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

Gorgeous.

Also for the people comparing this to Unown/Beedrill, I think it's different in that the Centurions look like they actually seek enemies rather than fly in predictable patterns.

I think he called Japanese people some sort of derogatory term that didn't sit well with the mods.

I wish they'd let him return, or that a mod would let us PM him the updates and they'd update the front page for us. Some guy was already willing to do so. We just need to find a willing mod.

Edit: Also, Pit's Final Smash looks visually impressive, but it doesn't impress me in terms of effect. For the amount of Centurions I saw, there'd best be something special, like:

-they attack whomever Pit targets.
-they deal 25% per hit unblocked / 10% if blocked
-they deal 10% per hit unblocked / 0% if blocked, but there's a veritable hailstorm of them.
-they/Palutena heal Pit.

One of those things would make it good. But, as it stands, it doesn't look that great.
isn't a little too early to make these kind of thought? we don't know how much powerfull the other final smash are (pick DK for example) and besides i don't think every character final smash should be incredibly powerfull and blow up everything on the screen
 
But that's the idea. A Final Smash should cause havok and do plently of damage.

If the Centurions can be blocked, and, after they are blocked, they just disappear, well...

If they didn't disappear and just kept dogging the characters, that'd be perfectly alright. But they don't. : /

So, prediction time. We've seen a bunch of Final Smash attacks already, what do we think the others have?

Here's mine. Bear in mind this is all suggested under a heavy influence of Red Bull so most of them are, probably, complete bollocks. </disclaimer>

Kirby - Cooking/Chef (we saw it in the first trailer from last year's E3 so it's not much of a guess really)
Fox - Calls a Landmaster into play for a short while
Zelda - Calls one of the four Spirits from Twilight Princess into play (could be a random one each time?)
Yoshi - Yoshi Stampede! (i.e. Melee intro movie)
Wario - Power Waft, from the E3 trailer? If not, chucking about explosive garlic.
Zero Suit Samus - SA-X/Dark Samus jumps in and fights alongside her.
 
AFAIK Ant is due back today, and he’s certainly not told me he’s had a further extension on his ban. An update of the OP is in the works, and provided Ant is back today it should go up soon. I’ve also updated the archive & made a little change to the gallery & will be adding to both over the next couple of days.
 
Fox - Calls in an air strike from the Great Fox (this happens in the games too)
Zelda - Traps someone in a Triforce like Link, and then shoots a volley of Light Arrows
Ike - Calls in other FE9 characters to fight alongside him for a while

Spoilers in a Smash Bros. game?

Link kills Mario!

Well, the music in Melee was really special and I figured (correctly it seems) it would be the same for Brawl. To me there's nothing like hearing an awesome song for the first time, so I was kinda hoping I'd be strong enough to hold off until the game releases.
 
Jonk said:
One thing I do know, if they bumped it to a later time, it will be worth it.

This is brawl news that the EarthBound fans will like and may give people hope for other things.

Stop making up "insider" info. We all know EarthBound will be in some way represented in the game, so in that sense, EarthBound fans will like it. Just shut up with the phony predictions.

Shame you didn't wager a ban on your "This coming week will be for EarthBound fans in the end. :)" prediction.

Oh, you're only talking about Music, I see. Well these are just low quality samples (and definitely incomplete ones) to get you hyped for the real stuff.

Also if Jonk opens his fat mouth again Amir0x will hear about it. He's not going to like being bait-and-switched on Earthbound news.
 
seeing gamesl ike Brawl and Galaxy, it really makes me wonder why people think the Wii's graphics wont be enough for casuals. Perhaps on game to game basis, but on the whole this obviously shows that little box can be pretty impressive. I just wish devs would actually utilize it and stop the bullshit excuses.

It isnt a prediction and it isn't phony. It is something that is new and a treat EB fans have been waiting for, so stop being a douchebag disbeliever. I wouldn't even state this if I wasn't sure about it.

I wont say anything else till it happens, so count me out and let the surprise happen when it does. NeoGaf, has some real asses sometimes.
 
Im pretty damn sure Ness will be back. why would they drop him all of a sudden after 2 appearances prior? Especially since Sheik and ganondorf are still in according to an interview.
Theres no reason to remove Ness.
 
To Jonk's credit, if Lucas isn't revealed tonight, it's because he got the same bad information I did.

If Lucas is revealed tonight, then the information checked out. I doubt he's purposely bullshitting anyone.

Shut up-a you face.

Thank you.

I've done more for EB than most of you know, so give me some credit.

Ganondorf was a clone character. I doubt anyone would miss him.
I dont care about ganondorf. I as justp ointing out that since him and sheik are apprently still in, Ness is likely to still be in, being more important than those two.
 
worldrunover said:
Well he's in the game in some form. Not necessarily playable. He says they asked about a Sheik model too, and we're all but sure she isn't playable, so...
Well if he ends up being playable his moveset will probably be different.
 
jiangjunizzy said:
its funny how people so easily forget that luigi was a clone too..
I'm sure Luigi will be a bit more varied this time around. He'll probably have a move or two involving the Poltergust vacuum, I'd imagine.

Well then at least own up to the possible blunder, instead of editing your post hoping no one will notice what you said before.
 
Haunted One said:
And for the record: I still think Sheik's out.
I'm starting to believe she'll still be Zelda's transformation but very different.

I'd be willing to bet Sakurai knew she was top tier and is doing whatever he can to balance (read: gimp) her.

He should label rumors as such. This whole "OMG awesome EB update coming!" and then doubling back "...eventually" is irratating. I know Nintendo doesn't hand this info out, so there's no way anyone (elite press or fan press) could know more than anyone else unless they have some personal contact at Sora. You don't play messageboard Nostradamus unless you are damn sure and are willing to pay the price if it gets pulled, because nobody likes it when people do that.
 
Kreed, I edited that for other reasons outside this forum. I totally own up to it.

I know the quotes were still there of the original, so I still stand by it, it was just for others outsource quoting me to that post. I wanted to keep it within here, this discussion. It also looks like someone takes message boards a little to seriously (not you Kreed).

I love the GAF, so I dont want to hurt it, just help. :)

As for the Icarus graphics, I seriously want a Icarus game after seeing all of these visual upgrades. Nintendo would be foolish not to do so.
 
Speevy said:

*I* would miss him. He was the better of the two characters with that moveset, by the way. I love playing as Ganondorf, people always underestimate him because they think he's slow. He's also the character I used to earn the "Finished Adventure mode on Very Hard with a Stock of One" award.

For what it's worth, I don't think you'd make up anything when it comes to Earthbound. The edit just seemed suspicious, but I understand why you did it if other forums/sites are linking to your comments too.

Eh, i don't agree with you when you say he was better than Falcon, but Ganondorf is definitely the most "fun" character, since he's really straightforward. There is nothing like using a stomp or a down B on your opponent when they're off the edge, sending them to death below, or edge guarding with his up-air.
 
Eh, where did this idea that Ganondorf won't be playable come from? If Zelda and Link are playable there is no chance in hell Ganondorf won't be, logically it just doesn't fit.

Sheik is debatable, but Ganondorf isn't-he will be playable.

You and me both... seems like it would be such a waste of the graphical/art assets if they do nothing else with the franchise after Brawl.
