Some new Brawl impressions (minor spoilers)

[TheKoopaBros.]

I found this cool post on gamefaqs with some new interesting impressions including gameplay and mechanics. Enjoy:

No, not two copies of Brawl. Case and instruction manual. It's called sayonara party in the link because I took that picture the same day as my farewell party here in school (today).

Anyway, I hope that proves I got it, because that's all I'm gonna provide. If you don't believe me, I'll lol at you and you can be on your way.

As a fellow Smasher, I took notes of new things in the game as I played. No videos, but heres all the new stuff I found. Not sure if its still new or not, but it's all true.

New ATs I saw are Kat and Ana, who criss cross eachother around the screen hitting people. I also saw Tingle, who does a dance and then makes the screen zoom in on the person who summoned him.

New items include the Deku nut which stuns people (like a shield break), and the sun thing from Super Mario world. It's called Basaran in Japanese apparently? You throw it, and then it circles the stage hitting people getting in its way.

New Pokemon are Sneasel (At least I think it was him) who dashes left and right, and this... Green blob thing? I don't know the name of it, but if you get near it it swallows you and bites a couple times.

Level 9s are better in this game. Nothing like in that video I posted in the demo. They short hop, ledge guard, ledge hog, etc. I was SHFF'd by Peach's nair a couple times.

Wario waft fully charges is an AMAZING recovery move. It propels you more than Sonics spring, I think.

Fox isn't as bad as I thought. The Landmaster is pretty good as a final smash. GOOD THING WE GOT 3 OF THEM RITE?

Lucas's uncharged upsmash did 21%. Uncharged. It's also not THAT slow. The lag is noticeable but bearable.

Claus is an alt costume of Lucas! Which basically means to me that Lucas is an alt costume of Claus, since I'll be using the Claus costume all the time now. In fact, from now on, I shall refer to Lucas as "Claus."

message detail    Claus's back air is an effective spike. It works really well and is sexy to pull off.

GCN controller is soooo nice. Mmmmm, I love it.

Wiimote + Nunchuck is not bad, actually. Not as good as GCN, but not bad.

Wiimote still sucks, basically.

Sheik's and Ice Climber's dair sends them downward, like Zamus's and Sonic's (albeit not as fast).

Party ball has multiple sounds (the old sound and new ones)

On Wiimote controller options, when you select your character, you hear them say something in the Wii remote's internal speaker.

Olimar is MUCH fun to play as. Open to any questions about him if you have them.

Claus's meteors do 14% each and have swell knockback.

You can now use the CStick in training! Thank god, no more camera zooming errors.

Kirby, after sucking Olimar, plucks one pikmin and then throws it. It dies right after. Kinda lame.

You CAN NOT create a box of death in Stage creator. They just put the characters on top of it. Theres a couple ways to work around it, like creating a tunnel to it with platforms and whatnot.

Bomb jumping with Samus is more difficult than Melee because you have to focus more on keeping her aligned with the bombs.

Kirby heals from sucking in healing items. Kirby gets hurt sucking in bombs. Kirby gets flames sucking in Curry (not a fireflower, though). Kirby swallows anything else right after sucking it up, INCLUDING SANDBAG :(

Kirby has a ponytail when he sucks up ZSS

When Nana is dead, Popo jumps when he uses the Final smash. No high five, in other words.

When you beat classic and they show the trophy of your character falling from the sky, the music is a music box version of Brawl's theme.

Marth's FS is amazing. As long as you're on the same plane as the opponent, it WILL connect. At least for the length of Smashville. It's one mega swipe, and it pretty much kills the opponent. Funny thing to note: when you kill them, The Fire Emblem HP meter shows up and it depletes to zero.

Marth's Side-B can be used as a recovery only once. Also, if you double jump, Side-B doesn't work as a recovery.

The Reverse Up B move that Marth has (Ken uses it often) does NOT work. You can do it, but it has no extra power.

The tipper is still A-OK though, so have fun, Marth mains.

More info to come as I play more tomorrow! Any questions? I'll be glad to answer.

how bout a pic of kirby eating rob

[Zanryu]

I wanna see a video of Marth's FS, if possible. If not, a couple images would suffice. =X Unless of course I missed them somewhere, which I doubt.

EDIT: Just found one. Ignore me. =3

[DededeCloneChris]

This is more awesome:



















Kirby with Lucario's and Sonic's hat.

[Tahrann]

I dont believe you. (jk)

[Qsmash]

Also G&W ^B parachute lets you decend slowly, and his arieal down B move makes you decent a lot faster.

This isn't me. I just found this post of impressions. :P

Thanks for the G&W info Qsmashbro. :D

I saw it in a video I posted in Geno's thread. :)

You mean ^A and \/A?

[Lotos]

Green blob thing = Gulpin

I'd still like to see Kirby hat pics.

[Mutilator7]

I'm glad they let you use C stick in training, one of those little things that make a big difference.

I have a question about Olimar, which pikmin do you think is the best? Also, who is better, Marth or Ike?

[Zanryu]

I doubt he can answer the Marth/Ike question. It's all a matter of preference really, they both of pros and cons.

Ike's got the power to KO people with about five attacks, but he's slow. Marth's fast, but his attacks don't do as much damage.

Ike can't combo well, but by the time he gets off a combo, he'd have had time to kill someone two times over. Marth takes a fair bit of time to kill someone, even with a combo.

Ike's FS will kill easily, as will Marth's, unless there's something in the way.

Marth has good recovery, whereas Ike doesn't. But, Ike makes up for his lost lives due to bad recovery with his inhuman strength.

Thanks. I wanted pros and cons.

[Zanryu]

Alright. ^_^

There may be more, but going off of what I've seen so far, that's about all I can think of.

Something I doubt I'll see for a while: what are Marth's taunts? Did he keep his old "Mina, mitete kurre!"? =D
