As mentioned in my comic thread, IGN put up some Smash Bros gameplay videos. The game looks great, and I like the interface. It looks eerily similar to a fanmade mockup I saw a few months ago. I love how Diddy's sound effects consist of regular chimpanzee noises. I've always wanted to beat up a monkey!
Dang. I was planning to try making Metaknight my new favored character, but now everyone knows he rocks. At this point they may tone him down for balance sake.
Since each character can also switch colors pre-fight, Nintendo took the opportunity to seamlessly include Dark Link as one of the character options. He fights the same, but looks totally badass, which is a must.
I'm glad that more hero characters are getting appropriate villain counterparts. Let's see some Ridley, King K. Rool, Blue (rival Pokémon trainer), Medusa, Waluigi (a stretch, I know, but I just love his DDR dance moves), Dr. Robotnik, Revolver Ocelot, and, uh... any other suggestions?
That would be sweet. I suppose the Wii could connect to a DS' PictoChat and pretend to be a fellow PictoChat client, then upload its drawings to the Brawl arena in real-time. I very much doubt this is going to happen, but it sure sounds like fun.
So, some people on a local radio show were saying they think Sora from Kingdom Hearts could be a character, because Yoko Shimomura is a musician for Brawl, and he composed the Kingdom Hearts music. I think this could be something to keep an eye on.
I thought about that when I saw the composers, at first I didn't really want Sora in because of how much the Square fanboys/girls would blow it out of proportion, like they always do. But now I think he'd be a decent brawler, given the right moveset.
If its accurate, that would mean that Krystal is appearing in some form, either Assist Trophy or as a playable character. Somehow, she doesn't seem to be AT material though, so I'm betting on playable character.

I was really hoping to play this with my friends during winter break, too.
Anything more than about 3 delays pretty much dooms a game to failure. Even at 3 it becomes hit or miss as to whether the game will be good or not.
EDIT: I believe someone once said "Real artists ship."
Also, apparently Metaknight is really good.
It hopped to 3 days after mine!
I missed a lot in my travels!
Also...Wii post ftw.
I'm rather pleased about that. Oh yes.

Bwst game evar.
Never thought they'd put in two new Kirby characters.
Also, Meta Knight and Dedede suck, cause we've already been able to play as them.
I betcha he'll be a boss in story mode before you can play as him
Or what about Wolf? I was never a fan of Fox/Falco in melee, but if they made wolf have his own moveset, he could be cool.
