That wasn't it - his heater was popping, literally popping, at the most random times. I guess you couldn't hear it on his...$8 microphone, hehe. Totally different than the WFC noise that the computer made.

The thing I don't like about Metaknight Kirby is the wings. They are way too small and goofy looking. The mask is fine. Metaknight looks exactly like Kirby with his mask off so that's all good.

Review-ish time!

Youko, during the intro it sounded like you were rushing it at some parts. It was hard to make out what you were saying because it was like youregoingtowanttohearwhatRDKhastosayinthelongestbrawlviepointever! Either than that, good stuff =P.
The quote of the week was hilarious and I'm hoping you guys do it every week. This slider moves left and right.

Now about the Downloadable Content discussion.
I'm really glad you guys talked about this because I was going to make a Brawl Viewpoint on this because I read up on the GH thing a bit ago. I agree they might do it sooner or later (voice chat), but not for a long time for Brawl.

Wow, your Iceberg song was hilarious. I really enjoyed this music update, and I'm glad you guys did too, especially Panda because he's not a music buff like Youko and I =P. And then we have Panda with his random Sonic plug =P. I'd love to see a Bowser stage...I'm thinking of going into Stage Discussion and start talking about it now.

You guys were getting off topic ALOT, but it's still entertaining. It's really great how there's hardly any dead air. You two being in the same room is really effective except for the fact that you're more succeptable to getting off topic.

Boo-earns. You guys completely bashed Rotation. I understand that it's pretty much useless besides the whole NAMES thing, but I still like new features. I don't know, it's just me. I also think I liked this update alot because my friends and I have talked about controllers and different schemes, and the Brampton smash scene pretty much all has different ideas for what their controller is going to be like. 16 people rotation IS pretty stupid though. Random meat spin song ftl? =[

...
Time for the Big 3!

Mario Circuit is looking to be my favourite stage so far, so I'm glad you guys enjoyed it as well. I like how you pointed out the differences from the old videos because I don't remember them at all, and I think it's interesting. The sign in the back is THE best feature. Mute City was my favourite counter-pick from back when I used to play Falco, so I'm really liking Mario Circuit. The walkoff part though...I'm not to happy about that. I like to Meteor Smash...ALOT. (Youko, your friend that plays Falco sounds just like me =P...except I'm good.) About Mario hitting the Shyguy...I think the shot was taken AFTER he hit the Shyguy and the Shyguy is flying away.

=O Panda dropped an EFF Bomb when trying to say Stafy.
I'm glad that you guys went over that Stafy vs. Kirby thing. I had heard people talking about it, but I had no idea what the big deal was. After hearing you guys discuss it, my thoughts are "Oh. Wow, THAT's what everyone is talking about?". I don't think it's that big of a deal. Now about Sakurai insulting Stafy fans, I don't think he'd do that on purpose. I mean, we = money. Why would he want to insult fans?
I agree with you guys when you said "If we're not getting characters, give us a deconfirmation". Now that I look at it that way, it makes sense that we didn't get a character update this week.

...WOW. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT DRAWING of Youko and Panda! "D*mn you Lanky People".

Vault...meh. Everyone knew what it was. It's good you cleared it up though.
About the Rumble...well, ALOT of the people at the tournaments I attend turn Rumble off.
You guys didn't really describe deflicker...and I have no clue what it is. Oh well.

I'm kind of a Nintendo purist, but I REALLY love Halo. But meh, it's kind of 50/50 with everyone I talk to.
Anyways, that's it for the Roundtable pretty much.
It was fun to listen to, and I really like it when you guys are in the same room. There's no silence AT ALL and it feels alot more "comfortable". You guys also have the same volume so I don't have to concentrate hard to hear what Panda is saying =P.


RDK
First of all, your voice sounds like it's computerized. I'm saying that as a good thing, it sounds really cool. Anyways.
I like how you described how Ridley would move and actually "be". All of my friends don't want Ridley for the sole reason that they don't know and they can't imagine how they would work. Metroid really needs another REP, and you gave some good supporting points. I didn't really think Ridley would be a good choice, but I'm definitely rethinking it.

Now for Geno. I've never played SMRPG long enough to get to the point where you find Geno, so I don't know much about him, but he does look pretty cool. I don't see how AlphaDream employees raises Geno's chance though. I mean, just because they work for Nintendo doesn't mean they have any contact or say in Brawl. I wouldn't count on that as evidence.

Megaman. I really like Megaman. Some games I loved, and others sucked alot. The only reason I'm uneasy about the thought of Megaman in Brawl is because I only liked some versions of Megaman. Also, without his Sword, he's kind of just a Samus rip off. As much as I hate characters with swords, Megaman needs his, and you didn't talk about it at all. What I did like about this part is that you put things in perspective money-wise, which people really should start thinking about. I also really liked how you talked about his "copy" ability. That was always my favourite thing about the old Megaman game. I was thinking that Megaman's other versions could possibly be costumes too. Anyways, good job with Megaman.

Now Krystal vs. Wolf. I really don't like Krystal, because I hated the games she was in. I REALLY want Wolf because he's SO cool, but I think he'd bee too Fox-ish, like you mentioned. I like how you mentioned the increase of female characters because that theory is quite plausible.

Bomberman! My girlfriend loves Bomberman, so she also listened to your BrawlViewpoint =P. My girlfriend and I always argue about his moveset and I didn't think he had much going for him, but you offered other ideas. Now she's all "I told you so", good job. I personally would love to see Bomberman because he's such a WTF. If not Bomberman, some of those awesome items (when playing with my siblings I used to use the virus to my advantage).

Good stuff. It wasn't really new, exciting information to me, but it made me reconsider alot of these characters. 7/10.


Youko...you said "Next week like every week..."
I thought you weren't going to be here? =P

Anyways, great episode this week. REALLY LONG, but really fun. I'm not surprised SMYN has lasted so long. It's an amazing project and ALOT of people really appreciate it.
When you mentioned your friend I got shivers because a friend of mine (16) recently passed too. Suicide. Ever since then my whole outlook on life has changed for the better, and I agree: do not take life for granted. Tell those special people you love them before it's to late, and try and leave your friends with good memories.


Wow, that fire alarm really pissed you guys off. I love these kinds of easter eggs =P.
The snowball fight sounded fun. Ah man, I can't wait until College.
We need some classic Easter Eggs though Youko. I miss the contests and such.
Anyways, great week...again.

SMYN <3.

Pyro, Mega Man only had a sword in one game, and it was terrible.

Kirby and Metaknight are the same size. Metaknight is a kirby after all, but no more Kirby talk.

What are the censorship requirements for a viewpoint? I mean we're all 13+ so technically we can all watch PG-13 movies which drop f-bombs like once or twice, right? I'm not saying it's my mission to make a vulgar viewpoint...I'm just curious, that's all.

From what I've seen in the RT, you can drop medium swears. The rules seem far more lax than SWF rules, that's for damm sure.

I should really get back into the cast.

Yae to that box art SUCKING! Honestly, I hate it. Melee's and SMASH 64's OWN IT! XD Serbi.net leakage thing was hilarious how everyone believed him, and he was wrong/is going to be wrong! :laugh: Mewtwo being replaced by Lucaio sounds dumb though. Mewtwo is nothing like Lucario, and infintely awsome. Melee tiers don exits in Brawl. And Marth is guarenteed. *points at Fire Emblem 11* Shiek coming back and Marth not too likely...for shame. Marth is infinitely better, and is WAYYY MORE LIKELY! :laugh: We have had three similar plumbers after all, so two blue hairded swordsmen (one with a two-handed sword, one with a single-handed sword) isn't a strech. Especially with Marth's popularity. >_<

Downloadable content sounds good to me. Patches will come probably eventually, and Brawl will probably have it to balance the game! XD INFORMATION! WHAT? Spoilers...it's information! :laugh: Spoiler:
Sonic dies! XD
The music we like....ya, it was pretty AWSOME! Everyone loves that song...the underwater theme (from SMB1/3) and the Rainbow Cruise theme are AWSOME! :) Simple to get back on the peak...you fall off a waterfall or something! >_<

This is a great remix, definitely! :) Rainbow Cruise is my favorite Melee-original stage. >_< It is simply awsome, though a lot needs to change. In other words, it needs a bigger falling platforms, bigger pendilum, bigger ship, and slower fall. Ice Climber is a fun game, and it was made before Super Mario Bros. And the bonus stage is very Mario Bros. like! XD Balloon Fighter is awsome, and would be better, but hey, Ice Climbers are still awsome! XD What....Lizzie McGuire? That one show my sister watched in the 90's! o_O

DIDDY KONG=??? He's a friggen awsome character, and I can't get enough of him. But more of Zelda screenshot and Pokémon Trainer would be nice. Group tourament mode...well...this probably didn't take too long to make. Blackadder is Australian...that would have been TOO GOOD! >_< Cheers...we use that, or at least I use it. Bangers and nash....I'm afraid to know! XD Dark Captain Falcon...WHITE IS AWSOME!

This stage looks awsome. Seriously, this is going to be a very fun stage to play on! :) As for Stafy and Waluigi, they are great additions to the Assist Trophy roster. They are welcome additions to the game! :) Correction: Kirby is a Megaman copy, and Stafy is a copy of Stafy. Kirby stole the ability steal off Megaman. Megaman had that for 5+ more years before Kirby by KILLING THEM! As for the Action Replay and Game Shark thing, I think it could be likely. IF you hack into it, you *might* be able to play some. But the chances are very, very low. And of course, Bosses will be playable via hacks again. And Waluigi is tight, don't diss the awsomeness of filler characters. *points at Bowser, Luigi, Wario, Daisy, Wart, Birdo, Yoshi, Donkey Kong Jr., Diddy Kong, Toad, and others*

As for the Luigi as a AT...you have to be retarted. OMG! Lucas is deconfirmed! Pichu confirmed! o_O The shoulder dash is awsome=probably will be part of Wario's moveset. Wario-man only moveset, and taunts. o_O Wonder if Ganondorf turning into Beast Ganon would be a awsome! The Vault thing sounds neat, and sounds realistic. Subspace Emissary cutscenes...that'd rock! Showed it as a movie...woah SNAP! That'd be sweet!

Rumble..I played without that for 2 years. Until I met your mother! o_O Seriously, I've only been re-using for like 1 1/2. The wild Pokémon theme is awsome! Snowman from MOTHER 1, and Donkey Kong Country 2 songs=AWSOME! No more jungle stages...anything is better. The smash 64 stages seem better then Melee ones, by far. Don't forget the Halberd. Or Castle Siege. Or Delfino Plaza.

Sonic and Mario teaming...Snake and Sonic teaming...Snake and Mario. Dr. Eggman / Dr. Robotinic vs. like Samus=WIN! We're gonna get 2 Sonic and Metal Gear stages probably. Green Hill Zone, Space Colony Arch, Shadow Moses Island, and the Tanker/Outtter Haven (MGS4 version). *cough Phantom Hourglass, Metroid Prime Hunters, and NEW Super Mario Bros.*

64 stars...I got all 120 stars. :grin: The final boss was okay IMO, actually. And well...I beat Zelda II, so that says a lot! XD I gotta say a 360. And Halo 3. And Gears of War. And Call of Duty 4! :grin: Sports games based off franchises=I hate. Except NHL games, N64 ones, Fight Nights, and old school. NHL 99', Punch-Out!!, Super Punch-Out!!=AWSOME! 67 inch HDTV! o_O I could have it now, and it takes forever to wait for it.

The game has close NO HYPE right now. From Widescreen Support on up until now is the lowest hype point of Brawl since a few weeks before the new Brawl Dojo. The hype is pretty low for a game that WILL sell probably around 8 million units! >_<

If you need help SamuraiPanda doing it, I wouldn't mind helping. Of course, I'm a totally insane person with no mental balance! :lick: :chuckle: :psycho: Keeping on topic...woaw...I go off topic a lot! XD Special...diffrent...woaw. o_O Youko is omnipresent...SO AM I! People mention me, and a wild Johnknight1 appears! :laugh: Season 3 details...maybe a 2 way Brawl Viewpoint type of thing would be nice. Newest news: Johnknight1 is GOD, and he's CRAZY! o_O

Roundtable: 9.4/10

RDK's Brawl Viewpoint:

Ridley on top=YES! Ridley is awsome. Dark Samus isn't in the same league, and neither is anyone else. 2 arms, 2 legs, a tail, a head, and2 wings. Just use all those. He'd be skinny and long, probably a heavy weight, but a mid-heavywieght a bit above Link. He would be a flying-based character=win. Melee wasn't as aerial as smash 64, and Brawl seems to be the most airborne. He got 4 votes on Sakurai's Brawl Poll...tied with Geno for the most of a unconfirmed character. He should be a boss (Meca/Metal Ridley), AND a playable character.

Geno: Agreed. Perfect 3rd party character choice. Geno will be in if Sakurai wants him in, as Square Enix will say a big "yes". He seems likely, and is the underdog type character ("Rocky") for Brawl!

MEGAMANNNNN: Yes, he's awsome.2nd most reconizable 3rd party character, ever. He has appeared on every Nintendo system, minus the Virtual Boy. *cough Star Force sucks, ZX is okay* Megaman is a icon, and has a good shot. Capcom has made many Zelda games, and has had 80% of his games on Nintendo systems. And I agree RDK-Sakurai said that off the top of his head, thinking of Sonic firstly, and Megaman secondly (probably). Then when he saw Geno, he was excited, and loved the idea. It won't go too much farther then 3, indefinitely.

It's not a 3rd party game, it's a Nintendo game, in other words. Pay money...it'd probably wouldn't be too costly, if it even cost money. Mega Buster, Swords...if someone mentions a Samus clone, I'll laugh. Kill and Steal=the way to go. Change the buster and whatnot! Take either powers based off their moves (Kirby suck form shot, gernade launcher from Snake). X would be nice, but Classic is the way to go.

Wolf and Krystal: Krystal will be in. Falco will most likely return. Krystal's originality and being a female makes her likely, and of course Sakurai thinks she is a intresting character. Wolf should at least be in the story at least.

Bomberman: Finally sold his 10th million unit! XD Hudson...well....mhkay. He's a cool character and all...and if there is a 3rd party character after Geno and Megaman, count me in the Bomberman for Brawl. All I can say is he uses diffrent types of bombs. I've only played the old ones and the remix, of course. Bomberman is a fun game-but seems too partish for my tastes compared to Geno and Megaman. dozens of guns and magic and stealing powers plus guns and sliding=win! :)

Bomberman is a tad bit of a strech, but you never know. You did pretty darn well RDK. Great job.

9.3/10...what...highest score since Sariku.Uchia's final episode of "Who's In" (tied with it for the highest score). o_O

Owch Youko...I had to go to a funeral on Monday for my grandfather...it wasn't exactly exciting.

Poké Floats isn't that good of a stage. Good concept. People who are drunk as hell pulling it! o_O LOL at SamuraiPanda feeling things. *HEADSHOT!* What? Police cars and snowballs. D*** for a child concieved in Detriot, Michigan, I sure as hell have not lived where it snows. o_O

Easter Egg: 9.8/10 ; confusing at times.

Episode Rating: 9.4/10 ; One of the best Brawl viewpoints to date.

BTW, I have a few ideas for me doing a potential Brawl Viewpoint, and I want opinion on which one I should do. Any opinion is valued:

1. On decloning Melee clones: How it should be done, what should change, what should remain the same, and what I love and am sick of.

2. On having Brawl options that are easy to use, have further advanced options, and aren't too complicated. And how much options make the game.

3. What Stages IMO should return/should be remade from Melee or smash 64. And which ones are most likely.

4. What Stages IMO should be new stages to Brawl/be redone from past smashes. From Green Hill Zone to a Super Mario Land stage, to Metal Gear (again) and beyond!

Dude, that's it! Make a thing on characters unconfirmed or confirmed in Brawl, and have it opinion based. Have someone evaluate how they think a certain confirmed character is turning out, or how a newcomer would fit in. If you'd want a new segment, it should be called "In My Opinion". Since I've wanted another segment since "Show Yourself" and Sariku.Uchia's ever awsome "Who's In" segments ended. Maybe extend it to stages, item involvement in Brawl, how onine *should* work, and confirmed or unconfirmed assist trophies.

Plus "In My Opinion" is a awsome name for a segment if you want a new segment in Season 3. Just feel like throwing random crap out there for you (Youko and SamuraiPanda)! ;)

So ya, that's my massive post! XD

It's amazing how people are starting to see Bomberman as more likely. I remember back in the summer it was only me and RDK and like a handful of peple supporting him and believing him to be a reasonable choice.

@Blackadder
Define a "medium swear"? I mean for God's sake you have to be at least 13 years old to make an account on this site (I think). Why the hell shouldn't we be able to use PG-13 language?

If you're writing a Brawl Viewpoint, there isn't much need to put in swearing, to be honest. Sometimes things slip out during the Roundtable because of the casual discussion, but if you're scripting something, nothing like that should really occur.

Youko/SP, since I didn't really get a response, I understand you guys are busy with mod duties and whatnot, I'm going to go ahead and just sort of do a viewpoint for the tournament system darkNES, me, and others have been working on. Will that be legit as a viewpoint or is it reserved to be for things more relevant to the updates?

Send a PM to Panda regarding it, there might be something in the works that might make it not so necessary, but I can't say with any certainty/knowledge at all.

When you say something in the works do you mean a similar project, or a shoutout? Because we just got everything for the most part figured out and opened up a forum for it, and it's jsut about getting people to take a look and see if they'd be down for it. I'll pm panda.

Nope, I leave Sunday morning and will be gone for about a week.
That's more then enough time to create raw audio (I believe you guys record usually on Friday Nights), and give SamuraiPanda the audio to touch up and improve on, in time for broadcast on Sunday.

Episode title ideas

When he inhales a foe and swallows...
This item has absolutely no relevance
Th-the power went out?!
This is a great game for couples.
C-could this be a Coin battle?!
The fact that it isn’t bloodthirsty is nice.

...Or I could just take a break after doing two-dozen-straight weeks, maybe relax on my vacation, and let Panda work on the something special that he's cooking up?

Just maybe. I'm surprised you care anyway with all the bashing you give the podcast?

Nobody ever asked you to do this anyway. And you'll still be getting one week off. And how hard is it to record raw audio? Not hard at all. And if Panda's got something going on, why not reverse roles, where he becomes the host instead of you? Someone's a little touchy about the subject. :p

Not a very good idea to pester a mod in his own thread.

Clearly in this situation, the best title is:


"Oh! I see! Delegation of duties is important!"
