The problem with using mage, chocobo or a moogle is that it wouold be difficult to make an original moveset for them because they're not so heavily involved in the FF games.

We've had a playable Moogle in the form of Mog in Final Fantasy VI. Surely Sakurai can make a moveset out of that.

photo mode. Nice little feature, I guess. Can't wait for Segata to spam everyone with shots of Sonic beating up Nintendo mascots. >_<

So, what's the last thing people wanted? A level editor?

alternate costumes.

Off-topic but why did you change your avatar It's probably the same character but now I find it harder to enjoy your posts

I didn't know someone enjoys my posts. Why is it harder now? I got bored looking at the same picture all the time, so I've switched it up a bit. The original avatar is still in the image rotation and the others are still Red Harlow in various forms.

 

[Zeed]

I know others disagree, but I'd like Sora to be SE's rep in brawl.

They disagree because Sora belongs to Disney, not SE.

Atleast you don't have people telling you they hate your avatar with a 'passion that burns like a thousand suns'!


Also: I really don't believe Sora belongs to Disney.

 

[Haunted]

I doubt a Square-Enix representative will make it in if they'll Megaman confirmed beforehand. That would make him the third 3rd party character.... four 3rd party characters in the game sounds preposterous. I hope they manage.

Now that's just mean. A couple hundred suns, alright, but a thousand? Undeserved hate. :/

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Megaman will not be in this game because..

...because..


Oh, fuck it!!

I WANT TO BELIEVE!!


Also: I'm browsing through the official copyright records website to find out who really has the rights to the character Sora, since I'm actually not positive.

I am about 60% sure that Square can do whatever the hell they want with Sora as long as he doesn't display any Disney stuff (i.e. the Disney Keychain on his keyblade).

 

[Haunted]

Megaman will not be in this game because..

Oh, fuck it!!

That's the spirit! Buying the game three times is a one-time expense, but then you'll have Megaman in the game of the forever.

 

[Insaniac]

Snapshots! Finally. It should've been obvious to put this in the game since the first SSB. and thank god for saving to SD cards

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Oh fuck!! That's right!!!!

My bet is halfway complete!!

SHIT!


Also: I hope they unveil Mewtwo soon. I want my Mario&Mewtwo sprite avatar so I can be one of the cool kids. :[

 

[Fireblend]

I'd actually like to see Klonoa more than Megaman. Nintendo did that Mario Kart GP game with Namco last year, didn't they? That's the only character I need now. :lol

 

[SouthernDragon]

Sorry. : (

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I dunno. Klonoa would be too good. He has that ring of his that can grab opponents and toss them out of the match

 

[jts]

Sorry. : (

Just make sure you have enough megatons left to keep current hype level until February. Thank you.

 

[UpperCaseN]

The problem with using mage, chocobo or a moogle is that it wouold be difficult to make an original moveset for them because they're not so heavily involved in the FF games. If Nintendo did decide to include one of those three, then best thing to do is to make them into assist characters.

the problem with using any of these characters, is that none of them are Geno from Super Mario RPG. Am I the only one hoping for this?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

alternate costumes.

Already in to some extent.

Best logic I've heard all week.


Also:

After watching this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7wcG5gY1mc&mode=user&search=

20 times with headphones at the highest volume. I'm almost 80% positive that the background music is the Fire Emblem main theme with sung choral lyrics.

I'm hoping we get it in a music update Monday, I love epic choral music and that cantata-sound, I was hoping there'd be more of that sound in the game other than the main theme.

Edit: After watching it 5 more times I am 95% sure.

 

[TheKingsCrown]

This mode is actually really cool, one of my favorite things to do in brawl was pause the game and zoom in to see what was happening. So many ridiculous things happen in the game and the fact that I can now screen shot them instead of using a digital camera is huge.

I wonder if that last thing in the screens has to do with editing the pictures or something.

lolz @ Yoshi/Mario and Kirby

 

[Cioran]

You know what Square character could be fun in SSBB?

Cid!

They should make a mix of the different Cid characters and have him summon the airship as a final smash

 

[Nexus Zero]

I'm hoping the final unlockable is Miyamoto.

 

[Somnid]

Is this the first game we know about to directly access the SD card?

 

[fallengorn]

Is this the first game we know about to directly access the SD card?

Custom soundtracks were in Excite Truck via SD card.

 

[Haunted]

Already in to some extent.

Where can I see this in more detail?

 

[Teasel]

someone should put all the new info we learned from the trailer and the demo on the OP

 

[John Harker]

What, you guys want this flyin magic-usin guy in Smash?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Where can I see this in more detail?

Some IGN impressions that offhandedly mentioned Dark Link being Link's alt. costume.

There was also one of Metaknight with dark red glowing eyes.

 

[OliveJuice]

I think the last one is for caption.

 

[Version 3.0]

Is this the first game we know about to directly access the SD card?

It's the first one, I think, to allow you to write anything to the SD card. Excite Truck lets you use MP3's from it.

This snapshot update makes me very happy! I have a bunch of shots on my PC that are pictures of my TV taken with my digital camera. It always felt so silly to have to do that in a game that has a snapshot mode. Now that it's properly integrated, well...yay!

Examples:

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I think the last one is for caption.

Why on earth would they have difficulty implementing captions?

 

[OliveJuice]

I don't know censorship? However, after implementing Wi-fi battles anything else should be a piece of cake.

 

[Teasel]

I think the last one is for caption.

probably the last one let you use sticker on your snapshots

 

[Version 3.0]

I'd guess the last one is edit mode, system wallpaper, or send to a photo album website of some sort.

 

[OliveJuice]

probably the last one let you use sticker on your snapshots

That makes sense too.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Most of you have awful, awful ideas.

 

[Threi]

"Send to DS"?

 

[Haunted]

Some IGN impressions that offhandedly mentioned Dark Link being Link's alt. costume.

Didn't they include palette swaps in Melee to make it easier to discern players of the same team (when playing team Melee)? If they kept that, it would be difficult for the various alternate costumes to all be in proper team colours. (green/red/blue/forgot the fourth one in Melee). hm.

I'd guess the last one is edit mode, system wallpaper, or send to a photo album website of some sort.

Yeah, I'm calling edit mode.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Yeah, I'm calling edit mode.

The Wii has a built-in edit mode.

I don't see a point to having one in Smash.

 

[Insaniac]

why does sakurai say "remember to tap the control stick to smash"?

seems kinda weird

 

[Sharp]

Considering what he said about how the feature might not be implemented, it suggests an element of complexity that most haven't mentioned yet. I actually think it might be some sort of "video" mode that allows you to record your Smash battles. Now, hear me out, it wouldn't actually be a video recording--that would be incredibly wasteful and slow down the battle--but it would record player inputs and random events like item drops, like rerecording in PC games and in emulators. This would be both supremely awesome and take an incredible amount of testing to implement, so I think it fits the bill!

While I don't seriously expect the above to happen, it would be an amazing surprise and would add a whole new dimension to Smash play. Pro players would be pretty happy, I'm guessing.

Edit: And when I say "most haven't mentioned yet" I mean "I didn't read far back enough."

That's a great idea. They used it in Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Do you mean the same kind of thing that VF4 Evo has in its Training Mode ?

Most people take a while to get it when they're new to the game. They try to smash and all they get are tilt attacks.

 

[Sharp]

Rerecording in SNES games is about a billion times easier than rerecording input as complex as that of the Wii controller. It would have to be a special, Smash-specific implementation, and thus would require plenty of testing, especially for desynchronization as there are going to be a lot of people with the game and a lot of unhappy people if it doesn't work in fringe cases. The problem is going to be particularly acute if it tries to work online, as millisecond timing differences could drastically affect the resultant movie.

Do you mean the same kind of thing that VF4 Evo has in its Training Mode ?

Possibly? I haven't played it so I don't know. It's really the only viable option for video in Brawl, though; actual movie recording would slow down the game so much it wouldn't even be funny.

 

[Insaniac]

i want it to be replay feature

 

[Wrestlemania]

Do you mean the same kind of thing that VF4 Evo has in its Training Mode ?

No, he means like Halo 3's theatre mode. It would be a lot easier to implement than that though, so I don't think it's all that unlikely.

That's true. Maybe with the years since Mario Kart 64, maybe they won't stop recording if you get hit by a thwomp. :lol

But a replay mode would be great, so you can recover classic moments.

 

[John Harker]

Do you think that now announcing Sonic deminishes Snake's appearance in Smash?

 

[Neomoto]

Interesting how you can have (first party) Wii games that let you choose between saving on the flash memory and SD cards.

Nice update. A reply mode would be incredible awesome for a game such as Brawl, I'm not expecting it but it would make this game that much more awesome..

 

[Iam Canadian]

There was also one of Metaknight with dark red glowing eyes.

Sounds like the mirror Meta-Knight from Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.

 

[MisterHero]

Do you think that now announcing Sonic deminishes Snake's appearance in Smash?

Heck no. Though Sonic is a huge industry icon with his known rivalry with Mario. Snake does not have that kind of starpower, but he is still in some of the best games ever.

Also, Snake is still a Kyle Reese ripoff.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Snake had the advantage of pure shock value on his side. Seriously, I don't think anybody watching that original trailer was thinking that Solid Snake, of all people, would appear in Brawl. He'll be notable if only for that.

 

[MindCollizion]

Whoa, so like HALO 3 thread is doneskies.

Anywho, Snake's appearance in Brawl on the first trailer ever was the most shocking shocking thing EVER. People have always been speculating about Sonic in Smash Bros. but not so much with Snake which took the world by storm. Sonic is still a fine addition but let's not forget how big of an impact the announcement of Snake caused all over the world.
