Time to go with the Review:
The Rundown
-Excite Bike: I really like this, definitely. It was pretty sweet. Same goes with Lakiku. And Tetris blocks=win. The L block is the best.
-Shielding and Dodging: THIS IS SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! The ZSS looks is neat, and it definitely is pretty neat.
-Fox's Final Smash: Sounds like 3 on a Metal Gear. *Snake charges at it* Yes, it needs to be Falco's, because he rocks!
-Lucas: YES! That was a great add. His eyes...lol. Pointing...hehe. The electric attack looks like a original attack, and looks neat. Ness SHOULD BE IN BRAWL. He's got a cult following bigger then Geno...ya, I said it. And Mother 3 isn't coming to NA, Europe, or anywhere outside of Asia. I disagree, there would simply be EarthBound fanbases. I find it kinda weak to consider Geno, when EarthBound has a just as big, if not bigger fanbase. I seriously doubt his removal, as much as I doubt Marth's and Falco's. Unless Sakurai is being a b***ard again (like with Goroh), and is favoring his favorite islands over the rest of the world (minority over majority), this is a BAD MOVE.
-Co-op/Team Adventure Mode: Ya, you can see Sakurai's influences. And ya, it is kinda like Sonic 2 (though Sonic 3 > Sonic 2). What...difficulty....that's dumb. Ridiculous, and wrong. And the map looks pretty neat. Good bits, but sorta of a disappointment.
-Shadow Moses Island: It looks great, and looks way better than MGS1 and Twin Snake's graphics, and it seems almost real. And if you're spotted...METAL GEAR! I wonder if Snake's Final Smash will be Arsenal, GEKKO, or....Metal GEar Kirby? That'd be...diffrent, to say the least.
And a Snake personal entrance sounds neat. "Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off." Snake is practicing his CQC, and is getting busy (like Big Boss at the ending of MGS3, minus getting pwned by Ocelot and EVA at the same time).
-Snake Joins Brawl: The sounds were so awsome. Made the Nintendo Space World 2006 Trailer's amusing chucking sounds of the attacks sound like crap. It sounds like the best fighting game ever. And that is the PERFECT ALTERNATE MUSIC MOVE. And that electric thing is from MGS2's opening. He needs that, and we need personal entrences to come back. Seriously.
Good work as always, but you could have covered Ness' fanbase size more.
8.7/10
Mailtime: OMG, a Blue's Clues Reference.
woaw, just woaw.
Youko to Halo 3: It is a great game. It is somewhat similar, but the game is amazing. Halo is totally awsome. HAHA, never saw that question coming. HAHA, Halo n00b. And Solid Snake > Master Chief, all day, any day. In fact, Solid Snake > GOD > Captain Falcon > Brucee Lee > Chuck Norris > Master Chief.
Youko's Favorite Wii game and favroite game of all-time: Melee, never saw that coming (jk). Twilight Princess...YES! Already beat it twice on the Wii, and once on the GCN. Best Zelda yet, best Wii game yet. It's actually my favorite game ever, outside of Melee. MP3 is a pretty close second, though. The music score, gameplay, graphics, that game just straight up comes together like Peanut Butter and Apricot Jelly!
Red Steel, it was good, but it was a great game, but not exellent. Tenkaichi 2....NO! NO! stopped playing that at Tenkaichi 1. I can't stand that game, to be honest (or any of the other BZ games anymore for that matter. That comes from a DBZ fan as well). Strikers Charged...haven't played it. And I hear it has great online. Soninc and the Secret Rings...it kinda is weak.
Two Words for the best game ever (not including Melee):
TWILIGHT PRINCESS Super Mario Bros 3 (what, I can change my mind at the last minute, right=??). Sonic Advanced 2: Battle....that was good, but best game ever? Better then TP? MM? WW? OOT? ALTTP? tLOZ? Super Metroid? SMB3? Super Mario World? Super Mario 64? Counter-Strike? Chrono Trigger? Metrid Primes 1-3? Hunters? NEW SMB? Goldeneye? Perfect Dark? Halos 1-3? Metal Gear Solid 2&3? FFVI? FFIV? FFVII? FFVIII? Pokémon Blue and Red Version? Pokémon Crystal? Well, I guess it is in your opioion. And Metroid Prime 1-3+Hunters ftw.
-If Youko were in charge of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (God knows how many clones I'd put in Brawl if I WERE IN CHARGE!
): Sonic...yes, seriously. Green Hillzone, yes. Shadow alternate costume, yes. Tingle NEEDS TO BE THE PUNCHING BAG! Ridley as a boss and PC=win. big and not so big (both) ftw. Wolf....he'd be a clone if I were in charge (and Fox, Falco, and Krystal would be in alredy, possibly with Falco as a clone). 50+ characters...you sound like me, and my clone idealogies. (except ya know, I'd put in 40+ characters; probably around 45 on up). 40 is the bare minimum IMO, not expecting anything else. Midna and Wolf Link...maybe (and keep Shiek, but give her nerf her). And I'd have cel-shaded Pokémon (because most of them look pathetic when not CS), and change crappy attacks with better ones. Chancey would work.
Online play...I'd make NO LAG! NO LAG! After character roster, that is the most important thing (tied with stages, actually). ALternate costumes...I'd have at least 6-8 minimum for each character, have a in depth story mode that makes the Zelda's, MGS's, and FF's of the world look like a crappy games in terms of story. Music...would make Star War's soundtrack weep in pain at it's awsomeness. In other words, Ridley's theme would be a average song. Ya I said it, average (and it's the best Brawl theme yet). Event Matches would be epic, and would have a story tie in if I did it. A story in all the story modes, that would grab you, strangle you, and pull you in forever and ever and ever. Ya, I'd pretty much **** you if I was making Brawl, and did all that.
The flexy voice? LOL. just LOL.
Mailtime was neat, but it could've been better. Still, a neat add, and will be intresting to see how it develops.
9.2/10
Because Sariku's question was great. Talk about asking the right question.
Brawl Viewpoint from StarPhoneix (sorry if I mispelled your name):
Music...well, it should be pretty much orchestrated. Kid Icarus was kinda old and repetitve, but still kinda good. It needs to have many music scores. And obviously Sakurai is mindgaming us, and is saving it for his ultimate "End" that he's been talking us to about, and is leading us to his ultimate dream and goal:
Outter Music Haven. The Custom Robo music sounds great. Woaw. Almost makes me want to play the game. If only I knew how to get it. That's epic, and shoiuld be in (like the Balloon Fight theme).
And Animal Crossing...that sounds great. It should be left somewat the same, and peaceful. F-Zero sounds great, is pretty awsome musically.
Metroid and Metroid Prime...is great music, but needs to be sythesized. It is too much rock and a bad mix of country. Ridley music...that was pretty sweet. I want to hear the MP3 opening. MP, or any music would be great. "It will makes children cry." Awsome line. It will, and it will be a classic. Great entry, and good job on that. Good to hear someone outside of the SWF (especially from a ever awsome EarthBound fanbase like StarMen.net).
8.2/10
Great job, and well done first entry. Good to hear a contrasting point, and from a diffrent point of view and source.
And we need Kirby music. FoD's theme is simply spectacular.
Overall Podcast Rating: 8.3/10
Maybe the lack of roundtable or something made it not as good as last time, but was well done, with things like the nice add of mailtime. 57 days in counting...9 week and 1 day left.
Youko's Roomate Quote of the week is the scariest thing since playing Super Metroid when you are 6, at 1 in the morning. Scary crap. And Kirby Master Chief for the win. "RAMPAGE!" "Killing Spree" "WOAW Shiz-nick!" *you never saw that coming*
The Future Super Smash Bros. Brawl pwnage newcomer Ridley approves of Youko's podcast, and demands you listen. Otherwise, he'll either eat you, spit his flamethrower of death at you, claw you one for the kill, or kill you some otherway, grusomely, painfully, and slowly on you.
OBEY THE RIDLEY!
^ I'm going to start using that line again.
