how many new characters was there in Melee compared to the original again? I forgot.

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

You can float in midair!

......................... wtf.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Blah, item update.

Atleast this pic was entertaining:

"UM, EXCUSE ME...

WTF R U DOIN?"

 

[Varjet]

Is the golden hammer from any specific Mario game? It looks kind of like one of the hammers in Paper Mario.

Could also be the Super Hammer from Donkey Kong '94.

 

[Jiggy]

14.

 

[SantaC]

I like golden hammer

 

[grandjedi6]

This item is actually pretty cool

 

[ohamsie]

Could also be the Super Hammer from Donkey Kong '94.

Ah yeah, I think that's it.

 

[SantaC]

14.

cool, how many new are we up to now in brawl compared to melee?

 

[Firestorm]

Woah, was so busy updating Pokemon tournament I was late for update!

Interesting.. kinda. Not like I'll see it much.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

I dunno, I always thought it was an Axe though.

 

[SantaC]

it's was an axe.

 

[ohamsie]

Is it me or does Bowser look like he has a bosom in this picture?

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

They've announced 7 on the site, but it's 8 including Snake.

 

[PkunkFury]

14.

but this includes 6 clones... we already have 8 new characters (7 revealed + Snake) to brawl, which is the same number of unique movesets added to Melee. Plus Pokemon Trainer is almost like 3 characters, so you cloud argue there are 9 new characters revealed. At any rate, it seems Brawl will feel like a much bigger update

 

[apotema]

Nice, this will be great for Multiplayer

 

[AceBandage]

Is it me or does Bowser look like he has a bosom in this picture?

Man boobs.
Or in his case, Turtle Boobs.

 

[Jiggy]

This is a random thought because of the tame update, but I wonder how much text on the Dojo site has been translated into English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. There's probably been more translation work done on this site making zero profit (in and of itself) than it would have taken to port over several Japan-only games to VC or whatever. Unusual for Nintendo, but then, I guess this is Sakurai's baby.

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

:lol Entertaining item ! Can someone photoshop it ?

 

[Lobster]

You can totally tell Sakurai is leaving the last update for Snake..bastard.

 

[JonathanEx]

 

[SantaC]

They've announced 7 on the site, but it's 8 including Snake.

It's probably going to be more than 14

 

[Insaniac]

thats gold jerry, gold!

 

[JonathanEx]

 

[Capndrake]

It's from Wrecking Crew, fuck yeah. (Note the green pedestal)

 

[Lobster]

lol!

 

[SantaC]

It's from Wrecking Crew, fuck yeah. (Note the green pedestal)

was there a golden hammer in wrecking crew? cool

I just noticed how huge Wario's head is :lol

 

[kamikaze]

golden hammer seems cool...now just let me know if there'll be a roy/marth character so i can jump into them again with a down-b counter!

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

havent had a good update in forever = /

 

[SovanJedi]

Squeaksqueaksqueaksqueak!


...Squeak.

 

[DDayton]

It's from Wrecking Crew . . . . (Note the green pedestal)

I think you're right.... and in Wrecking Crew, you could also run over gaps if you tapped the button repeatedly while carrying the gold hammer.

I bow before your knowledge

 

[Dreavus]

Hmm, a second hammer with a very similar function to the regular hammer (except for the floating part) seems a bit redundant, but I guess it's pretty wacky nonetheless.

I wonder if you can still interrupt someone using the hammer and make them drop it like you could in melee. Am I the only person who tried to carefully attack the hammer wielder between swings rather than run like I'm supposed to? :lol

 

[Hours Left]

Video of the Golden Hammer in Wrecking Crew:

P.S. Now I really want to play Wrecking Crew.

 

[Branduil]

was there a golden hammer in wrecking crew? cool

I just noticed how huge Wario's head is :lol

He could tear off Peach's head in one bite.

 

[SantaC]

wtf Wrecking Crew had a sequel in 1998?

[BGBW]

Wow, I completely forgot to check Japan Time till now.

Double the hammers, double the chaos.

 

[Capndrake]

wtf Wrecking Crew had a sequel in 1998?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eood0Yh1_ng&mode=related&search=

Yeah, it's good, but it's nothing like Wrecking Crew at all (It's more like Panel De Pon) except for the fact it's about destruction and has some of the same characters. It includes the original Wrecking Crew too btw.

Oh yeah, and it had kickass music as well.

 

[Frozen Fire]

I don't know why we need a second hammer, but the flying makes it easier to hit people. Before, with the limited jump, If you were high enough you didn't need to do anything. Now, you really have to dodge! :lol

On the other hand, I hope that they don't make it overpowered.

Spoiler

Although I usally play with items off

 

[psycho_snake]

Good update. The hammer was one of my favourite weapons, but its so annoying when another character gets it and you're on the receiving end .

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

I love the hammer sound

 

[Haunted]

So we have the normal hammer returning and the new golden hammer confirmed. Nice. The hammer is one of the most hilarious items in Melee, especially when it malfunctions. Good times, good times.


...squeak squeak squeak.

I think it's really more like floating than flying. Looks like you just continue on the X-axis in midair, you can't take off and fly around the screen.

 

[rollingstart]

nice item, but it would have been cool if it was a Megaton Hammer instead

 

[Gee]

There is only one hammer:

 

[SuperAngelo64]

There is only one hammer:

Funny, I see four.

 

[Gee]

Funny, I see four.

Well smash brothers does support up to 4 characters

 

[Shig]

Funny, I see four.

We really need to talk about your drinking problem.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

THERE ARE 4 HAMMERS

 

[SuperAngelo64]

We really need to talk about your drinking problem.

You think this is bad? Wait until you see me when "No Sonic" is announced.

 

[Haunted]

squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak!

You think this is bad? Wait until you see me when "No Sonic" is announced.

Well, that's the worst thing about it. "No Sonic" won't be announced, you'll never know it until you hold the final game in your hands and discover that he is not an unlockable character.

dun dun duuuun!
