What I am convinced will be the greatest video game of all time will be coming out soon. The release date is now March 9th and I'm ready for it. I've got a Wii, I've got the money saved up, and I'm going to get 2 new Gamecube controllers when it comes out. Anyways, this topic is for what you think. Things they did right, things they did wrong, and things they need to do. I think the biggest thing they needed to do (which they did) was add Meta Knight. King Dedede was also a good addition as well as Wario. I'm a little dissapointed they replaced Mewtwo with Lucario though. The Pokemon Trainer should be fun as well. However their greatest addition period has to be Sonic the Hedgehog.
For any who don't know yet here you go. http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/ (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/)
Bad: replacing Mewtwo
Really bad: pushing back the US release
Good: can't say for sure yet, but I'm liking Meta Knight and Pit. Not to mention the final smashes look awesome.
Interesting things: Sonic, i'm not a fan of sonic really, but he looks cool. Poke'mon trainer looks good. Snake, again I'm not a fan of this game, but snake's awesome regardless.
Things that are needed: a simple, really big map. Something like final destination that's really big. Big, empty, and flat. Maybe with some plat forms. And nothing crazy going on. The wacky maps are fun sometimes, but I prefer levels where it's me vs the players, not me vs players vs map.
As far as prep goes, I bought a Wii practically for this game, got a wifi modem to play online with it, and I've got the cash saved up. All-in-all, it just needs to be released soon. I already know I'm going to love it and play it way too much.
I've had it preordered since december... fully paid too. It just needs to get here.
Luigi and Mr. Game & Watch are back.
I'm happy. :>

YES he does. Someone leaked an animation of all the Final Smash moves on the Internet along with the complete Brawl list. Oh god, I thought I was the only one who cared about Mr. Game & Watch. I no longer feel alone. ;-;
Oh and that
Pikmin Dude Captain Olimar's going to be in Brawl. I actually really, really am looking forward to that. I really liked Pikmin.

Of course I like Mr. G&W. Next to Mario, he's the Smasher I have a connection with. Ah, to be an 80's kid. But seriously, someone leaked Brawl info and didn't get caught? That's hardcore.

I'm not sure how the information got out in the first place, but the videos are all over YouTube (I believe; that's where my friend showed me the two videos which had the information to begin with). If you do some searching I'm fairly sure you can find them.
As for G&W, being sixteen years old and having started playing video games with some of the earlier Mario games (around 1995 or 1996), I'm sadly unfamiliar with Mr. Game & Watch's first debut. I personally love this guy because he's so much fun to play around with in Melee, though.

Well, Brawl's been out in Japan for awhile now, so it's not exactly leaking now. I think some stuff got leaked shortly before the Japanese release though, like the character list and the levels and such.
I don't think Brawl is coming out in Europe for a very long time, so I'm not holding my breath.
Now, if only the release date for Europe was a bit sooner, rather than later. Rumour has it that I will have to wait until July. :C 'A' :crying
My condolences for those in Europe who have to wait for Brawl to come out. That sucks dudes, sorry. I feel your pain. Actually that's a lie, I don't really but I'm really sorry. I still think Kirby's Final Smash should've been Rockstar Kriby instead of Chef Kirby. Also as far as a really big plain map goes, I think that Super Smash Bros greatest asset is it's shear chaos so I like all the stages with a bunch of weird stuff going on.
I really don't see why you don't have it yet. (http://www.badlydrawnkitties.com/comics/20080222.html) :3

Say, when
is Brawl's European release, 'cause it's coming on March 9th in the States.
I don't think a specific date has been set, but a few sites are saying around July.
It seems like adding online play took up most of their development time though.
:< Someone please PM me to let me know if there're spoilers in this thread. I want to blab about SSBB, too, but not at the risk of spoiling something for myself!
Edit: Thanks, Rakala!
Well I would hope there are no spoilers. If I would've planned for there to be spoilers I would've put a warning in the subject.
One of the things I'm most excited for is the Assist Trophies. Just think- there could be any character in Nintendo history (and beyond)!
I'm most looking forward to playing Pit, because he looks awesome. I imagine he'll move somewhat like Falco crossed with Link. High jumps (Wings!) and diverse attacks (swords, and bow and arrow).
I am deathly excited for this game- and don't even have a Wii! XD
I honestly think Pit will be closer to Meta Knight if anything, but it's impossible to tell until it comes out.
Where I am there's only one day left until it's release. I can hardly wait for tomorrow, but luckily I have just the perfect thing to take up my day. It won't be long until I start cuasing uber-pwnage over the internet.
I just picked it up 15 minutes ago.
4897-5593-8056
Bring it.
I have it. I'm playing it. It's awesome- that is all.
I was surprised. I went to get it the day it came out at Best Buy. I expected dissapointed but there were actually copies on the shelf. It was everything I expected it tobe and then some. I almost have all the characters unlocked now. Only 3 to go. I've also been having fun in the classic games section.
(slight) SPOILER:
If you use Toon Link 10 times you can unlock Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in the Classics vault.
I now have all characters unlocked and have finished all 41 Events on Hard mode... Event 41 was the worst pain overall. Also as a side note, King Dedede really sucks.

Your wii code and smash code are needed.
Also.... Subspace Emissary = <3
This shouldn't be a spoiler, as it was in the E3 video, but I
love how Link and Yoshi are together in the subspace emissary. My two favs! Yay! Though it was so difficult when it asks who you want to play as...
Possible spoiler?

I only wish Tails were playable. :< Link, Yoshi, Charizard, Falco, Ness, and Tails? This game would be my fav game ever in the history of games that are gameable!
That is my Smash code, and you don't need the Wii code. All you do is put my Smash code into your friend roster and then I put yours into mine and then we can join each other's games.
One of my friends is starting to piss me off, talking about the characters. I don't know why it bothers me but here are some of the things he would say.
"Peach and Zelda are practically the same and both are worthless!"
"Luigi is gay."
"Nobody cares about King Dedede."
Please tell me I'm not alone when I tell him he's not right.
You aren't. And YAY I actually ROCK at this game! (True, I was playing against twelve-year-olds, but these are twelve-year-olds who usually kick my ass in Melee.)
And even though I'm kinda disappointed that Mewtwo's gone, Meta Knight being playable comes pretty close to making up for that.
At first I was sad that they removed Mewtwo, but Lucario more than makes up for it.
Meta knight took me a while, but I think I've really got him down.
I need a bit more time to make judgments on other characters, such as Link/Toon Link, the princesses, and Ganondorf.
As for Dedede and Bowser? Well, I never liked the heavies much, so they don't really matter to me.
And about Luigi, he's a bit more slippery than Mario, but to me, Luigi's better. He's got a better side special, he can jump higher, and he still has the tornado.
It actually has a different feel than Melee, I don't know why but something is different. Nintendo is like that. They make the same game repeatedly but somehow always give it a new, crips feel. They are geniuses.
Crips feel? Nintendo's goin gangsta! XP
I only hope that someday Sakurai does decide to go with downloadable characters. I could totally get behind having Mewtwo and Pichu back, added with Tails and Espio. >.>
Downloadable characters would be awesome... Krystal should have definitely been in there. Though after trying Wolf, I'm not as disappointed with him being in it, he actually plays a lot differently than Fox and Falco... except for the final smash at least. I'm still getting used to how they changed many of the old characters though too. Some of them were downgraded huge amount, while others got a boost.
Yoshi's still got his multikick and all his moves, he's good. Falco's good to go, cept his new reflector will take some getting used to. Heh. But no complaints here in any department.
PS
Wolf is indeed awesome. But I really wish he had a Wolfen attack and Falco had an Arwing attack for their final smashes. Or at least have one of em just go lazer barrage.
Well, I finally unlocked all the characters. I must say that my best characters (starting with the best) are Sonic, Pit, Ike, and Snake. I like Snake's smash and special attacks. He has the best launching power in the game. Some of his smash attacks are as powerful as the Falcon Punch.
You know, when the game first came out, I didn't realy care about Sonic that much. Didn't play his old games, haven't played the newer ones, so there was no reason to be excited about him. Now having played as Sonic... I have to say that I like him. Not favorite, but he's definitaly in my roster now.
Well, I beat the Subspace Emissary one player, now having played it 2 player it is much more fun playing with a companion than on your own.
Yes. And much more hilarious as well. XD
Luigi and Marth are still my homeboys. I haven't unlocked Mr. Game & Watch yet so I have yet to experience his improvements in Brawl.
But seriously, Luigi and Marth are terrific. I love Marth's side-B attack and Luigi's Final Smash. Actually, the Final Smashes in general are all fantastic; excellent additions to the game. King Dedede is rather fun to play with (but very sloooow), if only because I wanted to be an exception to the throngs of people who keep ranting about how much he sucks. I have a weakness for unappreciated characters, as my adoration for Mr. Game & Watch attests. I'm fairly sure Nintendo was high when they made the Subspace Emissary, but in a wonderful wonderful way.
I love this game. <3

I've heard everybody talking about how they should add more characters from certain games. The two biggest being Grey Fox from Metal Gear Solid and Knuckles the Echidna. People don't seem to get it's not who people like, it's by importance in the game. If they were to add another character from Sonic the Hedgehog then Tails would have to come first. From Metal Gear Solid they would either have to do Raiden or for a villain Ocelot. Who all thinks I'm right about this?
They nerfed mah Peach. :<

I feel out of place posting in a thread about a game I've never played, but the urge to respond to this kind of kept biting me until I typed something. Anyway, your post, yes. In regards to the theoretical next Sonic character being Tails, I would have to agree. With Metal Gear Solid however, there's no way Raiden or Ocelot would trump Gray Fox, because he has veterancy (creation wise - I just know someone will say Ocelot comes first in the timeline) over them. That's why his appearance in MGS is shocking - the man who was Snake's technical superior (codename Fox trumps codename Snake) is supposed to be
dead.
Probably too off-topic to ramble about, so I'm just going to fade out like I was never here. Yo~
I agree with Janus. Gray Fox would have to come before Ocelot or Raiden. Not only is he a more important character in that the man who was Solid Snake' technical superior is supposed to be said as Janus pointed out, he is also a series veteran, in that he appeared before the Metal Gear Solid series. He was also in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the SNES (i think it was on the SNES anyway). In that game, he had supposedly gone missing. In the end, however, it turned out that he had in fact sided with Big Boss and his organisation. Snake and Gray Fox then had a fight in a minefield if I'm correct in saying, and Gray Fox died in that game, which lead to his shocking appearance in Metal Gear Solid.
Yeah, so I went quite a way off topic, but I thought I'd put in my 2 cents anyway. And yes, Brawl looks good, can't wait until it finally comes out in Europe.
Alright. Just making sure I know where everybody stands. The reason I said Raiden is if you look at the characters, most of the time they try to get the main character (IE Fox), at least 1 supporting character (Falco), and one villain (Wolf). And most of the people I've talked to have never even played any of the older MGS games.
On another note I've heard ideas for alternate costumes for Snake besides different cameos. The ideas I've heard are his MGS 4 old costume, Naked Snake, so on.
Personally, if Midna was in Brawl (as a playable character) I would have been overjoyed, but Nintendo went to the trouble of putting Sonic in Brawl so I'm rather satisfied.
You can't get more awesome than Sonic. Sonic is his name and speed is his game. >(

They nerfed mah Peach. :<
You can chain her mid-air butt attack.
It beats the dual sided boss with no trouble. :P
I find it amusing, having just come back from a Brawl party(wherein Sonic was unlocked during the party, while I was off playing Halo 3), that my favorite way to play is the sideways Wiimote. Only downside is I tend to bubble more than I'd like(but then, I almost never bubble on purpose, except as a taunt...)
Samus was fun, Sonic's fun, Pikachu's fun, I managed not to offend anyone as Link(and I caught someone else's Samus in a mid-air final smash with him). High-points of the night were the Zombies game(oops, that was Halo 3), and the co-op battles on Brawl. With friendly fire on, naturally.
Pikachu doing a hold so Ike can smash the guy offscreen for a win was beat only when my teammate accidentally caught my Pikachu in Ike's Final Smash. I survived it, though, so it's all good. :D
Note to self: do NOT use Sonic(or, truly, any character lacking in ranged attacks) with the Curray special mode enabled. Especially when you're playing with lifebars, instead of normal mode. It's kinda suicide.
I love this game... now if only I could get more friend codes.
How did they nerf Peach though? I ran through a few times and owned as usual with her.
My friend number: 4854-6358-9649
Add me for a fight. But a forewarning, I can't take much higher than 6 so I'm only about an average player. Also I add any friend numbers I see on here.
Name: RAI - Code: 4897-5593-8056
I'll add you guys tonight.
Rakala, it says your code is incorrect.
*shrugs*
1117 9929 4439
Sorry, had a typo. Here is my actual code:
4854-6350-9649
Hmm, guess I should throw my Brawl number up here... 3394-3263-2958
Got it, unlocked all characters, and finally got my Wii online.
Smash Code: 0387-8467-3649
I've added all the codes listed here. Waiting on Kenji, Fresnor, and Toric to add mine.
Did. It was waiting on you. But I have to have been online since you did.
Same as Kenji. I've been to busy satisfying a Pikmin craving to get on WiFi.
Okay, I noticed that most people aren't on when I am, so could people also post the times they'll usually be on and according to what timezone? For me it's usually 3-6 pm Central Standard Time.
