Prediction: Megaton Newcomer Character with Final Smash.

I'd really like to be hopeful but at this point I don't think new characters are going to be updates.

I'd really like to be hopeful but at this point I don't think new characters are going to be updates.

I think me may see the other 3rd party characters, since they can do a lot for sales. However, I don't expect to see them for a few weeks yet in order to capitalize on hype before launch.

 

[RedBoot]

Anyway, what are the odds of Coro Coro info coming tonight? Sporsk said that there was a chance.

Well, the CoroCoro is supposed to come out on the 15th, but due to Japan's superior technology they exist several hours in the future, so that would be on the night of the 14th for us. Plus, magazines like that tend to get leaked a day or two in advance, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we heard about it pretty soon. Either way, we should know by Friday.

Cool, thanks. Not expecting anything particularly new, but it will be nice to get some solid info. I'm hoping for a character count at most.

 

[sprsk]

The Korokoro info will be in another thread btw.

 

[JohnTinker]

All of these little nuance-type updates is starting to make me appreciate just how much they've packed into the game.

 

[pulga]

Rotation? Useful addition to the game, but it's a pretty boring update.

What to predict, what to predict.

I guess I'll go with an item tonight. Gotta learn to keep my expectations low.

 

[CurseoftheGods]

This should be Sonic's stage music:

[zaxor0]

I predict double update. First I'd have to say some sort of feature that has to do with online modes. Then something else. Maybe a character?

 

[BlueSummers]

Predicting a How to Play + Music update tonight.

 

[MisterHero]

I predict Melee Characters as a hidden part of the game, though not as a blog update.

Spoiler

And by extension N64 Characters and Stages.

One of the hugest secrets and Sakurai puts it in the first 5 seconds of the E3 2006 trailer. :lol

 

[Danthrax]

I predict a double update of Chimchar...











...and a mix of the Final Boss music from Sonic 3! =D

 

[crowphoenix]

Oh man. All of the happy feeling came rushing back with that.

That would be awesome to have a shitty polygonal SSB64 Mario vs. not as shitty and not as polygonal SSBM Mario vs. much more awesomer SSBB Mario match.

It would be kind of funny, if true.

Would be even funnier if, by extension, that would also mean that SSB Ness, Kirby, Luigi and Jigglypuff would be the undisputed top-tier, at least, if they were able to be played verbatim to how they were in those versions of the game. (Superb Z-Cancel and uber-priority on moves FTW! :lol)

Of course...if the only way we could have Ness in the game, was through older versions of the character present in previous Smash games...that would be kind of lame, now wouldn't it?

 

[RoboPlato]

So I'm changing my prediction for tonight. I'm guessing that whatever the new method of powering up your characters that was mentioned in this update:

[Zeed]

We're so used to shit updates now that the next time we actually do get a character this thread is going to go nuts.

 

[Touchdown]

What has been everyone's favorite/omg/sakurai have my kids!! update so far? There have been a few for me so far but I would have to say the number 1 update was the confirmation of online play.(as limited as it may be). Just the idea that I'll be able to play my friends/family when were not together is great! Ughh....two more months, the wait is killing me!!!!

 

[DrForester]

question. Did the whole question about the assist trophy's get answered?

Question being if character that uses it is taken out of the game while the trophy does its thing. Hasn't been an assist trophy in a while, and I don't feel like searching past updates

Sonic.

Despite his 3D misadventures and as a Nintendo fanboy (though I did buy Sonic CD when it originally came out).

I've dreamt this confrontation for more than a decade!

 

[Linkhero1]

I'd really like to be hopeful but at this point I don't think new characters are going to be updates.

I've been making the same prediction for the past two weeks. No luck :lol

I'm going to have the same prediction until the game comes out.

 

[RoboPlato]

DrForester: Trophies work like Pokeballs, so the character does their thing while the person who summoned them continues as usual.

Touchdown: My favorite updates were Subspace Emissary, Sonic, and the 3rd party character movies (Snake/Sonic Joins the Brawl, Codec conversations).

Co-op in SubSpace Emissary, followed closely by SubSpace Emissary's revelation itself.

Since the Kirby GC game (which looked to be a superb follow-up to Kirby SuperStar) has all but disappeared, SSE's co-op definitely looks to be a nice "consolation prize" of sorts. The fact that it's combined with Smash Bros., and is used for the purposes of what appears to be an awesome play-mode, is also interesting.

I mean, yes, Vs. mode is still this game's meat and potatoes. But they really seem to be doing more to make it so that the "Story mode" is really going to be something that has plenty of depth and girth to it. And I appreciate that.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

What has been everyone's favorite/omg/sakurai have my kids!! update so far?

Tough call with Pokemon Trainer, Musicians, Sonic, and online, but I'd have to say Stage Builder may be my favorite update.

 

[Jiggy]

The Stage Builder, Subspace Emissary, and My Music top my list of favorite updates in that descending order, with Team as a close runner-up.

 

[Firestorm]

Top 3
1. WiFi Play
2. Four Kinds of Control
3. Sonic the Hedgehog

 

[Sciz]

This should be Sonic's stage music:

That's a nice rendition. That said, we need much less of it and much more of

...and a mix of the Final Boss music from Sonic 3! =D

[Touchdown]

Sonic.

Despite his 3D misadventures and as a Nintendo fanboy (though I did buy Sonic CD when it originally came out).

I've dreamt this confrontation for more than a decade!

My second favorite update! I remember my friends(nerds like me) calling me up the next day leaving messages that just said "SOOOONIIIC!! It was so strange actually seeing Sonic in those screens with Nintendo characters. I think the first thing I do when I get the game is just have a quick match with my brother, him as sonic, me as mario. It'll be kinds surreal

You know, I almost feel like creating my ranking list for every single update just to outdo you, but even I'm not that insane.

 

[KittenMaster]

Whatever the update, it will likely be useless to us.

[teddyboi]

These updates for the last month and a half feel like reading an in-game manual. You know, non-exiting info about a game.

 

[Jiggy]

There are only 176 updates so far. It can't be that hard to rank, can it? D:
