Today was a pretty good update.

A brand new ice climber level! and its not about going up a mountain! Its sliding down on a glacier and into the ocean.

The summit? The summit of what? If you must know, I suppose it’s the summit of Icicle Mountain. And I guess there are vegetables there after all.

In other words, it’s an Ice Climber stage.

At first glance, it appears to be a normal glacial peak. But after you fight for a while...

A pop! A crack! It’s breaking?!

Th-the terrain is sliding downhill!

It’s finally arrived at the sea. And with a splash, too!

Hmm. Talk about hectic. And rumor has it, you can’t get careless once you’ve reached the sea.

The polar bear is pushing the iceberg deeper!

A fish leaps out of the water!

I feel like I’ve seen that fish before somewhere... Where could it have been?

man, that level looks awesome. In that last picture, it looks he's swimming? That would be awesome.

yup, in a video showing pikachu, i think, it showed him swimming. So basically swimming has been confirmed. I think tomorrows update may show confirm swimming. Man, the great bay stage would've been so much better if you could swim.

I guess I could do it tonight...

Meta Knight: Final Smash

<Galaxia Darkness>

Heh heh heh. I got it.

Meta Knight has gotten the Smash Ball. Behold!

Take this!

...

He swirls his cape out in a wide sweep, but if he swings and misses, nothing happens. It’s a waste of the Smash Ball. Be sure to hit with that swing of the cape.

This time, behold!

The field is gradually engulfed in darkness.

Toh!

The field is swallowed by darkness, and Meta Knight slices strongly through it. Enemies get launched helplessly. Talk about cool.

But there is even more coolness to this move.

If there are others besides the enemy you hit with the cape...

They get cut in the darkness, too!

So, while this move’s initial attack range is relatively narrow, if you hit with it, most everyone suffers. Aim well and sally forth.

nice update, i never stay up for the updates anymore...damn school. Though the FS is only useful if the enemy is close by, so that means metaknight must be bada$$. maybe, to balance it out.

BTW:

Look at the last pic. SHADOW MARIO CONFIRMED!

lol jk.

Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 12:24 am

lol! Maybe it'll be a different costume. But wasn't shadow mario kinda blueish?

Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 3:09 am

Yeah, he was blueish. I don't think he'll be a costume, they would have showed it in the demo.

On-Screen Appearances

As the match begins, the characters enter the screen with signature moves!

These fun appearances have been revived in Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

Mario appears out of a pipe. It’s pretty basic.

Fox dashes out of the Arwing.

The condor appears! It’s the Ice Climbers.

Pit comes riding in on light from the heavens.

Mr. Saturn’s tea table? Lucas appears!

Could that be warp magic? It’s Ike?

Snake’s optical camouflage breaks up as he lands.

There’s a three-second countdown before the match begins. And those are just a few of the fighters making their appearances.

Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2007 5:06 am

It was actually confirmed a few weeks ago.

Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2007 10:18 pm

Yeah, but its nice to see some good screenshots of it for once.

Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2007 3:05 pm

The Arwing makes an emergency landing on the edge of a dense jungle.
As Diddy Kong discovers it, and evil hand reaches for him from the lake...

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem Theme
Music

"Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem Theme" (1:15)

Lyrics Supervisor : Masahiro Sakurai
Translation Supervisor : Taro Yamashita
Composition Supervisor : Yuka Tsujiyoko
Arrangement Supervisor : Shogo Sakai
Director : Taizo Takemoto
Soprano : Oriko Takahashi
Tenor : Ken Nishikiori
• Copyrights for this song are held by Nintendo and INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS.
• Check your volume settings.

We’re using an extravagant chorus with the Super Smash Bros. Brawl main theme, right? Well, when we recorded it, we also created and recorded the Fire Emblem theme with the same members.

In Japan, the lyrics used in commercials are quite famous ("♪If danger approaches, retreat helter-skelter!"), but in taking it worldwide, I’ve reflected on the Fire Emblem world and done the lyrics in Latin.

If you were to write them in English, they would go something like this:

Fire Emblem, companions walk
The endless path together.

In the wavering shadow of spite,
Our home is faced by the oncoming spear,
Engulfed in flames.

I keep that unforgettable day in my heart
And now rise up together with my companions.

Fire Emblem, our bond shall be never broken.

We hold fast to protect tomorrow
And the one who awaits our return.

Fire Emblem, light gathers on the flag we unfurl.

Fire Emblem, we gaze upon the multitude of stars,
Gripping our blades.

If we do not bring light to the darkness in these lands,
The shooting stars will soar over a wasteland.

Fire Emblem, on whom does the morning sun shine
As she climbs over the edge of battle?

Items from Previous Installments
Items

A number of items from past Smash games appear in this one as well. But, of course, there are naturally many people who have never played any of those games. And even if you have, I still think I ought to explain these.

It’s not all of them, but I would like to introduce a few.

<Beam Sword>

It is a blade of light—the Beam Sword.

This time it gets REALLY long!

<Fire Flower>

Hold down the button to release a fire burst!

<Freezie>

Throw it at someone to freeze them.

<Home-Run Bat>

Do a side-smash to hit a home run!

This time, everyone has a different stance.

<Party Ball>

Items pour out from inside.

<Super Mushroom>

When you get the mushroom...

You become gigantic!

These are just some of the items that intensify the slapstick nature of this game. You must master them all!

wonder what that clock does....

Gray Fox

If Snake is going to be joining the brawl, then it should be fine to have someone else from the Metal Gear world join as an Assist Trophy, right?

Frank Jaeger, the Gray Fox, appears!

Oh! Cool mono-eye!

He approaches stealthily with lithe jumps, coming right in then slicing repeatedly. Awww! It makes you want to use him as a playable character.

He slices over and over with his back-handed grip.

By the way, he reflects projectiles.

PA-SHEEN!

Gray Fox faces off with Snake.

Gray Fox, who engaged in a grand battle to the death with Metal Gear REX... To think that he would reappear on Wii, and alongside Mario and Sonic at that!

You never know what might happen in this world.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surely you’ve learned how to shield to protect yourself. Have you learned that yet? Good. You’ve learned.

Then next up is grabbing. And throwing!

Press the attack button while shielding...

And grab at your opponent!

If you press the attack button while shielding, you’ll grab. Give a try next time you’re shielding.

Block your enemy’s attack with your shield!

Then just press the attack button to grab your enemy!

Tilt the Control Stick in any direction you like to throw!

Then pursue with combo attacks!

And so on.

Grabs are also effective against enemies that are protecting themselves with their own shields. Shield against attacks, then grab. Or dodge. If you can understand this flow, you’ll find they add a dimension that changes the simple charging attack.

At any rate, get in the habit of shielding when you’re in trouble. Then you can think about what comes next.

Lucas: Special Moves

There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users.

But Lucas’s physical combat style is quite different. By which I mean, he does not have the same standard moves.

His strong up attack is a mentally-powered flip kick.

He unleashes a PK barrage on the ground with his down smash!

The finish of his back air attack is a meteor smash.

Oh! Is he grabbing the edge with his rope snake?!

<Side Special Move: PK Fire>

This is also quite different from Ness’s.

It flies perfectly sideways, even in air.

The flame pillar explodes!

<Standard Special Move: PK Freeze>

If you charge it up and control it...

You can freeze your opponents!

And even more threatening is his PK Thunder. For those of you unfamiliar with the last game, or the one before that, remember this well.

<Up Special Move: PK Thunder>

You guide the PK Thunder with the Control Stick...

And hit yourself with it to launch!

Doing this helps you recover.

The angle you launch at depends upon the position at which the PK Thunder hits you. This launch also makes for a rather powerful attack, so I think it’s fine to even try it unexpectedly.

<Down Special Move: PSI Magnet>

This move absorbs the energy of projectile and other attacks and uses it to recover Lucas’s damage. It has a wide range of effectiveness, so give it a try when you get the chance.

If an enemy uses a projectile, that’s your chance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This could very well mean that Ness is not coming back...unless they completely overhaul his moves.
