The Official Super Smash Bros Brawl Thread

Smash mode has returned!! ^-^

You mean Break the Targets is back, right? xD

Yes, it seems the Break the Targets mode is making a return with some upgrades, and also, there's a new feature that lets you record three minute matches and save them onto your Wii or SD card.

Welp, we kept asking, and asking, and we finally see another new character.

Today's update is none other than:

King Dedede

The self-proclaimed king of Dream Land formally joins the brawl! Mechanizing his wooden mallet, he delivers a mighty, earth-shaking blow!

He joins as a member of the heavyweight class alongside Bowser and Donkey Kong. Can he defeat Kirby?!

Being Kirby's version of Bowser, I can pretty much say that he'll share some of Kirby's moves, like being able to suck people up, but, instead of taking their power, he'll spit them right out, kind of like a throw.

Here's a bit of background info for those who aren't familiar with him. King Dedede is basically Kirby's main rival, since Meta Knight goes by his own rules and usually doesn't bother Kirby unless he needs to. King Dedede isn't actually evil, but he's more of a major asshole since he keeps picking on everyone who lives in Dream Land by either stealing their food or making them dreamless by building a castle ontop of the Fountain of Dreams. The only reason he gets away with these things is because he rules over Dream Land, seeing as he's the king of it all.

GAH! I got lazy and forgot to put in the update.

So yeah, today's update is Dedede's special moves. I like his rocket hammer. ^^

Double post FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

Today's update: STAGE BUILDER

Those who enjoy a little effort may be able to enjoy this stage builder for the rest of their lives.

First, start from the initialize setting.

You start by choosing the size of the stage, the background pattern, and the music that will play. Oops! Sorry. For music, you?ll only be able to choose from the songs you have available.

This is the edit screen!

Basically, you choose parts from the palette on the side and place them in the field.

The controls vary by controller, but each one can do the following:

* Flip parts left to right
* Enlarge or shrink parts
* Zoom in or out on the screen
* Swap palettes
* Erase

...Among other things.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can save a name and comments for the stage, as well.

You can change the music on the save screen. Choose something that matches the mood of your stage.

And I?m happy that this is compatible with SD cards. You don?t have to worry about size, so make as many stages as you like.

Also, if you?ve finished registering someone as both a Wii Friend and a Smash friend, you?ll be able to send custom stages to each other.

Now, for those who hate putting effort into such things, we?ve also prepared something you can enjoy as well.

"Submit" ...?

That?s right! You can use your Wi-Fi connection to send stages you?ve made to Nintendo! (However, you can?t submit repeatedly. Maybe just once per day?)

And a stage selected from the entire daily collection will be sent from Nintendo to your Wii. A stage made by someone else will come to you over the Internet once per day!

DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! That?s the shocking truth. This means you?ll be able to experience a new stage every day?the flavor of the day, if you will. However, the plan is for that stage to vanish once one day has passed. It?s a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

You can submit in both the Snapshots mode and the Stage Builder mode, allowing everyone to enjoy the creations of others. The fun of sharing is one of the ways that I wanted to take advantage of Wi-Fi for something other than pure battling.

Today?s stage has lots of traps...

This is our ideal current plan. We still don?t know the exact service period. And future tuning may result in changes to the spec.

But for now, please look forward to it!

...............................I think I just cried a bit from joy.

Today's update: The return of Classic mode

This is the classic single-player mode—hence the name, Classic.

In this mode, you try to clear each stage as you go.

Choose your favorite character and a difficulty level, then start the match!

Fight whoever appears!

The world you fight in is pretty much determined based on stage number. Stage 1 is based on The Legend of Zelda. Stage 3 is based on Pokémon. And each time, the characters are chosen randomly.

You’ll also find the status of enemies and rules of the match vary slightly to include things like Giant matches, Metal matches, and Team battles.

Heart icons indicate your allies.

You cleared the stage!

So... You just keep playing until you reach the end. Easy to understand, right?

Huh? You’re wondering what the coins on the Stage Clear screen are for? Um, you think they’re there to make it look more lively?

No, no. You earn and save these up little by little as you play. And supposedly you can use them somewhere. But no—you don’t use them to shop.

This one is significant, because it shows how Stock Matches will look now.

Very stupid update but well sakurai has to keep us informed until february 10XD!

Actually, it proved to us that stock matches have a new look and that, coincidentaly, Master Hand is also back. So, it technically isn't useless, but you can't expect all updates to be epic.
