Next up is the Hydra now. Just like the Dragoon, it too is a legendary Air Ride machine. Of course, it's more of a land-based machine. On the other hand, it's absolutely fast, which could also devastate opponents.

This is the Hydra.

I'm wondering if Hydra could be done differently, like since dragoon is the flying vehicle it flies through the air to the opponent, maybe Hydra could become something like warios motorcycle or something and you could drive back and forth for a time or something like that

I'm also wondering, seems like there will be a lot of items, do you think they will be catagorized (maybe have different types of items arranged so that you could turn off a set of them). It seems like it would make things easier with so many items, especially if they did include a button that would turn items all off or all on, in order to select a few, instead of going through the whole list like I've had to do so many times in melee (saturn battles ftw!)

 

[lanky_gunner]

yeah, this is a great item. giving it the power of the smash ball, but also the rarity was a great idea. plus, kirby air ride was a great game. whoever i was playing with at the time would always play city ride, so we could collect the legendary vehicles.

but i do hope the hydra makes an appearance. i liked it more than the dragoon anyway

I was thinking that the Hydra would work like Wario's Wario Chopper. However, it would be extremely fast and dangerous. Anyone who gets hit by this machine is almost certain to get KO'd.

The Hydra's HUGE flaw is that since it's so fast, you could be sacrificing a stock life while using it, which would suck if you don't KO anyone with it.

this thing pwns!

 

[Flipstar]

that item looks beast

 

[Hippochinfat]

Beyblade Confirmed For Brawl.

 

[-NEOLINK-]

lol Hippo...sure, but yeah this seems like a monster of a item.

 

[Sasori's_Shadow]

I actually really like this item. I loved Air Ride, even though it wasn't the greatest game, and I like the fact that obtaining the item in this game reflects collecting/gathering the parts of the machine in its original game. Not only is it an original concept but it looks like it'll work in the Brawl environment. Maybe we'll see the Hydra along side it as well. Don't know if that'll work as well, though I can see it happening nevertheless.

 

[Galax]

I don't like this idea. I think it's too much attention to a single game. Dragoon can be compared to the final smash, and the final smash is one of the main ideas of the game. I think Dragoon should be an assist trophy instead.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

just like in AR it's just a more improved Warp Star. In AR the Warp Star is balanced but with more gliding. The Dragoon is just that except... maxed out. It appears to work just like that in Smash. A Super Warpstar! I hope the Hydra doesn't appear actually, I think the two together, plus the menus would make it too AR saturated :x

 

[XACE-K]

This will be my 3rd favorite item behind the Golden Hammer and the Smash Ball.

 

[soviet prince]

Hopefully Sakurai realized just how unlikely it would be to get any three items in one match.

I hope that once one Dragoon part appears, the others have an increased spawn chance.

And how ironic, adding in an element from the game that supposedly made him quit Nintendo.

explain to me what you mean by makng him quit nintendo.

also when I read the title I was thinking bayblade made it in Brawl

Kirby Air Ride is one of the most beautiful games in existence. This item gets a 9/10.

 

[DraginHikari]

This is what his Wikipedia says:

Sakurai resigned from his position at HAL Laboratory, Inc. on August 5, 2003, leading many to believe that the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. series would cease to continue. Reasons for his departure are said to be because he was seeking more freedom and was not happy with the structure that was present at HAL Laboratory. Most of all, however, Sakurai grew tired of the sequelization of the industry and at HAL.

"It was tough for me to see that every time I made a new game, people automatically assumed that a sequel was coming," said Masahiro Sakurai on August 26, 2003, in an interview with Nintendo Dream, two weeks after his resignation from HAL Laboratory. "Even if it's a sequel, lots of people have to give their all to make a game, but some people think the sequel process happens naturally."

His resignation came just days after an interview where he openly criticized Nintendo for circumstances surrounding the development of the GameCube racer Kirby Air Ride. He has publicly stated that he wishes HAL to continue working on the Kirby series. It is known that Masahiro Sakurai holds no resentment towards his past at HAL Laboratory, or his old characters. To this day, Sakurai's signature is a Kirby face.

That last paragraph does explain his willingness to use stuff he once disliked.

They all spawn at the same time, duh. It is one item, it spawns as one item.

As the original Kirby's Air Ride was being developed, the release dates kept on being pushed further and further away until one fateful day it was cancelled. No real reason has ever been established why.

This what made him so pissed off about Nintendo, he really wanted that game to be released on the N64, but they cancel it and start working on a Kirby platformer (which ended as Crystal Shards) instead.

[InvincibleAgent]

That work?

 

[Brawlmatt202]

It's a pretty sweet item.

 

[Link Sharingan]

awesome new item and it seems that king Dedede air dodge it

 

[Shiny Ivysaur]

I was sure yesterday was saturday. The second I stop looking he gives us an 8/10.
Sounds like a cool item, but right now I've gotta go. I'll be back in a half-hour to give you all my wonderful opinions that I'm sure you all value greatly.
Yeah right.


Edit:
Or, you know, an hour or so.
I had oatmeal and a shower and a talkative brother, alright?

You gotta be kidding.
Back in 10 more minutes.
As if you care.

2 things

1-you have no proof, and it is 3 items, like in KAR (Kirby Air ride) you could get 2 pieces and never find the third, jsut because it did not spawn

2- If they did all spawn at once, then the 3 pictures could all have been one picture with all three parts. Also, why is one of the parts on the first tier of castle seige, and oter on the second, and the last one on Lylat cruise? If they all spawned at once they would all be on the same stage at the same time.

That work?

Dragoon is listed on the Dojo under a single update. I take this to mean that it is a single item.

They don't all spawn at the same time, that would ruin the point..

Also the picture you linked doesnt prove anything because they're not all on the stage at the same time..

 

[peytar]

hey could someone explain to me the second update about sharing stuff i don't get it at all?!?

 

[abit_rusty]

I remember playing kirby air ride and this ship was da bomb.

It's just saying how you and your friends can send photos and stages to eachother, and that you have to click on the Smash Service or you won't get daily stages or anything else from Nintendo.

I suppose it's conceivable that they spawn at different points, but didn't you guys read this part:

Hit an opponent who has one of the Dragoon parts to make him drop it like a fumble.

Any of you guys ever perform aerial attacks off the side of the stage? Like a meteor?

You're suggesting that the game makes it very easy to simply lose one of the parts. Actually, you'd simple lose all of the parts. 3 specific different items spawning close enough in time such that you don't lose one of them off the edge? That means, basically, you can't attack anyone who's off the side of the stage. Do you think people are intelligent enough to remember who has the pieces in fierce aerial battles?

Have you ever played the game Jump! Ultimate Stars? Well if you didn't, there is a mode (a really sucky mode but still) where you goal is to collect 5 stars. everyone is holding one star and when they get K-Oed they lose the star. However, when you get K-Oed off the edge, the star comes back onto the stage in one of two random spots.

My guess is that if you get K-Oed, your piece goes back on the stage, and the only way they disappear is if, like in melee, you don't touch the item for like 15 seconds.

Hit an opponent who has one of the Dragoon parts to make him drop it like a fumble. You also drop the parts when you lose a life. If you want to get a part in hand, then beat on your opponent!

The same can be said for Smash Balls—those, too, are items that everyone really wants badly, so the scramble can be quite funny!

This quote can either prove of disprove my theory. When it says fumble, you could assume that it means that it simply falls, or that it is gone forever. I think it simply falls and can be picked up. And as for the part about dropping, I assume that means that they can also be picked up, not gone forever.

However, The same can be said for Smash Balls could show that they do in fact lose it when they die. I need to refresh my memory, but I think if you die with the smash ball it is gone. However, he says it is like the smash ball because of how hard people try to get it, not of how its mechanics work, so you could take it either way.

 

[axemangx]

Is Hydra supposed to be in as well?

 

[specialsauce]

this is awesome I love kirby air ride! also this keeps increasing the possiblities for more awesome items from any game how cool would it be to have the mario galaxy ice ability or the flying one. or what about sonic items like super speed sheild etc, and howabout some zelda items maybe one that grass thing that u use to call epona or the hawk! endless possibilities

 

[PowerBomb]

The Hydra should have been in brawl, not the Dragoon, since the Hydra IS the Air Ride powerhouse, although the Dragoon flies really well, aiming for an "OHKO".

They probably won't put the Hydra in brawl, considering the two machines would have the same function.

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

if we got Air Ride machines in brawl now...think we might get music from KAR?....plz let it be the Checker Knights stage song if so....*prays real hard*

 

[The Noob Legend]

Music from Kirby's Air Ride?

Quite possibly, but have all the composers been listed already?

Not necessarily, the list has been updated before.

Ah, I see.

 

[FrogButler]

I will only hope we get Checkered Knights music or the City Trial music.
