Smash Under Siege!

[Mic_128]

Before you all grab your weaponry, I don’t mean literally. The latest stage revealed, was one of the first shown in the Original Brawl Trailer. This Nameless Castle is the representative of Fire Emblem, the equivilent of Hyrule Temple. “It’s an enemy castle in the midst of battle—but it’s not set in a particular castle, nor is it from a particular game in the series. ”

Doesn’t make it any less awesome.

<!--more-->
You fight on the top of this castle while flaming balls of ball shaped flame fly in the background.

However after a while, whoops, the roof caves in, and it’s then time to bring this fight indoors. Don’t let the new environment cause you to slip up Yoshi!

Oh, and feel free to redecorate if you don’t like the destructable Statues.

That’s not the end of it either. The floor then gives way to “The Underground”. What’s down there? Who knows. All we get is this screen of the fighters falling. Does the bottom somehow take them back to the castle roof? Is there a real “bottom” of the stage where the fight continues? Does the fight then go on in freefall? I’m willing to bet this is one thing we have to wait to find out for ourselves when the game launches.

[Mr fN LeOn]

I will be stupid if dey fight in a freefall rememba powerstone2? It wasn’t dat fun fighting durin the fall but the stage looks nice

 

[Sakurai]

Has anyone but me noticed that all of the new stages in this game usually don’t have a very creative set-up. It’s usually just a long, flat platform with a few pass through platforms. One of the only exeptions to this is DK’s new place where you have to climb up. Even in Delfino plaza. Though the platform may take you to different places, all of the places htat I have seen are just, not even platforms , but ground. But I do think that this place is pretty sweet. This may actually be the first place that I play just so I can figure out waht the underground look like, or if there is even one. I would like there to be a freefall section of this place, where you can just fight while falling. I love arial combat.

 

[ravenkikas]

The stage is awesome! I hope it’s not a freefall batlle too, i cant really imagine that after the fall you go back to the top of the castle =\ maybe a new part of the stage deep underground.. who knows… guess we hav eto wait.

 

[ravenkikas]

I hope they show bigger stages too, diferent in shape and not just those flast stages that we know so far wich are awesome by the way.. i just want to see something diferent (like that DK stage)

 

[Sakurai]

By the way, on my first reply, when I was talking about the different stages, I wasn’t complaining. I love those kinds of stages. I was just pointing something out. But just like what ravenkikas said, I would like to see something more unique every once and a while.

 

[awesome ivan]

you probably fall for awhile and A; the background turns from grey to blue and you fall back on the roof, B; you land in a plain dirt floor room, fight awhile then the floor explodes, propeling you to the top C; you land in the same room, fight awhile, the wall that your looking from shatters, the “below” goes into the backgrond and you climb up a seige tower and/or windows, or D; you land in a hell themed place with lava and floating platforms and a deamon telaports you to the roof. B or C are probably the best since in the falling pic you can see a dirt floor or something…

 

[Mic_128]

“Sakurai” : Yes, a fair few “neutral” stages have been shown. But look at how many are in Melee.

 

[ravenkikas]

yeah, there are so many game universes that they can use in order to make such awesome stages and not just plain flat, so many things they can use, i hope they have stages like that and they are just saving them to show us latter.. But so far they just revealed 9 stages in the site, there’s so many more to see maybe they are just doing it on porpuse to make us even more insane with the wait for the game =p

 

[Rhyme]

Basic is good. Having several stages which are fairly generic and standard will ensure that there is more than just 5 tournament legal random levels. I like the new level designes, personally. It’s annoying to fight against your opponent AND the stage. Even the Mario Circuit stage has platforms where fighters can take refuge if they wish to avoid the cars all together, which is better than Mute City.

The FE stage looks cool, and we’ve seen the level element before on Melee’s Planet Zebes stage. As for the freefall, it’d be refreshing if you could fight during 10 seconds of freefall, as well as slightly “reminiscent” of Metroid Prime 3. (The Ridley fight from the trailer, in quotes because we can’t reminisce yet.)

 

[Rhyme]

XDD

I completely forgot, remember how people have been arguing for the past few months over which Fire Emblem game that castle is from? Well, TAKE THIS, “it’s not set in a particular castle, nor is it from a particular game in the series” ~ developer’s blog, assumably Mr. Sakurai. ^^

Oh, one more thing, using Sakirai’s name as your smash blog name is awefully disrespectful, wouldn’t you agree?

 

[ravenkikas]

yeah allright i guess it wouldnt be bad if we could fight for some seconds in freefall.. and i’m not saying the stages we’ve seen so far are bad i really love them! And yeah the tournament factor is something they should really have in mind but i would still like to have some stages bigger and a litlle different

 

[ravenkikas]

i agree with rhyme… have sakurai as a smash blog name sure is kind of weird

 

[brawlin]

It’s pretty rude. (7)

 

[Kinnikuman]

I actually think a free fall battle would be kinda cool but I also think Tom Nook would be the coolest character addition EVUR!!!!!!

 

[Kinnikuman]

Oh I get it Brawlin!

 

[brawlin]

You STILL think that Tom Nook will be a character?

 

[Kinnikuman]

Sorry 4 the triple post but btw I don’t see how having Sakurai as a name is disrespectful? Watch that Sakurai dude will never post again. I lose.

 

[Kinnikuman]

Yes Nook = Win

 

[brawlin]

I’m not trying to be anti-Nook here, but I just don’t see what kind of a move-set he could have.

(Monty Mole forever!)

 

[Kinnikuman]

Is there anyway to make it so the stage doesn’t get destroyed or does it do it automatically u think?

 

[Kinnikuman]

I’ll be back with my nook moveset in one moment…..Aw to lazy, just look in the pitfall topic please

 

[Kinnikuman]

Wait Monty Mole? Explain his Moves?

 

[Kinnikuman]

.

 

[masher 14]

freefall fighting seems agood at first, then i noticed if you used the Up-B move, you would be stuck there in freefall untill someone hit you.

 

[brawlin]

A- scratch (quickly like Metak knights sword)
A&gt;- swipes to the side and claws slightly grow
A^ bicycle kick
A down (where’s the down arrow?)- scratch down

B down- if on solid ground, dig down in place and then pop up (like in mario strikers for the wii) if in the air, then quickly falls like kirby becoming a rock
B&gt; scrath down (like DK’s) and they get stuck in the ground
B^ fly’s up on fire (kind of like fox)
B- scratch combo (like roy and Marth’s B&gt the last one has fire

But I’m sure the creators can come up with more creative attacks.

 

[Kinnikuman]

Masher that made a little too much sense for nobody else to think about.

 

[Kinnikuman]

Look Brawlin Monty Mole = Assist trophy! And why would monty mole fly up on fire? And I’m a little confused, Scratch down gets people stuck in the ground??

 

[brawlin]

read’m and weep Kinnikuman

 

[brawlin]

why would a fox fly up on fiire, and his B&gt; is like DK’s B&gt;

 

[brawlin]

Tom Nook = assist trophy

 

[Kinnikuman]

Look Dk= big strong ape he can shove peeps in the ground! Who would want to be someone with just one real move of his own?!?!?! Tom Nook’s Moveset is more diverse and Nook himself is a more important character so he has the possibility to be more than jus an AT! I mean if they put in some side character like monty mole why not put in Petey or Boo or Birdo or Hammer Bro. Oh and here’s that nook moveset agan it was not made by me

 

[Kinnikuman]

[Kinnikuman]

WHAT NOW BRAWLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[brawlin]

1st- whats with the ?/5. It makes no sense
2nd- you didn’t even say all of his attacks
3rd- Tom Nook is from a game that has nothing to do with fighting
4th- If they let tom nook in then why not the character you play as, or the sewing ladies, or the giraffe with the car?

 

[Mr fN LeOn]

U kno wat **** tom nook he’s mad soft I don’t want any characters like dat lol

 

[brawlin]

Monty Mole’s SSA is, he digs underground, jumps up grabs a character and starts slashing away.

 

[brawlin]

thanks Mr fN LeOn

 

[Kinnikuman]

?/5 = his stats. It was trying to explain like how fast he was like Fox would be a 5 out of 5 in speed.
Le0n that was unnecesary.
Ok look lets both stop
Even if all your reasons are basically things I said shot back especially the 4th one. You didn’t even answer my questions and you just criticized a moveset that I didn’t even make so stop complaining to me please. If Monty Mole gets in as a playable character I will admit you know better than I, but c’mon u guys cant blame me its friggin Monty Mole where the hell did he come from anyway?!?!? And Actually nobody in smash is really a fighter. Mario just jumps on stuff, Fox, Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers c’mon their not fighters but they r in the game so why not Tom Nook?
All I’m saying is Animal crossing Item and stage and logo where do the signs point from a neutral perspective?

 

[Kinnikuman]

Btw, Sakurai the poster not the person is the same person as brawlin. So how much would some chicken dude know what characters can fight if he just ran away from a couple comments?
