Squirtle's Up B FTW.

 

[Haunted]

wow, nice water effects.

I'm not a pokemon aficionado, but I guess these attacks are taken from the anime/games? Good stuff.

 

[Shadowmancer]

I agree that PO's final smash should be a combined attack by all the pokemon.

 

[Visualante]

That boulder is appauling.

 

[ShinNL]

Cool, you can see that Squirtle is a lot more mobile than the heavy type Charizard. Both Squirtle's special attacks move Squirtle and both Charizard's special attacks do not move Charizard at all.

Edit: Oh, there's no way Ivysaur won't have Razorleaf as Side+B. That will make it a projectile type along with the two other special attacks. Wow awesome.

 

[Hitman]

This has to be like the Wii's second only real KILLER APP.

 

[SixStringPsycho]

I guess the trainer didn't have a very high level badge...

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Odinson]

PT is going to be a very versatile character. I'm going to predict that squirtles <b move> is water gun, Ivysaur <side B> is razor leaf, and charizards <up b> is either seismic toss or some flying type move.

 

[woxel1]

How could anyone doubt Pokemon Trainer =O He's the most unique character to pop up since Ice Climbers.

And come ooonnnn Belly Drum!

There will be no breeding in Smash Brothers.

Spoiler

Or will there?

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Belly Drum could be an awesome Final Smash.

Insane Max Attack power for a few seconds and then once the smash ends you take like 50 pts of damage.

I imagine some will try their hardest, using the screenshot utility and ZSS

So let my get this straight. The Pokemon Trainer actually stands at the back while you fight with one pokemon at a time (and swap em with down-B)?

 

[sc0la]

As has already been said a number of times these look awesome. There are some neat new ideas here too. Area affects with up+b (waterfall)
and upward firing projectiles which will be interesting to use when guarding air attacks. Can't wait to spam Ivysaur's grab + up throw + bullet seed

So let my get this straight. The Pokemon Trainer actually stands at the back while you fight with one pokemon at a time (and swap em with down-B)?

Correct. the Trainer never directly participates.

Yup, that's exactly it.

 

[Saitou]

I like the dramatic poses he puts up in the background.

 

[Akinola]

so is your spelling,

really diggin' those water effects, though.

 

[CreatureX3]

The Pokemon's moves look cool. I can't wait to see their final smash moves.

 

[ohamsie]

I'm still pretty hyped for playable Charizard. It was always my favorite pokemon, and I imagine it will be a heavy character like Bowser, but with the ability to make multiple jumps like Kirby and Kid Icarus, which seems like it would be a fun playstyle.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

A bit off topic, but as for myself, my favorite Pokemon has always been Mewtwo. Seeing all this awesome Pokemon stuff going in-game is making me hope and pray that he's still in!!! :[

 

[Threi]

PT looks interesing, but right now i still want to play as diddy the most.

 

[Akinola]

A little off topic, or IS IT? Some Dueling Analogs to get us more in the mood.

 

[psycho_snake]

PT is looking to be my character of choice. He just looks so incredibly fun to play as. Very nice update today =)

yeah I can see myself using pokemon trainer quite often, but Link will still be my preferred character.

 

[psycho_snake]

They can't add anyone from FF7. Nintendo says the character has to have appeared on a Nintendo system. And if someone from FF7 does make it in by some strange chance, you can bet your sweet bippy that a FF7 remake is on its way to the Wii or the DS. I shant open that can of worms, though.

It would be a really good surprise if they did include a FF7. I'm probably the only person who would like to see barret as the FF7 character in brawl instead of cloud or sephiroth.

Its pointless to think about it though, I cant see any FF character being included in brawl

 

[Insaniac]

i wonder how similar charizard's standard firebreath is to bowsers standard firebreathing.... New standard B move for bowser maybe?

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Just a heads up on the FF7 thing. Technically it is possible since Cloud was in Chain of Memories for GameBoy Advance.


But ridiculously unlikely.

That would make charizard one hell of a chracter. He would basically be a fast version of Bowser.

 

[A Link to the Past]

In response to an earlier post: I'm betting Charizard's Flamethrower will work like it did in SSBM.

Anyway, the moveset seems fine, but could be better.

Bullet Seed - eh, I'm sure it's good under certain circumstances, but it should've been Razor Leaf. Well, at least have Razor Leaf be his side + B move.

Withdraw - Eh? Why not Rapid Spin? Withdraw isn't even an attack.

Rock Smash - An HM? Why not, say, Fire Fang? I dunno, Rock Smash just seems boring.

This is what I had for their moveset before this announcement:

Squirtle:

B: Bubblebeam
Smash B: Rapid Spin
Up B: Waterfall
Down B: Switch
Final Smash: Surf

Ivysaur:

B: Razor Leaf
Smash B: Energy Ball
Up B: Leaf Storm (causes him to rise into the air)
Down B: Switch
Final Smash: Solar Beam

Charizard:

B: Flamethrower
Smash B: Fire Fang
Up B: Fly
Down B: Switch
Final Smash: Sunny Day (makes Flamethrower and Fire Fang exponentially more powerful)

That would make charizard one hell of a chracter. He would basically be a fast version of Bowser.

Well remember - you have to switch out of Charizard eventually.

POKEMON TRAINER SPECIAL MOVES

HOLY SHIT SIX OF THEM

Yoshi's expression says that he is considering this shell as a piece of cake....

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Fuck yeah, I was right.

 

[Firestorm]

There will be no breeding in Smash Brothers.

Spoiler

Or will there?

To play Pokemon Trainer to his full potential you must breed the Pokemon for IVs and Natures and then EV train them.

I'd probably kill myself.

 

[psycho_snake]

I knew about that. It would be the one downside about charizard; you wont be able to use him throughout the whole battle.

 

[Haunted]

I expect a disappointing update tomorrow. Probably a boring music update or some trite.


Also, why does no one mention Phoenix Wright as a playable 3rd party character?

Spoiler

been playing too much GS3 lately. >_<

[grandjedi6]

Withdraw - Eh? Why not Rapid Spin? Withdraw isn't even an attack.
.

Since the shell does move along the ground I'm expecting it to be more like Yoshi's Smash B in Melee. Its probably going to be like Rapid Spin only they choose a more well known attack

 

[Firestorm]

I'm going to miss the update tonight and tomorrow since I'll be on a Greyhound bus.
I better find some WiFi in the middle of no where.

 

[G-Fex]

So since trainers in background that means no one can hurt him physically? Or maybe he'll faint like you do in the pokemon games when you lose a battle.:lol

He'll probably just vanish when you lose

 

[Dr.Hadji]

I don't think that's what he'll do at all. If it's a stock game, then the game would end right when the last Pokemon is killed. This would leave little time to see PT disappear or show any other kind of reaction.

I think Sakurai is going to bring back the free frame zoom in camera finish instead of just slapping "GAME" on the screen. If he does this, there is an opportunity for finishing taunts or other animations. If that happens, I imagine PT will run on the field and give Squirtle a hug and toss him up in the air.

or run up to Charizard and break his back trying to lift him.


I've never really thought about it and always assumed GAME! would just appear again when the fight's over. Maybe Sakurai'll change it up for Brawl, though.

I love squirters!

Uh, how about for those that don't play 1-on-1? =)

 

[Firestorm]

It becomes a 1v1 once the other player(s) are gone.

 

[Zeed]

It becomes a 1v1 once the other player(s) are gone.

What if the Pokemon Trainer loses first? That's the question here - what happens to him in the background after all his Pokemon are gone?

I think he'll probably flop to the ground looking glum or something.

 

[CreatureX3]

I'll predict a stage tonight. I want to see a Metroid stage, but I think we'll get the pokemon stage.

 

[DeceitDecide]

I just have one question. And I mean this totally seriously. Does Nintendo hate us? I mean... cause the lack of official confirmation of online mode in this game makes me feel completley abused. As though Nintendo, as a corporation, is fully aware of the fact that they're toying with my emotions. Seriously, Nintendo. Why do you hate me?

 

[Raw64life]

Just start being disappointed now. That way when they get around to confirming no online you wont be as angry.
