I have given a rating on 10 and a comment about every news we have about Super Smash Bros Brawl. I began writing my review with the news of May, so technically, the last one I did was 'Pokémon Trainer' and I began with 'Musicians'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pokémon Trainer
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* This is my favorite character yet. I don't like Charizard much, and Squirtle is okay... but IVYSAUR always was my favorite starter. I even prevented him to evolve into Venusaur because I didnt want him to have a fat ass. Anyway, I can’t wait to play as Ivysaur.
Pokémon change!
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* It’s cool. I wonder if they’ll ad other trainers/pokémons.
Franklin Badge
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* I like this item. It’s like being Jade in Mortal Kombat. It’s gonna be fun to use against Ness, Link and Samus... especially Samus *shakes fist*
Pit: Final Smash
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* I wish Palutena did something other than calling the army of centurions, but this is a nice final smash. Kamikazes !!
Kid Icarus: The Underworld
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* This is a cool song. It reminds me the old grey nintendo lolz. It even have some melodies that remind me of pokémon themes.
Ike: Special Moves
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* He looks very powerful. The visual effect of Ike throwing his sword will most definately be awesome. His B move seems devastating.
Smoke Ball
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* This is not a bad item. I’ll just set it off if it gets on my nerves.
What is the Subspace Emissary?
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* This was my favorite movie yet. We had a first look at Peach, who looks gorgeous. It’s fun that the adventure mode actually has a storyline attached to it. I also like how Zelda jumps into battle like a warrior, and then you see Peach floating in a cute way as usual lol.
Castle Siege
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* This is definately my favorite stage yet. I wonder how is it in the underground. Guess I’ll have to wait to find out.
Ike
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* He’s definatly in my top 5 favorite characters. I liked Marth in Melee, I’m sure Ike will be as cool, if not even more.
Pitfall
*Update Rating* 6/10
*Comments* This item seems awkward to use but it’s a good idea. I’ll just set it off if it gets on my nerves like the Smoke Ball.
Donkey Kong: Final Smash
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* Probably the only final smash I won’t like that much.
Knuckle Joe
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* I remember him from Kirby All-Stars and he was bad-ass. I like him as an assist trophy.
Footstool Jump
*Update Rating* 5/10
*Comments* I’m not sure if I like this or not yet. I hope it doesn’t change everything, cause I liked how it was in Melee.
Skyworld
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* This is my second favorite stage. It looks amazing and I can’t wait to fight in it.
Yoshi
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* He’s a powerhouse with range and quick attacks and pitiful grabs, and now he looks gayer than ever. I don’t like how he absolutely must look childish. However this never distracted me when playing a character; I just hope he’s still as strong and effective. It’s great that he finally have a third jump.
Rumble Falls
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* I usually hate scrolling stages, but this one is so beautiful it’s an exception. It’s also fun that it continues in the sky.
This World...
*Update Rating* 6/10
*Comments* I just don’t get this news.
Zero Suit Samus
*Update Rating*
*Comments* That’s a great addition to the cast of characters. I like her gun-whip weapon and the fact that she looks awfully nimble.
Samus: Final Smash
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* Gotta love that huge Power Beam before everything explodes. The fact that you can pick the pieces of her power suit after the final smash is nice. Although, I wonder what happens if Zero Samus picks the Smash Coin ? Does she turn back into Power Samus again ?
Deoxys
*Update Rating* 6/10
*Comments* That thing is ugly. Oh well, at least it’s powerful !
Star Fox: Space Armada
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* Nice theme ! I like it more than previous Star Fox themes.
Smashville
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* I never played that game. The stage looks rather okay. It’s fun that there’s something on Saturday 8h00 ! Nice touch.
15 Second Movie Presentation
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* I want movies like that every week !!!
Donkey Kong
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* I like the fact that he’s bigger. He almost looks sexy too lolz. Still, he’s DK and I’m not made for slow characters. Give me nimble bitches.
Bumper
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* Awesome item for combos, anti-comeback and foir annoying people. I love it !
Dr. Wright
*Update Rating* 6/10
*Comments* Meh. He looks dumb.
Standard Combos
*Update Rating* 5/10
*Comments* When I saw that I told myself: ‘Man, I can’t wait for tomorrow’s news!’
Bridge of Eldin
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* I like this stage, it adds a darker mood to SSB Brawl. The Super Smash Bros series needs more of those stages... instead of Yoshi's stages who look childish.
Smash Attacks
*Update Rating* 5/10
*Comments* Nothing new here.
Bowser: Final Smash
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* That’s just incredible. Giga Bowser looks even better than he did in Melee.
Bowser
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* I like how he won,t flinch on every attack and how he’s bigger and looks better. Bowser was fun but tough to play because of his poor recovery after being hit. I hope he’s quicker this time.
What are Assist Trophies?
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* That’s a great way to include various characters from many games without having to waste space for cooler playable characters. Plus, your favorite characters have even more chances of making it to Brawl since they can appear through an assist trophy.
Samurai Goroh
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* He’s damn ugly but looks cool to have on your side. I prefer that’s he’s an assist trophy instead of a playable character.
Wario: Special Moves
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* I’m glad he has a totally different move set than other characters. He has cool tricks too. That’s surprising.
Names
*Update Rating* 6/10
*Comments* Useful but unimpressive news. I hope we can save our data in our controller and bring it to our friends’ house.
Banana Peel
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* Nice item lolz. It was unexpected and it’s gonna be useful and fun to use.
The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time Medley
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* I love this medley, it’s awesome.
Zelda
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* I wanted her to be in so bad. I really like the fact that they gave her her brunette hair back. Her Twilight Princess design is simply brilliant.
Lylat Cruise
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* I like this stage and how it is designed. It will be sooo better than the Venom stage in Melee.
Fox: Special Moves
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* He retains his moves, which were great, so this is great.
Wario
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* I like the fact that he moves in a weird robotic-like way instead of running with his fat ass bouncing all over the place. I also like that he’s not in his yellow and purple suit but in his Wario Ware suit instead.
Pikachu: Final Smash
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* I never thought they would’ve given such a powerful final smash for Pikachu. I really like the volt tackle.
Link: Final Smash
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* Awesome final smash. I like how he dashes into melee before sending them to their death. Go Link !
Samus
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* I like how shiny her armor looks. I can’t wait to see what they changed on her: maybe her grappling beam or her spider bombs have been increased.
Crates and Barrels
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* That’s a neat touch. I like the regular and the futuristic ones.
Metroid: Boss Battle Music(Ridley Fight)
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* The song is wicked cool. Sounds violent and I like it.
Yoshi’s Island
*Update Rating* 5/10
*Comments* Not really the kind of stage I’m into. Still, it looks better than the previous Yoshi’s stages.
Fox
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* He had severe improvement from game to game, and now he just looks sick ! I like how he looks and I hope Falco will receive a similar change.
Four Kinds of Control
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* It’s good to know. I’ll play with the Wii Classic Controller, and give my friends my old Wavebirds.
Kirby
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* I always like character updates, even if they’re veterans. I’m just trying to think of all the B moves Kirby will copy and I can’t wait to play that fucking game.
Pikachu
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* He was always nimble and powerful, I’m sure I’ll enjoy playing him as much as I used to.
You must recover!
*Update Rating* 2/10
*Comments* Everybody knows that. That’s not the news I wanted that day lol. Have you notices how mario jumps far with all his jumps ? It’s sick !!!
What Are Poké Balls?
*Update Rating* 4/10
*Comments* Old stuff, that’s why I didn’t give a high rating... they should replace Goldeen by Magikarp. And if you kick it it evolves into Gyarados and goes on rampage.
Groudon
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* It’s cool that it actually stays on the stage, it makes it harder for enemies to attack you. Seems powerful too.
Yoshi’s Story: Ending
*Update Rating* 5/10
*Comments* I’m not really into Yoshi’s music, but you gotta admit it’s cheering up. I always felt that the music and stages from Yoshi’s games looked more childish than the other games.
Delfino Plaza
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* I just love the concept of this stage. The fact that you begin on a small platform and end in the plaza is pretty cool. It’s a very original concept for a stage, something never seen before in the Super Smash Bros series.
Cracker Launcher
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* Looks like a decent item. I may like it more once I use it for real, but for now it’s not what gets me the most excited about Brawl.
Moving and Shooting
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* This news wasn’t as impressive as the others, but the fact that you can walk back and forth and even jump while shooting with items is just brilliant.
What is a Final Smash?
*Update Rating* 10/10
*Comments* This is definately the best thing that has happened in video game history : Final Smashes in SSB Brawl.
Mario: Final Smash
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* Okay Mario never had a move that cool before. It’s amazing looking and it seems very useful for devastating the arena. One of my favorite final smashes yet.
Pit: Special Moves
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* I like the arrow. I always liked flying characters, birds and stuff that flies. I hope his wing move will fly a great deal.
Pit
*Update Rating* 9/10
*Comments* Wow ! A flying and nimble character with ranged attacks, fast attack speed and quick recovery; so many reasons for me to like him. He will be among the first characters that I’ll try.
Gooey Bomb
*Update Rating* 7/10
*Comments* This item seems cool and fun to use. At first I thought they took it from a game, I didn’t know it was created for the Super Smash Bros series.
Mario
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* Mario is one of my favorite characters in Melee because of his all around style and lack of weakness. He’s always been fun to use and I can’t wait to play as him.
Link
*Update Rating* 8/10
*Comments* First character update. Link looks better than ever and I can’t wait to play as him.
The Basic Rules
*Update Rating* 2/10
*Comments* Basic rules make basic news. I like how they made the % meter and how the character face look on them.
Battlefield
*Update Rating* 6/10
*Comments* I hated this stage in Melee because it was too small. It seems to be bigger now, which I like. The change of time is a nice touch.
The Musicians
*Update Rating* 3/10
*Comments* This news hints us that there will most likely be newcomer from Kingdom Hearts, Golden Sun and other games. That was the first news so nothing better could have been expected.
