The mystery is cleared up. We now know the contents of the vault. Stuff. This update is LOOONG. They go over the following..

Trophy Gallery
Trophy Hoard
Sticker Album

Sticker Center
Coin Launcher
Stage Builder
Album

Challenges
Replays
Masterpieces
Chronicle

Wait.. Chronicle?

Oh, Cronicle!

"This bonus feature lets you peruse Nintendo’s library of past titles. Missing titles in your Chronicle will gradually fill in as you obtain stickers and other things related to those games. (However, there are some titles that will not be displayed until the very end.)

Mm hmm... ...This is just nuts."

Since this update was all old info, and one boring little addition, it will not get a very good score.

22

SmashTUESDAYSmash
This update was boring. It's a list of all the songs that appear on default stages.

Here's the list.

SmashWEDNESDAYSmash
This is the defaut roster. Also known as OLD NEWS.

Ahh, isnt it great to see everyone using Gamecube controllers? The developers know that the Gamecube controller is the ONLY way to play smash. Sakurai says there's no need to memorize this. Perhaps because it's the same as every other game, and we should already know it? You place a coin on which character you wish to use.

In layman's terms, first you grab it, then you put it down.

The announcer will scream your character's name, and 2 players will disconnect, because they're afraid of Meta Knight. For he will pwn them.

You can tap your character to change thier color. That will make it less troublesome to change CPU colors.

No more holding A!

When a character has 2 or more forms, click the character you wish to start as! No more holding A! (Although if you wanna play as Zamus, you gotta hold R.)

He also mentions RANDOM. This time, unlike in Melee, you don't know who you are until the match starts. So if you get someone you SUCK as, you can't say "DO OVER!!"

Right there. Where P1 is pointing. No not there, THERE!

Click the pencil to change your name. Fancy!

Tap the player's name/player number to replace them with a CPU player, tap them again to take them out of the match. Much like all options are purple, all panels for CPU characters are grey.

To determine a CPU's level, click where there would be a pencil for a human. No more irritating, imprecise ball!

To change the rules, tap the area that says "X minute K.O fest!"

Why not play a COOL game mode, rather than time?

This is the first thing you must do. Set it to stock, otherwise you will be unhappy.

Items

Here's where you adjust items. If you are a tournament player, you'll want to set it to NONE.

You can then set handicaps, and switch to team brawl, if you wish. Next, hit START and head on over to STAGE SELECT!

Default Stages.

Final Destination is default. REJOICE!! FOR YOU MUST NOT WAIT FOREVER TO GET IT!!! HURRAH!! Notice that button down there that says Melee Stages?

Oh! That's nice!

That button is now CUSTOM STAGES. That's fancy!

Well, that update was BORING.

This update gets a ZERO. Second ZERO in the history of this blog!

SmashTHURSDAYSmash

Today we got a Game Mode introduction movie, and an announcement.

The Smash Bros. DOJO will no longer be spoiler-free. DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WISH TO AVOID SPOILERS. Cuz Friday's a character..

MotherFRIDAYMother
Ness

Ness! Hurrah!! My main has returned!!! He's easy to unlock, but I won't go into that here.

Hey, Lucas. I CAN POINT TOO! HAHA

T-The eyes.. MAKE THEM STOP LOOKING AT ME!! AUUUUUUGH!!!

Ness's Special Moves
Standard Special MovePK Flash
Side Special MovePK Fire
Up Special MovePK Thunder
Down Special MovePSI Magnet
Final SmashPK Starstorm

Sakurai now explains that Lucas is Luigified. (If you have the nerve to think of NESS as the Luigified clone, please shoot yourself.)

Kirby seems unphased.

Lucas' PK Thunder passes through enemies, Ness' doesn't. Also, Lucas looks ALOT cooler when he uses it. Oh, and Lucas' PK Thunder is easier to control, and can make sharper turns, but Ness' is FASTER!

Ouch!

When you hit yourself with PK Thunder, Lucas scores multiple hits on an enemy, Ness slams into them once, sending them FLYING!

Bat > Stick

Ness' side smash is slower, but stronger. Also, he doesn't look like a baby when he uses it. Ness has the face of a champion. Lucas.. He deserves to be pelted with eggs.

PK FIRE!!

Ness' PK Fire scores multiple hits, but Lucas' has knockback, so it only hits once.

Lucas' Starstorm is better.

Ness' PK Starstorm flies in a fan-like pattern. It tends to avoid enemies in all the gameplay videos I've seen of it.

This week gets a..

Out of 5..

THIS WEEK'S WINNER IS: Ness.
I may be a bit biased, but Ness is my main. I just LOVE to see screenshots of him in action!

THIS WEEK'S LOSER IS: Brawl.
We all know how to do this already. Urgh.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"Now that's Styling!"
Seriously. ROFL.

Join us next week, as Sakurai announces that Chuck Norris is a secret character, only unlockable by killing Satan himself, proving that you are worthy of facing Chuck Norris. Although try as you might, it is impossible to unlock him, for you must first defeat him in a match, which is impossible.

 
 

 ZeldaMONDAYZelda
That's a BIG bow!

The week started off with Zelda/Shiek's final smash. (They actually mention Shiek's final in the update, so hopefully we won't get ANOTHER update just for him/her/it/potato)

Biff!

Fire a light arrow! It has the amazing ability to make cheesy old SFX appear! Biff! Bam! Smack!

QUICK! TO THE PIT MOBILE!

As you can see, Zelda's Final Smash SUCKS, because it's just a thin line. Luckily, once an enemy is hit, they're pretty much done for.

Shiek fires arrows too.

If hit by Shiek, they fly horizontally. Try not to execute this as Shiek if they're in front of a wall.

22

PokemonTUESDAYPokemon
Manaphy

I bet when you saw that it was a POKEMON you just said "Ugh" But wait! This Pokemon is cool!!

Heart Swaaap!

It performs the move known as Heart Swap! Heart Swap has the amazing ability to cause 2 people to go through one of the biggest TV cliche ever! They switch bodies! (Seriously, what show HASN'T had an episode where 2 characters have to live as the other character for a day? And everyone learns a lesson.)

Monkey Chasing fun!

Naturally, there will be panicking. Then you'll get the bright idea to jump off the stage at your opponent's expense! Hold on there!

"But you haven’t really swapped places, so if you jump off the edge, it counts as a self-destruct for you. And your damage meter remains as it was."

Don't worry! It's over in a flash!

Heart Swaaaaap!

You switch back, then everyone learns a lesson. It sure is hard playing as Zelda when you're used to DK!

Also, Iwata Asks.

MarioWEDNESDAYMario
These are some very scary ruins!

This area of the Mushroom Kingdom has been abandoned for over 20 years. They should have hired a gardener.

Hopefully it's not as bad as Icecicle Mountain.

The stage slowly scrolls forward through the Mushroomy Kingdom. Try not to die. (Hopefully it's slower than Icecicle Mountain)

1-2! w00t!

Sometimes, the game will play some serious mindgames and load up world 1-2 instead. Wait, doesn't that defeat the purpose of selecting a stage?

Oh, and we also got some sweet tunes. Mario tunes! It's about time!

4444

SmashTHURSDAYSmash
Today we got a Wi-Fi test between Tokyo and Kyoto. Waaiiiit a minute.. Kyoto is Tokyo mixed up! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!

Tokyo and Kyoto are about the same distance apart as Las Vegas and Los Angeles. THERE'S A DIFFERENT VIDEO ON THE JAPANESE SITE!

Snake got back.

SmashFRIDAYSmash
Super Mario!

In Brawl, you can get DEMOS of games! So if you unlock someone and you're like "WHO THE CRAP IS THAT?" you can play thier game! BUT BEWARE! You have a time limit. Some of the games are..

Super Mario Bros.
Ice Climber
The Legend of Zelda
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Super Metroid
Starfox 64

And on the Japanese page, there are 2 more games.

Fire Emblem
Mother 2 (Earthbound)

This week gets a..

THIS WEEK'S WINNER IS: Mushroomy Kingdom
It is awesome and nostalgic. 'nuff said.

THIS WEEK'S LOSER IS: Zelda's Final Smash
BORING.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"all you can do is laugh at how hard they are."
So true. So true..

Join us next week, as Sakurai brags about how Japan gets Brawl over a month early, The triumphant return of Icecicle Mountain is unvieled, and Sakurai teaches us how to buy the game! (On the American site, it will just say "HAHA we get it first"

 
 
19 January 2008 @ 06:49 pm

I'm getting a tad bit sick of updating every day, so from now on, I'm going to smush an entire week into one post! Let's get started!

Smash Bros. MONDAY Smash Bros.

All challenges are colored blue.

Now this is an interesting update. It helps us figure out how to get those obscure trophies (and other things of that sort) like that one in melee that made you play like, 200 coin matches. But if you're NORMAL, then you hate coin matches, and would rather take the easy way out, and bash it with a hammer. But more on that later.

He'll do it! He's doing it!

When you meet certain requirements, the glass shatters, revealing a prize! Isn't that great? If it includes music, you can listen to it on the spot.

Pink Ball Repulsion is a funny name.

When you bust open a window, the ones on either side turn opaque, allowing you to see how to aquire them. I totally missed this the first time around, and was all like "How do you make the red ones appear?" all week long, until I went to do this.

Don't let your friends egg you on.

For things you just CAN'T do, because you fail at life, or ones that make you play Coin mode, you get 3 Golden Hammers. These will give you the prize, without having to work (this doesn't work on all windows. Probably coin match ones.) But beware, once used, a golden hammer will never return. Now that's what I call 7 years of bad luck.



PikminTUESDAYPikmin

"Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th.

I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience."

WHAT.

SAAAAKURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!!!!!!!

Aside from that kick in the balls, we also got a stage.

Smash Brand soda? Take THAT gamer fuel!

This stage is bouncy. Hopefully Zamus is bouncy too, if you know what I mean.. Nudge Nudge Wink Wink, eh?

That looks nothing like an onion.

This is a pellet and an onion. That so called "Pellet" looks more like a bottle cap, and the onion looks nothing like an onion. But pushing that aside, throw pellets at onions and items come out. Yay!

The itsy bitsy Samus got washed away by rain, and hangs on to the ledge for dear life, but she's about to get a face full of Mario.

Sometimes it rains, when it rains, it pours, causing a horrible flood. Everyone says "WEE!! WATERSLIDE" and die shortly afterwards. Samus hangs on for dear life.

If you thought that was the only stage hazard, then you're WRONG!

No, Dedede! Don't play in there!

Sometimes, that thing will show up (I've played Pikmin, but I can't remember what it's called) and eat people. Or in this case, plant things and penguins with mallets. Interesting.



ZeldaWEDNESDAYZelda

WARNING: CHARACTER RETURNING!

Sheik

Look who it is! The female ninja warrior herself.. SHIEK!!

Dramatic Explosion, followed by the return of a long awaited friend.

Now n00bs have no excuse for calling Shiek a "he" for she now posesses Womanly, er.. Features.

Diddy is happy.

Shiek mains rejoice! Stamina is in no way mentioned here! Diddy seems happy. He must be a Shiek main.

Oh, and characters now have thier special moves and Final Smash listed on thier profiles. Perhaps they were waiting for Shiek to add this feature? Note that Shiek and Zelda have the same final smash. I wouldn't be suprised if they had 2 seperate updates. Zelda's Final Smash, and Shiek's Final Smash. I can see it now. "I-I've seen this somewhere before!"



PikminTHURSDAYPikmin

Smash that ball, Olimar!

ZOMG! Olimar's up special can smash the smash ball! Interesting.

Time to go night night.

Olimar acts like a coward, and flies off. Dude, you're in a FIGHTING game, but you can't handle a few predators? Wimp.

Wild Beats everywhere!

Then those things (Still don't know the name) show up, and attack everyone. Racking up damage. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!

Olimar's eyes look funny. Hehe.. POP!

Your ship crashes, generating more hate towards Dedede. (Seriously! Dedede is ALWAYS the one being attacked! Just look back to the updates since Dedede was confirmed. He gets hit ALOT. Even eaten by a whatchamacallit.)



Smash Bros.FRIDAYSmash Bros.

Totally not Shadow Bugs.

Wow. UNEXPECTED!! Now all those RETARDS that think you power up using Shadow Bugs (which are CLEARLY used to power Primids, allowing them to move, and kill you to death) can shut up.

Kirby totally wants to cook that banana. 

Think of your Trophy Stand as a Skateboard Deck, and trick it out with stickers. Just like stickers do for your skateboard, they add special skills, such as Launch Resistance. Awesome! But you can't stick 2 stickers ontop of each other, and don't even think about removing one! The sticky backing comes off, forcing you to throw it away, and spend 2 hours chipping away at the residue. But you can move them around after placing them, why not?

His precious Stickers!!

But don't die! Dying makes you lose half your stickers, and fall into a sea of evil Q's!! Poor Kirby.



Smash Bros.OVERALL..Smash Bros.

This week overall gets a..



Out of five. It would have gotten a four, but if I take off a point for a week of no updates, OF COURSE I'M GOING TO TAKE A POINT OFF FOR A DELAY!! Maybe I should give it a Zero...

THIS WEEK'S WINNER IS: Shiek
I don't play Shiek, but it's nice to get a character. Especially for those Shiek mains.

THIS WEEK'S LOSER IS: March 9th.
Seriously. It's not an official update, but it still loses. Epic fail there, Sakurai. Epic fail.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"Your battle against the Subspace Emissary will one of epic fury."
Why this quote? Because it just screams "I AM ERROR." Seriously. Read it again, and you'll notice something's missing..


Join us next week, As Zelda's and Shiek's final smashes are both updated, we finally get some Mario music, and Link's Uncle is confirmed to be playable!

 
 
13 January 2008 @ 11:15 pm

First off, sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was ALMOST DONE and my browser closed >.<

I was gonna give the week a 5, because of Olimar.


Next week, I hope for Captain Falcon. 

 
 
11 January 2008 @ 01:07 pm

 Man, I might have to main Olimar, or atleast Second him. He's awesome!

<Standard Special Move: Pikmin Pluck>
Pluck that Pikmin!

Of course, Pikmin Pluck can only be used on the ground. Olimar pulls a random Pikmin from the ground. You can have up to 6 Pikmin at a time. They have different effects.

RED: High Attack Power, Attacks cause Fire damage, immune to fire.
YELLOW: Higher attack range, Travel in arcs when thrown, Attacks cause electrical damage.
BLUE: Stronger when thrown, harder to kill.
PURPLE: Doesn't fly far when thrown, Slow, High attack power, Slams into enemies instead of latching on.
WHITE: Light and quick, when they latch on to an enemy they cause additional poison damage.

Certain Pikmin are more likely to come out of certain terrain types.

Follow the leader!

You can tell which Pikmin you'll throw next by the order they're lined up in.

"In order to perform a Smash Attack, certain midair attacks, and even throws, you’re going to need Pikmin!"

<Side Special: Pikmin Throw>
Toss 'em!

Throw Pikmin at your opponents! They latch on and cause Damage over time! Except Purple ones. They just slam into them.

<Up Special: Pikmin Chain>
Tether Recovery!

Olimar's Up Special is a tether recovery. Luckily, these kinds of things are edge-seeking, or Olimar players would die. ALOT.

The more Pikmin you have, the longer the chain, and the greater the chance of survival.

<Down Special: Pikmin Order>
How does he whistle through that helmet?

This attack calls Pikmin that have scattered away back to you. It also changes the order of the line.

Olimar seems hard, but just keep trying and you can master him! Oh, and try not to kill off his only means of attack.

They will huant you forever.

THIS UPDATE RECIEVES A..

10 January 2008 @ 02:01 pm

Snake's final smash is finally revealed! Grenade Launcher!

Cell Phone radiation causes Snake to glow. 

Snake calls in a chopper!

GET TO THE CHOPPA!!

Snake leaps into the air!

Kirby tries imitating Snake, but there is no Chopper for Kirby.

Snake grabs a rope ladder from a passing chopper. The camera also zooms in on Snake's butt.

Bye Bye, Bowser.

Snake pulls out a Grenade Launcher! SHOOT THE NOOBLETS!!

Reload.

You get 12 shots. After you shoot 6, Snake takes a moment to reload. But don't shoot too slowly! You'll run out of time! But don't just shoot wildly, make sure to aim.

THIS UPDATE RECIEVES A..

09 January 2008 @ 10:47 am

FINALLY!!! IT'S BEEN TWO AND A HALF MONTHS!! BUT WE FINALLY GET A NEWCOMER!!!! FIIINNNNAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His head is shiney *-*


Olimar is not going to be an easy character to master. Even his smash attacks depend on Pikmin.

Uhm.. What are those Pikmin in the corner doing? O.O

Make sure to keep your Pikmin close! They tend to scatter..

I-Is this thier intro?

Hopefully you can pluck more from the ground with your Down Special or something, otherwise this character will be HARD TO USE.

He's not too big..

I've never played a Pikmin game, so I don't care much about his inclusion. But he's highly requested by the fans! I wonder if this makes other highly requested characters more likely?

Olimar joins the Brawl!

Please note that Olimar is only EIGHT INCHES TALL. So any of you who say "Ridley's too big" SHUT UP BECAUSE THEY CAN EASILY RESIZE HIM, LIKE THEY DID WITH OLIMAR. OKAY!!?!?!

I have a feeling that this is the LAST character to be revealed before release. I just wonder something. How will Kirby work? If Olimar needs Pikmin for his attacks, will his Neutral Special not need a Pikmin? Or will Kirby get some Pikmin of his own?

THIS UPDATE RECIEVES A..

New character. First 5 of this blog.

08 January 2008 @ 09:17 am

Today's update announces ANOTHER returning stadium mode!

Multi-Man Brawl!

It sounds so weird.. I mean, Multi-Man Melee had the triple M thing, but now it's just 2 Ms and a B. Looks like they have no new modes. That's a bit of a dissapointment. I expected some other mode after Cruel, but whatever. Oh, and they're not Polygons, and they're not Wireframes.. Say hello to the Fighting Alloy Team!

Power Ranger Red! 

Red Alloy! According to Sakurai, he's not the leader.

Blue Ranger!

Blue Alloy! She's gentle, but she still participates in kicking your butt.

Yellow Ranger!

Yellow Alloy! I had to go to look up the meaning of Scintillating.

1.animated; vivacious; effervescent: a scintillating personality.
2.witty; brilliantly clever: a scintillating conversationalist; a play full of scintillating dialogue.

His horns are brilliantly clever! Or maybe it's the first one. I don't feel like looking up vivacious or effervescent.

Green Ranger! He used to be evil! And he has a flute!

Green Alloy! This guy is not Kirby.

Mario's too strong! Summon the Megazord!!

100 man brawl! Apparantly, killing them all cleanses the spirit or something. It also unlocks Falco in Melee.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!

Mario & Sonic, Working together to kill the Power Rangers.

2 PLAYER MODE! w00tz! This will make Cruel Brawls easier to get in a kill or two without dying a horrible death.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!

ONLINE CO-OP!?

With Friends doesn't take you straight to the Friend Roster! You've got this nifty menu! And what's this? ONLINE MULTI-MAN BRAWL!!!

Online SSE Co-Op deconfirmed?

I can't wait to get some internet friends to play MMB with me! Cruel Brawl, HERE I COME!

THIS UPDATE RECIEVES A..
333
..OUT OF FIVE.

Something we already know, but it has some nice new features, which saved it from a 1 or a 2.

32 days remaining..

 
 
07 January 2008 @ 01:22 pm

A week without updates taught me to appreciate them all, even Bonsly. Normally, I wouldn't have cared much for this update.

Sakurai gives us 5 more stages returning from Melee!

Yoshi's Island
Yoshi's Island

It returns! Complete with spinny block things and slopes on the sides! I didn't play on this stage much, but it's not bad.

"ACCIDENT!!" - Central Platforms

Corneria
Behold, the Great Fox! Gaze upon it's splendor!

It returns for the 3rd time! Corneria! It has it's same old Melee Background, and it's a pretty even stage. Don't stand on the guns! They'll shoot you and it hurts! Oh, and look out for Arwings.

ZAP!

Onett
No, this does not confirm Ness.

This is one of those stages I played more often. Onett is awesome! Just listen to that music! And see that Meteor glowing in the background! Oh, but watchout for cars. Onett drivers are a bunch of drunks.

Distracted by the car, Wario does not notice the building

Brinstar :(
It returns! D:

Unfortunately, Brinstar makes it's return as well. Complete with rising Acid.

Look! Pokemon Trainer's safe from the acid!

Rainbow Ride (WTF!? It's Cruise!)
RIDE?! IT'S CRUISE, IDIOT!

Rainbow CRUISE makes it's return! An awesome moving stage, that's not a pain in the buttox like Icecicle Mountain! I blame Nate for the incorrect name.

Pit's Up-B is awesome.

Thus ends this update. I only play on 2 frequently, and I play on the rest OCCASIONALY, and I despise Brinstar. I mostly play on it if I pick Random and it lands on it, or if I have to in 1P mode.

THIS UPDATE RECIEVES A..
333
..OUT OF 5.

33 days remaining..

 
 
06 January 2008 @ 12:57 pm

What will we get next week? I'm hoping for a Newcomer *cough*ridley*cough* on the 7th, to fill that empty spot in the characters section. But Captain Falcon would be nice too.

FALCON........................................................................................................................PAUNCH!!!! 

 
 

After an enemy sends you flying really far, it seems like all that’s left is for you to fall.
But you must never give up hope!

With Mario out of the picture, Meta Knight will be the most popular Nintendo character! 

You've been blasted! Just aim for solid ground!

Mario has the fantastic ability to make platforms appear underneath him at will.

This is where you use your mid-air jump!

YAHOO!

Then your Up Special to rise up!

Meta Knight shoulda edge-gaurded.

Whoa, safe at last.

This update taught us how to recover from attacks, and this is why- WAIT A MINUTE! Who switched my notes!? This isn't the greatest update of all time! THIS is the greatest..







Wi-Fi Play

The Dojo's 100th update brought with it the greatest update of all time!

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

"The more distant you are, the worse your connection becomes, and the slower it feels. I apologize, but I hope you understand."

Don't worry Sakurai, I forgive you!

There are Two primary means of connection. With Friends, and With Anyone.

It's hot where Elbow lives.

With Friends is important for those of us with intarweb friends of dewm.

ICONS! w00t

You can change your icon

Send me a short Massage sometime. ; )

You can also send short messages when playing with friends. All you must do is taunt! There are 4 messages (one for each direction on the D Pad) but for some reason, there are only 3 taunts (Up, Down and Side)

"With friends, you can brawl any way you like. And there are other modes besides just free-for-alls."

And then we have the other option.. With Anyone!

"You can also battle with people you don’t know who are looking for brawls. The most important point here is that you will not know each other’s names."

If you encounter someone playing with Bowser that horribly rape and destroy you, it's probably Gimpyfish.

There's no ranking system, so you don't have little donkey holes disconnecting to protect thier precious win record!

DESTROY!!

And while you're waiting for those slow pokes to select thier character and stage, take your anger out on Sandbag!

This update eliminated all fears of having no Wi-Fi from our minds! And also, when I have no one to play with, I can just go battle some random person on the internet, instead of a stupid CPU! :D

This is why Wi-Fi Play is the absolute Greatest Update of all Time.

36 days remaining..

 
 

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary is a robust side-scrolling action game!

ATTACK!!!

SSB is mostly a multiplayer game, but this time around, they've really improved the single player.

KILL THE PRIMIDS!

The storyline isn't overwrought - It's hastened aloung by quick cutscenes.

Characters, GO DEVELOP THEM

SSE emphasises Character Development. Different characters will perservere under the weight of thier personal history, shouldering thier unique burdens.

WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED

They're putting tons of fighting spirit into making this game, and hope we enjoy it. (we will.)

Oh, and it's all included on the same game disk, so rest easy.

Yoshi and Link? Why..?

This update told us how awesome Adventure Mode would be this time around. Supposedly, it's 10 hours long!

This is why, What is the Subspace Emissary? Is the 2nd greatest update of all time.

37 days remaining..

 
 
02 January 2008 @ 02:26 pm

 You can create your own stages this time?! No way. REALLY?! With a feature like that, won’t I be able to play this game forever?!

Beware of Spiky Doom!

Those that enjoy effort, may be able to enjoy this Stage Builder for the rest of thier lives.

Size, Background, and Music

First you pick your stage size, background, and music. (For music, you can only pick from songs you've unlocked, of course)

This is the Edit screen!

From this screen, you pick the different parts, and add them to the stage.

"The controls vary by controller, but each one can do the following:

  • Flip parts left to right
  • Enlarge or shrink parts
  • Zoom in or out on the screen
  • Swap palettes
  • Erase

...Among other things."

CHUCKITY CHUCKITY CHUCK!

Just place parts however you want! (This stage looks really boring, BTW)

Test it and Modify it until you get it just right.

Fearsome!

This stage looks like it may be difficult to K.O on.

Very Scary Ruins

Next, you name it, and add in a little comment. You can also change the music here.

"And I’m happy that this is compatible with SD cards. You don’t have to worry about size, so make as many stages as you like.

Also, if you’ve finished registering someone as both a Wii Friend and a Smash friend, you’ll be able to send custom stages to each other."

Submit..?

THAT'S NOT ALL! You can also submit your stages to Nintendo! They'll take a look at them, and if it's not a penis, they may send it out for others to download!

That's right! Every day, you can download a NEW user submitted stage! Isn't that exciting!?

Today's Stage has lots of Traps.

With a Stage Builder feature, Brawl's replay value skyrockets! Especially with that stage-a-day thing. This is why Stage Builder is..
The 3rd Greatest Update of all Time.

38 days remaining..

 
 

Of course, everyone knew Sonic was in, but this update came as a HUGE suprise to many! (Most people figured Nintendo would wait until closer to the realease to announce Sonic, to build hype)

Brawl is Hedgehog Approved! 

Sonic's his name, Speed's his game!

Clash of the Titans!

But this update wasn't alone, it also had a video; Sonic Joins the Brawl!

Sonic Joins the Brawl was a GREAT video with GREAT music. It shows that Sonic and Mario will somehow be teamed up in Subspace Emissary, and also showed off some of his moves, before the Sonic's Special Moves update.

FIGHT!

This update seriously made my day. I woke up that morning, and completely missed "WARNING: CHALLENGER APPROACHING" then I saw Sonic, and just about exploded with glee. As did several others.

This is why, Sonic / Sonic Joins the Brawl is the 4th greatest update of all time.

39 days remaining..

 
 
31 December 2007 @ 12:07 pm

In this world, Trophies Fight..

What a great update this was! It confirmed that Brawl would have a story, but left us shrouded in mystery..

It'sa me, Mario!

In this world.. Trophies fight..

3.. 2.. 1.. FIGHT!

They know nothing but fighting. Fighting is thier sole reason for existence..

Mario Wins!

But being turned back into a trophy, and being unable to fight.. Is much like death.

Mario be's kind to Kirby

Okay, time to explain what I have in store for next week..

I actually got the idea from some sarcasm I posted on friday..

I'm going to look at a different DOJO update each day, counting down the TOP 5. Doesn't that sound interesting? And we all know I wouldn't have covered any of these yet, because since December 3rd, we've just been getting CRAP! :D

So yeah.. Starts tomorrow, then I'll list them all on saturday.

This week has been moderately good. It started with the AWESOME update..

Overalls Wario! 

Overalls Wario!! Not only fan service to the classic lovers, but it's also AN ALTERNATE COSTUME!! w00tz!

SUPER SAIYAN!! I mean.. SUPER SONIC!!

Next we got Super Sonic! What a great X-Mas update! An E 4 All rehash >.< Sonic flies at super speeds, and has the "Touch of Death" Also, we got Angel Island Zone. Some awesome music.

Trophy Stands

Then we learned all about Trophy Stands! You throw them at weakened enemies, in order to capture them as Trophies! How unique! (And by Unique, I mean Pokemon's done it before, only you can force Pokemon to kill each other)

Coin Launcher

Next, we learned of the Trophy Lottery's replacement.. THE COIN LAUNCHER!! Fight off enemies and collect trophies by firing your hard-earned money at them!

Dragoon

The next day, we learned of The Dragoon. It's divided into 3 pieces. Collect them all to unleash HORRIBLE DEATH!!

Share

On the same day as Dragoon, we learned about Share. *Yawn* BORING.

Also, on that same day we learned of the lack of updates next week.

THIS WEEK RECIEVES A..
333
..OUT OF 5.

A few 4's, but there were some 2's to even it out. 3 works nicely. Now for something NEW!

THIS WEEK'S WINNER IS: Overalls Wario
THIS WEE'S LOSER IS: Share

I thought of something to do next week, despite the lack of Dojo Updates. Check back on Sunday for details!

Let's get the hardest part out of the way first..

"All seven languages of Smash Bros. Dojo will take a year-end holiday break from posting following December 28. We plan to resume posts on January 7.

Have a happy new year." 

We'd BETTER get a freaking awesome update on the 7th. Also, Final Destination Blog will be taking a break for that week too. When there's no Dojo updates, how do I rate them? "Today, I went and browsed through Sonic's character profile! It's old news, but he still gets a 5!" That would be boring.

Now that we've got that over with, Let's move on to Dragoon!

ZOMG

The Dragoon is an interesting item. It's split into 3 parts.

Nose Cone

The Nosecone..

The Hull

The Hull..

The Tail

And the Tail..

Mario looks funny

Collect them all, and the Dragoon is formed! Prepare to aquire target!

TARGET LOCKED

Aim (No idea if this is easy or hard) and FIRE!!

RAMMING SPEED!!

Consider it a one hit K.O.

I can has Dragoon parts?

When you get a part, it appears down at your life. When battling, if you take heavy damage, you drop pieces, much like a smash ball. Try to collect all of them, without dropping any!

Now, onto the final update. SHARE PLZ

SHARE PLZ

Sakurai requests that when we first connect to Wi-Fi, to go to OPTIONS first, and allow Smash Service. You can also turn on or off Spectators here. Smash Service allows your friends and Nintendo to send you Screenshots and Stages.

Screenies!

This is downloaded from Nintendo. Now let's check out stuff from friends.

ALOT of stuff arrived!

Wow! Alot of stuff arrived!

ARGH

ARGH sent you a Screenshot! Yayz!

SSBB

Apparantly, he thinks we can't even wipe ourselves, because he needs a Screenshot to show us how to get into the game. Yeesh.

Dedede is happy.

These are the pictures sent you you by ARGH! Yay!

Send eet!

You can also send multiple data to a friend at once.

THIS UPDATE RECIEVES A..
22
..OUT OF 5.

I personally didn't find this update very interesting. We already knew we could share with our friends, the Dragoon is an ITEM. And interesting item, but an ITEM nonetheless. And The break (FOR NO REASON! Holidays are over, and JAPAN's new year isn't for a few months.) brings it down a bit. Without the break, it still only woulda got a 3.

 The mystery of how to use coins is cleared up! It looks fun too!

Space Invaders need money for laundry!

Behold! The Coin Launcher! Enemies come at you, like in Space Invaders, and you fire money at them!

GET IT!

After you annihilate them, they drop stuff! Trophies and Stickers! Shoot the prize to collect it! This is much more interactive then the Trophy Lottery!

WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!

Look out for missiles! If they hit you, you lose some coins! Looks like this player won't have money for much longer..

Trophies and Stickers!

When you quit, you get a list of prizes you've earned. Hurrah!

"The more you play the other modes, the more coins you’ll earn for the Coin Launcher. You can even earn them in Spectator mode.

When you want even more coins, inviting friends over is your best option. The more people you play with, the more coins you’ll earn."

I wonder how you get money from Spectator mode..?

THE VAULT.

Hey.. From the look of it,Trophies&Stickers is just one section of THE VAULT. What else could go in there? I wonder..

Okay, this update rocks. It's uber.

Goat Dude! 

You can get Subspace Emissary trophies, but you get them in a slightly different way. A way that will add plenty of 1 Player replayability!

It's almost as big as Kirby!

First, you find a Trophy Stand. Apparantly, they're rare. Kirby looks very suprised.

Weaken the Pokemon, Kirby!

First, you must weaken the enemy. Be careful not to kill it by mistake! Here's where your Pokemon skills come in.

Thud!

If it goes well, it will hit with a THUD! And blammo! You've got yourself a trophy!

Gotcha! TowTow was caught!

Don't forget to pick up your new collectable!

Wild Rayquaza appears!

This also works for Bosses. According to Sakurai, you'll be able to fight each boss multiple times, so you can get the trophy.

"Since you can’t get these trophies if you don’t have a trophy stand, pure skill is not enough—it requires a little luck, too."

It looks like this is easiest in Co-Op. Just imaging having to fight without being able to press A, for fear of tossing your Trophy Stand before they're weakened.

Pokedex discriptions are uber!

This is good for people who wish to learn more about the backstory of The Subspace Emissary.

THIS UPDATE RECIEVES A..

But wait! There's important news! Check out these links over at the Super Smash Blog!
