30k here we come, lets do 40k before the game comes out

40k is gonna be a piece of cake. Megaton updates get us 1k posts in a day.flipping_heck said:This calls for a celebration.. but the game has been delayed so not much to celebrate :S

No way. I believe they are using it to tweak and balance the game. Possible add more Pokeballs/Assist Trophies/Items and MAYBE stages.NeonZ said:I hope they actually use the delay to add more characters. If completely new characters can't be added in one month, at least, a few clones should be included then.
They won't add new models/stages/items in that timeframe. New stuff is almost never added to a game in the last months before going gold. It's all tweaking/balancing/bug-hunting on the final stretch, no?Chumly said:No way. I believe they are using it to tweak and balance the game.

...Harrison remained extremely optimistic on the subject, mentioning Sonic's involvement in the game, the attempt by Nintendo to reach out to top characters from around the gaming industry...
Yea I doubt anything of substance will be added. Potentially they added stuff LATE that they are still trying to tweak/balance.Haunted One said:They won't add new models/stages/items in that timeframe.

edit: Well, I'll concede that they still have a bit of time until then, so new things might be added right now.

About how much of Melee was available at the start percentage-wise?
NeonZ said:I don't mean adding new things in the delay period, it's just that they now have one extra month of development time compared to the original estimative. One entire month should be more than enough to add at least one character.
If they get Bomberman in the game because of this delay, it's all worth it. Or Terra with a Celes alternate, but I'm trying to be realistic.Rancid Mildew said:I believe that an IGN article had a quote from George Harrison who said that Nintendo is using the extra time to secure more characters from the entire gaming spectrum.

yeah, I edited after I realised that.NeonZ said:I don't mean adding new things in the delay period, it's just that they now have one extra month of development time compared to the original estimative. One entire month should be more than enough to add at least one character - obviously, it doesn't need to be done in the last month of development...
14/25 characters (or 15/26 counting Sheik), 19/29 stages, 10/51 event matches, 0/~290 trophies.hiryu2015 said:About how much of Melee was available at the start percentage-wise? Also, how long exactly did it take you to unlock all the characters, stages and trophies when Melee was originally released? I remember that the trophies took awhile (my household still doesn't have all of them), but the characters and stages were all unlocked quickly. Should we expect similar values for Brawl?
didnt Sakurai mention only 3 3rd parties character were going to be in Brawl? with Snake and Sonic already in, there is just room for one more.Grecco said:As excited about guys like Megaman and possibly Chrono, i hope it doesnt become diluted full of third party charachters.

I also expect some Square-Enix character or other, albeit for different reasons.Rancid Mildew said:In addition to Capcom's most likely/imminent announcement, I'm with the people speculating a Square-Enix addition. In my opinion, the composer list is almost as good as a confirmation from Sakurai. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the cause for a delay since Nintendo and Square have a pretty rocky relationship.

1up said:Take the lava-themed level taken from Metroid for example: The burning magma constantly rises and falls, with the screen persistently scrolling to new formations of platforms. On occasion, a large wave of molten lava even pushes across the screen vertically from the left, reducing the safe area to a tiny lone platform -- with four players fighting to stay on it, things can get pretty hectic as you can imagine.

Other attacks we've seen already include a floating Metroid that sucks onto battlers, a massive attack of multiple 2D Advance Wars sprites, various Pokemon, a dashing Drill Dozer attack, the Excite Bike attack (similar to the Advance Wars move), and then of course the fire flower, baseball bat, beam sword, and the like. There were multiple times within the fight where we got our butts kicked simply because we were captivated by nostalgia; priceless.
Innotech said:that wasnt going to be very likely. His moveset wouldnt be very special or significant. Hes just a boxer. much better as an assist trophy though.
