Brawl gets even More Special

Mic_128 · Sep 13, 2007

Special Melee was one of the things that had the most potential in Smash Bros Melee, but was sadly limited (Stamina mode) lame (coin mode) and simply pointless (Fixed Camera) however Special Melee is no more.

Enter: Special Brawl

Like invisable Melee, the modes of Special Brawl include item effects, like the Metal Box, or the new Spicey Curry, and even weapon effects like the Flower from Lips Stick. And what's more is that unlike Special Melee you can have multiple Special Brawl modes on at the same time, so you can have Metal Bunny Brawl.

Or you can go nuts and have them all on.

Is special brawl a separate mode from normal brawl? Cos' it looks like the type in Melee where you click on the top header to change the settings. In this case is it still a "mode"?

Chuc · Sep 13, 2007

That's 6561 different special brawls.. Beats Melee's 10.

RandomGuy42 · Sep 13, 2007

One interesting thing I noticed on the Metal Mario screen was this:

"Play in Metal Form, making you flinch less"

Does this mean the Metal Status has changed, and now gives the "Super Armour" trait the Heavyweights have?

silver777 · Sep 13, 2007

this update is made of win.

seriously, it made me LOL so hard XDXDXD.

i am looking forward in putting all the options on SNAKE!! LOLOLOL!!

AlFighter27 · Sep 13, 2007

This mode is gunna be EPIC!!! GIANT METAL LIGHT ANGLED BRAW FTW!!!

Leobenmc · Sep 13, 2007

My Special Brawl of choice?
300% Mega Bunny Metal Curry Fast Brawl
:D
Tis a shame, though, that Stamina looks unchangable. 150HP returns

Wreked · Sep 13, 2007

This is very cool. Definitely cooler than what I thought it would be like. I just hope that you can change the stamina, as Leobenmc said.

GDhunter95 · Sep 13, 2007

I was kind of hoping for more customization actually. Where you could set differant settings for each player/team. Create a Mini Mario Vs Giant Dk match or something similar. Ah well, step in the right direction I guess.

Ooooh l337 math skills :laugh:

I take it the assumption then is that you can only have 1 option from each row? I mean some of them are obvious you can only take one like Mega and Mini or stamina and 300%, but why not have flower and bunny on at the same time? or Metal and Clear (which I assume is invis).

Mini Bunny Light FAST Melee FTW

edit: And Reflect Melee with Super Scopes to crash the game!

abit_rusty · Sep 13, 2007

This has got to be one of the better updates so far.

Devastlian · Sep 13, 2007

Coin mode wasn't in Special Melee...It was one of the four normal melee types along with stock, time, and bonus (which was the worst). And Fixed Camera was good for Big Blue. :/ :\

Anyway, this is a rather awesome update.

Metal always had that effect.

I sure hope Stamina and Stock can be used in tandem. Only one life is boring. And I hope the HP is fully adjustable.

This is a giant leap for free for alls. I just hope it works on Friend battles.

oxyborb · Sep 13, 2007

yay, I was hoping for adjustable gravity

Gargomon251 · Sep 13, 2007

oh yeah, I forgot about that. I hope that means like moon gravity (jumps etc), and not just the knockback percentage like Melee's Multiplier dealy.

It did that in Melee.

You should have a New Challenger warning sign for this blog, at least warning about the picture they have on the official blog.

This picture.

What character is that, hitting Bowser?

That is all.

The Director · Sep 13, 2007

Ugh...yet another mediocre Brawl update.

Let's hope Friday's is a real bombshell, we're way over due for one. Even the Brawl version of a returning character will do...

And that little guy's Knuckle Joe, an assist trophy.

Fawriel · Sep 13, 2007

I hope there'll be more customizability. 150 HP just isn't enough.

I also hope this wasn't the big-frikkin-update with which Sakurai hopes to compensate for the lame start of the week. *shakes fist*

Daaaaym.. if that were so, then it'd bump the possible combinations to 15552 D: (if the 3 double variables are flower/bunny, metal/clear and curry/reflect.)

Right. I knew that. =D

;_;

SantaClaus · Sep 13, 2007

finally an update that means something decently important.

Hopefully the week continues this upward trend of updates.

Sariku · Sep 13, 2007

THIS OWNZ! Not as much as Munchlax (now Lucario has a GREATTTTT CHANCE) but this IS a step in the right direction. I sill say we DO need the Custimazation like in Melee for these "Brawls"

I think it is. Tommorow I expect to see summat mediocre and dull, like, I dunno, some new lame AT no one cares about, or another Munchlax. *Shudders*

Hmmmhm. Just 495 more Poke'mon to knock out for playable place!
He's a shoe in now, alrighty. Good ol' Munchlaz means the world.
(I'm sorry Uchiha, I honestly could not resist

)

Ekul · Sep 13, 2007

I think it actually is customizable. When Stamina is selected, there's something that says "150HP" in the bottom right corner

Also, as long as you can have stock in stamina, it's fine by me, since you can't lose 900 HP just by falling off once...

I'm gonna start mentioning Lucario in almost ALL My posts UNTIL HE'S CONFIRMED!!!!

Orr... we find out Sakurai was been smoking weed and made it as a Pokeball.... sigh...

EGRUNTZ said Lucario is Emo, an Emo Pokemon, and WHO WOULD WANT AN EMO POKEMON IN BRAWL!?

Pichu hurt itself, it's Emo.

Aeronite's Kiseki · Sep 13, 2007

Link Sharingan · Sep 13, 2007

well this update confirm the super and poison mushroom,Bunny Hood and the Metal Box

MetaKnight'sSword · Sep 13, 2007

ooohhh this is suprising (^^)v

Aeronite's Kiseki · Sep 13, 2007

So, the Cloaking Device is returning too...ick i didn't like that item

BUT THE REST OF THE UPDATE WAS KILLER!

Eaode · Sep 13, 2007

About the Stamina changing:

Before the match was changed to stamina, you can see a picture where it says "Starts Match With 0% Damage", so I assume you'll be able to scroll down to that and change it. You will probably be able to do this with stamina as well, but the caption didn't appear anymore probably because he had the "OK" button highlighted.

Wii Wanderer · Sep 13, 2007

They needed metal form in SSBM.

I doubt that Joanna Dark will appear and if she does or is playable she better be rival to Snake, but to me she'll be a sticker or a AT

that would be weird if they put in the Wing and Vanish cap from Super Mario 64 LOL

Vanish Cap could replace Cloaking Device and Wing Cap would actually make sense now because of Pit, Metaknight, and Charizard
