BTW: Has anyone heard of E for All at the LA Convention Center like a couple weeks from now? http://www.eforallexpo.com/ Supposedly they will have SSBB playable at the convention. I'm so totally there (even if it means ditching my last class Friday) if I can actually play the game. | ||

1st off, the controls were annoying to get used to. There are no X/Y buttons (jumping) and no L/R buttons. The shield is the B button on the Wii mote (it's on the back, and it's kinda a bitch to press, for those of you who have Wii's, you can try it out) and jumping is done on the d-pad (btw it's a d-pad, not like the mini joystick thing). I only played the thing once (line was long and wasn't worth waiting to play too many times). It was 4 person ffa, 2 min time limit, items on (basically getting the smash ball would = insta win cause you could get like 2 kills pretty easily). I used Link (he has a kickass new black color, makes him look evil) and I would've used Pokemon Trainer, except they didn't have him (they didn't have Kirby/Snake either =/). Ike is more of a Link than a Marth/Roy. His attacks have a lot less arc to them and they generally just look awkward. Metaknight seemed to be the best there, just imagine Kirby with a sword that does multiple hits, lol. I didn't really pay too much attention to Diddy Kong, Sonic seemed pretty good also. The game itself looks great, but I was kinda disappointed in the levels (the levels themselves looked good, but they were just weird to play on). Most of the levels are kinda wacko (like Rainbow Cruise wacko). There seemed to be less "straight-up" levels (or maybe they just didn't showcase them) and the game just felt really messy. I played on this sky level where the platforms could actually be broken and shit was just breaking everywhere and people were falling off the clouds and shit. L-canceling/Wavedashing/Short hopping: I tried to short hop, but the d-pad made it weird to do (I usually use X/Y to jump). I didn't have enough time to try to L-cancel or Wavedash (stupid Metaknights spamming forward+b and shit like that). Other than that: Super Mario Galaxy = way rox Advanced Wars on DS (new one) = awesome Fire Emblem on the Wii = 2 good Resident Evil on Wii = looks good, plays shitty Ninja Gaiden on DS = way too badass Metal Gear Solid 4 = badass. Hajime no Ippo boxing game on Wii = fun as hell | ||

I hope not.. in any case I think they're getting rid of clones so falco's most likely gone (yeah i know he plays nothing like fox, but still is a clone). falcon will probably be in though, he's been there since the beginning. and chu's pichu can be useful + Show Spoiler +  | ||

Anyway, new character: King Dedede! Coming from many kirby games, he is usually either portrayed as Kirby's enemy or Kirby's somewhat enemy, or just somewhat of a hindrance some time in most kirby games. If I had to guess, he'll have some powereful range and attacks, but be rather slow. Now there are 3 characters from a franchise (kirby), with two of the characters not having their own games. Perhaps Sakurai is shipping his own series too hard? Either that, or there will be lots of characters so that he can afford to put minor series characters in the game. PS. Less than 4 characters away from SSBM character levels now! | ||

Now how many people saw Captain Olimar coming... Oo;; ...okay, maybe it was pretty obvious. So are the five colors of Pikmin going to act like Nana in ice climbers, or are they just going to follow, and not attack?....we shall see..... http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pikmin.html | ||

Because Captain Falcon is most likely still in (after all, there's been Assist Trophies and such from F-Zero, and he's been in since the original). On January 09 2008 23:18 ZerG~LegenD wrote: You can play with just a wiimote, wiimote+nunchuk, classic controller, or gamecube controller. Wiimote is apparently kinda stupid though, so I'd recommend at least the wiimote+nunchuk option, if not one of the controllers Do you need a nunchuck to play this game? Or is it enought with only the wiimote?  | ||

Although his B moves do not seem the same, his A moves are relatively long-range and powerful. Style wise, I guess that fits Ganondorf a bit more than Captain Falcon. As for a general melee speed character, I would definitely say Sonic fits the niche Captain Falcon left. | ||

But I guess we'll just have to wait til the 24th (Japanese release date) to see, unless they put it on the dojo first Is there really any chance that CF will stay? He's definitely my favorite character, but it seems odd that he's not being plastered on the website - maybe he's a secret/unlockable character now? | ||
