Well, of the two, only Bowser is playable. Samurai Goro is an assist trophy.Quote:

Actually, he's just Bowser's Final Smash, and is only temporary. But still, that's the best news yet in my opinion. Today's update is also pretty good, since it details the different button configurations for some attacks with the different controls.
I'm curious which of the 4 play styles will be the most comfortable. The gamecube controller I'm sure will operate pretty much the same way it did with melee, and the retro controller attachment won't be too much different than that (although the left analog stick might get annoying)....
however I can almost see the remote + nunchuk combo being really easy to work with.
On the plus side, you can probably control the special and standard attacks with seperate fingers (thumb for A, trigger for B), but you lose the quick-grab that your index finger would otherwise control with, say, melee.
seems like the guys making the game visit this forums = D
Standard Attack
http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/3...070705asw5.jpg
http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/1...070705eti2.jpg
If you just press the attack button, you’ll perform a standard attack. These are generally speedy.
Strong Attack
http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/5...070705bst2.jpg
http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/8...070705far6.jpg
When you tilt the stick in a direction, you’ll do a stronger attack in that direction. These attacks usually have longer reach.
Smash Attack
http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/7...070705czg7.jpg
http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/5...070705grw8.jpg
Now, if you simultaneously tilt the stick and press the button, you’ll do a smash attack. These are powerful!
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/6...070705dtu3.jpg
By pressing and holding the attack button during a smash attack, you can build up power. Power up and unleash it when the time is right!
A new stage this time.
A bunch of these stages shown so far don't seem too inspiring. Mostly different visual representations of stuff we've seen in the previous games. This stage will probably be especially annoying since it's not an island stage.
Well, it seems i`ll actually be able to play since i got a modded wii after all = D

Man, I remember reading on another forum last week, some guy was saying the Bridge of Eldin would be a great stage from Twilight Princess. I guess he got his wish.

There's a lot of talk concerning whether or not the Smashville stage means that there'll be an Animal Crossing playable character or not. On the one hand, there's never been a stage in Smash Brothers not also represented by a character, but now that we have the Assist Trophies, it could just mean they're paying tribute to one of those,

And unleashes Hyper Beam!
Hyper Beam is truly awe-inspiring. I’d avoid it at all costs, if I were you.
And we finally learn at least one of the ways to get Zero Suit Samus. Using her Final Smash destroys her Power Suit. I imagine she'll also be a playable character in her own right as well. At least there probably isn't a chance she'll come back suited when if she dies, you can only use the Final Smash once per match.
I really hope she'll be a playable character in her own right. It would really suck if you had to use Samus' final smash every time you wanted to use ZSS, and even worse if you have to avoid using the final smash if you don't like using ZSS.
Edit: That's assuming she'll have different attributes and movesets, which I'm sure she will.
Yeah.....that's pretty messed up......
I wonder if Zelda has to do the same to transform into Sheik =o
The thing is, the Zelda in this Super Smash is from Twilight Princess, where there was no Sheik present in the game. Unless of course, they just decided to use the character model from TP and will still include Sheik since Zelda had it in Melee.Quote:

Before in Melee, it was do something specific, get challenged, defeat them, and it's unlocked. Let's just hope this is how to unlock her. Considering how much press her character has gotten, and considering she's supposed to have a very different fighting style, it wouldn't be right for this to be the only way.

It looks like you can throw the pieces of her suit that end up on the ground.
Hey. Stop that... QUIT IT! I mean it!
Personal Note: If they dont let you choose Zamus by holding A like shiek, how are you going to use her in a competitive play?Quote:
Take that!
Today's update is about Zero Suit Samus. Not much info revealed, but it does confirm speculation that she's basically a weaker-but-faster Samus without her power suit. Her overall look reminds me of Sheik.
I just hope she's playable under different circumstances. Like Ryllharu said, maybe she's unlockable after you use Samus' Final Smash for the first time.
Here's crossing my fingers that they'll make him/her separate characters.Quote:

It makes sense if they are using the Twilight Princess Zelda too. There is no more Sheik attached to her, so she becomes a big magic damage, slower moving character. Maybe they've really increased Zelda's damage to make up for it. But now we've got ZSS, making up for how Sheik used to play.

Missed all of this week's updates since I've been away, and I come back to find Knuckle Joe! Fucking awesome.
All the other updates were similarly kewl. I love the change they made to Yoshi, as well as the sound of the Footstool Jump.
The Footstool jump is amazing. A lot of characters will benefit from this, especially by adding meteor smashes, ex. Falco.
Donkey Kong's final smash isn't what I was expecting. Looks kinda silly.
Dum, doo, dum, dummmm...
Item update today, giving more possibility for an Animal Crossing character.
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/6...butgrinht4.jpg
The Pitfall: You can't help but grin.
holy shit is that... ike!!!!???
Oh wow, I totally wasn't expecting that.
I don't even know who that is, but I feel excited somehow. I remember on other forums, there was actually some talk of another Fire Emblem character people thought had a good chance of getting in, but I never paid attention to it b/c I've never played the FE games and didn't really expect them to add another character from that franchise.
I hope this means Roy hasn't gotten sacked (I say Roy, because I don't believe they would actually take Marth out). Or maybe they'll have all 3.
This guy looks like another Marth clone.
Do you guys honestly believe any character is going to get sacked?
well....mayyybe Sheik....
Well there's no proof that they won't. They didn't from SSB to SSBM, but one example isn't proof of any kind of trend. There's a lot of "clone" characters they could take out or revamp - like Roy or Pichu.Quote:

Anyway, there would be no marketing advantage to holding back characters. The models have been built, the moves have been developed and balanced, and people have already incorporated them into their own battle styles.
I like Luigi so much better than Mario. ;) That side-B works like a charm. Although I must admit that Mario's cape can come in a handy for a few moments.
doc mario >>>>> capt falcon
I really like the look of the Fire Emblem Castle Stage. All the best parts of the Zelda Stages from past games, but it also collapses.
More importantly, today they announced that they are beefing up the single player modes. They've added a side scroller of all things. That hasn't really worked too well in most fighting games that have had them, but this one looks pretty well polished instead of simply tacked on. They even gave it a story with character developments!
Screenshots and a short movie clip at the site.
Wow....are they going to actually have a full-blown story mode this time? It actually looks like it could be fun! =]
Also, obviously we can tell Peach is going to be in it.
Some of Ike's moves are up today. His up+B looks like it works like Kirby's cutter, and his chargeable B attack is probably going to work like Roy's B. There's also something of a confirmation that he'll be a "heavy" character, unlike Marth.
The Smoke Ball seems a bit dubious to me, though. Like the Nintendogs, I honestly can't grasp the advantage of obscuring your own field of vision. If you're good enough to play without needing to see what you're doing, then you don't really need a crazy-ass item in the first place. They're not really going for effectiveness with this one.
Edit: That said, I guess it could be kinda fun when playing with a room full of people.
There were a lot of items in the previous games that never really seemed useful for anything but chucking at the others.
Yeah, I'm really just complaining for the sake of it. I wouldn't mind so much if the item were at least something iconic from a well-known game.
Actually, it can probably be used to help hide the mines or at the very least to spam them until shit gets chaotic.
I'm kinda excited to set items on high w/ only smoke balls to see the colorful chaos.
"Smoke Balls, Pokeballs, and Assist Trophies" set on very high is the casual player's answer to Tournament rules.
No love for bananas? :(
I can't wait to try out Ike, I want to try his B special move so bad. :)
Ha....perhaps.....but when I actually feel like playing serious, I much prefer to have items disabled entirely.Quote:

Im so glad they kept to the old school pokemon. :o
Wow, that is going to be one of the most confusing and therefore awesome characters to play. I wonder what they mean by stamina. Will the pokemon get dizzy if they're in too long?
Yeah....I get the feeling it would disturb the flow of the game too much if they don't do the pokemon transition seamlessly enough.
Imagine 4 players using the pokemon trainer o_O
It would create chaos. Which is exactly what a game like this needs. Besides it'll be a good way to sniff out who can pay attention in a situation like that.
Well I mean for example, it creates an easy way to duck out of the heat of battle by swapping pokemon. Maybe it'll end up being similar to the zelda/sheik transformation.
I honestly can't imagine how they'll pull off the Pokemon Trainer without it seeming awkward switching them in and out all the time.
It's a cool concept that the Trainer acts as a ghost character behind the Pokemon whom you have full control over, but aren't they essentially just adding 3 more pokemon characters to the roster? Instead of adding Charizard, Ivysaur, and Squirtle as individuals, they're just mashing them into 1 character.
Also, today's update:

He did? when was that? o.0Quote:

Bunch of really awesome updates since last time. Not sure if I'm digging Diddy's special moves. They seem a bit complicated. I guess I'm just not in agreement with the whole charging factor. But he's probably really fun to play anyway.
Today's 1st update is gonna mean trouble for some hardcore fans. Messing with Mario's move list? It could work, but there will be so much whining.
2nd update is great! I'm gonna love the flying-type Pokemon stage. :cool:
But Mario's watergun pushes opponents "a great distance." If you time it just right, and have everyone near the edge of a small stage (Like old Mario Bros or Game&Watch stages in Melee), or close enough to the ledges, you could kill three opponents in one shot. Even not near a ledge, you could cram them into a corner and throw a mine, shove them all into a mine already laid. It's probably blows back thrown items as well.
Who cares if that changes his move list. There's too much potential in that new move.
he still has mario tornado...
Water gun knocking captain falcon off the stage followed by a cape when he attempts to up+B back up == instant death.
Mario's tornado sucked. Dr Mario's tornado, however, was pretty decent.
After I get my driver's license, I'll save up some money for Wii. And it's great that I can use my GC controllers, I just need to my GC back. I played SSBM all the time on GC.
Can't wait to try ZS Samus, Wario and Snake.
I made sure I got a Wii before the Christmas season starts winding up. I have a feeling that if you don't buy it as a bundle soon, you won't be able to find them at all around late October. I picked up a bare bones bundle (Wii sports and Wii Play). I've still yet to see one in an actual store.
Come December 5th, if you don't already own a Wii, chances are you won't find one.
Zelda all the way for me. Though ZS Samus will be the first one I try to unlock.
I'm more interested in Pit and Meta Knight. Kirby was always appealing to me, aside from his definite lack of speed, and Meta Knight seems to be shaping up to be a faster, more mobile version of Kirby. Pit's just cool 'cause of the gliding thing.
Personally I hope Mario's water gun has ridiculously long range. Getting blasted by that thing from across the stage would be crazy.

Unless they use, like, Magikarp instead.
Alas, the newest assist trophy... At the very least I can give them credit for having Fire Emblem 7 on their minds.

That's probably is how you do unlock her. Either way, that's what I'm pushing for.
Lyn is a totally different swordfighter then any of those though, her style rocks.Quote:

All jokes about "1v1, no items, final destination!" aside, it'd be cool to have at least one flat level with a lot of room to move around, and without this degree of randomness that's been present in every stage so far. I enjoy those.
