Yes.
They could leave fox just as he was and he’ll still be nerfed. Why you ask, something the developers said when the game was announced, L-canceling and/or wave dashing will be gone. So no more reflector combos except maybe against a wall. They still haven’t said what there doing about this yet or shown either of these in a video as far as i can tell. I still vote for keeping L-canceling.
The developers of Brawl have never made a statement about L-cancelling or wavedashing to my knowledge. There really hasn’t been confirmation to changes to the basic system in the game. Most, if not all, reports saying engine changes are as fake as the interview stating that Ice Climbers and Mr. Game & Watch are not returning.
I’d like to see where they said that. wave dashing has already been seen in the trailers. there’s a big thread about it on smashboards and here’s a pic of wario doing it: http://myweb.cableone.net/rebelart/WarioWavedash.gif
I also doubt that l-cancelling will be done away with because it’s been around since ssb64 and nintendo has always been aware of l-cancelling and wave dashing but choose to keep both in the game. unless nintendo wants to purposely dumb down the gameplay i’m sure they are well aware of how much l-cancelling deepens the game and will keep both mechanics.
Lemme see if i can dig up this info again I remember it being in a developers journal way back before the new site launched. I think I remember it being talk about in this thread or at least another brawl thread.
I searched around for a hour or so and couldn’t find what i was looking for. The old site has been replaced by the new smash brothers dojo site. I’m going to search a bit more tomorrow but I have to sleep now. From what I remember at least they were supposed to remove one of the new mechanics to make it the learning curve lower. I remember fighting with my friends about which one we each want to see stay. Does any one else remember this or have i done far too much damage to my brain?
Well, everyone expected today’s update after the conference yesterday. It’s good to see a crystal clear version of the video that played behind Reggie.
YUCK. I really wished they’d tossed out that horrible Rare DK design, or at least had made some improvements on it. =/
LOL @ the DK pic with Zelda and Link! 
I surmise even if the same engine tweaks that allowed WDing/L-canceling are not present in Brawl there will be many more glitches/programming tweaks to be exploited.
Sometimes peeps, change is good.:pleased:

HERE WE GO BANANA SLAMMA!!!**
Holy shit where is that from? I dont remember that from any of the vids. Lol Wario’s Washdash actually goes kinda far for that fat bastard.

go there and put in the site you are looking for and post a link when you find it. i want to see where they said wavedashing would be axed.
He won’t find it, because no such quote exists.

Yeah thats up on the official website Syn.
Actually I think that could be gasp His dash elbow attack from Warioland 2 and 3!!!:wow:
It only makes sense, seeing the way he’s posed in midair and how there is no slowing down once he hits the ground.
I was expecting the E3 show to at least have like a 3-4 minute new trailer that would show off a new character or something. This is possibly the worst update in awhile and quite possibly the worst showing for the big N at E3.
haha, good eye. now that i look at it, i do believe its the elbow move.
I don’t see what the big deal is. I think the game will be awesome regardless of wavedashing.
Don’t tell me. Show me.

They game will do great regardless of wavedashing or not. But im pretty sure it would piss of some ppl if it got taken out.
