OFFICIAL Super Smash Brothers Brawl Japanese release thread of OMFG

[muckson]

let me spell it out differently:

smash brothers is just a gimmick mini game blown out of proportion.  in fact, it would be better placed as an unlockable mini-game in super mario galaxy.  it ain't worth the money it costs.

[Vizzys]

Its a fighting game

endless

+online +replays of battles +trophy collecting (for achievement whores)

+ adventure mode with a story of some sort

worth 50$ yes

[Van Cruncheon]

it's closer to mario party than a real fighting game

enjoy your mario party, kiddles

[TakingBackSunday]

I will!  Thank you vury much good sir.

[MCD]

amazing.

Is it normal that I have no idea who at least 10 of the characters in that selection screen are? I've been gaming since the intv days, and I had a nes and snes, but I'm totally  at like 10 of those people.

What's the point of including so many characters when there so many obscures ones

[Smooth Groove]

What's the big deal?  It looks and plays just like the GC game.

[bork]

Shuri, I know what you mean.  I don't know shit about Pokemon, Earthbound, and Fire Emblem characters.  But I do enjoy beating them up.

What's the big deal?  It looks and plays just like the GC game.

It looks like a better version of the previous game, like any other fighting game sequel.

-More characters
-New moves
-New levels
-ONLINE PLAY
-Level editor

-Tons of other shit packed into the single player mode

Aside from the stupid pokemon, which characters are that obscure?

At least it's widescreen

[demi]

Are you fucking shitting me? They actually pray at the end of Earthbound? I might have to stop playing. Thank Christ (joke) Mother 3 didn't have any religious shit in it.

Yeah, but it's actually kinda cool how it works. I loved that game's final battle, best part of Earthbound for sure, even if I wasn't entirely enamored by the rest of the game (I mean it's alright but there are lots of much better RPGs out there).

WRONG

the best part is when you collect all the lullabies and you see the flashback

[Vizzys]

marth has a cheap final smash


so awesome

[bork]

Two hours of the single player mode and only 20% finished!  It's a BIG GAME.  You don't get to pick who you want, so it forces you to use everybody.  I really like Pit, Pokemon Trainer, and Zero Suit Samus, but Meta Knight moves kinda weird so I wasn't too big on him.  Diddy Kong is apparently Keanu Reeves in disguise.

More IRC logs?

ESS EMM EITCH

[bork]

The game owns, haters owned, Wii awesomeness confirmed.  The adventure mode alone is worth it for the great 2D platforming action, which incorporates game play and level design styles from all the various Nintendo games.  One stage even had Super Mario Land music playing!   

Sorry, but the Mother characters suck shit, at least in the adventure mode.  I was actually glad the Pokemon Trainer is alongside shitty-ass wimpy crybaby Lucas, because his water Pokemon (Squirtle?) is awesome.  The other two Pokemon he has seemed kinda shitty.  Actually they should have just used Squirtle alone.  Fuck the rest...generic Pokemon Trainer guy too.  It's not like he does anything anyway.

Dear Lyte Edge. FUCK YOU

  Noticed a little bit late.

...

Don't fuck with the Smash. 

[muckson]

(Image removed from quote.)

i laughed so hard i farted.

[Oblivion]

Lyte, is everything 60 fps? No one ever wants to answer that.

[bork]

Lyte, is everything 60 fps? No one ever wants to answer that.

For the most part, yes.  I can't really think of any instances of slowdown...it's pretty rock solid.  But again I mostly have been playing adventure mode.

I've noticed most people aren't commenting on some of the long load times that pop up every now and then, the shit quality of the FMVs (And there's a TON of them), and the FMVs that cut off abruptly and you get a black screen for a second or two before the next one starts up.  I think most people aren't really pointing out faults yet because the game is so new and they're enjoying showing off their copies of the game to all the raving lunatic fanboys going insane and eating up everything about Smash that they can until March. I really don't need a picture of you holding up your copy of the game, thanks.

[brawndolicious]

apparently the game uses havok physics so you can't wave dash.

[bork]

I had some bad slowdown for a few seconds on a match on the Ice Climber stage against multiple Ice Climber characters.  It kinda crawled for a second or two there.  But then I got THE BALLOON FIGHT THEME to use for that stage HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT BALLOON FIGHT

I just unlocked Snake; his taunt is normally him hiding under a cardboard box, but if you do it enough times, he drops into his codec pose and calls the Colonel or Mei-Ling (perhaps Naomi too?  Who knows!)  and they have a brief conversation about the character you're facing!

SNAKE CAPTAIN FALCON PUNCH OMG THIS GAME OWNS FAN SERVICE TAKEN TO NEW LEVELS OF INSANITY

[TakingBackSunday]

This game



I want to play as Toon Link so bad.

[MCD]

fmvs quality is shit?

they should have hired the Fire Emblem team, very nice fmvs they do, if only they can do the same thing with the graphics lol.

[recursivelyenumerable]

What do you mean by FMV quality?  Encoding, rendering, animation, models and textures, direction, story...?

[bork]

What do you mean by FMV quality?  Encoding, rendering, animation, models and textures, direction, story...?

I guess it would the encoding part.  The quality could be a bit better, but there's tons and tons of them, so I guess they had to use lower quality to fit it all onto one disc.

[TakingBackSunday]

I read the disc is like 7.5 gigs.  Melee was like 1 gig. 

[demi]

It's a dual-layer DVD, it's not on the internet yet

[Oblivion]

I read the disc is like 7.5 gigs.  Melee was like 1 gig. 

The dual layered ones are 8.5. But we don't know if Nintendo are using those.

[Vizzys]

its the first dual layer disc for wii if true

[Beezy]

That would explain how they managed to fit so much music into it.

[MCD]

1 to 2 giga is enough for this shit.

[Joe Molotov]

Iwata: Could you please make a new Super Smash Bros game for us, Sakurai?

Sakurai: Okay, but...ya know...I think I'm just going to go ahead and make it the best game of all time.

Iwata: k

[bork]

So a friend and I are at the end of the Sub Space Emmisary (adventure mode), or at least I think it's the end.  After you go through a bunch of stages (my game clock was at around 6:30 hours by this point), you then enter a big

spoiler (click to show/hide)

labrynth-like mash-up of various levels, with save areas and warp points between them, METROIDVANIA STYLE.  You have to go through these areas and fight clones of every single character and some of the bosses you have played as or fought against in this mode.

[close]

  After this is was all over (game clock now close to 8 hours), you take on the boss, Taboo.  I think he's an original character.  You also FINALLY get to see

spoiler (click to show/hide)

SONIKKU

[close]

at this point.  Using him against the boss seemed to suck though; you fight on a little platform and he is way too fast and ends up falling off too easily.  We couldn't beat the final boss after multiple attempts.  He's tough...he also has this ultra, ultra cheap attack where he unleashes a massive sphere-like energy blast that basically kills you.  Reminds me of an SNK boss.

[Van Cruncheon]

sounds like hell

[The Sceneman]

lol at sporks pic, what a homo, it would be cool if he opened it up and sucked on the manual

one important question: is that taco captain falcon in this game

They must have been dissapointed when they got a mascot fighter.

I dont think nintendo will notice while they are swimming in money

Not as disappointed as you when you realize that SSBB is better than DMC4.
