[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Ver. 214. Gobble Gobble Gobble, Slurp Slurp Slurp

June 6?! BRAIN DAMAGE. ;_;

asfhhasfhHSLFLhsflhSFLHsflhSLFHslfhsfldsflhdasg... ! That's idiotic.

Three months after US....

We've honestly had shitter deals.

Edit: No, wiat, lol, I lied, this deal is quite shite, June 6 is a rumor. N-UK likes to quash the rumour but all the same will not cough up a real date. Nintendo quashes latest SSBB EU release rumour - Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii News - VideoGamer.com

God damnit, nintendo. This sort of shit I expect from lesser companies that go by the name of ADV.

Hmm, sounds like I'm going to have to import. I hear Datel is working on some kind of Disc Swapping device for the Wii.

Two Megaliths here? Blasphemy!

But ouch to Europe. At least the rumor ain't true. Would suck even more if it was later than the projected date.

Honesly at this point, I'd rather they'd pick a damn date so I can get to hating/loving them.

Yes, that option is still up (I actually selected that option and took 30 minutes trying to change it back). It also includes the custom stages, so that's all cool.

The June 6th release date rumour is the second June release rumour for the Europeans/Australians. Perhaps this may be an indication of when we're getting it?

Ah screw that. GIVE US A RELEASE DATE NOW ;_; us poor PAL people.

Today's update: Meteor Smashes and Bowser's Special Moves.

I like Bowser's new side move... Now he has a Bowsercide move (which looks awesome). And ultimately, should this be used in a 1-on-1 match with 1 stock left for both, Bowser would get the win, since your opponent goes off screen first.

Sheesh, Bowser just got a whole lot better in this game.

And watching the BrawlCentral Stream... Awesome. Wolf has a spike.

And while I'm continuing to talk to myself, I always wondered why Shadow wasn't one of the loop running characters in Green Hill Zone. Go figure that he's an assist trophy.



Also, among new Pokemon I've seen in the Stream:

• Gardevoir
• Metagross
• Gulpin
• Weavile

And now for something of actual importance. Sakurai hates us.

Quote:

In a recent interview, Sakurai has confirmed that no extra character will be obtainable via WiiConnect24 or other means. He even states that he doesn't think it's even possible on the Wii itself. Sakurai also mentions that no other third party companies approcahed him at all for characters.

IGN: We have to ask because there are so many rumors about this. Are there any hidden characters to come? Can you unlock more hidden fighters by way of WiiConnect24 or will you offer new downloadable content -- new fighters, for example. -- using the service?

Masahiro Sakurai: No. There are no characters that can be unlocked via connecting to WiiConnect24 or interacting in that fashion. And I may be mistaken here, but the Wii doesn't have a hard drive -- it's a disc-based system -- so I don't think we'll be doing that, I don't think it's going to happen.

Courtesy of IGN.

That's a real bummer. I was really excited about the whole add-on characters thing.

It makes sense that there's no new downloadable characters. He said it himself, there is no hard drive on the Wii, which makes it tricky to store any playable characters since it'd take quite a bit of memory to do so. Something the Wii's internal memory cannot handle, not to mention if they did it, EVERYBODY would need to get new characters for online play. Just seems like a pain to me. I'm happy with what they have now.

Anyone who was expecting DLC beyond stage builder stuff was deluded. Sorry.

One could hope and dream though.

Meteor smashes.... wasn't the community term spiking? Though atleast now we have an official term for it.

Oh, no. They're similar in fashion, but different effects.

Meteor Smashes are recoverable after you're hit.
SmashWiki: Meteor Smash - SmashWiki

Example: Up+B fast enough to Yoshi's F-air or Falco's Side+B, you can recover.

Spikes on the other hand just send you straight down.
SmashWiki: Spike - SmashWiki

Example: Falco's D-air off the edge. Odds are, if you're 40% or above and you get knocked off the stage downwards, you're not coming back.

Speaking in Melee terms.

Oh lawd I'm so glad the random select options include eveything.
Imagine the tedium of flipping through the 3 pages of stages when you are unsure of which to go with and are too afraid to hit random because it might pull up one of your bullshit stages that is composed entirely of spikes in boxes. *breathe*

Ah learned something today. I always thought meteor was hitting someone down while they were in the air and a spike was hitting them down while they hung on the edge. Shows what I know. I wonder if Toon Link's down-air will still make the person burst into flames when done correctly.

Though if they were to make a new game, the idea could still be in the back of his mind to implement it, as technology changes on.

Today's Update: Captain Falcon

The pictures are wonderful.

The descriptions also:

Captain Falcon is all about legs. He used to be the fastest runner in the entire game... Way back when, that is...

Spoiler:

But there's just no outrunning this guy...

I like the whole switch direction Falcon punch. I had that problem a lot, jumping into battle with a Falcon Punch only to overshoot my targets and get capped in the back. That wont be happening anymore.

Who cares about being outrun when you have Falcon PAAAUUUNCH!!! Manliest-man.
