***What's going on with Smashbros.com?***

[Samochan]

Hmm, if pit can really fly... hellloooo fly canceling his aerial moves. ^_^ Much like peach does her float cancel. Jump (or just up B ) once, up B on ground level, move control stick forward/back really fast, c-stick an aerial of choice and fast fall. ^_^ Or Pit could do superjuggles if you can control his aerial movement freely, kinda like marth, but who just aquired wings, lol. Disjointed hitboxes ftw. Unless of course, Pit is unable to do any attacks while flying, which would be a pity, but I guess otherwise he'd be pretty broken character. >.>

If Pit is semifast character and the animation of the B move is fast as well, the arrows are gonna have much use when you play spammy. Also depending how fast they travel when uncharged, Pit could very well do semi-shl type of approaches, only with the added bonus of hitting above him. And since they'll propably have a very nice arch, good for edgeguarding purposes. The question is, how strongly they can arch? ;o Kinda like Y.link's bomerang or more like Ness' PK thunder. If it's the latter, that's some serious edgeguard option right there if one is fast and precise enough to use it. And of course people will learn to use it that way if it's possible. ^_^ Samus and Link will cry when you destroy their grappling options. ^_^ And depending how fast he can swap to sword mode, he could propably edgeguard with his sword nicely too.

The arrows being slower on the animation side when you can actually shoot them would of course balance them, not to mention if the arrows were needed to be charged a little before they actually fly anywhere.

 

[Devastlian]

I really doubt there will be a whole long scene of Pit forming his bow, summoning the arrow, and doing all the other stuff to make him have a 10 second lag start-up for an attack.

There won't be. All of that can be done in less than a second.

 

[GenG]

We can't possibly know if Pit can make use of SHL of the bow; It seems to be a Din's Fire kind of attack with fixed lag.

By the way, the Wings of Icarus are straight from Kid Icarus too: These could be bought in shops and saved you from pits by giving you a little fly.

 

[smash~bomber]

"He's falling! Danger! ...But don't worry."

aahhh sakurai, you comic genius. 'danger' ...rofl!

lol, sorry, forgive me but, i like, totally dont get it, what's so funny there? TELL ME!!!

 

[Fawriel]

I have no idea what's so funny, but the fact that those two find it funny makes it absolutely hilarious.
It's subtle humor, I guess. Like when a reader wrote fanmail to the author of One Piece asking "What's it feel like to be hit by the Finger Pistol?" and he answers "You die." I laughed so hard.


Well, I sure hope the Bow takes a while to load, because otherwise it seems pretty broken.

 

[keko_keko]

I'm kinda confused as to the trajectory thing, is it curving upwards (if so that's a pretty sharp bend) or bending back for a sorta boomerang action. Also i think the up-b is going to be like a dash in any direction of choice. He loses some feathers on the pic, which seems to suggest fast movement. Maybe it's something like fox's up-b minus the fire plus weird bubbly glowing effect.

 

[smash~bomber]

allright! tomorrows update:
"hello people! Today we will be announcing that sonic will NOT be in brawl !:D"

me: NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T~T

ahahaha, tomorrow's update will be something to look forward to.~

 

[h1roshi]

well, doesnt it show pit flying in th trailers? i highly doubt that pit will be able to attack while flying because the flying thing is his up+b move. you cant do another move in the middle of your up+b. i assume you press up b and he starts whooshing up with the flaps of his wings. and you could probably do it in whatever direction you want. pit does look to be pretty broken though...peace

p.s. yay for new brawl info to come out on a weekEND!!...

its a weekday in japan

 

[Chepe]

Pit's Up B will not allow Pit to do anything other than fly mind everyone. B moves do not allow the use of A moves, so the move will VERY LIKELY just be used for getting back on the stage...

 

[Celsco]

Mmm this makes me wonder, the update May 28 Mon. 2007 says

"Pit: Special Moves" But since they only show the b-up and b-move where have the old reliable b-front and b-down-move gone 2? Did Sakurai banished those?

ps: i really don't hope so

Why would he?

I love Pit even more.His edge game looks broken+Multiple Jumps+Multiple Hit attacks.


A very proud Pit main here.

 

[Zinfandel]

Pit: Special Moves is a category that doesn't really imply finality. I expect that

- a) due to Sakurai planning to get everything already sort-of covered over with before July 11th he has to divvy up sections like special moves into two in order to get a congruent schedule or

- b) the horizontal-B or down-B moves are key to Pit's particular playstyle (split the bow or something equally strategically relevant) and therefore they are kept secret a little longer.

 

[smash~bomber]

yes, exactly what i thought.

and yes phoenix, i am very MAIN happy to MAIN see that MAIN pit will MAIN be MAIN my MAIN main :D

 

[Legolastom]

Yhea away from all this main business if there are gonna be about 50 characters in brawl and they are gonna have at least 2 special moves pages for them and 1 normal page for them that means that there will be like 150 days worth of info on just these characters and not to mention the items and stages as well as game modes so he should have more than enough to update every weekday until brawls release!

That is offcourse very smart of Sakurai because he has so much 2 reveal, think about all the items, all chars, movesets, maps/levels, music, modes and offcourse the "how to play" tab.

But then again very annoying, this could extend the release till 2010 or something like that. I now it won't be that long, but just as a matter of speaking. Besides some updates he will "reveal" will already be familiar to us, think about link and mario and all the other "veteran and melee fighters." And offcourse all the old items. He could though only show the "new" items what is actually better for us.

 

[Legolastom]

he could just reveal more stuff during E3 and nearing release

He's prbably just gonna reveal B and Up B moves (which is similar to what Nintendo Power did for Melee).

 

[Legolastom]

No i think he is gonna release his down and l/r moves as well for each character but who knows i might be wrong.
And if he includes old levels and items (which he will) do you think that he is going to upgrade them in any way?

sakurai is going to update the stages (we already now that through battlefield) but i think he'll keep all the old items. maybe take out a few but i dont think so. i mean, its brawl. he's going to have eveything in this game.

 

[Legolastom]

O yhea... that went with a more virtual theme with the last one do you think they will go more natural this time? like as you can see between ssbm battlefield and ssbb battlefield.

 

[Kelexo]

I very willing to bet he will reveal Down/Side B moves eventually, if not next, he's just seperating this as much as possible. He certainly has us hooked.

 

[The Director]

Nice update...

'B moves! B moves only!'

Man, if this is how they're going to unveil everything, we might be sitting here until judgement day.

Love the updates but they're crawling slower than molases!!

But when E-3 arrives, it's gonna be a flash flood.

 

[Creo]

Exactly... They just have to hold us over until E3 so B attacks are fine for now.

 

[Volrec]

IF the arrows Pit has have no lag, Pit is the next Falco

 

[Wrath`]

how long till e3 again?

 

[Creo]

July 11th-13th.

 

[Zeeb]

Pit's looking pretty badas$ with this update. A question though:
Do you think you change the trajectory of the arrow before its shot (this makes sense to me /w that screenshot of fox jumping down at Pit), or you can control it after i.e. pk thunder and the 2nd screen posted of Pit today. Or better yet both?

 

[Sariku]

One cool thing I noticed, which many of you probably have too, if you look at Pit in the screen shots for his profile, you can see the background reflecting on him. Like where its all red in the background, theres red gleeming off his clothes. Where is all sunny, it makes Pit hard to see.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Anyone else have trouble at first FINDING the update? Maybe it's just 'cause I woke up so late, but to see it you actually have to go to Pit's profile, and scroll down. It's not on the home page anymore, if it ever was.

 

[Moon Monkey]

LOl! "we might be sitting here until judgement day."

I was kinda expecting at least more than one update i mean they did have 2 days

 

[Zinfandel]

50? "Surely you jest, madam?"

Yhea away from all this main business if there are gonna be about 50 characters in brawl and they are gonna have at least 2 special moves pages for them and 1 normal page for them that means that there will be like 150 days worth of info on just these characters and not to mention the items and stages as well as game modes so he should have more than enough to update every weekday until brawls release!

50 characters? Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. AFAIK Brawl will have had roughly the same dev time as Melee.

Melee added 14 (w/ Shiek) new characters to the roster of Bros. (from 12 to 26), but bear in mind that five of these were clones (either Roy or Marth counts as a clone with modded parameters). I do not know how much time on average it takes to create a clone character compared to a wholly new one, but let's say it takes a fourth of the time, minimum. The result is that Melee added 10 characters or more worth of development...

While it can be presumed that Brawl's dev team is bigger than Melee's and can get more done in the same amount of time, it seems absolutely insurmountable for them to add a whopping 24 characters, especially if not one of them will be a clone.

Sure, the five unveiled so far are not clones, but it would make sense to bring out the original, beloved, obviously non-cloned characters out first. I can see 14-17 wholly new characters and 7-10 clones or a similar ratio if a huge (circa 50) gallery of Smash Siblings will be on offer...

But 24 newfangled babies? You'd need a team akin to the Shenmue heroes and heroines...

 

[lanky_gunner]

it did kinda suck that we had only 2 of the 4 special moves for pit. i mean a whole weekend for that!? so i guess tomorrow we learn the other 2, right?

 

[OmegaXXII]

these updates are at least better than nothing, i think they do the same for some of the other newcomers

 

[Super Smash Master]

He is releasing info in a weird order. I'd think he's unveil all the known characters and then do all their moves.

 

[Zinfandel]

More Pit would be a bit repetitive, methinks. A new mode or stage, on the other hand...

5 imaginary bucks on a fact-thin "exposé" of the Halberd stage.

 

[GenG]

They'll teasing us: We all thought that they'll add a game mode the friday, but they added Pit. For today I was expecting a stage (Halberd or Angel Land), but they pulled another one; Special Moves.

Maybe they'll post all 4 special moves for old characters since we know about them already, while stretching a bit the new ones. And don't forget about the Super Smash moves, 4 days in total to know "everything" about a new character.

Well i know that there aint gonna be 50 i was exaggerating a bit there but i was hoping that there is at least about 35 characters in this one and still with that thats a little less than 105 days worth of info and anyway they are working much harder on this arnt they and this is going to be in development longer than melee isnt it?

 

[OmegaXXII]

Well they sure fooled me because i though they would have had a game mode by now or at least a different character, as far as characters go, I don't think we'll see 50 but we can expect around 32-44 characters but it is a possibility of being close to 50 in that it is probably Sakurai's last smash and may want to include as many as he wants which would be a really good thing imo.
