Target test only has five maps now. Oh.

[Monshou_no_Nazo]

True, I overlooked that. That's dissapointing. I guess no more deaths trying to get that last target.

That might be an easy setting.

 

[lavamage]

I personally was thinking that it was 5 for each character.

 

[voittaa711]

I can't wait to pwn my friends then send them the replay afterward.

 

[Lemon Drop]

This reminds me of the vague Smash ball update. Stating that it can only be used once after getting it.

Many took it literally and thought 'Only once in the ENTIRE match'. While others thought 'Only after getting the Smash Ball' well the Demo shows multiple Smash Balls in it. Plus Zero Suit Samus (who at the moment, can only be accessed after Samus' final smash) has her own Final Smash. So this can be taken both ways.

 

[RedKnight]

I dont care if its only five levels, I LOVE target test, and maybe each stage is a little different for each character, or the targets are in different places

 

[Eight Sage]

Maybe there are less scenarios for being too much characters? I wish!

 

[Cruise]

theres gonna be like 200 target test variations then lol

 

[FalcoChamp]

its 5 maps per character

 

[CT Chia]

i really think its 5 per character, not 5 total

 

[Brentos4o8]

Well 5 maps each for an estimated 40 characters?
That's 5x40=200.
200 different target maps.
I don't think they'd design that many.
They'd have to use doubles some how or something.
200 is just ridiculous.

 

[rexpro02]

i think its only 5 maps..because 5 for each chararcter is waaaay too much.... and since this smash is using many things from the original SSB64 ...do u think we get to play "board the platforms" again??

 

[BokutoGuy]

way 2 confusing update, but nice."This time, there are five different maps of varying difficulty" i think that means either 5 maps or 5 with said number of difficluty lvl

 

[volbound1700]

The update isn't clear at all on whether there are 5 maps or 5 per character. I am leaning towards just 5 because 200 maps would be an insane amount of memory.

 

[lukintosh]

Sorry dude but at max theres gonna be (5 maps X 50(max number of characters))= 250 maps.

 

[Raikage]

I think the guy who said 5 maps with 5 difficulties each is right. Thats 25 maps which sounds reasonable. Makes the most sense to me at least, since 5 maps for each character would be hundreds of maps, that just sounds like way too many.

 

[Maricalistaro]

Its just not feasable for there to be 5 per character. I would would be kinda upset if they did when they could just use the time to create a new stadium mode or something because they would end up with upwards of 200+ target tests. Also I think that seperate records would be kept for each character on the five stages as to be fair to the slower characters etc...

Nintendo is a master in saving memory =)
We dont know how the bulding of the TT Stages works. There could probley recycling backgrounds and elements and using a Stage Editor. So they could easly build many diffrent stages in no time. Balancing would be the only problem ... but there working enough people on Brawl.

 

[::FalcoFTW::]

It was quite an ambiguous update. As usual, like with the final samsh. It could go either way, but when you think about it, it doesn't make sense to have 200+ maps, so yeah, there's prbly only 25.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

They mean only 5 maps period. There are too many characters already to warrant each character getting 5 maps. Right now, 22 characters confirmed x 5 BTT maps= 110. See? There are too many characters for there to be 5 individual maps each.

 

[Pieman0920]

5 maps per character is more feasible than some may think. It doesn't mean that there is a complete overhaulf for each map, just more items for easier difficulties, and more obsticles for harder ones. It's not that difficult to implement. =/

 

[pud22]

i wonder if the replay function has to be preset or if u can jus turn it on in the middle of a match, from like the pause screen or sumthin

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

It's 5. Just plain 5.

"Each of the five maps is distinctive." Gives it away.

This is not "all the maps", not "Each character's maps". It's just
"Each of the five maps".

Get over it.

 

[Ianthraxx]

EDIT: ...I read the dojo update a little closer and it's actually kinda worrisome. I hope it was a translating error.

 

[Drclaw411]

What is more disturbing to me is the picture with metaknight...

You can't die!

also: anybody notice the buttons in the corner? he's using the gamecube controller

 

[G&Wismyhomeboy]

If they recycled the 5 different maps, keeping the platforms and stage the same but changing the locations of the targets for each character, then the data containing each character's 5 Target Tests would probably take up less space than this post. The biggest disc space hog by far would be the 5 maps.

 

[raphtmarqui]

They're probably just trying to avoid making 35+ maps, which i can see why.

 

[Hoboman725]

Are you sure he didn't mean 5 varied difficulties of Maps for each character?

that's what I thought.

 

[Mambo]

I like the fact you can accutally compare times accuratly between characters. But the uniquness of each one was good esp used as a sort of advanced tutorial of sorts to use techniques in creative wasy. There will be many ways though to tackle BTT but maybe some slight variation between characters? Oh well.

 

[Danielman]

I just read the update.
It points to a 5 level BTT but with each level balanced to make it challenging for each character

This doesnt look like its metaknight Only.

But hey since its gonna be equally challenging for everyone no one will have an advantage




I hope

 

[OmegaXXII]

this is what is on the DOJO

It’s outdoors now, giving it a refreshing visual appearance. This time, there are five different maps of varying difficulty—challenges you can take on with your favorite character.

according to this, I believe there will be only five different maps, but each map will differ depending on a character

 

[Titan05]

"This time, there are five different maps of varying difficulty"
I think this means each character has five different maps with varying difficulty.

Could that be Meta Knights easy one?

 

[Cyclist]

There may be so that you can unlock new targettests.

 

[Ralph_Marquee]

I kinda liked how everyone had their own map

 

[LavisFiend]

You guys do know u can only save about 3mins of replay time?? how lame is that?

A true badass can finish target test in 40 seconds, max.

anything past 3 minutes and you are beginning to stray towards mental ***********.

 

[Joshua368]

I'm guessing we're only getting give generic maps for this.

And then perhaps we'll get character specific Board the Platforms challenges. :D

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

Maybe by maps they mean backgrounds. You know, every character has them targets positioned differently and have different obstacles, but they're have the same background. Maybe Background=Difficulty? Remember there's 5 difficulties.

 

[skyblue]

Hmmm...I really don't care If there's only five or if each character has five, but I read it as each character has five. I'm sure there's going to be five different backrounds corresponding with the five difficulties. Also, many Break the Targets shouldn't take up THAT much space... BTW, I can't ever recall a videogame running out of space for development. Please enlighten me. If I'm right, we don't need to worry about space. (although I'm probably very wrong)

 

[Endless Nightmares]

lmao @ all the people in denial...there are five maps TOTAL. Don't kid yourself.

 

[Wreked]

Ok I noticed one thing look at the color of the targets. And now look at this picture.

You can see that the colors match the colors of the targets. So the one Metaknight is playing on normal, DK is playing on easy, and Samus is playing on hard. And you can see that they each are different backgrounds and the ground and walls are different. My guess that the five maps are just simply the difficulities and the auctual map(the ground and walls) while the targets and ground will be rearranged to fit the players unique abilities.

So I was (kinda) right!!!!! Hadn't noticed the target colors.

Good news?
