Does anyone else feel that Snake is out of place in this game?

Also, when I saw Olimar up there I threw a party.

ONE MONTH TO GO!!!




can you tell that I'm excited?

I think we all are... I just hope Loki turns out being very wrong about the game being delayed a month... Once the game comes out, i think we (our fellow listeners) will start making tournaments...

Captain Olimar FTMFW. I do wonder how they're going to balance these final smash attacks... they all just seem so powerful.

I suspect that they're going to be relatively easy to dodge, and therefore hard to hit with in 1 on 1 matches. Their real home will be in 3 or 4 player matches, where they'll be kind of like the pokeballs: they create obstacles in the stage that people can try to throw you in.

Which means that the main reason to get the final smash item will be to prevent your opponent from getting it, if their character changes somehow (like Samus).

That, or they really will be that powerful and will probably get banned from tournaments.

The final smash attack ball things can be turned off. I'm going to assume most people will take advantage of that.

Then again.. I used to be super competitive with SSBM and we always played without any items....

I'm the same way... I prefer to play without items as well... But the Smash Balls do intrigue me... But i highly doubt that during online play you will be given much of an option for items... I'm assuming when you create a game you can choose to have Items on or off (i highly doubt there will be a custom items section)...

SSBB has been officially delayed one month...

I wonder who didn't saw that coming...
two or three weeks ago... hehehe
Image

No, MGS4 isn't coming to the 360. Never was, never will.
If I'm mistaken, Ranma gets a free copy of it. =P

Ughhh

The more its delayed the higher the expectations are... This game better crap gold when it comes out, otherwise people will be very disappointed... Right now the game has 24 characters confirmed, which is 1 less what Melee had all together... They better step it up to warrant these delays... In other words putting Mega Man in the game will make things "squarsies" :P (even though the creator did say he wont, but you catch my drift)...

Edit: The site also says that the Japanese release date (previously slated for Jan 24th), will be pushed back 1 week to Jan 31st... I'm not going to theorize why Japan gets a 1 week push and why we (Americans) get an entire month...

It's obviously so that they can give the Japanese people the obviously broken game... while we Americans get the fixed one?........



*sigh* I'm gunna go cry somewhere.

The reason for the staggered launches would be for any last minute localization and to have enough time to press enough copies. As it is the Wii disc duplication plants are at full capacity and some games are being delayed because of this. That's just my guess.

Just a guess huh? :P

Anyways new update:

Sheik

Fans were speculating if she was or was not in the game... Well we can put that to rest now that she has be official confirmed...

Image

Image

Image

Just like last game, she is Princess Zeldas (down B) transformation... She has the same attack arsenal as in Melee... The only difference is that the character is remodeled in Twilight Princess' style... She looks badass, but is she cheap/hacked/broken like she was in Melee? I hope not....

If anything, the delay means I don't have to rape my wallet getting SSBB and Apollo Justice in the same month. =)

There are reports that Nintendo accidentally revealed 3 "new" characters from a preview video...

The 3 reported Characters are:

Luccario from Pokemon
Jigglypuff from Pokemon (was in the previous games)
Ness from Mother/Earthbound (was in the previous games)

If you pause This video at 4:20 - 4:22 you will see a couple of icons that are assumed to playable characters... Whats makes this fishy is that Nintendo has since "altered" the video on their site so you don't see these characters... Heres a screen shot of the "evidence"...

Image

I am not one to consider blurry photographs evidence... I will wait till i see actual confirmation before i accept it... Either way aside from 'Puff and Ness returning... Luccario isn't a surprise since he is VERY popular with Pokefans...
