Doubt it.

Anyways, I see that you can use them like action figures, and make your own scenes.

"LIEK OMG THE CDS ARE ATTACKING!!! LINK! SAVE US!!! *Link moves in* ♫Link! He come to town! He come to break, those stupid CDs!♫ *CDs kill Link* >:O WE'RE DOOMED!!! RUN!!!"



Yeah, I can think of definite possibilities with this thing.

If they are indeed poseable, just wait for the pornographic screenshots to come pouring in. *is reminded of Phantasy Star Online's snapshot feature*

Yeah. I'm counting the number of confirmed characters and doing some math to figure out how many characters are likely to be in Brawl. So far:

1) Confirmed characters on site + the 4 original unlockables = 24 characters total.
2) Confirmed new characters on site + all characters from Melee = 33 characters total. <-
3) All characters from Melee + guessed number of new additions (15 is the number I'm thinking of, since there were 13 new characters in Melee) = 40 characters total. <-

I tried to be as realistic as possible with the math. First equation was the confirmed characters + SSB's four hidden characters. Second equation was in case all 25 characters from Melee return (and seeing the Ice Climbers, that scenario is possible). The last equation was me guessing how many new characters might appear in Brawl, using the number of new characters that Melee got (4 new default characters + 9 of the 11 unlockables (Jigglypuff and Luigi were not new) = 13). So I took 15, since it was the closest number that was divisible by 5 (although I could've chosen 16, since their are 4 columns in Brawl's website).

Including all the characters from melee is a bit overly optimistic, considering they've already stated "no clones."

I know it's possible they'll have remade some previously clone-like characters into non-clones, but given the huge number of characters ALREADY in Brawl, I think it'll be a rare sight. Take a look at the character list: not one remade clone has been announced so far. Not even Luigi! (We know he'll be in the game since he was in Smash 64, but the amount of similarity he has to Mario is still a mystery)

Yeah, weak Final Smash, indeed. I don't see the coolness in it.

[Mitchfork]

Eh. This is kinda like Pit's. Kinda cool... but not astounding.

[Octorockoncrack]

somebody told me they might put Ridley in the game, highly doubtable, but i would love to see it because he is my favorite game character of all time

[The Satellite]

Wouldn't happen. Maybe as an Assist Trophy, or possibly a boss character... maybe an Easter Egg... but not a playable character.

[Bowser Blanchette]

Mr. Resetti is here! Boy is he ever furious than ever!

[Animus01]

ROFL

I know he does nothing but lecture, but boy (does the camera focus on him, too?)! He seems like a "Look! A distraction!" type assist trophy.

Also:

Kirby...
Pikachu...
You'd be runnin' home to Mama!

[andrewmcd1]

Yeah, It looks like the screen zooms in on him when he's activated, so it's sort of like one of togipi's moves in SSBM. The one that makes it go dark so you can't see, although This one lets you see Partially.

[The Satellite]

K. A distraction trophy. Nice...

[Mr. Z]

I was hoping he'd pull out a legendary or something, like Mewtwo (wait, he's already playable) or Pikachu (>.>). But I guess this Final Smash is pretty neat. I like the comments at the bottom of the screen. It's super effective!

[Animus01]

I don't think I want to be on the wrong side of this Final Smash.

Solar Beam + Hydro Pump + Fire Blast = arse-kicking pwnage.

I'm imagining the damage meter goes through the roof when getting bombarded by an attack like this.

It's super effective!

[andrewmcd1]

Finally, We have a half-decent Final smash (in my opinion).

Before this, I didn't really think that pokemon trainer was a particualrly good character, but I think differently now. I think they look like quite a good character. Or a good SET of Characters

A buddy of mine has an interesting discussion for online tournaments going on...

I haven't found any sites or forums that have started to talk about how tournies are gonna take place, yet. However, I feel RH has got the right ideas.

My only intent was to get people talking about how we'd like to organize our play. I think that variety of battle conditions is something important. We don't want to alienate people with "Tourny" rule, nor do we want to offend Tourny players. Therefore, I love RH idea to switch up how the game is played with every tourny.

"There are lots of questions to be answered..
Can you switch characters halfway through the tourney because DK isnt very good against so and so?...
What happens if there is a dispute?
What Mode will we play?.. items or none?
What if the same person wins every week?
What about tourneys for less skilled players?
Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3?
Will some characters be banned? (like fox and falco were in meele)"

It is the duty of all players to fight under the code of honor. We should have a code of honor or something drafted, in which players agree to follow these rules for the good of all. It's more of a psychological kind of thing than anything else.

I feel that anybody who disconnects should be given 1 chance. After that, it is a loss, unless the other fighter agrees to a re-match.

A commitee of advanced players should be set up. The duties of these players would be to anaylze the metagame. We would read their reports, and if a character would be banned or anything, we hear their opinion on the matter and have a vote take place.
Before the first tourny, the small commitee would discuss in their own private forum the issues of the metagame and the questions of fairness in multiplayer.

These issues would include:
1. Classifying Character Tiers
2. Recommendations for Character Banishment (aka Fox & Falco in Melee)
3. The use of items; can we play fairly with some items? All? None?
4. Ranking the various stages in order of fairest to least fairest.
5. Determining how each individual Tournament will play (adding variety so that not all tourney's are based on "classic Tourney" rule. Example: A "chaos" Tournement, in which only chaotic stages are used and chaos inducing items are set high.

So... should we start a separate thread for tournament stuff? I'm going try hard as hell to try to get an internet connection, a Wii and SSBB; but I can at least play against a few of my buddies even if I can't get a connection.

[Animus01]

I say absolutely, NekoArc. Heck, we should have tourneys posted on the calendar, too. I don't like the idea of banning certain characters, though (especially since one of those, I like). This seems like we need an entirely new thread for setting up the rules, though, so everyone agrees.

[The Satellite]

Maybe the Final Smash is all the Pokemon coming out and shooting a super beam, or something.

Or maybe the Trainer throws pokeballs, captures the other fighters, bangs them around, and then casts them back out.

I was serious about the first one.

I'm, like, psychic or something.
