Super Smash   more...Bros Brawl Snake vs Mario


The 3D fighter, developed by Nintendo, Sora and Game Arts, is always at the tip-top of GameStats' most wanted list and these days it's also the most popular game on IGN thanks to readers like you. It's not difficult to understand why, either -- after all, the anticipated Wii brawler represents the culmination of Nintendo's beloved franchise; more characters, stages and options than ever before, not to mention enhanced graphics and addictive online-compatible multiplayer modes to boot. So now that we've vacationed 24 hours with the title, can we definitely say that the final experience is worth the wait? You better believe it. Obviously, we'll be slamming the site with Brawl related content over the next several weeks. Today, though, we're kicking off with our initial impressions of the fighting experience, as well some thoughts on our favorite characters thus far.

Brawl begins with a cinematic opening which introduces many of the trademark characters in the game. The quality of the render is pristine and the orchestrated music that accompanies helps set up the mood of the experience. Once you click over to the main menu, you are given several choices, including Group, Solo, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Vault, Options and Data. Interestingly, the interface is completely incompatible with the Wii remote's infrared pointer; rather, if you choose to play Brawl with the peripheral, you hold it classic style and use the D-Pad to navigate. (Amazingly, you can't even shoot at the end credits using infrared, which is unfortunate.) The different menu selectables aren't hard to follow, but we'll elaborate all the same. Group is designed for local multiplayer matches. Pick your characters, choose a stadium and have at it. Solo represents the single-player classic or adventure modes. In vault, you will find collectable trophies and stickers, your photo album ,the challenge board, instant replays you've saved, masterpieces (which houses classic Nintendo games), chronicle (a list of past and present Nintendo titles) and, of course the stage builder.

Very likely, the majority of your time with Nintendo's new fighter will be spent in the Group Brawl mode, which houses the four-player compatible local multiplayer mode. Here, you can choose from 30-plus characters, including familiar mascots like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Samus, but also the likes of Lucas, Captain Olimar and the Pikmin, Pit from Kid Icarus, Zelda / Sheik, Ike, the Pokemon Trainer, Captain Falcon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Toon Link, Marth and Solid Snake. Unique move sets have been created for the majority of these characters so that, for example, Pikachu will execute a variety of different maneuvers from Captain Meta Knight, and so forth. If you've played any Smash Bros. title before, you already know all of this, we know, but supposing you're new to the franchise, Brawl is, like its predecessors, a seemingly simple fighter with a lot of hidden depth. While you have only a handful of different attacks (including variations) per character, you can do quite a lot with each character's skills and great timing is more important than in most other fighters on the market.

Several of us experimented with different control schemes. We tried everything from playing with the Wii remote to using the Wave Bird and the truth is that the Smash Bros. purists among us ultimately prefer sticking with a traditional controller despite the fact that with some practice you can become very effective with the Wii remote, too. The good news is that the title affords you the option to fully customize the layout of whichever controller you choose. However, there are some inherent sacrifices to choosing the Wii remote over, say, the classic co  less

brawl new game

This will probably only make sense to those who are into video games, especially Super Smash Bros. and Sonic. It's recommended that you see this first if you haven't yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpTlg-TSQRc

A few synch problems that I'm bugged by; if it bothers me too much, I'll pull the vid and reupload it later.

Another one of those "had-to-make-it" vids, though. It was just too tempting.

Oh, there's only one brief shot from a non-USA-aired episode, and it's minor, so....

Enjoy!

I don't own the stuff used in the vid; disclaimers within.  less

New Trailer for Super Smash Bros Brawl!!!!!!!

Kirby gone gangsta'. Fo rillz. I'm just playing SSBM, DEFINITELY NOT like a pro, although I do my best. S'been such a long time I haven't played with Kirby, too. And notice as one point, I didn't recover   more...at all? My jump buttons were stuck, and I tried pressing up, but at the last second. >_> Well, enjoy!  less

The Second trailer to Super Smash Bros. brawl

some of the characters that will be in my smash bros game

Yes it's a simple as it looks. Just a random display of dropping boxes, in which makes things very hectic. Items also pose as a challenge because they drop boxes and this also makes them harder to grab.   more...As you can see CPU's are not the best at it, it's better to play with 3 human opponents.

Crappy characters = heavy characters.
The best characters are the ones that can cling to walls and/or jump high.

Diddy is a complete asshole when used, his bananas drop the boxes.  less

Hatred "Fox" (Me) vs. Fox (lvl 9 CPU)
---------------------
Fox was fixated only on the battle. The intensity of the match was so extreme, he hadn't realized Wolf lost.

Wolf: "Why can't I   more...win... I used my full strength... why?!"

Hatred picked up Wolf by his throat, and began to squeeze. Wolf screamed in agony, and Hatred released his grip.

Hatred: "Because I am all that is evil. You can't hope to destroy me."

Wolf struggled, but to no avail.

Hatred: "Would you like me to make a deal? If you and Fox replace Darkness and Revenge, I'll spare your world."

Fox: "Wolf, no! He's just going to corrupt us, like he did to the others!"

Hatred shot a glare towards Fox, and dropped Wolf. In a flash, he tackled Fox. Wolf was motionless on the ground.

Hatred: "I promise I won't, Fox."
Fox: "I'll never trust you!"

Hatred grinned and elbowed Fox into a wall.

Hatred: "So be it. You could've lived. Now it looks like you're going to die in vain, just like all the others!"
Fox: "Wrong! I'll be the one to avenge the others! That includes Wolf!"

It took me a while to find a pairing I could deal with, that being with Zelda. Super smash bros melee was the answer, Prince Marth of Fire Emblem and the Princess herself. It would seem the two have chemistry.   more...I do different, and this is one for the books. Please be nice in your comments, thank you.  less

Fox "Hatred" (Me) vs. Wolf (lvl 9 CPU)
-------------
After a battle that seemed to last for hours, Darkness fell, and Hatred stepped over him.

Hatred: "No way was I gonna let a puppy beat   more...me."

He stomped on Darkness's chest, causing him to scream.

Wolf: "Why are you two fighting?"
Darkness: "I'm trying to avenge our family, brother... please... help me..."
Wolf: "What are you talking about? I have no brother!"
Darkness: "You saw those skeletons, didn't you? Those were our parents! Hatred killed them!"
Wolf: "My... parents? No way... no way!"
Darkness: "It's true, Wolf... please, believe me! Defeat Hatred! Avenge our family, your friends, and everyone else!"

Hatred stomped on Darkness again. This time, there was a sound, like branches falling off of a tree. Darkness's eyes closed slowly.

Hatred: "Annoying kid..."

Wolf didn't know why, but he ran towards Hatred, fist raised. Hatred, however, was faster, and landed a solid blow in Wolf's stomach.

Hatred: "He was telling the truth, you know. How about I tell you everything. I don't care if you believe me or not."

Fox wanted to do something, but he felt that might put Wolf's life in danger, so he stay put.

Hatred: "Darkness was your brother, Wolf. Your older brother. One day, I felt I needed some... allies to help me defeat anything in my path. While you watched in horror, I killed your parents and took your brother. He obeyed me out of fear... that is, until today."
Wolf: "I don't remember any of this..."
Hatred: "Of course, you were an infant. Revenge was a dangerous criminal, who I recruited as well. The whole "dark side of you" idea was to hide the truth. The truth is that I am the Darkness of everything in this world! I only made Darkness seem like the leader so you would go after him, instead of me."

Wolf didn't know what to say. He tried to think of everything Hatred said, until Tabuu spoke in his mind.

Tabuu: "Wolf, I sense it. He tells the truth. There is only one thing left to do. Use my power, and avenge your family and friends!"

Wolf grabbed Hatred and threw him across the ruins. He slammed through many walls, until he made a dent in a stone wall.

Hatred: "That was good, better than your brother, of course."

Wolf dashed towards Hatred with amazing speed, and a battle started. Fox couldn't see what was happening, but he had seen one thing.

Perhaps for the first time in his life, Wolf O'Donnell shed a tear.

Falco (Me) vs. Revenge "Falco" (lvl 9 CPU)
Very old, don't judge skill on this.
-------------------------------------
Revenge finally appeared to have taken some damage, but Ike had taken far more.   more...There were cuts and bruises everywhere on him.

Revenge: "Ah, not bad. Looks like you're done, though."

Flames started to dance around Ike's sword. A tear fell from his eye. He looked back at his friends.

Ike: "Everyone, thank you for everything. I think I can beat him, but it'll cost my life."
Fox: "Wait, Ike! Don't do this! We need you! There's still two guys left!"

Ike gave a small grin to Fox, with his eyes closed, tears still falling.

Ike: "You three will do just fine without me and Marth. Don't worry!"

Ike's sword was now consumed in flames. the blade was hardly noticable. He ran towards Revenge, and swung his sword. Revenge tried to block it, but the attack was too much.

Ike: "Great... Aether!!!"

Revenge took on a barrage of flaming slashes, and was then knocked down onto the ground, causing a small explosion. Ike was motionless on the ground.

Fox: "Ike... he gave his life to let us continue."

Just then, Revenge grunted. He struggled to get up. Burns were all over him. Despite this, he smiled at the three remaining warriors.

Revenge: "A noble effort... but I can't be beaten that easily! Though now I can't go to 100%..."

Falco stepped forward.

Falco: "I've had enough of this. Maybe the only way you can die, is if I do."
Revenge: "That's what you think. No, I'm just that strong."
Falco: "Heh, fine! Looks like you're dead meat, then!"

Falco turned his head to Fox and Wolf.

Falco: "I'll take this guy down. You guys go and get those other two."
Fox: "No, I can't lose you like everyone else!"

Just then, Wolf grabbed Fox.

Wolf: "Fox, Marth and Ike sacrificed their lives so we get this chance. Now, Falco is too. Come on, let's go!"

Fox nodded, and the two went on ahead of Revenge and Falco.

Revenge: "That guy's last attack wasn't bad. It actually hurt a bit. You have anything like that? I doubt it."
Falco: "Wait and see, punk."  less

Revenge "Falco" (Me) vs. Ike (lvl 9 CPU)
------------------------------
Marth became so tired he had to gasp for breath. He had only landed a few good hits on Revenge.

Fox: "Marth! Let us   more...help!"
Marth: "N-no... that wouldn't be honorable."
Falco: "Who cares? You're gonna die!"
Marth: "I'd rather die with honor than win unfairly..."
Fox: "Marth..."
Marth: "If I do not live, I want you to all know you have been the best allies I've ever had, and if I fall, I want you to continue what I've started."

Marth rushed towards Revenge, and swung his sword. Revenge caught it, and took his laser out. He pointed it at Marth's stomach. In a flash of light, Marth collapsed.

Ike ran over to Marth, and Revenge let him.

Ike: "Marth?"

He put his head near Marth's chest. When he lifted it, he punched the ground.

Ike: "Why?! Why?!"

A tear dropped from Ike's eye. Wolf, however, seemed more shocked than sad or angry.

Wolf: "Wait, he should have become a trophy!"
Revenge: "You never noticed? The so called King of Evil died too."
Wolf: "But how?"
Revenge: "Hatred, Darkness, and I can choose for our defeated opponents to die, or turn into a trophy."

Ike charged at Revenge with his sword, but Revenge dodged it as quick as the sword came.

Ike: "You killed Marth, and you think I'm going to stand for that?!"

Ike's blade started to glow brightly.

Ike: "I won't let you hurt any of my friends!"

Revenge made a sound that sounded like a yell, but it also sounded like a roar. The flames around him turned pitch black, and grew in size.

Revenge: "Looks like you're not gonna hold back! Heh, I will though, a little. You're seeing 90%"

Ike wasn't fazed at all. He turned to the others.

Ike: "Don't help me. I want to avenge Marth myself."

Revenge "Falco" (Me) vs. Marth (lvl 9 CPU)
--------------------------------------
Galleom collapsed after a rather short clash, but Ike, being the first to attack, was tired already.

Ike: "Is   more...that it? It was just a trap?"

A voice was heard. The source was unknown, but it was loud and clear: The voice of Hatred.

Hatred: "You beat Galleom, huh? I knew Tabuu's creations were trash. Huh, well, you'll soon meet your doom through this door."

A door opened up from behind Galleom. It was dark, and nothing could be seen from where Wolf and the others stood.

Ike: "I guess not..."

The five went through the door, watching their step, making sure not to fall into any traps. After a while, lights came on. A familiar figure stood before them.

Revenge: "You know, I'm sort of glad you guys beat that thing. I wanted to kill you myself."
Wolf: "Falco's dark side... Revenge."
Falco: "Wait, what?"
Revenge: "You forgot better, faster, and more powerful side. But that's beside the point."

Revenge scanned the heroes, and pointed at Ike.

Revenge: "I got a bone to pick with you."

Marth stepped forward.

Marth: "You will do no such thing. He needs time to regain his health. You will fight me first."

Revenge grinned, and stepped forward.

Wolf: "Marth, be careful. I can't explain it, but it seems he's hiding something."

Revenge gave a quick glare to Wolf, and chuckled.

Revenge: "You're right, Wolf. Unfortunately, Darkness said we could only use 30% of our true strength... until now."
Wolf: "W-What? You three were only using 30%?! No way... Darkness too?"
Revenge: "I guess so, never did ask."
Wolf: "No way... no way!"
Revenge: "Heh... now that you face the truth, you look like you've seen a ghost."

Marth drew his sword, and Revenge heard it.

Marth: "30% or not, you will fall this very day."
Revenge: "Looks like you're asking for it. Fine, I'll give you a taste."

Revenge grunted, as if in pain, and flames danced around him.

Revenge: "Here's 50% for you!"
