Doc, I think I know what the purple thing is. It's Brawl's metool. Looking behind him, you can see two more forming.

And about the story thing, Miyamoto needs to cool it. Adventure mode rocked, and Giga Bowser was just as fun to get to as Crazy Hand.

Command was terrible as a whole.

I hope Fox gets his Assault appearance in SSBB - so many people like to use him, but now he's so... ugly.

But I doubt that will happen. The suit upgrades for Samus and the Daisy appearance of Peach were done with recoloring, maybe slight alterations of the character design. I don't think Nintendo would go as far as build a new look for Fox.

HighMaxOmega, I command you to stop crushing my hopes.

Well, I would imagine that with the Wii, they could do more than just recolors now, since its a more powerful console.

Screw that. You can't play a fighter with a stick. It don't work. I'm really glad they're allowing the more familiar controller scheme.

Well... I guess I'll announce the latest updates.

Yoshi's a confirmed character, and DK and Pit's stages have been revealed. DK's stage continually moves upwards, sort of like the Ice Climbers stage in Melee, but it doesn't go downwards... I think. Pit's stage, on the other hand, is just really easy to destroy, most of the platforms can be broken, but they regenerate quickly enough.

And finally, a new battle function has been added... you can use people as springs. Jump on them, goomba-style, and launch upwards. And they can be used to perform meteor smashes, too. Fun stuff.

The spring thing will work wonders in team battles.

Imagine you being say, Fox, falling to your inevitable death, when your aprtner, being a Kirby/ Jigglipuff races towards you, you jump on them to get back on stage, and then they float back up as well.


Awesomeness.

i dunno, Teej - I think the spring person has to be on solid ground.

That is neither confirmed or denied.

The updates say you can jump off someone if you're both in the air.

also one of the pictures shows Wario being jump-springed in mid-air.

next update: Assist Trophy - Knuckle Joe

appears, uses Vulcan Jab (lpt of hits), finishes with Hadouken or Shoryuken (not really, Smash Punch or Rising Break

he just looks strange. in the kirby games he looked better, imo.

DK's Final Smash has been revealed - he just jams on the ol' GCN Bongos. All it does i sup their damage, I guess, maybe paralyze them. But it does have some advantage on scrolling levels.

Advantage on scrolling levels? I think Sakurai meant to imply that using the Final Smash on a scrolling level would result in insta-death, due to the requirement to stand still whilst doing it.

How come the SSBB site doesn't have any information on Snake?

I bet they're keeping all his moves secret...he can probably disguise himself as a box, sneak up to characters, and slit their throats.

Don't forget that he can eat Pikachu to lower taken damage!

OH! But first he has to shoot him with the tranquilizer gun and stab him with the survival knife!

Ah...a guy can dream...

Smirnoff: I think they're saving unlockable character profiles for last. Even if he's been announced, he's still a secret character. Don't want to give away all the secrets before the game's even launched, do you?

If this line of thinking is correct, we can also assume that Wario and Pit are defaults. And Meta Knight's yet to be seen. He HAS been showing up in an awful lot of screenshots, though. He could easily go either way.

While I may get your point I still want SOME sort of information.

You're not the only one. I'd love to see how Snake's attacks work out. Not to mention his final.

The latest goodie revealed is the Pitfall item, from Animal Crossing. Throw it at the ground, and you've created an invisible pit for people to fall through.

Yes, but this doesn't leave a telltale mark. Its completely invisible.

Kay, we have a stage AND an item!


WE BETTER GET RESETTI. >:O
