Ah, a double Metal Gear Solid update.

Sorry, Sakurai, no update can be any cooler than the Lucas update.

Except Ness.

Just to prove you wrong there'll probably be a triple update where they reveal a Mother 3 stage, put up some Mother 3 music, and do a video of--oh, I don't know, Lucas telekinetically pitching some Smoke Balls to Ness in a game of baseball.

 

[celebi23]

Damn, congrats on 500 pages. Awesome MGS update in addition to the great week started by Lucas inclusion in Brawl. I've got a feeling that some music will show up next.

Let's hope not. Amir0x would probably actually die from that update.

That would be overwhelmingly awesome.

Come on, Sakurai, contradict me like you always do!

 

[Jiggy]

That's true, and would be very sad indeed. We need more ludicrously overstated personalities on GAF.

Super Smash Bros. Solid: Also featuring Nintendo characters.

500 pages? This is madness

 

[GamerSoul]

I wonder if they'll have any MGS assist trophies. REX and RAY are already in the background, but Raiden (MGS4 version) would fucking rule.

Something tells me Kojima had a book full of ideas ready for Brawl since he was a little too late for Melee.:lol

Please, please don't make me say it. It's fighting to get out right now.

The best thing about Lucas being announced is that we will actually get Mother 3 music in Brawl

Madness! This is NeoGAF!

Blah, beat me to it

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

Regarding "Yoshi: Dinosaur or Dragon?" It doesn't matter what you call him. Before the term dinosaur was coined, they were called dragons. Therefore, it's essentially the same thing.

So, is everyone going to try to be post #25,000? Good luck, guys!

basically.

 

[djtiesto]

Fuck, just missed it

 

[Darkpen]

 

[platypotamus]

Holy shit at the Codec dialogues.

 

[castle007]

fuck fuck fuck :lol

 

[djtiesto]

Boom.

 

[AceBandage]

Snake rules!

 

[crowphoenix]

And another milestone passed.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Watch out Halo thread!

 

[Parl]

So a thread, dedicated to updates on the Smash Bros website, on a forum less popular than many other gaming forums, has more posts than most video games sell?

 

[Chumly]

Watch out Halo thread!

Were coming back!

 

[grandjedi6]

I like how the only person who put effort into his post made the milestone post

 

[GamerSoul]

There's gotta be more of those dialogues.

I wanna hear what he say about more characters.

The Wario and Yoshi ones were hilarious and the Samus one was just sweet..and interesting.

NeoGAF actually has the most traffic of all the video game boards

 

[BGBW]

Well I'm throwing my Captain Falcon predictions out of the window for this week as three character updates this week would be very unlikely.

So for the rest of the week I'm seeing:
Donkey Kong music
Wario's Final Smash
A Subspace related update, maybe a new boss?
Kid Icarus related item
Crawling
Mario Kart stage

So expect anything other than these to appear this week.

 

[CreatureX3]

Shadow Moses Island looks amazing. I can't wait to battle on it.

Also the searchlight/exclamation point thing is too funny. :lol

Two more months to go...

 

[crowphoenix]

Love the fact that Yoshi reacts to being in the spotlight. I wonder what happens when you are in it.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

A bit off topic, but I'm really liking the Brawl version of Yoshi.

Very reminiscent of Yoshi's Story.

...really?

well, I guess his proportions look like his Yoshi's Story version.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Well I was really indifferent to his render when I saw it for the first time.

But it was also the first time I noticed his big profile render has alot've significant differences to his actual in-game model.

The in-game one looks much, much better imo.

The profile render looks like plastic, and his pupils are a very different shape compared to the the in-game render.

Ah, Yok (Yoshi). Me and him have had a long running feud. He was my main main for a few years, but parted ways after a bad season of Kart. I thought we were cool, but no. Yok is vengeful, man. He's always gunning for me now.

 

[Jiggy]

So, for those of you who consider Monday to be the start of the week even though calendars argue otherwise, here's what's happened in the gaming world in the week so far:


-Lucas is playable in Brawl
-Snake has incredible codec conversations in Brawl
-Sin and Punishment releases in North America after seven years
-Bungie apparently breaks away from Microsoft, but MS retains first refusal rights
-Unreal Tournament 3 for PS3 is delayed
-Incredible Super Mario Galaxy videos appear (yet are obscured on GAF by a horrible thread title)
-Halo DS vaporware videos are shown by Matt Cassamassinassmassina
-A 40GB PS3 for $399 is on its way before the end of the month


But most importantly, the Smash Bros. Dojo thread has hit 501 pages and 25,000 posts--even though it was at like 490 before the Snake update yesterday. This week is becoming mind-blowing.

Oh yeah! Someone needs to write this down somewhere so we can have record to show future generations.
This is videogaming history people!
NeoGAF history!

[Des0lar]

Prediction Time:

Item or Final Smash

 

[xs_mini_neo]

His Adam's apple is running away from his face...

 

[ohamsie]

I wonder how the spotlight is going to react to the Pokemon Trainer, since he's in the background. Will it only work on the pokemon battling or the trainer as well? Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be much background space for him to stand in as it is. Maybe he'll stand in the foreground for this stage?

 

[Darkpen]

ugh, its only 11 hours or so until the update, but whatever.

My prediction is...

moveset for an already revealed character

Probably the foreground.

Also, I wonder who Snake's codec would talk about: the specific Pokemon that's out, or the trainer himself? I imagine it would be the trainer.

Link? I don't like wandering too far away from home (this thread).

 

[Jiggy]

though Frank O'Conner has denied it as a rumor on gametheory D:

I was trying to save myself some pain with the "apparently" disclaimer. >_> Even if it's not true, though, it's still interesting enough to factor in to the list.



Oh yeah. Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass also released this week, but that's not important news because here on GAF we don't play games.



Edit:

Just got around to watch the Snake videos. Cooool!

 

[Duderz]

Maybe it's just my anticipation of the game getting to me, but i'm starting to think those that have been participating in the thread post their Wii numbers, so we can save oursleves the time and trouble for when the game comes out...

The Shadow Moses stage looks sweet.
