From the thread:
<blockquote>Basically, this guy says he thinks Brawl feels very similar to Melee. You can pick up one of the veterans and be able to play them immediately. He also says that the smash ball comes out just like a normal item comes out, and that for the wiimote + nunchuck setup, the jump button is the up key on the D pad (thank god for customizable controls).</blockquote>
Everything looks reasonable enough, and the <a href="http://www.dengekionline.com/data/news/2007/10/10/cb5ddbb739787949d2b4f9b5215a2d94.html">original source</a> includes at least one other shot of the game in action. But I do wonder what happened to the white background we were shown in a <a href="http://smashboards.com/blog/2007/06/29/shame-names-and-wario-includes-shame-here-too/">previous Dojo update</a>? And where are the other announced starter characters? (I know yesterday I predicted that we’d know the starting roster by E for All. While I suppose that’s unlikely to be set in stone by next Thursday, I don’t think there’s much time to show us anyone else–especially if the release date doesn’t slip by much.)
