Smash Cadet
ADDITIONAL DETAIL: My Brawl friend code is; 3995-5700-2891 (KIRI)
ADDITIONAL DETAIL #2: THERE IS NO LANGUAGE CHANGE OPTION IN BRAWL
ADDITIONAL DETAIL #3: Holding R whilst choosing Samus DOES allow you start as ZSS.
ADDITIONAL DETAIL #4: Lighting in my room is not great so I'm going to struggle with videos. Photos should be okay though.
ADDITIONAL DETAIL #5: Directional L-Cancelling is not in. You just pause mid-air then keep falling.
First Impressions
Opening movie is rather pretty as I'm sure most of you will agree. I'm greeted by the main menu that we've all seen already. ****** around with the menus for a little bit and headed to the Coin/Trophy/Sticker Section. Already had 50 coins waiting for me in the Coin Launcher. Managed to get a trophy of Booker and Copper from Animal Crossing: Wild World and a random sticker.
Everything is in Japanese and there is NO option to change languages. I should be okay though - I will continue to poke around the menus some more and see whats what. I had a trophy already upon checking the Trophy page; it was a Goron from the Legend of Zelda. I should point out that I have full save data from Melee (JPN Version) on my connected GC memory card, so I may have got that from there - I'm not sure.

The Subspace Emissary Playthrough
Plotline
A stadium. A friendly fight is taking place between Mario and Kirby. Zelda and Peach both look on. The player chooses which of Mario or Kirby to play as, then you have to beat them.
After the fight, the Halberd arrives and drops many purple spores which turn into Primids as well as a large bomb. You choose which out of Zelda, Peach, Kirby or Mario to fight as. Beat designated number of Primids. Cutscene in which Mario is KO'ed out of the ring and you play as Kirby having to save either Zelda or Peach from Petey Piranha's cages (I chose Zelda). After fighting him, the saved Princess joins your side and in the next cutscene, Wario comes down and turns Peach into a trophy via the Trophy Gun.
With the bomb about to detonate, Kirby and saved Princess escape via Warp Star. Continuing on in the same cutscene, it is shown Pit watching the fight from up in the skies. After seeing the bomb go off, the Goddess Palutena gives Pit his trademark bow and orders him to go off and help. He does, and meets Mario who has landed up in the clouds after being KO'ed earlier. They team up and you choose who to play primarly as. Fighting through Skyworld with a bunch of Primids and Cloud-enemies, you finally each the end where upon you fight a large Greap (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea06/modea06_070919g.jpg)
The following cutscene then shows Pit and Mario looking out to the Halberd flying ahead when all of a sudden, an Arwing swoops overhead. It cuts to Kirby and Saved Princess....turns out the Halberd is chasing them. The Aring tries to intervene, but the Halberd's cannons damage it causing Kirby and SP to fall off the Warp Star onto the deck of the Halberd where by they start walking along it and along into another part of Skyworld.
More story to come later....
