Nice cover. Link is representin’
hey guys ign nabbed some more screen shots from NOE apparently…nothing entirely new but i’m sure you guys don’t mind seeing more of zero suit samus…especially her delivering a boot to pit. and the picture with link and ike fighting looks pretty tight might have to put that for my wall paper cause i know i’m gonna have to deal with that match up until the next one comes out.
thatbox art is mighty crappy. i’d expect something more epic than the characters standing around. seriously, it disappoints me. i hope it’s not final.
Wow, Mario got a new attack. I wonder who else they’ll change?
Mario got some tweaks = every character got hit. EVERY character. Mario tornado changed into a normal attack, possibly replaced neutral air A flying kick?! :wasted::looney:
F.L.U.D.D. getting some recognition. i wonder if Luigi Gets his Poltergust 3000!?
chargable while in block mode, interesting new tactic.
No damage, but instead makes up for it by having edge guarding cappabilities! whoa…
i wonder if you can aim it…
yeah, Brawl is item-centric, ya’ll. The currect smash competitive community will have a fit. They will have EVERYTHING banned… oh and fuck thier “wobble-banning” shinanigans.
PK stadium 2, the flying stage intrigues me the most. Short hopping will be hell on that stage, ggpo c.falcon and fox.
I wonder where the Pokemon Trainer will be in the background? hmm.
Top tournament planners said they would be having items usable in the first smash tournaments until they end up ruining the fluidness of gameplay (being easy to use and randomly overpowered and causing random explosions for no reason) I think they will actually stay in tournaments for quite awhile. Wobbling is still allowed at FC so never fear, it will live on. I am sure after Brawl comes out all future Melee tournaments will allow wobbling.
BTW… did we just lose the cape? …
i hope so, and online brawl cant ban wobbling (if it’s still in the game).
and the cape is F+B, mario tornado is D+B.
Oops you are right. Read something during the charging of the water incorrectly.
Wow, changed Mario’s specials.
Didn’t see that coming at all, especially since we’d seen all 4 of Mario’s specials already in the trailers.
Maybe there’s a chance Yoshi will lose his god-awful egg roll move!
…seriously.
This either means that there are more standard moves, or the Mario Tornado replaces an existing move. If it got rid of anything, I’m thinking d-air. The moves were slighly, kinda, almost, similar to begin with (though, not really).
Mario is gonna have godly edge guardian capabilities against characters that have long returns. And Pokemon Stadium 2 is already my favorite stage of the game, that’s gonna be cool as shit when the air part comes up, imagine playing someone floaty like Luigi on that stage.
Cool Mario’s Tornado is a normal. This severely limits his recovery unless that increased his jumping potential. A fully charged F.L.U.D.D. sounds like fun.
I disagree and think neuteral air A will be replaced with the tornado…
heh FLUDD has knockback but assuming cape is still there, can still reflect…I wonder how much knockback will FLUDD have and whether or not the opponent’s damage % will affect it’s power.
been playing Mario from the start and it’s a possibility since mario’s tornado was able to give him a small jump boost + cape for forward movemtn (not counting the triple jump) that this is either a good or bad thing…
Mario still has his up + B, cape, and air dodge for recovery, even if tornado doesn’t rise anymore.
But I’m pretty sure I saw it rise in the trailer. Also, Sakurai didn’t say it would be a normal, he asked “will it be a normal?” Maybe he’s hinting at a 5th special move for each character. (A+B maybe?)
…seriously.
Didn’t his tornado rise during one of the trailers while attacking Link?
well my thought was SHOULD it become neuteral a it can still be used for recovery…going off on your idea or a 5th move…either A+B or…an extra normal like rapid pushing A in midair.
and I was just hoping for mario to have more air options like samus being able (under certain circumstances) to make a 5+ jump heh (I do play Mario in melee of course so I want my man to have his options lol)
Did you even bother to read the rest of my post?
…seriously.
I’m going to have to disagree with both of you…At first I too was thinking of the ‘special move becoming a normal’ possibility but from what I’ve seen so far and noticed is that everytime they’ve shown mario do the tornado attack he’s been in the air…So my theory is that when he’s grounded he pulls out f.l.u.d.d. and when he’s in the air he does mario tornado.
blech…a fifth special move…ok…that sounds cool but having to hit 2 buttons for it i feel may not work out as fluidly as one might think in the long run…especially for this game but that’s probably just me
My probably-wrong prediction for tomorrow’s update: NEW CHALLENGER - Terra Branford.
Beat me to it. I was about to say the same.
If true, I wonder if that means that characters that formerly had ground-only specials will get a ground and an air version. For instance, on the ground Peach’s d+B will pluck a vegetable, but in the air d+B will do something completely different.
I think that’s definitely how it should go…what do you suppose they’d give her for a down special in the air? I was going to say her PMS powers from super princess peach
