Those Japanese links have been there for a while.

On a separate note, can I call dibs on writing and maintaining the OP for the new Dojo for Smash Bros. 4? If so, I do. >_> <_< >_>

We meet back here in 8 years?

 

[Iam Canadian]

I've got the Kirby Falcon Punch song on loop in the background. It's the only song fit to close out our beloved Dojo.

Sure, why not. Maybe then SSB will be in 1080p HD sweetness

 

[Firestorm]

3 minutes!

Man your F5-stations!

Well, it was a chat on a Pokemon site and come to think of it we were screaming about Olimar with absolutely no context.

I play it on my radio show from time to time. Some people have even started requesting it.:lol

Smash Trivia

This Smash blog has spanned about 300 posts in almost 11 months, but now it is time to say goodbye.

Before creating this site, I knew I wanted it to be updated 5 days a week and support several languages. It was clear that this would be a massive scale for a website dedicated to a single game.

A lot of people around me were particularly concerned when I told them I planned to write blog posts while development was ongoing and continue to provide updates. Some argued, some just looked concerned, and others asked, "Can you really do this?!"

And all of the text in the articles was written by yours truly, Masahiro Sakurai. Make no mistake.

But the real credit for making the unthinkable possible should go to the Brawl staff who took screenshots and did follow-up work, and the Nintendo home-page staff who did the updates.

I also must thank the localization staff of Nintendo of America, who did the translation from Japanese to English, as well as the language specialists on the European production staff who handled the translation to several more languages.

I feel gratitude for those who helped that I can barely express in words. This site has been supported by so many staff members.

I created the Dojo with the intention of offering breaking news-type updates prior to the release of the game, and organizing the site so that it could be used as a database of features in the game after its release.

Now that Brawl is available, I am hoping that players will continue to use the site as a resource for information.

Also, there’s always a chance that I will need to update sometime in the future with some kind of announcement.

Thank you, everyone!

And so, Sakurai closes out with something especially relevant to this thread. STATS.

7 MILLION in one week?

Until then, SAKURAAAIIIII!!!!

ONE LAST MEGATON.

YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH MUSHROOMY KINGDOM STAGE YOU GET!

 

[Jiggy]

R.O.B.’s character symbol visually incorporates the design of R.O.B.’s gyros and the mark of the Subspace Emissary.

Mind blown.

Using Snake’s C4 packs while falling can occasionally prove useful as a recovery technique. Drop a pack straight beneath yourself, perform an accelerated fall to catch up with the pack, and then detonate the explosive. Snake will be propelled upward with the force of the explosion.

Hey, look. Dojo-approved!

 

[Cioran]

That's been one hell of a ride! Thanks for the entertainement

 

[crowphoenix]

Brings a tear to the eye, it does. I wonder what he was hinting at with that "I may need to update this site again."

 

[JonathanEx]

Now that Brawl is available, I am hoping that players will continue to use the site as a resource for information.

...But wait a second! The European version still isn’t out yet!! We’re still hard at work on it, so please hold on a little longer!

I want to hate the people responsible, but when Sakurai writes it...


And he actually wrote them all! Awesome.

 

[Kandinsky]

[MrCheez]

I LOVE YOU SAKURAI!!!!!!!

 

[Jiggy]

Brawl’s director, Masahiro Sakurai, provided the voice for King Dedede.

If I actually had mains, this just might make King Dedede mine.

 

[grandjedi6]

I kept hoping this thread would grow so big it would start reproducing asexually

 

[Duderz]

Brings a tear to the eye, it does. I wonder what he was hinting at with that "I may need to update this site again."

To put Mega Man in, of course.

So long, thread!

 

[Iam Canadian]

Sakurai voiced Dedede.

Astounding.

 

[MrCheez]

If I actually had mains, this just might make King Dedede mine.

Holy crap.

Dedede's voice freaking rocks too. Especially in his belly-slapping taunt.

"huuuar huuar huuar huuar huuar!!"

 

[Fenix]

Mind blown.

Oh... It’s true..

 

[Iam Canadian]

Holy crap.

Dedede's voice freaking rocks too. Especially in his belly-slapping taunt.

"huuuar huuar huuar huuar huuar!!"

"Jeeyump!"

 

[nli10]

I miss this thread - darn Euro release dates

 

[Ydahs]

;_; Thank you Sakurai.

...why no Europe date? ;_;

Goodbye thread. Goodbye cruel world.

 

[Firestorm]

I can't believe we didn' tknow this for so long.

And SAKURAI = DEDEDE :O :O :O :O

No more updates

"When Jigglypuff’s shield breaks, it is sent rocketing off the screen."

I found this out today.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

"7,150,000 users in one week (worldwide)"

Is this unique users or page visits? Either way, huge number for a week.

Goodbye Dojo.

 

[scottnak]

Holy crap that's a lot of awesome info @.@
Fitting end *sob*

 

[crowphoenix]

So long, Sakurai. Thanks for the game. It's amazing.

 

[MrCheez]

Snake is unique in that only he will utter one of several lines when he eats food.&#65288;For example, there’s a 1/100 chance that Snake will say "This is too good!"&#65289;

There are so many strange little touches in smash bros that also tend to be really rare :lol

 

[bob digi]

It's been a sweet ride. Final time up til 3.

 

[celebi23]

And now, I sleep. Thank you Sakurai for an amazing game

 

[Iam Canadian]

Yes, in the end, there's only one thing left really to say.

Thank you, Sakurai.

 

[RoboPlato]

It's been a great ride guys, it's been fun cementing this thread in GAF history.

 

[careksims]

Thanks for all the fish!
