farnham said:My point exactly
I want Emphraim as a speer user, Lyn as a Myrmidon type (obviously its not possible), Hector as the Berserker, Axe user type and maybe some bow user that also uses other weapons (oh man thats actually Lyn.. so much wasted potential)
Enduin said:God yes, I have been championing the need for lesser known Nintendo characters, particularly Hector and other FE characters in order to bring more diversity to the SSB roster. The game, in my mind, sorely lacks female characters and as a whole weapons diversity.
To me the SSB franchise has gone beyond the realm of just Nintendo super stars, it doesnt need to, nor should it hide behind big name characters, its a legitimate figther and as such should be free to take from the massive pool of characters in order to provide a diverse and balanced roster. I mean especially now that they are bringing in 3rd party characters, however limited that might be.

Don't think it's worth making a new thread for (yet), and I don't think anyone has posted about it yet, but the EGM that comes out on the 15th will have "everything (seriously) you ever need to know" about Brawl and they have 12 special edition covers for the magazine.

Downloadable candy please.Fireblend said:Tonight, we're gonna get Ness' comeback, with an entirely new moveset, completely different from Lucas'. That and a new tune from Mother 2 redone by Yasunori Mitsuda. And then Sakurai's gonna reveal downloadable updates and give us all candy.
:lol
(Ok, first 2 things are my prediction)
ggnoobIGN said:Same one.
But I don't understand why EGM would put it on the cover if they didn't have new info. Is the OP sure? That's not like EGM...
farnham said:to be fair
Hector or Lyn are better known then Ike..
FE GBA sold much more then the GC one and Wii one combined
farnham said:NO... Definately not.. SSBs prime charm is its characters.. Its not like the game is bad or anything.. its just that the character roaster it provides is so incredible that it overshadows any other good thing about this series..
Imagine SSBM without all this fanservice.. it would be a legitimate powerstone, VF, Tekken competitor.. But definately not the multimillion selling juggernaut it has become
SexConker said:I'd love for Sakurai to pull an anti-update.
Just a list of things that won't be in.
"Sorry - no Ness/Falco/Game & Watch"
<Pic of each character sad, depressed, and lonely>
"Oh, we forgot about Sheik, too"
<Pic of Zelda looking confused>
"I didn't like Final Destination, so I decided not to include it"
<Pic of smashboards with a sad face drawn on it>
"And there's one more thing we left out, but I don't want to get banned."
He's an assist trophy, and even if he wasn't, Sakurai didn't want to use daggers because apparently they carry some stigma in some places. (Assist trophy Sothe just does a somersault kick.)vertopci said:Am I the only one who wants Sothe in Brawl? Daggers are so much better than spears and axes.
If you look at the different covers, they fudged the bowser cover.Tim-E said:http://www.1up.com/do/minisite?cId=3165209

The Donkey Kong artwork is from Jungle Beat. Bowser's from Galaxy. I haven't seen that Yoshi or Sonic artwork before, so they might be from something else.Stuneseht said:If you look at the different covers, they fudged the bowser cover.
It's not even the same model.:lol
edit: I think they messed up the Donkey Kong cover too.

I'm almost tempted too. The covers look great.:Motorbass said:COLLECT ALL 12!
yeah right...
Dojo photos, a background of the game itself, barely scant a new tidbit.Cosmonaut X said:Anything new, or just a compilation of Dojo info?
Isn't that pretty much what Smash Bros. is about?JohnTinker said:The article as a whole is more or less just rubbing one out for Nintendo
The article goes out of its way to raise the flag for fanservice and ignore the actual game on the cover.KevinCow said:Isn't that pretty much what Smash Bros. is about?

Oh, it wasn't an udpate. Just people reporting from Jump Festa. >_>vertopci said:Oh. :lol
I must've missed that update.
You really think every character that will be in the game has already been announced? Really?Fireblend said:I'm pretty much certain there are no newcomers to be announced. Maybe I'm being a little pessimistic, but seriously, I don't understand why everyone (specially at smashboards) think there's no way the roster will consist of less than 40 characters.
Other than the ones that have been announced I'd say that those who have chances are maybe the original secret 4 characters, and I don't really see Ness having much of a chance. As awesome as it would be to get Geno, Tails, Ridley or [insert heavily debated character here]*, I'm pretty sure they're not getting in.
*Don't even think about Krystal

If all the characters have been revealed except for three of the original four unlockables, then, not counting Sheik, ZSS, or the Pokemon Trainer's Pokemon as separate characters, that leaves us with 26 characters. Following the same rules, we had 25 characters in Melee.Fireblend said:I'm pretty much certain there are no newcomers to be announced.

I don't get it, why no Sonic or Snake?Tonjevic said:Just a small thing, but the JP smash site has been updated with the official box art. Nice and high-res(ish).
