thanks for the praise though Posted by lanky_gunner at September 18, 2007 - 1:38pm | Reply to this
Thanks for the review, egruntz!! The "duo" will not be next week; next week is the last Who's In, but you can expect it the week after that.
And that was colbusman's music he put in, props to him wherever he got it!
...Oh, yeah, and I got pretty solidly owned.
But seriously, how'd you do with it? And how are things looking with the SamuraiPanda project? Anywho, on with the review!
The Rundown:
Sep. 10 Mon. 2007
Munchlax was a disappointing update, if you ask me. He wouldve made an excellent playable character! Plus, what they have him do as a Pokéball is just stupid, which made things even harder on Munchlax supporters. But I guess to every let-down update, theres always something hidden in them that hints something good.
Take for instance, the You Must Recover! update. Wow, weve got to save ourselves, who knew?! Well, who knew that Mario could recover from such a long distance? >.> Its the same thing with this update (only more of a let-down). As you said, we now are confirmed with fourth generation Pokémon appearing in Brawl. Sure we had the Pokémon Stadium update, with the 4th gen. flying type in the background, but that wasnt as clear and intentional as Munchlax was.
Another thing that this update shows is that Sakurai wont completely take sides with the popular character suggestions. Sure hell add some, for the pure pleasure of the fans, but know I can have a little more hope for the little guys (e.g.: my brawl hopefuls).
Still wouldve made an awesome character though >.>

Two item updates in a row? Ugh, just ugh!
What makes it worse is that they werent even normal items, but a Pokéball and an Assist Trophy. That kind of pushed this week further down the drain. But wait, LYN as an Assist Trophy?! TWO disconfirmations in a row?! There is no more drain anymore, now I threw this week in a fiery furnace!
Lyn wouldve made another awesome character for Brawl! Not only is she one of the main lords, but shes a female character, and Smash needs more female characters! Plus. shes just bad-***! But again, theres another hint of good to the update: the whole mothering Roy thing. Though, I dont know if that update really helped Roys chances. It couldve, but who knows?

Dream, tree! Dream! Tree! that got a chuckle out of me.
Its actually good to see a Kirby-related stage thats not all fruity and happy. I just really know what the music will be for that stagebut not that it really matters, with the whole My Music thing. But it doesnt hurt to want to know.
Does Metaknight have a music theme? o_O
Anyways, people have been comparing Mute City to the Halberd? I thought it was Delfino Plaza everyone thought had similarities. But again, that really doesnt matter. The Halberd indeed looks interesting, and Im curious to know if theres any more hazards, or extra space of the level. Itd be so awesome if you could actually go inside the ship!
Overall a good update, but still not enough to counter two horrible ones. And with that, we get yet another tease from Sakurai! Oh manhow I hate those >.>.

(kind of went out of order there, Youko. Lol)
The Ice Climbers look absolutely AMAZING!and I completely agree that their design is by far the most detailed and awesome yet! Also, the pose that they are featured with is just stunning, it just makes you want to go and hug them till they die O.O
Or maybe Im just getting a little too weird.
Ah, the stage for the Ice Climbers
Someones suggested a rather good possibility in the stage discussion, which is Icicle Summit. This stage would actually be relative to the Ice Climbers only game, with the colored blocks and probably some cameos such as the vulture. Itd be a good stage, but only as long as it doesnt scroll again! I mean, Rumble Falls is quite a letdown of a stage already!
I actually thought that the screens we got from Sakurai were the best displayed for any other character update that weve got to date. We get their awesome-looking pose, a hint on how their footstool jump will work, return of the blizzard special, and another taunt? Many have speculated that since this taunt is so similar to the victory pose which was in Melee, that the characters might be announced the winner on the actual stage they were just fighting on, instead of some dark void. That is completely awesome in my opinion.
Oh and, yet again, weve received another tease from our beloved Sakurai.

Not much to say about Madness Melee. I thought it was a rather awesome update, and its much more simple and awesome than the special mode weve received from Melee. And, mainly because of the Heave / Light gravity option
Camera mode was a waste in Melee? Thats how most of the fan-made shows such as Smashtasm were made. Unless they use a different mode constructed by AR that Im not aware of. Also, it was just fun to save some awesome poses and fight screens onto your memory card. Recently I took a look at the ones that I have stored there from a year ago:
Green G&W with turtle out, next to the Ternima Great Bay turtle.
And just other fun crap like that. [/longrant]
Awesome Rundown this week, nice job Youko!
-------------------------------------------------------------
O.O and holy crap! Youko + SamuraiPanda =

Show Yourself:
OH.MY.GAWD.WHO.IS.THAT.SEXY.BEAST?!
What a sexy voice! More awesome than Youkos, I reckon! Sex?
(no script, people ;o)
Brawl Viewpoint:
Sweet, colbusman!
Who put that awesome music in? o.O
Although theres not much to comment on what you actually said, you did an excellent job with this viewpoint! You were very articulate and enthusiastic, and not just some mono-tone. Again, AWESOME music! Fit so well with your viewpoint dang! >.>
This was my favorite Brawl Viewpoint, just to let you know.
EXCELLENT job!
