Yeah... so uncharacteristic of Yoshi... but if Nintendo can make it work then I don't have any complaints.
Petey Piranha
![]()
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary, it’s rumored that there will be boss appearances.
This time, I’d like to introduce the first boss you encounter: Petey Piranha!
![]()
He... He’s huge!
![]()
Too intense!
Locked in the iron cages he holds are the princesses, Peach and Zelda. He looks angry. Wh-what is he doing?
![]()
He’s attacking with the iron cages!
You can save either Zelda or Peach, depending on which cage you damage more and subsequently break.
![]()
What will happen to the one you don’t save?!
I'd save Zelda, definitely.
Superspicy Curry
![]()
This is extremely spicy curry that seems to crackle with flames.
![]()
Is... Is it safe to eat that?
Of course, this is no ordinary food, because when you eat it...
![]()
It’s so spicy, flames shoot out of your mouth!
Is this funny? Is it a joke? You just keep spitting out flames.
This is different from the flames of a Fire Flower, because you continue spewing these flames as you perform attacks.
![]()
You can even do this!
You can do combos one would normally never think of. I’m not sure if it’s painful or fun.
Four Special Move Types
The actions that really define the personality of each character are special moves! In Brawl, you can do four different moves with just one button and different directional tilts on the Control Stick.
![]()
These are the four types. Control for each is quite simple.
<Standard special moves>
![]()
Many of these are basic attacks, like the firing of a weapon.
(Normal Special Move: Mach Tornado)
<Side special moves>
![]()
These are bold attacks that launch in the direction you tilt the stick.
(Side Special Move: Triple Dash)
<Up special moves>
![]()
These are crucial. They’re used to do high jumps and for recovering when you’re falling off the stage.
(Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop)
<Down special moves>
![]()
Many of these do unusual things, like reflect enemy attacks.
(Down Special Move: Dimensional Cape)
Our model was Meta Knight.
To enjoy more of the depth of special moves, try holding the button down longer to charge up attacks, rapidly pressing the button repeatedly, or tilting the Control Stick while doing the moves. You might also want to try them in midair.
Surprisingly, there’s a variety of hidden uses for many of them.
Andross
![]()
It’s the old enemy of the Star Fox team, Andross! He appears here in his original form, the one with the most impact.
![]()
Whoa! He’s huge.
![]()
He swiftly moves to the back of the scene...
![]()
And begins inhaling...
![]()
Then he spits polygonal panels out of his mouth!
Like a meteor storm, these panels come flying from the back of the scene to the front. Um, what am I supposed to call these things, anyway?
![]()
They just keep flying out like crazy!
"Only I have the brains to rule Lylat!"
Uh...OK. He said it, not me...
It's still a horrid piece of crap.
Is it me or are the last few updates a bit disapointing?
Eh, you're saying that Pikachu fits in the same game as Samus and Zelda?Gah, so low-poly. It doesn't fit at all.
Pokémon Trainer: Special Moves
The Pokémon Trainer commands three types of Pokémon. His down special move is a Pokémon Change, so each Pokémon has three special moves!
That’s nine in all. Amazing!
<Squirtle Up Special Move: Waterfall>
![]()
Squirtle splashes up the water torrent.
<Squirtle Side Special Move: Withdraw>
![]()
Is this the turtle’s so-called shell? It slides along the ground.
<Ivysaur Standard Special Move: Bullet Seed>
![]()
It fires a rapid seed barrage straight up in the air!
<Ivysaur Up Special Move: Vine Whip>
![]()
It can grab the edge with its whip! That was TOO close!
<Charizard Standard Special Move: Flamethrower>
![]()
We just had to have this. It is Charizard, after all.
<Charizard Side Special Move: Rock Smash>
![]()
It smashes rocks with its head. Bam! A solid hit from this delivers a mighty blow!!
Supplement your shortcomings and take advantage of your strengths. You must cooperate to push on!
Rigged.Characters like Pit, Meta Knight and the Pokémon Trainer’s Charizard are envied at first glance for their wings.
Rumor has it they can use those wings to sail through sky like gliders. But that can’t be true, can it?
![]()
They... They’re really flying!
Magnificent!
From the perspective of the rules of Smash, I sense that mastering this skill could be quite beneficial. That is, IF you can master it...
![]()
First, do a midair jump!
![]()
If you continue holding the jump button, you’ll start gliding.
You don’t have to hold down the jump button, though. At the peak of your midair jump, you can also rapidly tilt the Control Stick backward to forward to link the jump to a glide.
![]()
Tilt the stick down (or forward) to angle down.
![]()
Tilt the stick up (or back) to aim high.
Since it’s glider-style flight, you fly based on how you’re angled. You can control both your angle and your speed by pitching your "nose" up or down.
![]()
You can’t change direction, though, so be careful!
If you stall out in midair or get attacked, your flight will get cancelled.
In the regular WWSM, there is an elephant on the lift, not a pigIn the WarioWare games, you must master a variety of microgames in 5 seconds, making them the fastest and shortest games ever. You might want to look into it in more detail.
In trying to recreate that atmosphere in Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve created an outrageous stage!
![]()
Stay dry!
![]()
Dodge!
![]()
Jump!
Wh-what the heck is this? What is going on? What kind of joke is this?
For each challenge you clear, there is, of course, a reward.
![]()
The typical screen looks like this.
Ah, what floor would you like, Smash?
you lost me right thereHmmm...has anyone noticed that you can play with any controlled? In other words, it won't be using any motion-sensing at all! Has nobody noticed that?!?!
But really, that's just making it Super Smash Bros. Melee 2. The graphics aren't much better, it's adding a bunch of new characters, and some new modes.
They're amazingly better.
And it is using the motion sensor, in the Wii remote and nunchuck combo, it probably just doesn't use the point-at-screen function, for obvious reasons.
most people will just use the classic gamecube controllers anyway
Lost me. I know you can use the other controllers (Wii Classic, Gamecube, and the Wii remote turned sideways) so would the motion sensing just be...an option?
For some reason, Diddy has a weapon made of wood. Is that jungle technology?
<Standard Special Move: Peanut Popgun>
![]()
It’s a peanut shooter!
This is Diddy’s projectile weapon. You can boost the speed of your shots by holding down the button...
![]()
But if you hold it down too long, the gun explodes, so be careful.
Also, if the shell breaks and a peanut pops out, you can apparently eat the peanut.
![]()
You recover a little damage when you eat it. Is this for real?
<Up Special Move: Rocketbarrel Boost>
![]()
It’s a double-barreled jet engine!
If you charge this up before using it, your jump power increases. And if you tilt the Control Stick left or right while charging it up...
![]()
You can even curve your flight path!
If you get attacked while riding your Rocketbarrel Blast, you’ll lose your barrels...and they can sometimes go flying away on their own.
![]()
Danger! Danger!
