When Sakurai says changes, he's probably just referring to small details, like the exact distance between platform A and platform B, for example.
Perhaps tweaking them to better accommodate Final Smashes, etc.

Wow, really? This is the only level that me and my friends played, except my annoying friend who made us play on final destination with no items. he'd ruin the game for us ;[
malfunky i dont remember an extra floating platform in the bottom right corner in SSBM, that seems weird.

This level was fun for messing around with friends. I wouldn't want to fight on it for a serious match, though.
It's interesting to speculate on how Final Smashes will work here. Pretty much any Final Smash that involves things coming from above (PK Starstorm, Pit's centurions) seem like they'd be easily avoided simply by heading for the lower area. Of course, this could conceivably add an element of strategy as the Final Smash user tries to keep players out of the bottom region. Samus' giant laser of death also seems like it would be of limited use here. Trying to get Fox's Landmaster to negotiate the terrain would be a nightmare as well.
I see now how the Brawl stages are designed to make Final Smashes a more viable option because they sure don't look too good on Temple.

I think I've listened to the new track at least a dozen times now.

Also, the fire emblem theme was my favorite music in SSBM so this update = fucking awesome

Download link for the music.
It's a lot better than the Melee version of the theme, I think

hahah, excellent. Lots of fond memories on Hyrule Temple. Great Temple isn't the best track from the series (Hyrule Castle please, Sakurai), but it sounds nice enough.
This makes it really obvious just how much more work they're putting into the backgrounds for the new stages for Brawl though. This is barren compared to some of the visual wonders they've shown off in every other stage so far.
The only difference I can see is that the small bottom right platform is a bit larger. Every other inconsistency looks like the result of slightly different camera angles and better texture filtering.

It's alright, but they already have a bunch of similar big lower platform plus three pass-through floating platform levels. The only thing that really makes unique is Whispy Woods.Jiggy37 said:
Also, I really hope that if we get Fourside, they fix it so the camera doesn't zoom out every time the damn helicopter takes off or the UFO appears.

Well, there is a lot of repetition and lack of overall originally in more stages than I would like (Delfino, Yoshi, Smashville, Rumble, NORFAIR).

Wow the textures are so much sharper! Sakurai for president!

It does indeed silence me. As long as Temple is in Brawl, I don't care what any of the other stages are like, I'll be happy.
Seriously.

Delfino, judging from the videos, is one of the most inventive stages I've seen so far.
It's like Mute City, but with a lot more variety.

Reader input needed!
-November concludes with what I think I'm calling the 7th and 8th Zelda updates. No, they don't use the Triforce symbol. No, the music isn't its own separate section (so I won't count it as a "double" update officially, just two updates packed into one). Yes, I know the idea was to convey that old stages will be returning. But still, these updates seem to me to be Zelda through and through, and I'm willing to call them so if consensus will agree with me. (At least the consensus of people who actually read these posts of mine in the first place.) By my count, Zelda forges ahead to tie with Star Fox and Donkey Kong as fourth-most-updated series.
Reader question 1: Do you consider this a double update?
Reader question 2: Do you consider this single/double update to be Zelda-related?
Edit: After some discussion, let's say this is the 7th Zelda update only, for the music but not the Temple, which is merely an example. In this case, Zelda still breaks away from Kid Icarus, Metroid, Fire Emblem, and Metal Gear, all tied at 6 a piece, but stays behind Star Fox and Donkey Kong.
-Legend of Zelda actually hadn't received an update since August 20th, so a long winter has been broken there, and the five least-recently-updated series are now F-Zero, Yoshi, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, and Sonic.
-Stages move up to 18 and are once again tied with final smashes for third-most-common update type, just ahead of how to play and perhaps...
-Music. Music is in an interesting situation. I could say it's at 15 updates or at 17, depending on whether I count the Cooking Navi and Hyrule Temple music. In the past I've tended to include Cooking Navi, so I'll allow for Hyrule Temple as well. But let's just settle this once and for all, as I put forward the thought:
Reader question 3: Should these music updates be counted even though they don't have their own separate section on the Dojo?
-The five least recent update types are now Poke Ball, character profile, story mode, moves, and normal item.
-39 days of updates remain until the Japanese release date.

Stealth double update. Basically, if you considered the Cooking Navi music and Target Test/replays updates double, classify this as the same thing.
Jiggy37 said:
First update: no. Second update: yes.

I would say yes.

Norfair sucks, but I think Delfino and Rumble falls are some of the more original stages we've seen in a Smash game, and Yoshi's Island is so beautiful it doesn't even matter how it's laid out.
Besides, stage editor means you can take matters into your own hands if the Smash team's designs aren't doing it for you.
Reader question 1: Do you consider this a double update?
yep!
Reader question 2: Do you consider this single/double update to be Zelda-related?
yeah, why not
Reader question 3: Should these music updates be counted even though they don't have their own separate section on the Dojo?
I'd say so, yeah, I mean, they offer us everything that a normal music update would
-39 days of updates remain until the Japanese release date.
It's funny, the wait doesn't seem so bad when you put it this way.
I guess because by the time of the japanese release we will end up learning everything about the game anyway.

This is great; Hyrule Temple was my favorite stage in SSBM. I wish they would graphically update these stages though. In SSBM, the classic N64 stages were fine because you could tell that they were from the N64, so they looked "retro" instead of dated. Because the graphical jump from GCN to Wii is not very big, in my opinion, the stages look slightly worse instead of "classic".
Jiggy37 said:
1: No, it's technically in one update post. But it relates to two different categories -- stages and music -- so both of those categories should get a +1. But "Zelda updates" only gets +1, not +2, because again this is technically one update post.
2: Yes. But like I said, +1 not +2.
3: Yes. They're both technically pieces of content added to the site.
Someone explain the thread title to me before the (ethnically) Jewish portion of my family disowns me for not getting it.
