Smart Bombs are a blast in Brawl!

[blayde_axel]

Hey, a new item for Event No. 3: Bomb-Fest!

Nice use of duds, also. Now, my friend who uses items will be that much more unlucky.

I myself am somewhat annoyed that the Pause looks exactly the same as the Melee one on the Training update, in that it doesn't freeze the action at all. That was annoying.

How can you tell from a still screenshot?

You do it all the time. It's pretty **** annoying especially when the answers to your questions are so obvious. You would have to be incredibly stupid if you don't know that Electrode will be in Brawl.

You are an ***. Even if an answer is obvious and the person annoys you that's no excuse for being abusive, grow up a bit.

I found today's update a bit less mundane than most of last week's, I'd missed the Smart Bomb in the E for All videos and it was interesting seeing that football, even if we didn't learn anything about it.

Great item we got today.

Also, I don't think it's that obvious. Not counting blurry little few-second parts of E For All videos, no one really would know whether Electrode was in Brawl or not. Also, Pokemon from the original 64 version were cut in Melee, so I think it's quite feasible for Pokemon from Melee to be cut in Brawl. Seriously, man, if someone doesn't know something, I don't find it that annoyingly ignorant.

nice update, both of em cuz the training 1 had 2 happen eventually.... not a bad thing tho.
I'm pretty curious about the soccer ball (foot ball). What will it do? if u kick it will it just bounce / roll around? i dunno...

Except for the fact that there's a very clear picture of it on the update and in this thread...

I don't have starfox assault (though I played it and didn't like it at all, but didnt encounter the smart bomb either)....so what is so special about it? I can see it has a huge blast radius, but does it also mean that upon contact it sucks its opponent into the center?

It's pretty much like the Bullet Bills at Princess PEach's stage in Melee, except without the huge knockback.

Before this update, PRINCESSPEACH777 was not aware that Electrode was in Brawl, prompting the question.

He/she asked after the update was posted, and after several posts with pictures of Electrode in them. Meh, it doesn't matter, all of that person's posts are like that anyway, and they're confined to this forum so they must be bored.

Star Fox Nerd Alert:

Is it just me or was the Smart Bomb actually called a Nova Bomb in the Star Fox Franchise? I was 99% sure it was, but I guess I might be mistaken.

I think they changed the name in Assault...I think.

 

[trio1000]

thst would be gay if you were able to pick up the soccer ball with your hands

 

[Livvers]

Hahaha. I love love love this update. It's cool seeing smart bombs in this game. Love the fact that they don't always explode. It'll be good for some laughs.

 

[Mega Inkydog]

For some reason, I thought the Smart Bomb was from Mertroid, not StarFox.

 

[maxpower1227]

Wasn't this thing called a Nova Bomb?

Nope. They call them smart bombs in Star Fox 64.

And that is obviously the only one that matters

 

[Espy Rose]

Nybb wins. I remember it being called the smart bomb in SF64 as well.

lol, "Use bombs wisely!" -Peppy

thst would be gay if you were able to pick up the soccer ball with your hands

It'd be even funnier if when you grabbed it, you gain damage for a penalty...

EPIC PHAIL

Man, that picture makes up for the whole month! *Sigs it*

 

[Tyrannotaur]

Aww Poor electrode. He wanted to kill someone..

I Think Voltorb should be in Brawl and do the same thing as Electrode just on a smaller scale.

 

[DraginHikari]

There was something similar in Metroid but I think that was named Power bomb not Smart Bomb.

i'm a SHE thank you very much
and i'm so so sorry for not being perfect like you guys

Sorry then. Apology accepted. Just learn to read better.

ok i guess

 

[NukeA6]

it's because i didn't see an update about Electrode

Do you not see the Electrode in the screenshot? That alone should have answered your question. The super scope didn't have its own update so are you doubting its inclusion in Brawl?

every pokemon have their own update but not Electrode

 

[flyinfilipino]

Or Chikorita, or Goldeen.

 

[Akiak]

I love the dud thing. Now the game is much more realistic!
But maybe the smart bomb is too much like most final smashes...but it doesen't bother me.

 

[Tanea]

Wow, you completely missed my point.

I was *****ing about not being able to use the C-Stick in training mode in Melee, and they're doing the same thing in Brawl.

oh................. i retract my statement

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

Or Chikorita, or Goldeen.

i guess you are right....oh well
i saw staryu.....not fair i wanted starmie

 

[Knyaguy]

Like the design adds a nice touch to brawl and the Starfox franchise.

 

[Kraid Guy]

Yeah, we needed a Star Fox item.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

that soccer ball has an uncanny resemblance to the balls in Animal Crossing, probably from there.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

The smart bomb is cool...and now we also know Electrode is returning...

 

[bob-bomber]

:burst: electrode only wishes

 

[Sieged Eagle]

Nice update, but I wanted a character update today.

Although this item would've been funner to use if you could detonate it like on the original Star Fox games, but still, it looks pretty powerful, but sometimes, it might end like the headless hammer, which would make many people laugh (like when one of my friends get a dud hammer when I'm about to die). I might as well use it on some fights, even though I'm used to Pokeball to no item fights.

 

[Red_Maniac]

I'm a little disappointed by training Mode. There appears to be no changes at all.

As am I.

The Smart Bomb update doesn't help the chances of Items POSSIBLY being in tournaments. Whether a bomb/Electrode/AT is a dud just adds even more luck and chance to the game.
Oh well, Im playing with Items ON!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

isnt wedsday usually "newcomer" day, hopefully we'll get something on those lines. I liked this update, but I know people get ansy and need a character to tide them over for a few more weeks.

 

[Fanewgie]

This week already completely and totally trumps last week.

Iceberg was great, I find it hard to complain about a Final Smash that was previously completely unknown. The only thing that bugs me is it not being double-updated.

The Smart Bomb is fantastic and one of those items I've been wanting to see in Smash for a long time. I jumped for joy when I saw it in the demonstration footage. Glad to finally see the update, too, to stop completely worthless speculation as to what game it's from, even if 99% of us knew it was from Star Fox.

Training is a yawn as there's absolutely nothing new about it. Thank god they had the decency to double update this one.
