Youko, well done.
Your voice is solid, no fuzzy recording, and you're very clear in what you're saying.
I think this is a pretty cool idea, and it's obvious that you've put a lot of work into this first addition. It was also comical. I'll definitely be listening to this on the weekends, and discuss my own points of view with you and other members.
Edit:
I agree that Samurai Goroh should've been included as a playable character, at least, he better of been if Black Shadow makes it in instead. But, I'm pretty sure that the character roster is pretty much complete, and characters like Samurai Goroh, who didn't make it into the roster, were at least given some spotlight to even appear in Brawl.
Agreed with Wolf part of the podcast, he's too badass to not be included into the roster. But if he isn't, it'd be best just to leave him out of the game completely. To put him in as an AT would be a missed opportunity to have an awesome character playable, they'd limit his 'awesomeness' to make him an AT.
Bowser "shiny"? I think the correct word for all of us Boozer fans, is kute.
But yes, his appearance on the Dojo was shocking and unexpected, just like Zelda's was. His Giga Bowser Transformation final was just as surprising. I honestly thought that Bowser wasn't going to make it into this game, I don't know why, I just did. Don't get me wrong, he's my main, I just doubted his chances for some reason.
I expect Yoshi and / or Dk to be introduced this week, or at least at E3. I'm dying to see what their new designs will be. My opinion is that Samus and Zamus will be two separate characters, which is agreeing with your theory. It just makes the most sense. The Final Smash transformation from Samus to Zamus is just a stupid idea, and I think we all know why.
Oh dear, you just put all of the Ganon Final Smash ideas to shame. But I can think of a better Final Smash for Ganon in my opinion. To limit the amount of Transformation Final Smashes, why not have Ganon summon the black hole / portal which he does before he attacks Link. Instant kill, but they could balance it out so that there's a range of how far the suck-in distance is. This idea was from another member, I just agree with it.
If Sonic is included in Brawl, I agree that there really isn't any other choice for his Final Smash, than the Super Sonic transformation. "Talk about Chaos Control!" <--- lol, priceless. The idea of the rest of the characters moving in slow-mo, and having Sonic remain in the default speed would work well. I can imagine a character with slow pre-lag such as Bowser (if that remains in this game), trying to preform his F-smash in that speed. Sonic could also have that yellow glow around him, similar to Pikachu's final smash, and just trample over the opponents with the emerald's power.
Bridge of Eldin is almost for-sure banned, but nothing is certain. Although, I could care less. I'm probably not going to go to any tournaments, (unless it's a local one at GameCrazy or something), online play will most likely satisfy me. Bridge of Eldin looks too fun to not play on anyways, and for those who are worried about being side-k.o.'d so easily: Grim Lizard calculated the size, 2 1/2 Final Destinations.
side-k.o.ing shouldn’t be a problem.
If the release date isn't displayed at E3, I seriously wont' be too disappointed. If it takes a while for the developers to make the game as fun and as exciting as it can be, then they could take as long as they please. Obviously it won't take as long as 2009, but 2008 is a date I'd still be satisfied with. But, the release date is expected for 2007, personally.
October 23'rd, nice pick for the release date. If we see Fall 2007 as a release date as E3, then you deserve some internets. We're not completely sure how close the game is to being ready, but that seems like a decent, solid date selection. I was thinking somewhere around Thanksgiving / Christmas.
Dedede is one of the characters that I think will make it into the trailer, if newcomers are shown. If not, definitely some veterans, or at least some characters from the starting roster. I think that the trailer will also shown some game play action from some of the newer characters introduced, such as Bowser, Zelda, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if Yoshi or Dk were introduced this week, to show their game play in the next trailer.
As for helping out with the show, I'd love to send some ideas to you for you to display on your show, maybe I'll get to that later.
Well done Youko. Well done.
