Final update for the week, and Sakurai unleashes a new stage on us. It’s ripped right from Link’s last outing, the Bridge of Eldin.

This is a rather flat (Sakurai “Extremely Flat”) stage which by the looks of it has very close edges, ala Mushroom Kingdom I and II, so you’re going to want to stay in the middle of the stae as much as posible. And speaking of things to avoid, King Bulblin is back for a Cameo. Watch out when he charges across the stage.

Other than just charging across the stage, King Bulblin also throws bombs to do damage to players, and also the environment. Watch out when the bridge breaks. It’s a looooong way down.

However, when this happens, it isn’t the end, just like in Twilight Princess, a replacement bridge part pops up from the portal in the sky. Thanks Minda, where ever you are! (NOTE: This is just me adding colour, there is nothing hinted at all about Minda’s involvment with the stage)

Stage looks nice but the actual gameplay in the stage will suck

The Final Destination of Brawl?

At least there are enviroment effects…still this is the weakest of the Stages thus far. Give us the Mario Kart stage!

This stage to me seems to be a definite 4 not being allowed in tournaments

So if Midna’s the one putting the bridge back together (think, who else could it BE?), she might not be playable.

Wow, not even close to FD but ok. No ledges, destructable stage, and stage hazards…hmmmm sounds just like FD.

Personally this stage looks great, but until I play on it I can’t really judge how well it will play. Perhaps King Bulblin and his “random” stage charges will keep people from camping the sides for easy kills.

Definitely some interesting updates this week.

Well if the stage is destroyed in the middle for longer than an minute, some air battles will commence.

how soon after the bridge breaks does it get fixed? like is it 1 min. or 2 min. or what? and when does bulblin appear? how often?

The stage is very long. It would probably take Mario 20 seconds to run from one side to the other. Judging by the size of the hole, he would not be able to jump across from one side to the other, even with his Super Jump Punch.

If Donkey Kong returns with that spinning recovery move of his, he’d pwn here.

Looks like a good stage for Kirby, Fox, and Pit. especially Pit since he can fly and has long range power he’ll be the one to beat here. Maybe this stage could be Wolf Link’s?

Eh the stage seems a little plain. It will be interesting to see how often bulbo comes across. At least it will be big. I also wonder if bulbo will destroy different parts of the stage or just one.

Awesome stage Love the Vie of hyrule castle in the back. Permanent Twilight adds a great apmosphere

This in no way is Final Destination, the fact that the edges are right at the edge of the screen means it’s more like Flatzone than FD.

Sneaky: There’s no actual mention of Minda at all in Sakurai’s update, so Minda could still be in.

seams perfect for mario, bowser, and pikachus final smash. actually, a perfect place for any final smash since its flat and theres no where to hide.

I think this looks like the best level so far, and how is it like final destination. That sounds ********

No problem princess peach. I don’t see how you could fight effectively with a character like Midna, unless she is on Wolf Link, or if she is in her human size, otherwise it would be difficult to make up a moveset for Midna, the standalone character.

Midna &amp; Wolf Link as a transformation for Link (alla Zelda and Shiek) would be interesting. And if she is playable in any form, the Final Smash is pretty obvious.

B- Wolf Link pounce
Up B- Wolf Link + Midna Jump (like from TP)
Down B- Energy Ring, held down to make bigger like in TP
Side B- Midna’s Ancient Power Impalement (like she does after Zant fight)

Wolf Link seems a bit large lengthwise. I don’t think he’d be as easy to control as Donkey Kong is.

awesome ivan

Guest
what if link could transform into wolf link like zelda and shiek. also, about the stage, can you attack the big guy and make him turn around or something?
 
S

Sneaky

Guest
I think the sun is moving a bit. It’s hard to notice though.

I think that Wolf Link would make a good stand alone or transformaton character but like Sneaky says he might be too lengthy.
 
F

Falcofucker

Guest
Why would they make link transform. They would never take a main character like that and change him so dramaticly. you all need to stop wishing and look at reality

CJ

Guest
Yeah your right. II hope they just add Wolf Link as a character, preferably standalone

The Bridge of Eldin is pretty darned long, I wouldn’t be surprised if the screen pulls back for quite a bit when you back up.

Guest
it looks like it is very long but the middle splits so you have to fight on the sides for a bit
