It said it's more powerful than your average hammer. How the hell can you get any more powerfull than that? ~60% per swing? One hit KO? O_o

 

[WoapGang]

Lmao, let's hope it doesn't get 'roid rage and pwn your family like Chris Benoit.

dude thats not cool....

 

[Adi]

Mmmm, wrecking crew nostalgia.

 

[studgangsta]

You really don't like this one? It's so long and detailed. That's why I liked updates like My Music and Special Brawl.

 

[Bassoonist]

I'm interested in how he worded the update, the item itself doesn't interest me the least bit, really. I guess it might be fun to use...

Anyways:

It’s even more powerful than a normal hammer. And it’s even more rare.

Rare? I thought all items where set at equal chance of appearing...

 

[Joshua368]

So the Gold hammer can break too....kind of weird how the head changes to a normal hammer from Melee....oh well,,, HAMMER HEAD THROWING IS BACK WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! XDDDD

No, there are two separate hammers. The regular one has its head thrown off, the new golden one can sometimes be squeaky.

Definitely sounds like an interesting penalty... and it seems like you won't notice it until you've already made contact with somebody, as opposed to the other hammer where you have time to run away.

Not true. Even if you set items to Very High, and only put on Barrel Cannon, you could go a whole match without finding one.

 

[tafutureboy]

haha, pick axe...i didnt even notice...

I noticed that and never understood that.

However, I always thought that was a glitch. When I turned on other items on very high WITH the Barrel Cannon it would appear quite commonly, as opposed to having it on very high by itself I never see one.

You thought the Headless Hammer was a pick axe this time around too? Yea, glancing at that snapshot makes it look like one, that's for sure.

 

[maxpower1227]

I played Super Mario Bros., Ice Climber, Duck Hunt and Zelda (to name a few) on the NES when i was a little girl.

Now i am an adult, and I have decent knowledge of Nintendo's history.

And.....................I never heard of Wrecking Crew ...........

That's kinda funny, because I never really played the classics like Zelda or Metroid on the NES, but I knew ALL about Wrecking Crew >_>

The regular hammer only does 22% damage per hit. You can easily make something more powerful. In fact, I'm pretty sure there are several items/special moves in Melee that do more damage.

actually no the regular hammer did 20% per hit in SSBMwhile the one that appeard in the first SSB did 30% per hit

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

actually no the regular hammer did 20% per hit in SSBMwhile the one that appeard in the first SSB did 30% per hit

So I'll say that the Golden Hammer will produce something like 35 or 40% damage.

yeah that seem about right............then watch do 100% per hit when the game comes Out XDDDDD

Wow, something that powerful NEEDS an unlucky penalty.

Wow, 69th post.

I wonder how much damage the Squeaky one will do


no wait ...better question.......How hard am i going to laugh when it starts squeaking XDDDDD

Especially when it's your opponent who grabbed it. At least you should still be able to float in midair.

that is tru...wonder y Sakurai put that ability in the item......

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

I wonder... will you be able to float during the whole duration of the barrage?

And if you're floating, can you jump?

And if you can jump while floating, can you start floating again?

And if you can jump while floating and jump again, can you float again?

ZOMG! GOLDEN HAMMER MAKES YOU FLY! [/rumor]

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

I wonder if u can make only this item appear by using the item switch...that is if they put in the item switch back....

Hey speaking of which ( Off topic srry ) do u think they'll be an option to change the number of appreancec of a Smash Ball?????

 

[Fanewgie]

An alright update, I guess.

One thing I got out of it is it seems like Sakurai will only update on older items if they're note worthy. He kind of wove the original hammer in with this one. He made a post for the crates because they have new aspects. He made a post for the bumper as it was making a triumphant return. Et cetera.

In other words, I don't think we have a reason to dread the infamous "Beam Sword" update. That is, of course, unless they made the item quite more complex and interesting than before. But... how could you make a beam sword less simplistic?

 

[THOR-AXE]

Online Confirmed Baby Woooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

THE HAMMER IS A MARIO ITEM!!!
i thought it was DK's
the old hammer used to do 22% damage
but this one 33%or44%damage i think

 

[Platypus]

I have high hopes for a Shine Sprite item that's like a Starman, but causes damage to those who the user contacts and adds extra effects to attacks.

I have a great idea for a Shine Sprite!
(Thanks for the inspiration)

Shine Sprite falls, bounces around like a Starman. Player jumps into it-- {Shine Sprite chime}/{blinding flash}-- all the players opponents are woozy and blinded! Free shots!

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

With my luck, my first Golden Hammer is going to be a Squeaky.

 

[Kirb94]

It's from Wrecking Crew. It's like a squeaky hammer when it malfunctions.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

yeah i hope a starman comes back

 

[C.S. Dinah]

Wow now I've got two hammers to worry about.

 

[yoshi_friend]

wut do u think its other special powers could be? maybe you could have infinite jump with it.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

The ability to hover seems fair enough to me. What's more effective than having a hammer to ledge guard? Chasing down your victims in the air with your hammer before they can make it back to the ledge.
