[Krytha]

Hmm... I wonder if heavier characters get this as a sort of damage reduction meter... because if they still get sent flying at a bunch of moves, it'll still be exploitable by faster chars...

 

[Neo-X]

Oh yeah..Up-B moves are recovery moves. It's just like Kirby! He's doomed if he uses it!

 

[Moon Monkey]

Is it me or is samus's armor melting?

 

[Neo-X]

Sure looks like it's melting. But it must just be the effects of the attack <_< I mean, why would they make her armor..MELTABLE.

 

[lanky_gunner]

then eruption is probably a powerful version of Roy's B, so...cool

huh, i took a closer look, and i realized i was wrong. he doesn't swing his sword, but sticks it in the ground.

my guess, he plants it in the ground, and it causes a shockwave, sending an "eruption" towards other players. and obviously the charge gives more damage

 

[Neo-X]

I thought he swung his sword too. I can actually imagine the animation. He holds the sword, tip down, over his head and stabs it down, and lava flies up in a diagonal pattern and moves forward a little bit.

hey your right now he seems even less of a clone raising marths chances

 

[Neo-X]

Yeah..I'd be happy for Marth/Roy/Both to return, since both were great characters, clones or not, because they both played totally different

 

[Bowser King]

yeah sure there were similaritys but ganandorf was a clone and a lot of people want him back with a diffrent move set im sure sakurai could make a few changes in roys to

 

[Neo-X]

Yeah, a Ganondorf that's like the one from Twilight Princess. That would be awesome

 

[Bowser King]

yeah but i wonder if he would get a sword or not . i think that i wouldnt care a lot if some of his moves used his sword but it would suck if all his moves revolved around his sword

 

[Neo-X]

Yeah, there's enough sword fighters. Pit, Metaknight, Ike, Link, **HOPEFULLY* Lloyd Irving, Kratos Aurion **NO MORE HOPEFUL INCLUSIONS**, and any other sword fighter.

 

[Bowser King]

hopefully tonight we will get music or a stage we havent had music for so long. mabye its because people keep complaining about the star fox armada song

 

[The Bino]

I highly doubt Roy will be coming back

Sakurai was making Sigurd and had to cancel Sigurds work because they wanted to add Roy in to boost his fan base because the Fire Emblem game as him in it was coming out soon, that's 6years ago and he still isnt' one of the top ppl requested from FE fans, i would say he's gone for 2 reasons

1 - He wasn't original in Melee, and even though he can be remade with original moves from his game, he's not popular enough

2 - He didn't get that much fan support from the game he was in to be considered to return

That's why i guess Ike is in Brawl - Higher fanbase and he is the 1st well known world-wide Lord from an extremely good game so everyone knows who he is and everyone knows that he's a good character for Brawl

also i would like to see Lloyd and Kratos in the game, but i highly doubt they would be in because they are 3rd party, and i guess the remaining 2 slots for 3rd party is Sonic and Megaman

Red = My opinnion

 

[Bowser King]

yeah that does make sense but i hope he still makes it

 

[Neo-X]

So..SIGURD 4 BRAWL!

 

[Sandy]

Ike's standard B looks similar to Roy's. And his up B is way better than Marth's and Roy's! Ike is my new main.

 

[Pieman0920]

Where was it ever stated that Sigurd was being planned?

And plus, Sigurd would never make a good addition. Visually, he's way to close to Marth, and despite being about to use a spear, he'd just be another sword user. >_>

 

[Moon Monkey]

So how ill this attack work in the air? with no ground to cause an eruption? my guess it will be a power full meteor smash kind of like DK's -> + B move

 

[The Bino]

I do recall that Sakurai himself stating that Sigurd was already in the process of being added into Melee, but his boss had told him to cancel Sigurd and put in Roy instead for the reasons that i stated above

 

[Dynamism]

Who's Sigurd? What ev
Marth will prance around like a little sissy and cut off all you betrayers for Ike's heads off...But first Ike will rip every limb from Marths body with his bare hands!!!!!!

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

1 - He wasn't original in Melee, and even though he can be remade with original moves from his game, he's not popular enough

But the reason he was put in was to increase his popularity. Plus he has recent games with him in them as well. I know many friends who since playing Melee, play Fire Emblem and love Roy in Melee.

Roy is also very popular in Japan, and there is an Anime with him in it.

2 - He didn't get that much fan support from the game he was in to be considered to return

See above.

I think it's hard to say... Roy is not THAT popular - it's true, but there's still a load of people who love him, or just simply know who he is and where he's from. People who don't play Fire Emblem know Roy because of Melee, and would relate to him better than Ike.

However I'm glad to see Ike in, because bandanas look way better than tiaras.

 

[OmegaXXII]

if another fire emblem characters makes it in i 'd hope it to be hector or Lance, Marth imo already had his shine and it's time someone else took the spotlight, that's where Ike came in, and as for Roy well.... he definetly is popular in Japan as well as in America but only in Melee, and i can bet he won't be returning, whyZ? because he was included in melee for promotional purposes and hasn't been in any recent games so I believe Marth would have more of a chance than Roy does

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

Roy has been included in some GBA titles as well as Marth.

 

[lanky_gunner]

if it was up to me, i'd keep roy and marth (roy first, i liked him better than marth)

however, i see marth making a return, and that's all we get for the fire emblem franchise. maybe a slight chance of someone else

 

[lonewolfe]

hopefully no one has already asked this in the last few pages, but did anyone else notice that, for example, in Pit and Ike's Special Moves updates, it only gives the Up B and Neutral B? What about the side B?? Or down B??

Maybe he doesn't want to tell us everything right away, but I just thought it was odd....

Maybe a prominent female Fire Emblem character? I don't know much about the series, but I remember Sakurai saying he wanted more female characters....

EDIT: sorry about double post

ah but didn't you notice that wario has his side b and down b?

he's probably just giving us a taste of what's to come

Touche, good sir. I did not notice that.

 

[lanky_gunner]

man sariku, you still haven't finished the how to play section yet. you got to stay dedicated. i know school and work can get in the way, but you got to treat these threads as if they were your child.

or you can just finish it and get it over with. that's what i do at least

 

[Croco]

yea.. music.
After playing Kid Icarus on my Wii the past few weeks.. that song drove me freaken crazy.
This makes it worse.. lol

 

[lonewolfe]

Kid Icarus music, meh, doesn't float my boat, but there aren't many things that can top last week's updates............

very true.
Unless another newcomer is revealed.. or even more info on adventure mode.

 

[Fanewgie]

Now, I'm usually up until 3 AM every night anyway, but this still makes me feel a little cheated. I hate music updates, and really I just hope the final release of the game has better music than what they've been giving us. I've only truely enjoyed two themes (Menu 1 and Space Armada) so far.

Hopefully with the crap updates out of the way, this means the week will finish out nicely, though...

 

[Dynamism]

Lucky he got to you first lol
I would've just been all "WHERE"VE YOU BEEN!?!?!" lol

There's a few months left...expect a lot of crap lol

I'm sorry, but how is this update 'crap'? Just because it wasn't a character or stage does not make an update crap. Personally, I think this music is pretty cool. You should be grateful that we're getting an update every weekday. As far as I know, no other game website has ever done something like this. Sorry if I sound like I'm ranting, but I'm tired of people saying "OMG this update sucks!!!1" when it's actually not that bad. You need to lower your expectations and try to appreciate each update for what it truly is...

As for tomorrow's update, I'll say Peach, with a brand new stage on Friday to end the week on a high...

I like to think I'm pretty good with finding the good in every update, no matter how lame it might seem.. Of course, you may not see this since I'm relatively new to posting here. But the only updates I've just been brutally against from almost the beginning are the music updates. The majority of them feel horrifically fan-made, and just not up to the standards that the Melee soundtrack set. Being that they're typically 30-60 second clips really doesn't help matters in the least.

Most people don't like music updates because they don't think music is a huge part of a game. I'm the opposite, I know it's a huge part of every game, especially an all-star game like this. And I don't think a lot of what we've heard so far is, quite frankly, good enough.

 

[behemoth]

^^ Hear, Hear!!


I don't feel it's up to the caliber of Melee's soundtrack, and I feel that Sakurai's doing himself a disservice with these updates.

But as I have maintained all along, I am indeed a moron, so may be wrong about this.
