Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Spoiler Discussion Thread

were not talking about it being right or wrong for children to play the game were talking about them buying it there is alot worse games out there that children play. and for children pokemon IS the only thing nintendo do. what do you expect, children to play party games for the on there wii they should be able to experience brawls glory. hell if i had a child i'd buy it for them it not THAT bad. if nintendo were to reach estimates of 15 million then the brawl fanbase is not big enough (it would be safe to say that the fanbase would have to be doubled)

Sorry iangennery, SL is right. SSBB is not for kids but it will draw kids Becauce alot of kids like Pokemon but nintendo is not trying to sell to them, thier selling to the fan base. If they were targeting for kids they would have spent more time making it for kids and less time trying to make the fan base crazy about the game.

im not saying brawl is a kids game. there is something there for EVERYONE

Yeah. It will sell to kids, but kids will not make Brawl reach 15 million. Pok�mon is not the main aspect of the game, Nintendo is, as as far as games go, Mario, Link and Sonic are now more iconic than Pok�mon.

The fact of the matter is, as far as Nintendo are concerned, children will not be buying Brawl, at all. Age ratings make a huge difference. We all know children WILL get Brawl, but they will not all rush to buy a fighting game full of characters they don't know rather than buy Wii Play or Ben 10. Nintendo are not expecting children to buy the game, they are expecting the target audience to buy it, so they do not focus on any particular series. They focus on NINTENDO.

If it focused on Pok�mon, chances are the sales would actually drop, because it is likely to put off many gamers. You'd be surprised. There are possibly as many Pok�mon haters out there as there are Pok�mon fans.

im not sayin kids alone will help brawl reach 15 (u keep twisting my words) im sayin they will make a good percentage of it ( and so will the fans but they won't reach it on their own) it showed more pokemon in that trailer than anyone else so their is an audience there nintendo are just trying to cover their bases thats all im saying

A change of subject.... more glithes!!!

Kirby's infinite jump
Using the side-B jump before hitting the ground, Kirby can get all of his jumps back. From the video below it looks like it can only be done over ground. Do take note that the nature of Kirby's side-B seems to limit its effectiveness.

Ice Climbers infinite chain grabs
Looking at the Ice Climbers they are able to do a series of chain grabbing. Although they were thought to be one of the worst characters in the game, this technique could prove everyone wrong.

Snake's bomb recovery
Watch as Snake recover his health dramatically. This means one thing: he can be a tough character to deal with.

Falco's infinite laser
Falco's attack can be a real pain since it can carry you across the stage. If there's a wall, this attack can practically last until forever.

Proof of Lucario having changes in attack properties after damage
Here's video that shows how Lucario becomes stronger as he takes in more damage. This certainly makes him an odd character.

Peach's turnip dash
Peach can throw her turnips, bob-ombs, and other projectiles out of her roll. So far, it seems that she's that only one who can do this.

Dont really get em all but I'll see what you all think.

Don't twist your own words. You said:

kids are going to make up half market for brawl

Pok�mon are shown in the ad alongside other Nintendo characters, because it's a Nintendo game. The fans won't reach it on their own, but there aren't just 2 categories, fans and kids. Kids are not interested in a fighting game made up of characters they don't know. Smash Bros appeals to fans, average Wii users and hardcore gamers. If anything, kids will be a smaller percentage than you may think.

When I say kids, I mean 3-10. Children in those ages will not be ecstatic about Brawl or have their parents buy the game for them. And if parents buy a game for their child that is above the child's age, then that's up to them.

Hehe, I got my Brawl pre-ordered at Best Buy baby!!

Woooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell yes!!!!!!!! 19 days man!!!

iangennery - Listen to SL. You're making little sense.

Since when was 15 million not enough sales for a game?

Didn't notice that post of techniques before. I'll have to check out the videos when I get home (can't use YouTube at college)

But as far as I've heard, Ice Climbers' chain grabbing is worse in Brawl, since they were the chain grabbing masters in Melee.

There is a video of Fox's Infinite Wallshine somewhere, so I'll find that too after college.

The green hill zone is awsome!!!!!! And sonic doen't look to hard to unlock.... look at the spoile below for all unlockables...
or be a loser and don't read it

Going back up to my Tec post...

Falco's lasar is cheap... If he can do that to every character not just boswer I will be mad.

Kirby's jump is cheap too, but he could basiclly came back from anything anyway.

I dont think snakes recovery will help him much. I mean If he has alot of damage and is flying off the map chanches are that exploision would kill him anyway.

Lucario is going to be a tough nut to crack!:8)

Peaches throw is a nice plus for her...

i found a video of the Japanese Brawl start up theme thingamabob... yea here it is (if it works...)

Good old VG Cats.

68 and 86 are my faves.

is #74 supposed to be Giratina?

All the names are fortunately below it

ONM have just put some brand new screens on their site. The screens included some of the secret characters and stages, they're clear quality too.

Shadow Assist Trophy revealed as well.

New Brawl Screens

Enjoy!

Heh, I've known about the Shadow Assist Trophy for a while.

Definitely the WORST Assist Trophy in the game, especially when there are no other Sonic Assist Trophies. That's right, no Tails. The only Sonic AT is.... SHADOW.
