Smash Bros. Brawl (Now with spoilers!)

[bigtimecow]

i've read about how tourneyfags love it, but i seriously have no idea what that or "L-cancelling" i think its called is.
but i've heard that "L-cancelling" is in brawl?

i dont know, i dont care, RANDOM STAGE, ALL ITEMS, NEVER EVER FINAL DESTINATION BECAUSE IT IS BORING AND GAY

[Guitar Woman]

I love how they made Final Desitnation the stage with the most random events this time around :<

[bigtimecow]

Spoilers!

i've seen a video of luigi's final smash, lost the link, but yeah if anyone sees it please explain

Word on the street is that it's Luigi's Mansion-esque, Ie the colors invert when he's scared. I haven't seen it so I don't really know what's involved, I assume ghosts and / or vacuum.

My favorite thing to do in Melee is to pick Captain Falcon and start into a running jump, then tap the stick in the opposite direction you're moving and then hit B so he starts charging a Falcon Punch, so that when you land in front of someone you punch them in the dick.

[Pub Lover]

Not a SSBB spoil but related to MarioRPG's post.

Spoilers!

I didn't play Luigi's Mansion because I was assured that the gameplay would have had me cussing pretty bad (the person that told me this based my projected reaction on my cussing while playing Mario Sunshine). Was Luigi's mansion a good or bad game? PM, or Chatroom me.

[Neen]

Nintendo, why?

[MarioRPG]

Ugh violence censorship. I notice an Isle Delfino stage!
I think a Portal Turret would be nicer.

[MarioRPG]

Oh, and I successfully pre-ordered today! See ya'll online hopefully!

[bigtimecow]

i successfully pre-ordered it in november :-/

Spoilers!

from the video i've seen it didnt involve a vacuum, but the colors did invert and he does some sort of dance thing. it doesn't seem relevant to anything and is just fuck ass weird

[Chojin]

I really don't think them changing Snake's claymore to align with the feel of the rest of the game is violence censorship. I mean, it still blows up when you step on it, right?

[Schimid]

I think I read somewhere that people were upset that his claymores looked too realistic. I believe it as a group against the use of landmines, so that's their MO I guess?

I personally like it more, I like the idea that I'm burying intricately wrapped presents or a delicious cake. I wonder how many you can set, though? Just one? What if you're on a metal platform like in Final Destination, will it still go through?

[Neen]

If DK's Headbutt move from melee says anything, it's dirt will appear where need be.

The problem I have with changing the Claymore is that it is no longer MGS.

[Emu]

It's weird, EVERYTHING in that shot looks cartoonier to me, even the background.

[Dr. Boogie]

Yeah, what stage is it where the sky is half solid blue?

[MarioRPG]

I think that's the absense of clouds, boogie.

[Schimid]

So what taunts do you guys think you'll use when playing Brawl online?

I can't think of many besides

YOU MUST RECOVER
MAMA LUIGI?!?!?!
VETS 4 LYFE
JOIN ME, LINK
OR ELSE YOU WILL DIE

I also can't wait to use Bigglystuff.

If it's super cloudy on one side of Snake and completely cloudless on the other side, then it looks like they might be in for a nasty thunderstorm.

[MarioRPG]

I probably won't use them that often, unless I'm playing against someone I know...

Maybe some from punch out; "watch out for my bull charge!", "I'll make you punch-drunk!" etc

EDIT: Join the Nintendo Fun Club, Mac!, would be good too.

[Zomboid]

Schimid, I think you're looking forward to this a bit too much

Yeah, I really am. I have a close group of 10 or 11 friends that all play Melee and are all about or around the same level. Melee gets dull after so many years, though, so we're all bubbling with excitement.

A lot of Gamespots are having midnight launches with tournaments to accompany them, sometimes with the game or cash being a prize. We've decided that if they're a free-for-all with four people, we're all going to wreck whoever isn't one of us, then have a fair match. Mob rule!

[CaptainBubba]

My taunts will probably just be profanity laced nonsense.

4 weeks then spring break then this game omg.

[Guitar Woman]

SAKURAIIIIIIIII and *charges dbz-type attack* are both obligatory taunts that everyone should have

[Chojin]

Neen, MGS had no place in this game in the first place.

[Zomboid]

Agreed.

Schimid - When I went to eb games to pre-order mine, the clerk informed me that he'd be entering an MLG tourney for it. Am I the only one who's at average to above average skill at this game?
