Swimming in brawl?

[Pokec]

Maybe I'm missing out on something, but what does "exceed 300ft in combined swim" exactly mean?

Will we be swimming in Brawl, too?!

 

[smash_lord1050]

lol we might.

 

[Trophyhunter]

Maybe it's a bonus games like Break the targets.

 

[MajinSweet]

Yeah. certain stages have water that you can swim in. Look at the last pic of the summit. http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/stage16.html

 

[Pokec]

ha. my goodness. this game is OBESE.

 

[FieryRebirth]

Yeah, there's even a sticker that apparently prolongs swim time(you don't swim very long before going out of the ring)as well, you can see it in the Trophy/Sticker video in the latest Iwata Asks.

Well, I THINK it prolongs it, or maybe just increases swim speed?

 

[ZeldaFox38]

Great. Now I'm going to have to buy those little arm floaters for Pikachu . . .XD

It's a pretty neat concept.

 

[Jackal478]

This is old news, we've known this since E4All.

 

[Metroid_01]

ha. my goodness. this game is OBESE.

Fat?

Watch the Charizard in this video around 1:25.

If you look at the japanese version of this update, it says 100 instead of 300

100 meters, maybe? I'm pretty sure JPN doesn't go by our measurement system.

Yeah, I seem to remember being very confused by different regional versions of Melee having feet and meter systems for Home Run contest.

Will It Float? On this episode we discuss Sonic, will he sink or float with arm floaters or just float without any reason because its brawl?

He'll instantly die.

Unless he wears a life jacket, and is suddenly completely fine with water, like in M&SatOG.

Apparently, there's a certain amount of time each character can swim, as seen here at 39 seconds, notice it says swim time +20. Thanks to ShortFuse for for the video.

 

[rushoffailure]

So, does that mean the US version is easier to unlock things in, since 100 meters is 328 feet?

 

[TidalSpiral]

Hopefully my beloved Dedede can just turn into a floatie and glide back to safety. :D I jumped on to see if anyone else had seen that yet, I should know better with all you Smash-maniacs around. Will be neat to have some watery levels.

Jesus christ. Can people actually do research before creating stupid *** threads like this.

oh, im sorry i created a thread thats really really really bothering you.

i didnt mean for it to be life threatening in anyway, seeing as how abbrasive your comment sounded.



On a side note, I understand that there is a minimum amount of time that a character can "swim" while on a stage....but to exceed 300 ft....

1) how do you know if you exceed 300 ft or not? is there something thats supposed to tell you this or what?

2) why would you, floating/swimming in a tiny little area on a stage, be measured in relation to your swimming distance....thats weird

 

[motsalogeL]

Ya know, its people like you that cause the brawl boards to be regarded as the worst in the forums.

sorry, but ur comment was neither wanted or necessary.

again, its comments like that that fuel flamming in boards

 

[motsalogeL]

Or its people like you that make people want to flame.

Nah, I'm sure they just wouldn't tell you, it'd probably only be on the stats page. Hey, I don't know for sure, obviously, that's just my guess.

 

[suzuki brawl]

charizard can't swim

It's 300 ft combined, so it doesn't have to be in one match. The total distance will probably be displayed in the Data section (or whatever it will be called). If you check character data in Melee, you already see that the game keeps track of walking distance, jumping distance, etc.

As for how useful it is, it remains to be seen. It looks like swimming regenerates your jump count, but how it works exactly, no one knows.

Quite true, though the original thread may have been locked, or some people really didn't know (kind of sad)

Beaten... that's what I was gonna say

It should be clarified for noobs that "swimming" is not free swimming.

Essentially you "float" in water and can go back and forth. You aren't actually doing a bunch of swimming around. It should also be noted that when swimming, your vulnerable to attacks which can spike you.
