Solid Objects

[Twintail]

I didn't see anyone else mention this on any other threads so I just thought I'd put it out there whether or not it's obvious. It looks to me that in this smash all objects will be solid and tangible, unlike in previous ones where you can simply walk through them i.e. other characters, items not picked up, boxes. I'm wondering how this will affect gameplay, as for those of us who sometimes use items would no longer be able to sprint across a stage with a box in our way. The update today, as well as the shot of pikachu on top of a barrol, also the "breakable stages" and samus's suit make me think this is the way the new smash will be. It isn't anything huge but I suppose not being able to pass through certain objects makes things more realistic and yet less accessable I guess. Any thoughts?

it will funner that way. think of all the funny photos people would take of a pikachu riding on a box or a wario running on top of a barrel going down hill.

Like building blocks! i wanna make a castle out of crates!

Anyways, awesomeness aside. This Is Brawl, Characters can interact with items, levels, and characters in a new way previously impossible, all this shows that the game will indeed use the Havoc Engine in it's Mechanics

The barrels would be my other concern, can you jump on it while its rolling and not have it explode, like say be able to stack crates and then push your "insert deadly name" tower on another person... hmmm

what this could mean that the clouds in the skyworld are dealing with the solid objects thing
For instance
1.Dk slams Wario down at the solid platform first Wario goes down like an ordinary meteor, hits the platform and breaks it but still able to stand atop of the cloud below him
2.Dk does the same thing above^but with the cloud thing and wario goes thourgh the cloud instead and falling to his death
This topic may show how the graphics in the game may work

I hope they have it so if items are on the stage, you can run, and while running past them, they get kicked away. Would be a nice detail...

This is a genius idea. I hope it's real though, because I'd love the game to get as realistic as it can get. This may also make the game harder for people who play with items, and people who don't as well. I myself would like a harder game because Melee starts to get REALLY fun once you actually start getting good, and if it takes even longer to get good at Brawl, I welcome it.
Offtopic: My friend and I think we're good, but then we searched "SSBM" on YouTube and watch "Falco and Fox hardcore battle" ....and then we were put to shame.

i definitely think ur rite, especially after the footstool update on the website this is definitely possible.

Rolling down barrels; that is a throwback to the days of DKC.

i hope you can still walk through people though. it's a good mindgame

Hide inside of them! Where did Pichu go?!?!

Though i don't think you'll be able to walk through people either = /
