Sandbag takes to the plate!

[Betrayed]

A lot of the old records used the backwall... I hope we can still use the backwall in strats, hopefully breaking the shield isn't too hard.

2-player sounds fun. marth1 was going to do some two player HRC with AR before.

I'm glad HRC is back, it was one of my favorite modes...

 

[A Diamond For Disease]

I really like co-op idea for the HRC pretty awesome.

Well, if a strat uses the back wall, the wall is really a blessing. If the hit breaks the shield, good. You don't have to change your strat. If it doesn't break the shield, it will come back sooner than if it had hit the backwall, giving you more time.

It's a win-win situation, unless the backwall is removed.

 

[Mic_128]

Obviouly, bat drops will still be the driving force behind HRC, but I think that there may some new uber-maxed strategies with stuff like bat drops against the wall and stuff. I like it.

Bat drop -> Falcon's Knee; Repeat.

 

[Tyrannotaur]

I love the force field. My main problem with not getting a high score was always knocking it off on accident. I just wonder if I could Falcon punch the Bag into the force field and not have it break. The multiplayer thing is cool. I would usually have us take turns. Not any more.
Plus it's online.. so I can play with my friend who moved across the country. Very cool.

I swear one of these days the Sandbag is gonna snap. He's not gonna take it anymore. That would be the most unexpected thing if the Sandbag was the "Ancient Minister" of the Subspace Army.. TWIST!

No one would see that coming.. heh.

 

[Brawlmatt202]

So much for Sandbag being playable.

Seriously, though, I'm glad to see they've made some improvements!

 

[Brawl Melee 64]

Haha, poor sandbag.. this is another awesome update, and now Im looking forward to the return of Break the Targets and Board the Platforms!

 

[lanky_gunner]

home run contest was one of my favorite modes, cause it's required to hit an innocent thing as far as you possibly can. i can't wait to play with a buddy, whether in my house or in Wi-Fi

 

[Salaad]

Rofl, can't wait to **** the sandbag against the shield with my friend.

 

[OATH]

wow 2 ppl at once O.O endless possibility's

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

2player co-op on Wi-Fi is going to be a sunuvabich. Do you know how many jerk-offs are going to play that mode all day, just grab the bat and homerun MrSandbag to ruin other people's experience?

I think I'm going to keep the co-op mode between me and my legit buddies.

And I wonder, will Co-opHRC unlock the same stuff that SoloHRC will? And if Co-opHRC unlocks anything, does that go the same for Wi-Fi Co-opHRC?

EDIT:
On a personal note:

@Salaad:
Please take down your sig. It's depressing me. Lolz. (The release date is Feb10 now. )

@colbusman:
Mind if I add you to my Wii address book after classes today? You're definitely one of the people here that I'm dying to challenge in Brawl when it releases.

 

[HeltXL]

Co-op Sandbag havoc! My friends and I are going to WRECK this poor little guy.

That shield is pretty cool, though, it makes for some easy combos.

 

[ShadowUltima]

Nice electric effect

It seems we can zoom in & out again.

 

[Wyvern]

I think the most interesting part of this update is that it suggests there could be an immediate subdivision of modes right after clicking "With Friends" on the Wi-Fi menu. That increases the chances of getting multiple modes under "With Anyone" (like at least Time vs. Stock or Duel vs. Free for All).

 

[Aeramis]

I love comboin that sandbag, now I can do it online

 

[Terradrius]

I doubt you'll even be able to play it with people other than through friend codes - "This option can be found under With Friends" - so I don't think that'll really be a problem.

This new and improved HRC looks pretty cool. I'm looking forward to trying it out with my friends

This option can be found under With Friends. And it supports both the two-player cooperative and two-player alternating modes.

Not gonna be a problem ^ (Edit: beaten)

I like the shield. It seemed that with a lot of characters, getting a good score required stuff like bat drops and other tricks, since most normal attacks would simply knock the bag off. Now you can really use a character's full arsenal.

 

[Zhilo]

I'm thinking an ice climbers infinite grab (not that it matters if it's ifinite or not) while bowser short hops whirling fortresses into the sandbag.

... I wonder if two warlock punches at the same tie will send it flying farther than just one?

 

[maxpower1227]

I wonder if Ganondorf will even HAVE a warlock punch, seeing as how he'll likely be completely redesigned.

 

[zKillah]

Makes me wonder about voice chat, which would really help the cooperative aspect of the game. They can't expect two people to operate properly without any real form of communication, can they?

 

[maxpower1227]

^ !!!

I wondered about that as well. How are you going to even coordinate what mode to play? There has to be something in place.

 

[yoshi_fan]

I know i know

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST CHANCE TO USE MY COMBOS ABILITY WITH MY CHARACTERS TO A FULL EXTENT... WITH A FRIEND

OH HELL YEAHH!!

The true villian of the Subspace Army has been revealed: THE SANDBAG

 

[Fanewgie]

As I said in last night's thread:

Look, everyone! Yet another screenshot where Lucas is using that stupid overused hexagon effect! AGOQVGPAGOQVUG.

Holy crap does he look boring.

Homerun Contests are fun, though. Some of the features they added are pretty nice, though... that shield makes it retardedly easy. -_-; Hopefully it takes like no force at all to break through so you still have to be careful.

I do not like Lucas.

The true villian of the Subspace Army has been revealed: THE SANDBAG

I think Sandbag (and Master Hand? Sure, why not) should be an AT. He could plop out onto the stage and then just sit there waiting to be pummeled. You could throw him around into other players and stuff.

 

[darkhamsterlord]

Since Meta Knight can do alot of attacks in a matter of miliseconds, according to the 'Basic Combos' update, you could really rack up damage on the sandbag if you use 2 Meta Knights!

 

[peach-man]

Hey, Mic, I don't know if somabody already told this, but your arguments on the pics aren't true, the guys are doing a GOOD thing, cause lil' sandbag likes to be beaten up
I know, this response is kinda lame, but I didn't know what else to post on-topic... (-.-')

 

[cccck]

the shield well help me SO MUCH so this update is cool. not the best, but not bad.

 

[Chari]

That looks like it's going to be fun. It's great that we can compete against others to set records and stuff.

 

[~N9NE~]

Sandbag's put on some weight.

Bring back Board the Platforms !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rash]

A few changes and suddenly this mode is leaps and bounds above Melee's one. It's great to see that they're fleshing out these modes, especially online. I hope we see some more functionality with target test as well.

As far as Stadium in general is concerned, I think Board the Platforms has a good chance to return on the basis that Sakurai has already implemented features from past Smash games in Brawl, i.e. character entrances.

 

[Nintendude]

Bat drop -> Falcon's Knee; Repeat.

Except, assuming knee behaves the same way, BD down-As would be much faster still

 

[Bassoonist]

It's not the most exciting thing in the world, but I do like the fact that it is now multi player. I'm hoping they do this to some of the other single player modes as well. I would love to compete for the targets!

 

[Pluvia's other account]

I love this update!

This is going to be a great feature!

 

[Cyberbot5000]

Its an alright update but I'm i it for the replayability factor and at the moment there isnt a mode that covers this except maybe subspace story mode. I would laugh if the final boss was sandbag and then you hit it a few times and then something huge bursts out

sandbag: REVENGE
player: (gulp)

 

[cccck]

any one other then me think this update means much more then it says?

"This option can be found under With Friends. And it supports both the two-player cooperative and two-player alternating modes"

how many options are under "with friends?" or "with anyone"?

 

[peach-man]

to be honest, this is more like a 'meh' upddate...
they start with verry exciting updates like 'this world' and then move on to the good ones
When they run out of those, they update with fleshed out and known modes, charcters ect AND with that, we have the boring ones, too...
They ended up with the more boring ones now...

 

[Big Burn]

even though it is just beating up on old sandbag... the new features make it worthwhile

 

[Revak]

I've been preparing myself for updates we already know about due to all the new footage but he keeps throwing out new stuff. Its torture.

 

[spikehappy07]

Does this mean captain falcon can still use his falcon punch instead of the Homer Bat?

Does this mean in co-op when he uses his Falcon Punch he can launch his teammate?!

*Thinks up devious plan for friend coming over*

 

[Kraid Guy]

this update sucks. nuff said.
