Don't worry about Pikmin & Olimar Itakio, there are some unknown factors that may render your concerns null and void: - Olimar might have invincibility frames while plucking Pikmin, similar to how Ike is flinch-proof during Aether's start-up. Thus, an opponent couldn't hit Olimar to stop him...

I'm logging in to disagree with the topic starter. Olimar is a character that depends on CREATING and CONTROLLING other characters in order to do well. What other characters, I ask you, are anything like that? None. Olimar is completely unique. And since he is unlike anything we've...

If you read what I wrote, you'd see that I'm keenly aware of how content based on Japan-only games was kept in English versions of Melee, and how I expect that'll be the same for Brawl. I'm just feeling a little more paranoid because of Mother's long history of not receiving its due in North...

As a person who's watched English-speaking Mother fans denied their game time and time again, I'm a little paranoid that, for whatever reason, the Mother 3-related content in Brawl will be nixed for the North American version. I mean, there's no LOGICAL reason why it'd happen. After all...

My thoughts on why Ness should (and will) stay That was a good read, Luke Groundwalker, and you raise many interesting points. However, I'd like to respectfully disagree with a number of them. I think Ness should -- and could -- still be included, even though I like Lucas more. Here's why...

Ideas for Pacman I respect the topic starter's opinion, but I can easily think of a Pacman moveset. The following moves assume Pacman has his hands and feet, in keeping with Nacmo's current version of the mascot. However, his hands and feet disappear into his body when specified: - Standard...

Hold up! MY FEAR FOR RIDLEY: First, let me state that I want Ridley above ALL characters. I love the character dearly, and think he would be a brilliant addition to Smash's roster. However, I fear that Ridley may become a stage hazard in Brawl's Metroid stage. Here's why: The...

Volt Tackle has the advantage of maneuverability . Imagine: Mario unleashes the Mario Finale just as Pikachu does Volt Tackle. Pikachu flies over Mario's tidal wave of fire, then zips over to him and r*pes his arse to high heaven. Or say the same thing happens against Link. Link would dash...

Here's the one I've been using: Not sure why the size is reduced when run through Photobucket. - Neiteio

Here's how it works. First, Sakurai wrote the updates in his native Japanese, so the updates on the Japanese version of the site are his words verbatim. He prepared all of his updates in advance so they could be localized by translators in other territories and then uploaded automatically at...

I think it's this very topic -- the Samus/Zamus transformation -- that led Sakurai to cover Fox before Samus, despite Samus having appeared first in the trailers. I think he's planning a two-for-one veteran/newcomer update on Samus/Zamus, with the transformation dynamic covered. It would be a...

I'd like to believe you, but could you provide a source proving that Sakurai said the part I underlined? - Neiteio

You're wrong. He was tied for second place with Ike, Geno and Diddy Kong. Each had four definite mentions. SOURCE HERE. This is remarkable because Metroid is not popular in Japan. Sakurai likes Metroid, and has gone on the record saying he wants to add more Metroid characters. This, coupled...

Let me post what I wrote on another forum: "My theory is Ridley was originally meant to appear in Melee, but was ultimately scrapped due to time constraints. Melee's intro FMV was made before the game was finished for promotional purposes (E3 2001). Like most FMVs, it was outsourced to a...
