I'm gonna predict a new character. IT'S ASHLEY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Iam Canadian]

She always needs a suit upgrade before she can move at more than like 25% speed underwater, and even then she's never been able to swim. Would have made some parts of Super Metroid and especially Metroid Prime 1 a lot easier, though, I admit. >_>

Well, the Space Jump (the proper Super Metroid version) more or less served the same purpose.

I predict a normal item tonight. Probably some E For All leftover. Are there any E For All items we haven't gotten updates for yet?

 

[BlueSummers]

Your just setting yourself up for a letdown :lol

 

[MrCheez]

Totally going to be something great! I have a feeling the lame-streak of updates finally ended mid-last week with the Mario Circuit update :O

 

[Fireblend]

Gotta love how people here are so used to letdowns, their predictions aren't more than movesets and any other better prediction is bashed. Sakurai, what have you done :lol

 

[Gaborn]

Your just setting yourself up for a letdown :lol

Only if I'm wrong :lol (which I have been so far...)

 

[A Link to the Past]

Predicting SSBDS with 2D visuals, game linking, and playable Starfy!

 

[Danthrax]

Gotta love how people here are so used to letdowns, their predictions aren't more than movesets and any other better prediction is bashed. Sakurai, what have you done :lol

The diminishing returns are stifling...

 

[Azuran]

I'm predicting a new, never before seen item.

 

[CoolS]

I predict a lot of hilarious bitching and whining after the update.

It's going to be SO much fun :lol

 

[Rindain]

I predict Snake or Zelda final smash.

 

[rollingstart]

some sort of event thing...or something

 

[QuickKick89]

Looks like it's something about new events. Sudden Death Events, if my German is correct.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Looks like something about events.

 

[Jiggy]

Can't read it, but it involves Event Matches and that means it's worthwhile.


Edit: Co-op YEAH!

 

[Danthrax]

Co-op events! And they're different from regular one-player events!!

Coin mode confirmation:

C-could this be a Coin battle?! With lots of notes...

That reminds me, there are Coin battles this time around, too. When you launch an opponent, you collect their money. The player with the most money at the end wins.


--and oh shit!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier that you can play Target Smash!! with two players simultaneously as well!

 

[Golden Darkness]

This time, Event matches can be played in two-player mode! Wow. This is a great game for couples.

When you press the Player 2 button here...

The two-player Events begin!

These are not battles – they’re co-operative play. So, you tackle the challenge of each Event together.

There are fewer two-player Events than single-player ones, but they each have different settings than the single-player matches.

Two Trouble Kings

Characters: Mario, Kirby

Battle together against Bowser and King Dedede!
This is a proper 2-on-2 match.

Master the Pokémon Tag Battle

Characters: Pokémon Trainer, Pikachu

This features Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, and one Pikachu.
It’s a tag battle with pretty much equal teams!

Fastest, Shortest, Sudden Death

Characters: Yoshi, King Dedede

See who can defeat the most enemies in just 10 seconds!!

ALL MINE!

Characters: Wario, Bowser

C-could this be a Coin battle?! With lots of notes...

That reminds me, there are Coin battles this time around, too. When you launch an opponent, you collect their money. The player with the most money at the end wins.

The fact that it isn’t bloodthirsty is nice.

Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier that you can play Target Smash!! with two players simultaneously as well!

Oh! I see! Delegation of duties is important!

Me, not Sakurai- Everything being Co-Op in Brawl, isn't it?

 

[FoneBone]

2-player co-op event mode.

 

[rollingstart]

AH NICE!!!

co op events! F' YEAH!

 

[KevinCow]

Two player events. Meh.

 

[JohnTinker]

Oh awesome!

 

[CoolS]

Two player events. Nice!

 

[Dreavus]

More about event matches. Yesssss!

 

[Iam Canadian]

Oh...co-op events.

Sweet.

Stealth Coin Mode update as well.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Co-op Events.

Fucking awesome.

 

[RoboPlato]

Awesome, co-op events and smash the targets.

 

[DrForester]

So, maybe the Pokemon Trainer's 3 pokemon can be selected as a single character?

 

[Greatness Gone]

This one was better than most, actually.

 

[JohnTinker]

Really nice screenshots in this update too

 

[ShockingAlberto]

What? No! Your disappointment sustains me, Dojo thread! Noooooooo

 

[kamikaze]

no mention of online for these co-op events? i'm only seeing the update in german.

 

[Iam Canadian]

We actually learned a lot this time around. Aside from co-op events, we also learned of co-op Target Test and the return of Coin Mode.

Not bad.

 

[Jiggy]

Didn't even notice the co-op Target Smash for a while.

 

[Insaniac]

end of decembore!

 

[Sharp]

Not a bad week so far!

 

[Hero]

So, maybe the Pokemon Trainer's 3 pokemon can be selected as a single character?

No, this is most definitely just CPU players probably being selected as Pokemon Trainer but only fighting with a certain Pokemon out for the event.

 

[CoolS]

no mention of online for these co-op events? i'm only seeing the update in german.

No, no online is mentioned.

 

[Dice]

Sweet, this rocks. And with that one screen it is sinking in for me how awesome it is to have Sonic and Diddy.

 

[Jiggy]

What? No! Your disappointment sustains me, Dojo thread! Noooooooo

I'll help.

The Pokemon Trainer's one alternate we've seen isn't a girl Pokemon Trainer or even the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Diamond/Pearl trainer. Opportunity lost!

 

[Dreavus]

Oh! Also stealth pokemon trainer alt colours!

Ahh, it looks like its just a pallet swap... =(

EDIT: beaten =P

 

[Danthrax]

This is the best update we've had in a month.

 

[Fireblend]

Well, it's ok, I wouldn't complain. Looks like we're starting to get worthwhile updates once again! Hurray for December!

 

[haircut]

So, maybe the Pokemon Trainer's 3 pokemon can be selected as a single character?

Probly two pokemon trainers in that match.

 

[rikichi]

so far so good this week

 

[Golden Darkness]

I'll help.

The Pokemon Trainer's one alternate we've seen isn't a girl Pokemon Trainer or even the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Diamond/Pearl trainer. Opportunity lost!

Looks like we only got the trainer's colors. He does resemble the Emerald Male with those colors.

 

[CoolS]

Well, it's ok, I wouldn't complain. Looks like we're starting to get worthwhile updates once again! Hurray for December!

I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet ^^

 

[ShockingAlberto]

No, this is most definitely just CPU players probably being selected as Pokemon Trainer but only fighting with a certain Pokemon out for the event.

The CPU players are Ivysaur and Pikachu. Charizard and the other Pikachu are player controlled.

 

[Iam Canadian]

I also notice that despite the presence of alternate costumes for the Pokemon Trainer, the actual Pokemon's colours don't seem to differ much. That might get confusing in a battle with multiple Pokemon Trainers.

 

[Rindain]

With consecutive Ice Climber music, Mario Circuit, Waluigi/Stafy double update, and now Co-op Events updates I'd say Decembore is officially over.

 

[KevinCow]

No, this is most definitely just CPU players probably being selected as Pokemon Trainer but only fighting with a certain Pokemon out for the event.

The portrait changes when you switch Pokemon, like when you're playing stock in Melee and you change from Zelda to Sheik, your little character pictures that show how much stock you have left change.

Something interesting about that picture, though:

Alternate Pokemon Trainer costume in the background. Yet Ivysaur looks no different from how he normally does.
