Thread title should be I TOLD YOU I WAS HARDCORE.

Yay, finally validated. I've been lurking this endlessly amusing thread for ages it seems.
The latest update confirms that I won't lose any of my CDs no matter how high I turn on the suck in SSE, so that's comforting. And Intense sounds like it might be stupidly difficult. I hope this is the case.

-Secrets for Continuing kicks off the 41st week with the 41st game mode. It's also the 200th update day and the 243rd update overall.
-Lucas moves from 53 screenshots to 55 and passes Bowser. Ice Climbers move from 36 to 38 and tie Sonic. Peach moves from 50 to 52 and passes the superior princess.
-This is really short. Filler material: 2 out of the most recent 2 Mondays have hosted a game mode update.
-Filler material, the sequel: The Great Smash Bros. Dojo Thread Quote Hunt is more than 50% complete! Over 32,500 of our 61,493 posts have been read through. [Edit: Now over 35,000!]
-Filler material, the spinoff TV series: there's a 100% chance that stats will be late for Wednesday's update. Whether that means "not here at all" or just very late that same night, I'm not quite sure. I'm flying back that Tuesday night, in any case.

I'm curious if anyone knows for sure if Pat Cashman is the announcer for the US version of Smash. Just listening to the voice, it really does sound like him.

What is this quote hunt thing? I am confused!
Also, predicting a secret character "reveal" tonight. No idea who, just a thought!

Well, back when it was released in Japan, we were worried that sp0rsk was going to close this thread. In response, Jiggy thought it'd be a nice idea to wade back through this massive thread and capture interesting quotes. Because it'd be waaay too much work for one man, he split it up into 2500 post sections. In the end, a nice big post to look back at the fun moments ...Soka said:
And that's what the quote hunt thing is all about.

I'm sticking to my Pokemon update, which will contain a number of the new Pokemon, similar to the Assist Trophy update.
Edit: I was going to ask Jiggy to check his PMs, but I see he already did.

I love quirky stages like this.
Donkey Kong's special moves are boring and nothing new, but at least it's a double.

Donkey Kong is actually really awesome in Brawl, despite the fact that no one plays as him. :lol Despite what the Dojo says, the "headbutt -> Giant Punch" combo is pretty damn easy to land and really powerful.
75m is one wacky stage, let me tell you. :lol 8Bit DK hits hard to be sure, but even more dangerous are those springs that bounce down at you... they will pwn you
A cool tidbit about the stage is that the score at the top of the screen is accurate to whats
going on in the stage. So if you collect a purse or whatever it adds to the score :lol
BTW does anyone know: Was '75m' the original name of this stage back in the day? First time I've heard it..

It was funny. I mean, what else would be your first instinct on this stage other than reaching the top? Then those friggin springs came. Those hurt a lot >=[
I dunno. It's obvious this isn't my type of stage, but it's good fun the first time you try it and one of those "what would happen if we just fought in another game" type things. Mushroomy Kingdom is still the best when it comes to that category though =) Damn. That stage is genius.

Yep, it's accurate. Before each level, they'd show how high up the construction site you were. The first level was 25M, the second 50M, and so on. They had real names as well, I believe, but the 75M thing is a more obscure reference.MrCheez said:
75M is a clever stage but it's really horrible for brawling in. The entire top and far right section are suicidal to hang out in most of the time, due to the springs of death, and walk-off stage ending. That, combined with the evil trouble bugs, make actual fighting near-impossible. Add in the ladders that you'll accidentally climb when trying to attack/evade, and it's a very frustrating experience.

The Dojo update said that this area was the highest part of the construction site, but wasn't the final level where you defeated Donkey Kong technically the highest point?
If they really wanted to go for an obscure reference, they should have included a Pie Factory level.

Awesome DK double update!
It would have been cool to play as old school DK. Also I wish Nintendo would release an arcade perfect 'Donkey Kong' on WiiWare.

This is going to require some kind of ginormous Elizabethan Donkey Kong post, but that's not happening tonight. Sorry, everyone. >_> Too beat up today to even figure out whether that's Ike and Ike or Ike and Marth in that one screenshot, when normally I'd do that in a heartbeat. (Or I'd already know.)
Edit: And for the record, I'm not counting old-school Donkey Kong as new-school Donkey Kong because of the way I think the current canon works.

It's okay, Jigs. You deserve a bit of a break.
Incidentally, I think that's Marth and Ike. I think.

I thought OG DK = Cranky Kong and New DK was his son or grandson

Wow, great stage. Talk about nostalgia factor. Last week I watched King of Kong for the first time and 75m from the original game got a decent amount of screen time, so I remember it especially clearly. I never would have expected to see it in Brawl. The platform setup isn't exactly to my taste as far as stages go, but I'm sure it will be excellent for item overload matches. I can't wait to fill it with mines, bumpers or bob-ombs.

I just realized that I beat this game both on SSE and Classic on hard
I though the "smash" symbol was the normal...

Correct. It's been established that the original Donkey Kong is now Cranky Kong (nevermind the fact that Mario doesn't seem to have aged). Nintendo and Rare were inconsistant on whether the current Donkey Kong is his son or grandson (see http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/kongtroversy.shtml ). The relationship between Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong is also not consistent.

Ah yes...I believe this is also the only game those two exist together, ain't it?

Just recently....
A particular Snake codec in Brawl gave its own take on the issue. It never ends!
And as for Diddy? I believe the profiles listed in the Brawl, and other promo material released before, go forth to be another source that agrees with the notion that he is DK's Nephew. DK64 was the only game that really ever tried to showcase some sort of "doubt" that they weren't family...

If we really want to get down to it, they can't be blood family, since Donkey Kong is an ape, and Diddy Kong is a monkey. The discussion begins and ends right there. The "Kong" clan is pretty much entirely apes, so they could all be blood related, but aberrations like Diddy and Lanky (ape, but orangutan, not gorilla) are likely just... adopted into the family? I basically see Diddy as Robin to DK's Batman.
Here's how I understand it:
Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong GB Remake [incidentally he wears the tie here], etc) - The original donkey kong. He had a son (somehow?) named...
Donkey Kong Jr. (Donkey Kong Jr.) - Saves his Father, and does some math. Completely disappears from Canon but not before having a son of his own.
Donkey Kong (The third) - The one who has problems with bananas and Coconuts, and befriended Diddy (who shares the same last name as him.. along with most of his friends.. for some reason)
I'm not sure who Mario and Donkey Kong/March of the Minis DK is. Maybe that's DK Jr.
