[Wii] Super Smash Brothers: Brawl Discussion Thread

[Pyritie]

The summit? The summit of what? If you must know, I suppose it’s the summit of Icicle Mountain. And I guess there are vegetables there after all.

In other words, it’s an Ice Climber stage.

At first glance, it appears to be a normal glacial peak. But after you fight for a while...

A pop! A crack! It’s breaking?!

Th-the terrain is sliding downhill!

It’s finally arrived at the sea. And with a splash, too!

Hmm. Talk about hectic. And rumor has it, you can’t get careless once you’ve reached the sea.

The polar bear is pushing the iceberg deeper!

A fish leaps out of the water!

I feel like I’ve seen that fish before somewhere... Where could it have been?

New stage thingy.

 

[JarrardKO]

I like that level a lot.

 

[KKRP]

I've seen that fish before......oh yes:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FKP0R6vGc0Y

Go to 00:23 to see the fish.

 

[donut3.5]

I think I like this better than the old ice cubers stage.
--donut3.5--

 

[KKRP]

I like it better to, not climbing up a mountain forever; instead on top of a mountain then sliding into the ocean.

 

[Gilles]

Pfff flat levels ftw. I hate stages with obstacles. I like pure fighting skill.

QFT

isnt the fish from uhh, Balloon battle?

 

[Parrothead]

Lol nice, kirby still has his old ice climber suit.

 

[Pyritie]

This thread suffers from serious neglect. Here's Thursday's and Friday's.

<Galaxia Darkness>

Heh heh heh. I got it.

Meta Knight has gotten the Smash Ball. Behold!

Take this!

...

He swirls his cape out in a wide sweep, but if he swings and misses, nothing happens. It’s a waste of the Smash Ball. Be sure to hit with that swing of the cape.

This time, behold!

The field is gradually engulfed in darkness.

Toh!

The field is swallowed by darkness, and Meta Knight slices strongly through it. Enemies get launched helplessly. Talk about cool.

But there is even more coolness to this move.

If there are others besides the enemy you hit with the cape...

They get cut in the darkness, too!

So, while this move’s initial attack range is relatively narrow, if you hit with it, most everyone suffers. Aim well and sally forth.

As the match begins, the characters enter the screen with signature moves!

These fun appearances have been revived in Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

Mario appears out of a pipe. It’s pretty basic.

Fox dashes out of the Arwing.

The condor appears! It’s the Ice Climbers.

Pit comes riding in on light from the heavens.

Mr. Saturn’s tea table? Lucas appears!

Could that be warp magic? It’s Ike?

Snake’s optical camouflage breaks up as he lands.

There’s a three-second countdown before the match begins. And those are just a few of the fighters making their appearances.

 

[Just_Spectating]

just liek in smash 64! awsome111!

 

[Shadow_Fox]

Yay!!!! Epic win!

 

[JarrardKO]

Hive n00b: SOMEONE HELP! HELP! THIS THREAD IS BEING IGNORED!!
Jarrard the pr0zor: Never fear, I iz 'ere lawlz.

Items from Previous Installments

A number of items from past Smash games appear in this one as well. But, of course, there are naturally many people who have never played any of those games. And even if you have, I still think I ought to explain these.

It’s not all of them, but I would like to introduce a few.

<Beam Sword>

It is a blade of light—the Beam Sword.

This time it gets REALLY long!

<Fire Flower>

Hold down the button to release a fire burst!

<Freezie>

Throw it at someone to freeze them.

<Home-Run Bat>

Do a side-smash to hit a home run!

This time, everyone has a different stance.

<Party Ball>

Items pour out from inside.

<Super Mushroom>

When you get the mushroom...

You become gigantic!

These are just some of the items that intensify the slapstick nature of this game. You must master them all!

Grab and Throw

Surely you’ve learned how to shield to protect yourself. Have you learned that yet? Good. You’ve learned.

Then next up is grabbing. And throwing!

Press the attack button while shielding...

And grab at your opponent!

If you press the attack button while shielding, you’ll grab. Give a try next time you’re shielding.

Block your enemy’s attack with your shield!

Then just press the attack button to grab your enemy!

Tilt the Control Stick in any direction you like to throw!

Then pursue with combo attacks!

And so on.

Grabs are also effective against enemies that are protecting themselves with their own shields. Shield against attacks, then grab. Or dodge. If you can understand this flow, you’ll find they add a dimension that changes the simple charging attack.

At any rate, get in the habit of shielding when you’re in trouble. Then you can think about what comes next.

Gray Fox

If Snake is going to be joining the brawl, then it should be fine to have someone else from the Metal Gear world join as an Assist Trophy, right?

Frank Jaeger, the Gray Fox, appears!

Oh! Cool mono-eye!

He approaches stealthily with lithe jumps, coming right in then slicing repeatedly. Awww! It makes you want to use him as a playable character.

He slices over and over with his back-handed grip.

By the way, he reflects projectiles.

PA-SHEEN!

Gray Fox faces off with Snake.

Gray Fox, who engaged in a grand battle to the death with Metal Gear REX... To think that he would reappear on Wii, and alongside Mario and Sonic at that!

You never know what might happen in this world.

Hive n00b: Oh ty soo much Jarrard man, you da man!
Jarrard the pr0zor: No problem! And uh.. fix up that grammar.. UP AND AWAAY!

 

[Pyritie]

Lolo crappy ribbon on that gray fox's head.

 

[donut3.5]

I actually like the ribbon on the eye.
I also wonder what that clock item coming from the party ball is...
--donut3.5--

 

[THE_END]

Hm...never noticed that clock before...
Possibly pauses the other characters for the character that grabs it? Like a Time Stop?

 

[Shadow_Fox]

Maybe in a timed match, it adds more time to the clock, tho yours is more likely.

 

[Pyritie]

That and I also don't like that huuuuge ribbon on his sword. It's too bright.

 

[Just_Spectating]

this is chriz's duty, and he is ignoring this thread.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Well excuse me, I have lots of other things that keep me busy, I apologize for not updating this thread like I used to. It's not my "duty", I merely decided to share the updates with you guys when I had the time. But it seems there is a number of people who can do this instead of me, so I'm not worried.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

This time it gets REALLY long!

Yeah, that's what she said.

Hold down the button to release a fire burst!

Yeah, that's what she said.

This time, everyone has a different stance.

Yeah, that's what she said.

When you get the mushroom...
You become gigantic!

Yeah, that's what she said.

These are just some of the items that intensify the slapstick nature of this game.

Yeah, that's what she said.

Pretty awesome post for exploiting perverse humor.

 

[Just_Spectating]

dont forget

Oh! Cool mono-eye!

Yeah, that's what she said.

 

[iron_warrior]

this is chriz's duty, and he is ignoring this thread.

What is he, Super Smash Bros. Brawl thread moderator? It's not like he's the only one who gets information on this, anyone can go to the site and quote it down here...

I don't like how the new "realistic" skins on some characters blend with their surroundings and other items. Link holding the bat just looks horrible.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Yeah, that's what she said.

Yeah, that's what she said.

Yeah, that's what she said.

Yeah, that's what she said.

Yeah, that's what she said.

Pretty awesome post for exploiting perverse humor.

Now that I look at it... you're right. That update was perfect for that kind of humor.

 

[Pyritie]

Two updates today. Lucas' moves and some lava stage thing.

 

[KKRP]

The lava stage is Norfair, Ridley's lair on Planet Zebes. Norfair is alot deeper than Brinstar and is the last area of the game before the small area where the final battle against Mother Brain takes place and the Metroid species first appears.

 

[Pyritie]

Update for today is Ike's final smash.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users.

But Lucas’s physical combat style is quite different. By which I mean, he does not have the same standard moves.

His strong up attack is a mentally-powered flip kick.

He unleashes a PK barrage on the ground with his down smash!

The finish of his back air attack is a meteor smash.

Oh! Is he grabbing the edge with his rope snake?!(Whoa! TMI)

<Side Special Move: PK Fire>

This is also quite different from Ness’s.

It flies perfectly sideways, even in air.

The flame pillar explodes!(Heh, that' what she said)

<Standard Special Move: PK Freeze>

If you charge it up and control it...

You can freeze your opponents!

And even more threatening is his PK Thunder. For those of you unfamiliar with the last game, or the one before that, remember this well.

<Up Special Move: PK Thunder>

You guide the PK Thunder with the Control Stick...

And hit yourself with it to launch!

Doing this helps you recover.

The angle you launch at depends upon the position at which the PK Thunder hits you. This launch also makes for a rather powerful attack, so I think it’s fine to even try it unexpectedly.

<Down Special Move: PSI Magnet>

This move absorbs the energy of projectile and other attacks and uses it to recover Lucas’s damage. It has a wide range of effectiveness, so give it a try when you get the chance.

If an enemy uses a projectile, that’s your chance.

Norfair is the location in Metroid where the enemy boss Ridley was. There was a lot of lava, and it seemed like a rather hot area.

Whoa! That looks hot.

As you can imagine, the lava level will indeed rise and cover the platforms. It’s dangerous to touch it.

That dangerous-to-the-touch lava comes flowing from a number of places, so be careful.

Hot! Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot-HOT!

EEEEEEEEEEK! It’s a lava wave!

The tension rises. Yes.

When the lava wave appears, a single safe area will also appear. If you can get in, you’ll be safe...but surely there will be quite a battle for that spot. Yet another bit of back and forth.

"Let me in!" "I’m not letting YOU in!"

It even has hatches that close in emergencies. Ahh.

You can barely dodge the massive lava wave with a great jump, but it’s a little difficult. Besides, you KNOW you want to win the battle for that safe area.

<Great Aether>

It’s Ike’s Final Smash, Great Aether. As the name suggests, it’s a more powerful version of Aether.

First things first: get the Smash Ball!(That's what she said)

Do a standard special move to swing your blazing sword!(That's what she said)

Great!(That's what she said)

AETHER!(Uhh... climax?)

Then he just plummets.(Yeah, that's what she said)

At the moment of impact, your foes are launched!(...that's what she said?)

That feels gooood... It’s exciting and exhilarating.(Self explanatory)

But, you do have make sure you hit with the Final Smash. Its range of impact is pretty large, so you just have to get the right timing.

Try to lift up multiple enemies!

In multiplayer brawls, you can move freely as long as you aren’t the one who’s suffering the Final Smash.

Ike is invincible during his Final Smash, so you can’t really meddle with him. But as for the people he’s finishing off...?

Maybe you could add to their woes. Could this be a plan?

That was awesome.

 

[donut3.5]

At first I almost thought that the whole thing was Nintendo's writing.
Then I checked who authored this post x.x
This looks like one of the coolest final smashes yet, most of them have been so disappointing :\
--donut3.5--

 

[Pyritie]

Yay for more perverse humor.

 

[Kimbo]

This may be a late reply, but pikachu and chari have ...horrible scaling when compared to eachother.

 

[JarrardKO]

Thank you captain obvious!

 

[Kimbo]

Ummm... okay? Spam much???

I'd still want chari upper scaled, him being that small takes away the power or cool/brutal factors.

 

[Pyritie]

He's small because otherwise he'd stick his head through the ceiling and such.

 

[Just_Spectating]

pikachu is normally big and fat anyway.

 

[THE_END]

Also, if you read Ike's description, it says Ness isn't gonna be in this game :O

 

[donut3.5]

We've known lucas has replaced ness for a very long time
--donut3.5--

 

[THE_END]

..oh..right I feel stupid

 

[Pyritie]

Yesterday's update was something about taunts, today's is something about handicaps.

 

[KKRP]

Yeah, three taunts.

 

[Pyritie]

Metaknight's special moves for today.

 

[Razorbrain]

Ummm... okay? Spam much???

I'd still want chari upper scaled, him being that small takes away the power or cool/brutal factors.

Bowser aswell????

 

[Just_Spectating]

bowser did get scaled up a bit from mellee.

 

[Pyritie]

Today's update is that you can watch other people play via the wifi thingy and you can bet on who you think will win.

 

[THE_END]

Hmm high stakes Wii Super Smash gambling..I like it

 

[Pyritie]

Ice Climbers final smash, Training Mode (looks kinda interesting), and some smart bomb thing.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Starfox bombs, awesome!

 

[Pyritie]

You can change the color of your character by pressing buttons on the character-selection screen!

This is one of the many joys of Smash. This time, each character has about six different color variations.

We’ve added Fire Mario to the selection.

He’s white! Is this Yeti DK?

What’s this?! Dark Link?!

The Fusion Suit is a must.

The Dark Fox. That’s pretty cool.

Th-those... I’ve seen those before somewhere...

This is the Zelda of old.

Golden colors and fallen angel colors.

Hmm... These are the colors of an ordinary soldier.

Snake changed his camouflage!

The end result is a great wealth of varieties, so I hope you’ll all find your favorite color combinations.

..............................

 

[donut3.5]

I laughed at the leopard print on snake.
Dark link looks awesome.
--donut3.5--

 

[Gilles]

I agree. That link looks sweet. So does that Fox and Mario. DK is pretty cool.

 

[FireEffect]

Yeah ssb and ssbm's DK colors were awful. Red Green and Blue.
