Wow. He has an eye for possible additions. Some of his predictions are now reality.

As for Krystal, it would be great to see a staff-user in Brawl. But, Krystal's appearance in Star Fox Adventures was questionable. Maybe she'll either use her Assault suit or a new suit, entirely? (personal recommendation)

Yeah, I'm sure what I just said may get criticized, but that's where I assume that some of those who do have done the camera thing with Peach at least a few times. (I only know, because my sis kept teasing me like that whenever she plays as Peach. ._. )

[ElLibertador]

Lol, Iv'e done it ...jk. That guy seems to be good at guessing. I hope he's right on some of those.

[Zenith]

Well, see, that's not the main thing. Check "About this video". He has reasons behind some of his predictions...some of them from not too far back.

EDIT: Well, I guess we know what the next three updates are gonna be. And I guess whoever forgot to cover up that shot is gonna be on bottomless pit cleanup duty for the next few years...

Bah quit yer bellyache'n!

1. Zelda is FAR from useless compared to Sheik. She is MUCH stronger, has a kick arse reflect move, and a projectile you can aim mid-flight. Sheik's only advantage over Zelda is speed, and while that's a great advantage it certainly doesn't render Zelda as "useless". If you're a Sheik-only guy, then you just suck at utilising the Zelda-Sheik combo. It's a fact. I read it in a pamphlet.

2. In Smash Bros Samus fights with Link, despite being from totally different time periods. Does that make sense? Characters fight on the back of spaceships, in an environment devoid of oxygen. Does THAT make sense? Chewbacca is a wookie. Why would an eight foot wookie want to live with three foot Ewoks? IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! So why ***** about TP Zelda transforming into OOT Link? It's a fact. Look it up. I heard it on the intercom... at work...

1. I'm not a Sheik-only guy... I use Zelda as well as Sheik when I play her, but I don't really use either character in a serious match. Marth, Link, Peach, and Young Link come before Zelda/Sheik in my line of viable character choices. My complaints about Zelda are A. her jumping ability is almost as bad as Link's; B. her up-A is 8-directional rather than arcing, she falls almost straight down after she comes out of it, and it does not damage; and C. her projectile attack has a tiny hitbox, leaves her vulnerable until she releases it, has zero knockback, is extremely slow, and -- worst of all -- can't hit or damage anything until the moment it is released.

As for the people who play Zelda/Sheik really well, though: I have never, ever seen a good Zelda/Sheik player who switches to Zelda at all. Before you criticize that statement and insist that I haven't seen any good Melee players, let me note that I've watched some extremely skilled fighters at two different anime conventions every year since the game was released. If that isn't enough for you, then ask ShadowTiger; I'm sure he knows a fair bit about Zelda/Sheik players.


2. The Dojo already addressed my story-based objection so it's perfectly all right for me to commence the blatantly baseless whining make valid complaints!

Actually, I would have liked the two characters to be separate for gameplay reasons as well as story. For the most part, I think both Sheik and Zelda would be better developed if they each had an additional attack to replace down+B.

[Moonbread]

Zelda has her advantages, Sheik just seems easier to use. I've had my ass handed to me a few times by Zelda.

[Bowser Blanchette]

Today, Manaphy is here! It looks like its Heart Swap make you control your opponent. Like if someone plays as Bowser and someone else plays as Mario are hit by the Heart Swap, they will control their opponent's character for a brief period of time.

[Animus01]

That sounds like a nice twist in gameplay. It would feel weird attacking my own character, though. Now, if Jigglypuff got a Manaphy,...

[Zenith]

Man, I'm starting to wonder who the secret characters are gonna be...the ones they haven't said anything about yet (that they didn't accidentally leak).

[AgentLym]

man, if megaman is in this game, ... o my goodness! I can't wait either way

[Fox]

This is around the point where I stop looking at Brawl threads. Spoilers and leaks will be arriving shortly with the impending release of the game in Japan. So, it looks like I'll be out of Brawl info for a month. =(

[The Satellite]

New Pokemon, something about an interview... blah.

Moonwhisper, thanks for backing me up on that line that referenced Sheik as a male. I knew there was one, just forgot what it was. I'm playing through OoT again so I'd've found that soon, anyways. >.>

I see your point, Radien, but also, SSBM says that Zelda has the ability to change her hair, eye, and skin color, so that'd help in that factor.

And you're right, Sheik should've been a seperate character, since TP Zelda and OoT Zelda are two different people. BUT, one of the options for costumes is the way Zelda used to look, so there you go... or something.

[link3505]

I just want to know for sure if Isaac is in the game in any form (Aside from stickers/trophies). Usually I'd kill someone if they told me a spoiler like that, but with SSBB, I don't really care about spoilers. I mean, I'd rather not know the complete story behind Subspace Emissary, but secret characters are something I'd love to know beforehand. They make me want it even more, if they're decent enough

[Moonbread]

Well, TS, about the whole Zelda/Sheik thing. They usually just base the character from the most recent game they've been released in. For example. In SSB, Link used the boomerang for his B move. But he couldn't use the boomerang as an adult.

[The Satellite]

True, but the boomerang is too classic to leave out. Plus, they used a theme similar to ALttP's overworld for the Hyrule Castle level in SSB.

[Moonbread]

Yeah, you're right about the boomerang thing, but then again, I was just making an example.
