hide such a big feature so long = WiFi is not in Brawl:lol

 

[hellclerk]

AWESOME! i was hoping Kat and Ana would be playable as sort of a faster, lighter alternative to Ice Climbers, but i guess assist trophy is as much as can be asked in this instance. srsly, i'd main as them if they were playable.

Say, if there is Cell-shaded Tingle in the game, I wonder if they'll be a playable Cell-shaded Link :O

THIS IS A SPOILER SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS DON'T HIGHLIGHT THIS!!!!!

Spoiler

there is

 

[Danthrax]

Haruhi.

She is pretty cute. Doing an image search for her is NOT safe for work, though @_@



[edit] BTW, I'm still working through my 2,500 posts. I've got some pretty good updates in there, like Pkmn Trainer and Ike =D

 

[vareon]

Woo! Look at all those trophies! Personally loved Metroid and Kat & Ana.

 

[Chris Michael]

"What the heck is THAT?"

Dhaos AT confirmed?

 

[CreatureX3]

I remember those arguments! :lol I also remember when many were saying that Zero Suit Samus inclusion in Brawl somehow meant that Sheik was not returning. :lol :lol

Those were some crazy times back in the early days of this thread!

 

[Rindain]

Sweet, finally we get the Metroid AT officially unveiled! It would be cool if the Metroid could occasionally give energy back to Samus a'la the ending of SM.

where there are celebrities, whether drawn or real, there is porn. for this reason i stopped making tags for other boards.

however, i must disagree with Jiggy. Haruhi is the most "moe" character design ever (based on my experience with "moe" character archetypes. i am a writer, so i have made it my prerogative to learn about this shit for later satire). cute comes more from petiteness and young look, therefore cute is based more in characters that if you liked what you saw after googling with safe search off, well, let me just call the feds here.

speaking of all this moe shit, i really wish Travis Touchdown could make an appearance in this game too, but alas, it was not meant to be :'(

Man, the belief that ZSS = Sheik not returning held up until... early january? When these cards or whatever with special attacks were released and featured all special attacks from all revealed characters, except for Zelda's down B:lol

 

[Iam Canadian]

I think Jiggy is the last person in this thread that would decide he likes a character because of what he saw in a Google search without SafeSearch.

And the use of the word "moe" just makes me think of this.

He's probably watched the anime/read the manga, wherever she's from. I Googled because I had no idea who she was and looked at a SFW pic after stepping carefully around the NSFW shit

 

[Jiggy]

I've never used Google with SafeSearch turned off. Ever! And I probably never will.

I actually don't remember this. But it wouldn't surprise me if I was looking back through the old posts and saw that. On another note...

Guys, whenever you finish looking through your sections, let me know! I'll go ahead and mark the posts off on the list so that we can have a progress check for how much of the thread we've combed through successfully.

I don't know, maybe I just use a different definition of "cute" from most people, but I don't think it excludes moe. >_> I mean it more like "pretty."

 

[CassSept]

Im pretty sure there has been something like this. Ive been lurking on this thread since it got started and iirc there were people who actually believed that no mention of other control methods, and wii remote as icon for How to Play section meant that Wiimote will be only control method in SSBB. I wouldnt do ban bet about it, but im 99% sure that something like this happened

 

[HolyCheck]

Guys, whenever you finish looking through your sections, let me know!

Am slowly going through it, but am going through it none the less, will post it all here when done!

 

[CTLance]

Wow, that was quite a huge update IMHO. Nice.

The Drill Dozer AT looks kinda ugly though. She's certainly no beauty in the official artwork, but her 3D rendition really is "I'd hit it with a shovel" levels of ugly. Ewwww.

On the topic of Haruhi - and slightly OT: Whatever happened to

?
I know there was a PS2 release, but wasn't there a Wii version planned too?

 

[scottnak]

I'm about halfway through. Should be done by tomorrow.

aahhh the memories.

Anywayz: Tonights update was "ok".

 

[Jiggy]

I think the Wii Haruhi game is still on its way, although sadly it'll probably never make its way out of Japan. I wonder if having a game that was based on an anime that was based on a light novel makes a character eligible for Smash Bros. 4...


>_>
<_<


Er, uh, I mean, at least we can all agree in unison that Jill is bloody ugly.
And yeah, guys, there's no rush about looking through the posts. I'm just eager to start crossing stuff off and such when the time finally comes.
Anyway, back to Jill.

Jill: Ugly character or ugliest character? I think we all know the answer. ...Which sucks so bad, since her game was totally great.

 

[Rezbit]

:lol @ Tingle comment! 35 and still single!

 

[Staccat0]

If the wii were region free I'd be playing smash right now.
I see people already talking about SSB 4. What about SSB DS? seems very likely.
Which will come first I wonder?

Haha, I think it's kind of funny that's she's really ugly! Actually, it's kind of really cool that she's ugly. XD

But I do think they receded her hairline too much for the 3D model. It's off-modelllll... XO

I also agree that Haruhi's really cute. It's the hair ribbon that does it.
But cutest videogame girl on a Nintendo system? That should go to.. hmm.. I'm having a brainfreeze here and can't honestly remember many videogame girls at all (maybe because there aren't enough!).. Zelda or Peach. I don't remember calling many other videogame girls my "babies"... maybe Torchic too :> .

If that gives it even a remote chance... I hope to sweet baby Jebus that someone would make a Wii Keroro game.

 

[A Link to the Past]

She looks much less ugly in the screenshot than her model.

And besides, kids are kinda like Jill.

Not the Drill, the face.

 

[SovanJedi]

I actually think the model looks better than the drawing. Either way, she's one hideous goblin-child and I might start crying if I have to look at her again.

Then again, she does actually LOOK like a girl *Refrains from commenting on the character in his avatar*

 

[ratcliffja]

Unbelievable. How did they still manage to put things on the Dojo that I haven't seen before? I've been spoiling myself pretty hard the last week or so and still they surprise me.

 

[crowphoenix]

I'm kind of dissappointed, in today's title, I mean, how hard was it to pass up Tingle. He's 35 and still single. :lol I really got a good laugh at that.

Jiggy, your hope and optimism is infectious. Now you've got me hoping that Treasure is a third-party in the next Smash Bros. and we can get Red, Blue, and Orange playable, and Seven Force as a boss fight!

Spoiler

Not really.

Anyway, Jiggy, I'll PM you when I'm done with my pages so that you can add my .txt file to your list.

I also agree that Haruhi's really cute. It's the hair ribbon that does it.

Zelda or Peach. I don't remember calling many other videogame girls my "babies"... maybe Torchic too :> .

Nintendo's better at designing characters that are cute in the fashion of an animal or inanimate object than human female-wise. I wouldn't call Zelda cute, at least not in the way that you and Jiggy seem to be defining it. She's got more of a regal, "untouchable" sort of beauty. Peach...meh. I guess.

When it comes to non-human things, though, Kirby is the cutest thing to grace the Earth, with Jigglypuff in second. Pikachu is highly overrated in the cuteness department.

I have absolutely no idea who Haruhi is, but I did like that avatar that Jiggy used to have. Mostly the facial expression. Speaks volumes about her character...er, I think, seeing as I no nothing about this character. >_>

 

[Jiggy]

Pikachu sucks and isn't cute in the least, especially not in video games (Pokemon or Smash or whatever, doesn't matter). At least the anime one can twist and warp his face to do cheesy standup comic-style impressions of every other character in the show, which is charming but not cute per se. >_>

And Zelda isn't cute either. She's... I don't even know what she is. I wouldn't even call her pretty because she's so terribly distant and unapproachable in every game where she's older than ten. If I was Link I probably wouldn't bother saving her unless that just happened to coincide with whatever my real goal was. >_>

Mia and Nephenee, however, are cute. Along with a metric ton of other FE girls like Tana, Astrid, the whole FE7 Pegasus Knight trio, Amelia certainly... yeah. Fire Emblem knows what it's doing.

Then again, she does actually LOOK like a girl *Refrains from commenting on the character in his avatar*

Wh-wh-what? That thing in your avatar...
I...
I'm speechless. D: I can't unsee it. D: What have you done, SovanJedi. What have you done.

I have absolutely no idea who Haruhi is, but I did like that avatar that Jiggy used to have. Mostly the facial expression. Speaks volumes about her character...er, I think, seeing as I no nothing about this character. >_>

Yes, it's the best and most appropriate facial expression and stance for her ever, and when my Photobucket bandwidth returns so will she.

 

[HK-47]

Pikachu > Jigglypuff

I think we all need to rewatch the first episode of the anime. It all went downhill from there

 

[Basch]

Just wondering, has this information already been released. If not, where should I post this? Is there a thread for reviews? Or should I post a new topic? Anyways, I posted this over at N4G, going through approval as we speak. EDIT: Scratch that. Just went through.

A forum member by the name of Ezz has posted excerpts from the review over on the Nintendo NSider2 Forums:

"I'm ecstatic to report... that Brawl isn't just amazing, and it isn't just one of the best titles on Wii, but it's one of the very best games that Nintendo has ever produced."

The single biggest new addition to Brawl is The Subspace Emissary, a vastly expanded adventure mode that by itself is well worth the price of admission. Just imagine if you'd never heard of the Smash series, but someone told you that nintendo made a side-scrolling action/adventure game starring all of its top characters-you'd flip out, right? And to think, Brawl throws it in as a bonus! I can't stress enough that this mode isn't some fluffed-out afterthought- it's packed with loads of enemies and stage types, offers incredible boss battles, supports two-player co-op, and has lots of classic Nintendo references for long-time fans to geek out over. The cinema scenes are gorgeous and contain a long list of cool and funny moments, and I'm pretty sure that Brawl has more cinemas than all other Nintendo games ever made combined. The Subspace Emissary takes longer than many top stand-alone action games to finish, and even more play value can be found in clearing each stage on harder difficulties."

It's a testmament to the talent of the developers that I even enjoy playing as Diddy Kong- I've always hated that guy."

The game's control feels smoother than Melee's; you're less likely to accidentally jerk a quick character off a ledge. And, being the type of Melee player that never totally clicked with pressing up on the analog stick to jump, the game plays much better for me now that Brawl has the option to make jumps button-only"

Maybe, if I set my mind to it, I could scrounge up some negative things to say about the game, some details that could've used a tiny bit more polish. But against the grand scope of how much Brawl does amazingly well, any other possible concerns would be trivial at best. To deny this game a 10 purely for the sake of shying away from the top of our review scale would be a shameful disservice to one of the greatest gaming achievements in years. Rarely has any title delivered so much amazing action, such a wide variety of modes, and so many hours of value. It doesn't get any better than this"

- Chris Slate

Final Score: 10/10

Bowser is cute.
