You know, judging by Sheik and Fox and Captain Falcon, Sonic will probably be either top-tier or close to it, competitively speaking. It's hard to mess up a fast character.

So. The question is... was this an update by Ami or not??

Nah. He'd be complaining about the Dojo showing Lucas in Smashville for a second time.

 

[PkunkFury]

It's been mentioned a few times in the thread already, but the Sonic icon is #20. The really good news here is that we now have a new blank spot (19) for yet another franchise! May as well keep the list updated

2. Donkey Kong
3. StarFox
4. Kirby
5. F-Zero

Melee series still missing:

Game and Watch


Still looks like Game and Watch will be 13 to fit with Melee characters.

I'm hoping 19 will be Pikmin and another 3rd party will take 21, but who knows??? Capcom conference MEGA-ton anyone?

 

[CB3]

 

[FDLink]

Wait, was Link giving Zelda a fairy?

EDIT: And XD at Peach's new taunt.

 

[Crocodile]

As long as the delay is small (hopefully still on track for before Christmas) I'll be fine. As for the updates, what else can be said except that Sakurai delivers again! Now off to bed with me.

 

[MrCheez]

Doesn't it seem like during the last part of the Conference trailer, we are seeing TEAM TAUNTS?!

Link looks like he is directly interacting with Zelda, and that is definitely not DK's normal taunt.

 

[CrushDance]

Could this be the BIGGEST GAME OF AL TIME!? EVEN BLU RAY CAN FIT ALL THIS AWESOMENESS!

 

[faberpach]

this game is going to be too amazing!

 

[perfectchaos007]

So Tails is an unlockable I would guess.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

SSBB has now exceeded the hype I have for Super Mario Galaxy, and I was never even a big fan of the old Smash Bros titles.

 

[radiuhm]

HOLY SHIT WOW!

 

[scottnak]

Oh man. Forgot about the icon numbering thing.
Unknown franchise still to come wooo

 

[Dark Ninja]

So Tails is an unlockable I would guess.

Most likely Assist trophy

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

As expected.

He looks great. Sega should just give all of their properties to Nintendo.

 

[BloodyYank]

If you can't in into the Smash site, we have the Sonic trailer here:

And the Fall Press Conference 2007 Trailer:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26203.html

YES!!! Thank you Gametrailers!!!

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Please let there be no shitty friends. Please let there be no shitty friends. Please let there be no shitty friends.

 

[Nabs]

Tails needs to be playable.

 

[Insaniac]

OH SNAPS.

Did anyone notice?
FOX GRABS SMASH BALL, BUT ZSS IS ALREADY IN THE GAME. SELECTABLE CONFIRMED?

 

[A Human Becoming]

Mario, Snake, AND Sonic in one game?

Best game ever.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

It's never too late to say:

Holy fuckshit.

Game of eternity.

 

[Antdogg355]

Capcom Conference later this month.


Bewiieve.

I would completely lose it if that happened. Sonic is great but Mega Man would be freakin awesome!

 

[Sharp]

OH SNAPS.

Did anyone notice?
FOX GRABS SMASH BALL, BUT ZSS IS ALREADY IN THE GAME. SELECTABLE CONFIRMED?

Aha!

I'm so glad Kid Icarus is 18 because it leaves open speculation for Pikmin

 

[Darkpen]

oh my god, I go away for an hour because of some stupid show my mom wants to show me, and I miss out on the opening moments of MEGATON FUCKING UPDATE OF FOREVER.



Holy fuck, SONIC! Holy shit at that video. Those combos of his.... holy shit.

If that aerial follow-up combo is availble for him, then just imagine how much SSBB's gameplay's changed.

Holy fuck.

God, I'm so tired... but... SONIC

SONIC SONIC SONIC!!!!

On a Sonic-related note, though, does anyone remember that bullshit screenshot of Samus's cockpit that someone photoshopped to look like the Team Sega logo, along with the icon thing? Lots of good memories in the history of speculation, but shit, this is REAL now.

The only difference between the fake fan-made Sonic icon and this one, I think, is that the fake one hollowed out Sonic's eyes, but it appears that this isn't the case for the official icon.

Oh man...

So where's that icon list, now? This is world_b_20.gif. Wasn't it up to 18 last time? Oh man... How many more? Are we going to see Megaman, Sakurai? Some... Final Fantasy IV? Oh man...

 

[LiquidMamba]

The Japanese release date was changed to 1/24/08 and the US release date was changed to TBD. Delayaton?

 

[Duderz]

OH SNAPS.

Did anyone notice?
FOX GRABS SMASH BALL, BUT ZSS IS ALREADY IN THE GAME. SELECTABLE CONFIRMED?

Genius. Thank you for pointing that out.

 

[Yazan]

Please Sakurai, don't add more of his shitty friends. Sonic (and hopefully Tails) is enough. Add Vyse instead!

 

[grandjedi6]

OH SNAPS.

Did anyone notice?
FOX GRABS SMASH BALL, BUT ZSS IS ALREADY IN THE GAME. SELECTABLE CONFIRMED?

So either Zero Suit Samus selectable from start or multiple smash balls per match!

 

[mj1108]

I threw the Sonic trailer on youtube.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=8VWZQ9m86Q0

 

[Insaniac]

The Japanese release date was changed to 1/24/08 and the US release date was changed to TBD. Delayaton?

expect it tomorrow at NA conference

 

[rikichi]

WOW!

The best update since snakes video.

And man, sonics moves are pretty awesome.

now, im hoping they add DANTE and then ill be in heaven, but as of right now, im at the front gates!

 

[Jiggy]

More trailer details I'm noticing:

-Pit can be seen gliding in the first part. Looks like a very quick mechanic.
-Yoshi's final smash has been activated in the Shadow Moses stage. Seems to have the ability to fly freely.
-In the Subspace Emissary section, Fox activates the SSBB equivalent of a Kirby bomb block--the type that sets off a chain reaction to blow up all surrounding blocks.

 

[Jea Song]

*cocks pistol*

ahem..what was that sound again?

 

[MrCheez]

Guess we are finding out the new release date tomorrow?

Better still be December or my tears will flow like waterfalls

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Melee series still missing:

Game and Watch


Still looks like Game and Watch will be 13 to fit with Melee characters.

I'm hoping 19 will be Pikmin and another 3rd party will take 21, but who knows??? Capcom conference MEGA-ton anyone?

Game and Watch will be replaced by Mii. Believe.

 

[Slavik81]

Please Sakurai, don't add more of his shitty friends. Sonic (and hopefully Tails) is enough. Add Vyse instead!

Kuckles?

 

[Insaniac]

So either Zero Suit Samus selectable from start or multiple smash balls per match!

I wonder if sakurai would include an option for mult smash balls, but I think this is a good chance that ZSS is selectable

 

[GeneralIroh]

Meh. That was cheesy as hell. "Sonic's my name speeds my game......"

This should make the furry fans happy though.

 

[Yazan]

Kuckles?

Well Knuckles is okay, but no shadow, amy or the rest of the shitheads.

 

[MindCollizion]

Definitely a new level we don't know about.

 

[WildArms]

This is going to get ignored because of the megatons: :lol

I thought of a new mode. The damage percentages are hidden, so that you cannot tell which players are about to die and which are still alive and kicking. Would make for some interesting matches, and you would be have to be on your toes all the time.

 

[grandjedi6]

Well Knuckles is okay, but no shadow, amy or the rest of the shitheads.

To be fair Amy came before the rest of the shitty friends. Of course they did "shitty friendtize" Amy afterwards

 

[Helzown]

If this game is delayed... I know it'll be for the good of my wallet... but I'm still a little heartbroken.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Game and Watch will be replaced by Mii. Believe.

HOW ABOUT GETTING BOTH!!! I am going to miss Game and Watch if he is gone. I guess if they replace him with Mike Jones, I would be cool with that.

 

[CB3]

fuck tails. Add Knuckles(even if its just a clone/alt. costume) and throw in Eggman as an assist trophy and it will be PERFECT

 

[ElFly]

To be fair Amy came before the rest of the shitty friends. Of course they did "shitty friendtize" Amy afterwards

I lolled.

 

[Mgoblue201]

BIG AL IS THE SHIT.

I like making the dude cry when I get 100% on everything.:lol

I wish I could find a picture of him crying. That would make my day.

 

[Android18a]

I guess this might as well be the last videogame that gets released, ever. Nothing will top this now. How can you make a sequel to THIS?

OMFG! Just watched the Youtube'd trailer.

The 2D Adventure bits look AMAZING! It's like, a proper Sonic game! SEGA, get HAL to make the next Sonic. DO IT. DOOO IT!

This is the first vid to make me grin like a cheshire cat. I'm in love now.

 

[Ten-Song]

Holy crap, Sonic in Smash Bros. Brawl? A few years ago, I would have NEVER thought a game like this was possible... I'm trying to picture how awesome it will be, to watch Solid god damn Snake, Mario, and Sonic, all fighting one another at the same time.

I do believe this game now gets the title of "Bitch, this is the best thing ever and you know it".

 

[fronn]

I haven't been paying much attention to this... but, where is Luigi? Is he not going to be in the new smash?
