I'm glad to hear Dedede has his Japanese anime voice. His English one was pretty awful. I am equally glad to know that DK's Final Smash has some potential, so that it can be used effectively in battle. Overall, I think this is pretty good information.

I am incredibly pleased with the amount of info thats coming out. Then again i am angry at myslef for fanatically ruining what looks to be the greatest game ever for myself. I can't help it, i am just way too excited and all this isn't helping. This is gonna be the longest 4 weeks ever.

How are you ruining it?

I knew the full roster of Melee weeks before I was able to play the game. It still is my favorite game ever and I've played it without getting bored for 6 years.

I found one bit of contradiction:

You say Dark Samus is the phazon suit (from Metroid prime) but Dark Samus' visor isn't red, it's blue. Also, later you list Samus' alt costumes, and "Phazon suit" wasn't there.

I'm a Dark Samus hopefuly, BTW, so this info is important to me :p

i'm pretty sure he means the dark suit from the first Metroid Prime. It was the suit that was black and light grayish, and had a red visor.

All the source said was he didn't notice anything hugely negative about it. The effect could be minimal, it could increase over time, or it just might have been left out of the demo. It's really not certain at this point.

The Sheik nightmare had nothing to do with the ability to stay as one character indefinitely. It had to do with Sakurai's inability to actually work with the concept of making the two halves depend on one another. ( To his defense, he was short on time, I guess. )
The question is whether he'll want to make the Pokemon depend on one another, or make them all capable fighters in their own right. Considering the humongous switch time, it's unlikely that he really wants us to switch in the middle of a duel, so... things look good.

So really, Stamina seems to just be a cute touch for the casual players and a nuisance for any competitive player.

I got an idea about stamina, by the way.
In a way, characters have always had stamina, right? If you use a move too much, it starts dealing less damage. Maybe switching between Pokemon too much will make the damage capability fall for the following Pokemon as well... and if you keep playing with one for too long, it keeps sinking even lower? Or something like that!
It would explain why nobody noticed it... it's rather subtle and it was impossible to compare the damage that was done by an attack.

That makes a lot of sense. You're probably right, but I guess w/e the "stamina" thing is, some one'll figure it out when the game comes out.

And the opponent gets roughly 2 seconds to charge a smash. :p

Or... something similar.


"Squirtle-"
"Falcoooon-"
"I choose you!"
"Paaaaawwwnch!"
WHOMP.
"...sowwy."

In theory you can use it the other way too. They start charging a special, smash, etc, and you switch Pokemon. How long does it take to begin the switch once initiated?

I read in another thread that E. Gadd was confirmed as an AT at Whobbey. Any confirmation here?

according to the commercial, you may be able to attack straight out of the Pokeball, so maybe you can hit them before they hit you

I have a question. Are there any reports of people playing against the CPU? I remember hearing that the Level 9s still suck. Is it known if they still spam attacks, rush for certain items (Pokeballs, ATs, Hammers, etc.)? I would hope they'd at least make them better about not doing that.

Ok,thanks.So what about the Ashley situation?Is it true?
Click to expand...
Ashley was confirmed to appear in the background for Wario's stage. It doesn't TOTALLY deconfirm her, but it might as well. Anyone hoping for a Warioware character (myself included) is expecting either Mona or no one else at this point. (Although Kat and Ana as IC clones would be cool.)
