New Year's is a super-huge Holiday in Japan. They probably have the whole week off or something like that.

from your description, the spike-ball thing is indeed from the kirby franchise. it is most resembling of it's form in kirby's air ride. again, this is going off of your description.

To be honest, I was more than a little worried when I first saw a video of Brawl in action. It just seemed so much slower. I hope Sakurai hasn't sacrificed too much speed and strategy for the sake of mainstreaming the game.
yea, the game looks slower than melee and the characters seem more floating like luigi in melee

I like floaty characters though. I also like the fact that brawl has found the perfect mid-ground between the games. Start out slow, end super-fast.

Floaty characters = real epic airborne battles.
I'm all for that.

Off the top of my head.
Link comes riding a whirldwind.
Mario comes from a pipe.
Pikachu from a pokeball.
Bowser walks out of fire.
Sonic just kind of lands in spindash form and then just stands up.
Ike uses some teleportation magic from FE (Insert correct number here).
Samus walks out of that pod thing, as she did in SSB64, if you have played Metroid Prime, it is just like the pod that allows you to board her ship.
DK comes out of a barrel
Yoshi from an egg
I can't remember anymore from the top of my head, but there are some others in videos, i'll look it up for you.
Edit:
Pit comes down from heaven through some celestial ray of light. (Fun fact: I just watched a video, where as Pit came down, he landed on a platform on top of where he was supposed to land {I speculate this due to the fact that everyone else landed below that platform and Pit was the only one, out of the 4 players to actually be on the platform above})
Diddy is another barrel
Metaknight comes out of his cape
Fox comes from the Arwing (which flies at really high speed, comes close to the ground, drops Fox, then leaves)
Peach just appears, bearing her parasol.
Noa.

Thank you for spending so much time on this. It is nice to have a preview of sorts for the game.

No problem. Also the Japanese demo had Wario and Kirby, plus a video of Snake and Zelda, so if we can find any videos of the Japanese demo (or that Game video where Snake and Zelda appear) we could find out the 4 entrances of those characters.

Kinda Sorta OK at Smash
Watch some CF vids. That is epicly airborne.

You know, I know this is like extremely random, but whats up with the Grimer's all the moderators have...

New air dodge physics + floaty characters = Epicly airborne, not touching the floor after every aerial and fast falling
it means you are a member of the back room

Gimpy can moderators add Avatars to the Avatar list for normal members?
If so, would you add a Bowser Jr. avatar? I want a Bowser Jr. avatar for myself.

The Japanese seem to think Ike is very good. But I have heard that the only matches at Jumpfesta were Free for Alls, and you said that Ike was very good at Free for Alls. =O CONTROVERSY DUN DUN DUN
Also, I think I may just be hallucinating, but in the SSE trailer, when Ike does his Up B, it looks he falls slightly slower and goes a LITTLE more to the side. Hopefully there'll be even more tweaks. What really needs to be tweaked IMO is that the developers should make it so Ike doesn't helplessly fall after doing his Side B if he does it in mid-air because I've heard that's what he does. D:

Well from Gimpy's description, it would seem that Ike is good at FFA's, he is also good at a casual level.
Since noone there knew how to play Brawl, by its new mechanics and stuff, and really noone has had the game for such a long time, really it was just casual games, as no one can say they truly mastered the game. Taking this into account Ike probably seemed a lot better than he really is, and then adding the fact that they only played FFA's, well, you can see where their opinions were made from. In reality I don't think we can rate a character until a game comes out, but if Ike is as slow as I imagine him to be (basing it on Gimpy's posts + watched videos of Ike) well, then he might be bad after all. :S

Do you mean like angling (or w/e) Up + B? Kind of like Fox's?
Or do you mean directionally influencing it?
Chiroz
Tier Lists? Foolish...
I guess it could be possible, but given the fact that so many people played the game, it is very improbable that none of them tried pressing or even maybe pressed without noticing in a diagonal angle.
I have watched all the videos that I have found of Brawl and I have yet to see and Ike do anything but go directly upwards then downwards with his Up + B.
But fear not, not all is lost. Ike's Side + B is actually like Fox's, but faster and covers more distance (from what I heard). So it is a very good horizontal recovery if you need it. So think of Ike as more of a Luigi recovery guy.
it isn't faster and it doesn't cover more distance from what i experienced. it charges up in the same way as luigi's does, but you can only use it once. ike's recovery is completely horrible.
and no, you cant angle his up b
it's straight up, straight down.

sonic smash down
Smash Lord
**** ok gimpy you've convinced me, ike sucks as far as we know right now.....anyways yeah i just saw the dragon thing in smash dash and your right who doesn't love dragons lol they're asome
okay so just wanted to make a couple points here and then ask a question for gimpy or anyone else who can answer
1. first point is that i dont know if its already been said on this thread but i cannot read every page so my mistake, but at jumpfesta the demo that was played has shown ike as being faster than E for all i believe, so thats good news for alot of ppl
2. thank you very much for a lot of this info
questions:
1. when you use pits down b move, the mirror that reflects projectiles, when normal attacsk for example a normal smash attack hits it, i know that the smash will be blocked, BUT will the damage be returned back to the person doing the smash,
2. in completely YOUR opinion, but with awesomeness bias removed for metaknight (because of his look), who do YOU think is the better character?
if you dont want to answer no worreis, im okay with that
thanks for time and shtuff
this is the link to the source i have for the ike info http://www.brawlcentral.com/, i saw it on the ike forums anyway but whatever

i never said or impied that metaknight is the best character if thats what you are asking, but i'm not going to bother listing who is good ad who is not.
pit's down b move reflects projectiles and blocks normal attacks, it doesn't' reflect normal attacks.

We already know Bowser is the "best" character in Brawl...and Ike is garbage. With those parameters...the rest of the roster is a toss up.
