Super Smash Bros Brawl NEWS!

Bugman?!

Damm not only does this mean characters like Eggplant Wizard and Waluigi can get a chance in Brawl, it also pretty much confrims the THrophys are back.

This is gonna be the best ****ing Smash of the Trilogy

When I saw Nintindogs in that one video I asumed the only way they could make that an item was in some pokeball type item. Yay, I was right. Holy crap this is awesome.

If Foreman Spike is an assist character, I will die with a big smile in my face.

I want him as a playable character though...

Anyway, nice to see we start the week with something new and interesting !

You know what's be awesome is if Kirby could copy the assist trophy characters.



Crap, make him able to copy Pokemon while you're at it.

I actually don't like this idea, it might be better if they remove pokeballs and make all pokemon assist trophies instead

What? That'd be stupid.

Plus, imagine the insanity of just pokeballs and assist trophies, on high

I'm suprised I haven't posted in this topic yet.

This is really awesome.

What characters could be the equivalent of Legendary Pokemon that blow **** up?

Goroh as only an assist trophy? I'm fine with characters like Hammer Bro, but if they start sticking more characters deserving of a playable spot as those things I'm going to get more annoyed.

Kirby's helpers and DK's animal buddies seem like they'd work well as assist trophies though.

Y'know what'd be cool? Playing as a koopa troopa! it;d be like a dumbed down bowser, IT could be the one you get first, then bowser becomes unlockable or something.

GIYYYGASSS

Some ideas I thought of. Crossposting from SA:

Metal Gear assist. A metal gear flies into the background and just unleashes all kinds of missiles onto the battlefield. Assuming this just doesn't happen anyway on Snake's stage.

Something similar to the above where the attack hits the entire battlefield, it could send out a whole army of Shroob UFOs that attack the area.

Tetris blocks. All over the place. Though I'd still love to see that be a stage.

The cloud with one eye from Kirby.

A Goron can be sent out, and then curls into a ball and just starts wheeling around the stage running over the other fighters.

The dark Mario thing with the paintbrush from Mario Sunshine could come out and jump all over the stage making a mess, and generally making the battle field completely slippery and hard to walk on.

A CHAIN CHOMP! One that got loose. You could even keep it with N64 graphics so it's like the chain chomp you set free in Mario 64. Complete with barking noise.

A natural disaster. Like a tornado, giant tidal wave, giant monster, etc. Dr. Wright appears on screen kind of like he did in Sim City, and panics for a second then runs off screen. THAT'S when the disaster attacks the battlefield.

Duckhunt. Ducks go flowing around the screen, and in foreground where, for example the Nintendog would be, is the barrel of the old NES gun. It fires like crazy at the ducks who fly around and random directions. Everyone is basically open to get attacked by gunfire. The dog has to be incorporated in there somewhere too. Bonus points for the ducks being NES graphics.

Something with the animal partners from Donkey Kong Country. Either they can all just stampede across the stage, OR a random partner will come out and fight alongside the person who threw the assist. For example, Squawks could fly right next to the person and shoot eggs constantly at the other players.

Assist trophies sound great, it'll help minor characters get in. I don't really care for Samurai Goroh or the F-Zero series, but from what I hear, he's a pretty important character, so it bothers me that he is in a assist trophy.
I think they know what they're doing. Brawl is going to be amazing.

And actually, playing as assist Characters wouldn't be so hard when gameshark wii comes. But you;ll have to replace one of the availibe characters with the model and moves of the assist or some gibberish like that.

Well this gives the highly unlikely characters, like Geno, Tingle, Tom Nook, Petey Piranha, King Boo, MPH hunters, etc a fair shot at Brawl.

Also Goro as an item kinda makes me think Captain Falcon will go solo again as far as playable characters are concerned. I mean, who else would fit as a playable F-Zero character other than Goro? :/

This pretty much guaruntees Metroid which will be fun-as-hell items. :3

I can't wait to see the new trophy system. Maybe if you get certain Nintendo made VC games you will get new assist trophies you normally couldn't get.

I don't know why they decided Samurai Goro to be an assistant, rather than a real character. I've never played an F-Zero before, but he looks like he'd kick some ass.

I wouldn't want Goro to be a character. You rarely even see any of the F-Zero racers out of their cars, if ever. I'm surprised the Captain Falcan made it into the original Smash Bros.
