Smash Bros Brawl Dojo Official Update Thread: Goodbye, Cherry-don

What I find even more surprising than the fact that there's a Prime stage is the fact that it actually resembles the area it's supposed to be depicting, unlike every other Metroid level.
 
FIRESTORM maybe there is a chance we'll get Chozo ruins now :O (assuming that Brawl has more than 2 stages per franchise, unlike Melee)
 
This cool stage actually has me disappointed, because it makes it unlikely that I'll see a Phendrana drifts, or a Sanctuary Fortress stage. Similarly I also feels disappointed that I won't really be able to play co-op event matches much or at all. :(

Is it Pokey or Porky? Or is this one of those Stafy/Starfy things?

He was called Pokey in
Mother 2
. However, the name "Porky" does fit with his personality as throughout
Mother 2
he is frequently likened to a pig. "Pokey" may have been a mistranslation.

:lol

So much for Prime not being acknowledged! Amazing timing, that.

OMG! Sakurai recognizing Metroid Prime! Frigate Orpheon looks so cool. I love it. :D

Mother/Earthbound music is amazing as well.

Awesome double update! :D :D

Wow, I really wasn't expecting anything from Prime, simply because of that interview with Retro saying they were never approached by Sakurai's team. :O
Click to expand...

that interview was pretty old if I remember correctly, also some of the Japan Metroid folks were inovlved in the Primes, and Sakurai may have gone through them
 
Very cool. A good stage AND a good BGM track! We suffered through a number of weeks, and now getting some good stuff back to back!

So, I'm hoping that both of the contents of this update means we can stand to get more Mother 3 goodness, and maybe even some more Prime content too. Of course...the only thing I really care about from Prime is Meta-Ridley and Omega-Ridley...the latter would be a most EXCELLENT "Giga Bowser" like transformation, assuming Ridley did get in at all. :D

As for Mother 3? Well, here's to hoping that maybe Klaus and/or his alter ego stand to get into the picture, too. Getting both of the twins would definitely go a long way to making up for the loss of Ness, if such a thing were true.

I find it interesting that Pokey's name is translated as Porky on the English site.

After the way they handled Stafy a few days ago, I guess it's safe to presume that the localization team gets some liberties when it comes to the translation.

Besides, phonetically, Porky and Pokey are pronounced the same way...plus I always thought "Porky" was probably what was intended in the first place, prior to Dan Owsen's translation, who may have missed the in-joke...

Seriously!

Now we just need a Metroid stage in a natural environment, i.e. Phendrana Drifts.

If not, I'm happy with these. :)

The problem with Metroid is there are waaay too many environments in the series that would make awesome freaking stages.

I still want the surface of Zebes from Super Metroid as a stage :O (You know... right where you land at the beginning of the game...) You could fight on top of Samus' ship and there could be heavy rain the whole battle!
 
Love the stage and song.

Amirox will surely cream his pants and then some at the Mother song.
:D
 
Urgh, why does part of the Mother 3 track sound so god damn familiar to me? The 7 note trumpet jingle that plays throughout the song, including slowly at the end... it sounds sooo familiar, but i can't place it
 
Someone tell Amir0x about the update!

Also I wish they would make a (mother2/earthbound spoiler)
Moonside
level. People who have never played the game wouldn't know WTF was going on :lol
 
This game just needs a second Mother character
and Capt. Falcon
to be perfect. Please, Sakurai.

Also, Sakurai reads GAF confirmed. Perfect timing.

Now I can hope for Phendrana Drifts to be an unlockable stage. Or Tallon IV Cruise! That would be sweet.
Click to expand...
I would love that, but I'd be surprised if we got more than one stage from Metroid Prime. Any more Metroid stages would probably be from SR388, B.S.L., or Aether.

But then, earlier tonight I said I'd be surprised if we got anything related to the Prime series.

I think they picked the frigate because no one in Japan got passed the first level

I like that the power goes out! I hope it actually flickers to completely dark occasionally
 
This stage also has the coolest name ever. It would make a great name for a band in Rock Band!

Well, I dunno, but this song reminds me of FFIX for some reason :lol
 
Which is more impressive? That Sakurai actually included MP content in spite of evidence to the contrary, or that Jiggy's incredible grasp of statistics is starting to successfully predict Sakurai's moves?

Neat update, though I have no particular interest in the Prime series. The song doesn't really sound like stage music though. Perhaps the SSE has some music to call its own?

Again, I can only think that, with all the Mother 3 loving that this game stands to have, that we'll probably get both Lucas and Klaus/Masked Boy, to say the least. If Ness remains in, then that would make the total Mother load to 3 characters. I think that would be fine.

Honestly, I hope this game is a great vehicle to push Mother 3. It may be the only way that NoA will FINALLY get the game FRIGGIN' TRANSLATED ALREADY. I mean, hey, if Melee worked for Fire Emblem...

I'm just happy they're finally making a bloody Metroid stage that isn't full of acid/lava.

It can be patched.

EDIT: A stage that flips kind of opens up the playing field for a stage with Galaxy mechanics, don't it?

Interesting theory. Pokey (I'm going to call him that, I've been calling him that since 1995) is definitely a good candidate for a Subspace villain and that song might play in cutscenes featuring him. Now that you mention it, it really doesn't sound like stage music. It was Pokey's theme song in Mother 3 and I can see it performing the same function here.

They are both equally impressive! :D

After the DK rap, any song can be stage music (Ashley's Theme)! :lol
 
I forgot my personal rankings yesterday. >_>


Game mode updates:
Stage Builder > Four Kinds of Control > Wi-Fi Play > Replays > Names > Taking Snapshots > Spectator > Events > Options > Target Smash > Co-op Events > Homerun Contest > Controls > With Anyone/Basic Brawl > Special Brawl > Trophies > Rotation > Stickers > co-op Target Smash > Tourney > Classic > Coin Mode > Friend List > Widescreen Support > Training > Handicaps


Music updates:
My Music > The Musicians > Fire Emblem Theme > Ashley's Theme > Go K.K. Rider! > Pokemon Stadium/Evolution > Ocarina of Time Medley > Ice Climber > Meta Knight's Revenge > MGS4 Love Theme > Hyrule Temple > The Underworld > X: Tunnel Scene > Ridley Fight > Porky's Theme > Yoshi's Story > Space Armada > Donkey Kong > Cooking Navi > SSBB Main Theme

Edit: I should really clarify, this is somewhat relative to the impact of the update--which is why I'm rating updates, not only the music itself. Thus the SSBB main theme had zero impact because I'd already heard it, and meanwhile the vocal stuff is way up there.


I'm not listing stages again, but Frigate Orpheon is my ninth favorite stage update so far. :D Note, ninth favorite stage update--so I'm talking about the impact of the update, not necessarily the playability of the stage. But for what it's worth, I think this stage will work out just as fine as long as they don't use the idiotic stage boundaries of Brinstar Depths, where you could get knocked out by getting sent upward at like 35% damage.

This would be pretty cool, especially as cut scene music where one of the bad guys summons his army out.
 
Wow, a quality update on a Tuesday (Would have preferred Drifts or Ruins like most other people but this stage still looks sweet)! I think I can count the number of those through Dojo history on one hand. Considering that Wednesday is usually "awesome update day", I wonder what's in store for tomorrow? Good time all around. Things are certainly heating up. :D

Yes it definitely feels like Sakurai is on another wave of awesome updates! :D

Hopefully it keeps up for the rest of the week and culminates into a character reveal! :D

You know

In a way

I kind of wish I had discovered this stage on my own

I'm still trying to figure out at what point I will start 'bailing out' and attempt to go spoiler free. (Or if I'll even be strong enough to do so.)

My current plan is to go on a brawl blackout when the japanese game releases. (Or a week or so before if everything gets leaked). We'll see if I stick to it :P

Yeah, me too. If the site doesn't want to reveal Brawl's biggest secrets, I don't want to know them until I find them on my own.
