Yo Frankie, Let's Bust This Guy In the Lobanza!

You can't say I don't spoil you. In the Everything page, I've now included all the events and co-op events. I've always got a complete (to my knowledge, so don't question it) list of every trophy and sticker. All the unlockable ones haven't been marked yet, but eeeeeeh.

For fun, here's someone sampling some of the English voices in the game :





As you can hear, Meta Knight is terrifying. Pit sounds a bit odd. And Falco is so very Bronx. It's perfect.

Ike is a jerk. "You get no sympathy from me". YOU JUST HIT ME WITH YOUR GIANT ASS SWORD, ASSHOLE.

Bonus:



A little more than a week away...

Cute

For those who haven't seen it:

Dojo Update: Quick Techniques, Plus I made a video!

Quick Techniques shows us a few things you may or may not know you can do! Among them are tourney favorite Small Jump (known to them as 'shorthop') and Perfect Shield (known before as 'Power Shielding'), the new swimming ability, and more new stuff like Pivot grabbing, eating while down, reflecting attacks eventually breaking down.

Now, here's a stupid video made by me:

A Selection of Awesome Song Rips

Game Intro Video + Tonight's the NIGHT!

So, let-a-me a-see-a...

Green Hill Zone stage confirmed.
Marth is back.
Lots of Subspace awesome.

Good show, I'd say.

Edit: THE TIME...IS NOW!



FOOTAGE!



As you can see, we get Port Town from F-Zero GX as a starting stage, as well as Final Destination and Shadow Moses.

There's an abolute ton of information coming in now, and I'll try to stay with it.

Even more Demo Videos Galore

For some reason, here's some guy from the Netherlands who has another bunch of Japanese in-store demo videos. Mostly focusing on Pokemon Trainer, and from it we learn that you can choose which Pokemon you start with. See:



Another interesting video, confirming some of my suspicions. Yep, when you don't have a second character in a Subspace level, the second player becomes a different-colored version of Player 1's character.



And was that Super Mario Bros. 3 Doomship music I heard? Neat.

Also, in another video, it shows that when King Dedede gets the Hammer, he actually uses that and his hammer at the same time. Awesome.

Demo Videos Galore!

And now for more fun, this Youtube user has uploaded several battles from the Japanese in-store game demo. Dedede and Pokemon Trainer footage, yeah! Apparently, the battles are between some of the most prolific players in Japan.

Wow, the soccer ball is powerful. And Sandbag!

Dojo Update: Video, Plus MORE VIDEO

Here's an odd update: a test battle online to show us that one's connection is hunky-dory at about 500 Kilometers away from your online opposition. Really, it's more reassurance for the Japanesie folks who get the game next week, but it's still fun to see some high-quality match videos. There were two videos posted: one on the Japanese site, one on every other.





Last night, there were a number of videos posted. The 5 minute one especially, is awesome:

Well, crap, genuine breakthrough

Now, I already posted this video, but check it again here.

At about 4:20, pay attention to the lower right section of the screen.

Don't feel like it? Here's some screencaps (click to get a decent size):

Notice anything? I'll let it sink in.









SPOILER ALERT: Ness, Jigglypuff, Lucario are confirmed.

Well, I'm surpised. I'm also surprised that GameFAQs finally did something useful.


Edit: Nintendo noticed! They replaced the video with the previous version! Thankfully, the Internet remembers all:

Yet another new commercial

Now with 100% more Olimar!



It appears everyone was right when they speculated his recently-named Final Smash featured him rocketing away as evil beasties ravaged the battlefield. Fun!

Anyway, could that be posted tonight? Makes sense, considering they still need to show music this week and that makes a sensible buddy update for it.

Also, I expect one or two more commercials to be posted, probably next week. Still need one that features Samus/Zero Suit Samus, Bowser, Lucas, the Ice Climbers, and possibly Sheik. As well as possibly whoever they'll show next week, who will likely enjoy lots of PAUNCH!!!

New Commercials + Famitus Unloads!

Cool new videos posted up today. Here's a five and a half video basically explaining the features of the game:



Lots of new trophies and stickers, and just general coolness.

And two more 'normal' commercials:





Wait...is that Duster? Is that someone else? AM CONFUSED AND MUST LOOK TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS.

Edit: VERY IMPORTANT

Japanese game rag Famitsu has the first review of Brawl - its all 10s, putting it on the same level as Soul Calibur and...Nintendogs.

More important, scans show special move lists for some characters, including the final proof that Zelda still transforms into Sheik.

Look here for all scans!

Wow, despite the delay, today has been great.

Japanese TV commercials

Lookee Lookee





Edit: Another One Appears:

Dojo Update: Subspace Emissary Movie

To end off the week, they have released a short preview movie of the Adventure Mode. Probably not too too dazzling - but more footage is always fine by me, especially since we haven't had any Adventure info in a while. There is some things we can gather from the video:

-Pikachu, Ike, and Lucas are all playable in the mode (and it looks like Lucas wields a bat), and Meta Knight teams up with the Ice Climbers at some point.
-Primids wielding beam swords! Oooo scary!
-Bowser wields the same character-to-trophy blaster that Wario had in the extended beginning we saw at E For All, suggesting they are in cahoots.
-Weeeee mine cart!

Plus some new environments for me to list.

Dojo Updates: Widescreen Support, Donkey Kong

Wow, that's a technical update. But for those of you with fancy television sets, here's how you set it up. It even shows you how to tell if it's on the right setting. The screens feature my new favorite character combination.

And look! A Weird tecno-y remix of the original Donkey Kong music! They've been plowing through the music this month...but considering that there's about 5-6 more series that need music updates, I can see why they're amping it up.

And now, new E For All videos, probably with some of the clearest footage and best sound:

METROID ATTACK!

Dojo Update: Donkey Kong Makes His Stand, Plus I Speculate WarioWare

I posted this video before it was put in update form, and the only thing it adds is a fairly cool remix of the second half of the Donkey Kong Country jungle theme. Let's move on, then.

*****************************************

Now, they announced WarioWare months ago, and in the update they showed three of the microgames that the stage will shift to. As a fan of the WarioWare games, I wonder what other games they will use on this stage. I have a few ideas:


Dodge the potato/hot dog/shark car!


Jump rope! FASTER!


OUTTA THE WAY!


RUN!!!


The roof is falling!


Avoid Rhinoceri!


Beware of fruit!

Dojo Update: Peach's Final Smash & New Videos

Well, there isn't really much to say about Peach's Final Smash that we didn't find out last week. Apparently, the close an opponent is to you, the longer they'll be asleep.

But the major thing to tide us over this weekend is all the footage dripping in from E For All. This Youtube user has a ton of videos, although you'll have to withstand the cheering of the bubbly tournament refs in the background.

Here are some of the videos that game trailers posted as well, featuring Adventure mode footage:

Dojo Updates: New Launch and E For All, Taking Snapshots, plus Demo Videos

We get some simple updates to end the week, the first one being a Notice explaining the delay and Brawl's playability at E For All next week.


The second is an expansion of a feature from Melee. Now you can take screenshots anytime you pause the game, and you can save them to your Wii's internal memory or an SD card. Of course, as predicted, you can send these photos to your registered online friends. There's also a mysterious fourth option, which they say they hope they can include (but they have this extra bit of development time, so it's pretty much guaranteed). What could it be?

And now for the extra fun: IGN and Gamevideos have videos of the playable demos from the conference. We get lots of characters and stages in action, plus a few things we haven't seen yet:

















I've seen other videos online as well. There was a lot of stuff confirmed from these, too, and the final IGN hands-on report. Diddy Kong's special moves, Sonic's special moves, Peach's Final Smash, a few more returning items, and stage mechanics have been seen, so check out the confirmed section for details. Although, I can say that yes, they brought back the intro animations.
