***What's going on with Smashbros.com?***

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I guess Sakurai took everyone into consideration.Good thing.

 

[Falcolegend]

The second week of updates was better than the first week , the third week was better than the second. So, logically, next week will be even better!

Sweet update!

 

[Zinfandel]

"I guess I have no choice but to implement them all!"

Sakurai, I speak for everyone on smashboards when I say that you could have me if that was what you were itching for.

 

[SSoH]

Gamecube controller ftw. All questions about that were just answered.

 

[Devastlian]

holy crap this is amazing i wanted to scream but the wimote on its side is crazy i also think the game will be released soon becuz he said if i get the chance! could mean that the game will come out before he gets to explain alll the functions in all the different languages

Ya, I guess that means the game'll come before Monday then! W00T!!!

...

/sigh

 

[CutMet]

Just saw this, I was in shock, now all the arguments can cease.Just hope something dumb doesn't happen like "every controller has exclusive moves!"

 

[Sidius]

it was about time Sakurai released this info...wiimote ( sideways ) sounds like it would be fun but like most of u i'll problably just stick to the GC controller....hmmm...i wonder if u'll be able to use all 4 forms of control at one time for 4 player Brawl.

Just imagine a "crazy mode" up to 8 players, using 4 wiimotes and 4 GC controllers. ; won't happen, though.

Very nice, Sakurai, very nice. Still... why didn't you explained a little?

 

[Kelp Plankton]

Best news yet.

Now we don't have to argue over controlstyles.

...

Let the arguments over which one is the best begin!

 

[PDOT]

Best update

Second is Pit's B moves.

I bet there will be some pissed off people when one person tries using the gamecube controller and their moronic friend is using the wiimote/nunchuck jumping around everywhere knocking over **** and getting in the way.

Edit- quoted wrong guy

 

[Caleb Wolfbrand]

This is my favorite update so far. I like how he reccomends the Gamecube controller : )

lmao...so true

 

[Zebesian Pirate]

This really is the best news yet. I'll probably dabble in the new control schemes but I'll almost definitely use the GC controller in the end.

 

[burrito]

Why is this in game modes?

 

[tirkaro]

bout time we got this news. although I'm gonna have a very hard time figuring out which control scheme to use first X<

 

[nesstee]

Why is this in game modes?

............Interesting...o_0

I also like the part where he recommend the GC controller and like almost downplays the rest control methods.

 

[End Game]

Best.update.ever

 

[vericz]

The gamecube controller has pressure sensitive shoulder buttons and the rest don't. Do you guys think this will affect shielding at all??? Maybe the bubble shield we now have will be gone in Brawl?? Also, I think the top 2 controllers will be the classic and the GC. If they use the same control scheme using the C-stick to do a quick smash the only 2 controllers with dual sticks are those 2. Time will tell though.

 

[NukeA6]

Though I'm gonna use the GameCube controller, using other controls is pretty sweet. Thanks Sakurai!

 

[Kereokacola]

Each controller will have its own benefit for a certain player, and all controllers will be created equally, of course. My guess is, with the Nunchuck + Wii Remote, you'll be blocking with the 'B' trigger button in the back. Holding the Wii Remote on its side is a mystery even for me. Maybe blocks will be utilized differently?

 

[LukeFonFabre]

Definitely one of the best updates yet, if not the best so far. Honestly wasn't expecting it anytime soon, that's for sure. It also means I've got 4 controllers already for Brawl, so I'm already set for party action.

And Lol at Sakurai's reason for preferring the GC controller

 

[NintendoWarrior]

Best update!!!! That's what I'm talking about!!!

 

[Evil E.]

Sorry but its just not gonna happen tomro im suspecting another item or a game mode!!

I told you guys were is my award????

 

[Fawriel]

It's good to see you guys happy for once. *grins*

 

[NintendoWarrior]

Which controllers are you guys using? I'm gonna stick with my Wavebird.

 

[Sculelos]

I will probably use the Gamecube controller, although I'll probably try all the control schemes.

 

[Evil E.]

Witch ever control scheme is easier to use

But im kinda alreadi used to the gamecube controller so i just might stick with it

GC For Life!!

 

[petre]

definitely most relieving news yet. i can sleep tonight finally.

EDIT:

Why is this in game modes?

thats really the only place it makes sense. if they showed what the actual controls were, then it would probably go in how to play. its like in tetris DS where they have a seperate mode for using the touch screen to play. i wouldnt be suprised if there was a special melee for using the wii remote, thats like single button mode.

 

[Doggalina]

I'm gonna still use my GC controller, unless, of course, one of the other ones are (somehow) better. I hope they still sell GC controllers, considering my only two Nintendo corded ones (my favorites) have "jiggly" control sticks.

 

[kabloodysun]

This update sucks! I dont want 4 different ways to play! It's like Sakurai cares about us or something. I wish they had a music update instead.

jk

Awesome update! It saves me money and pretty much kinda comfirms the old control scheme of the GC controller, which means old techniques, which means that we might have Brawl tourneys, which means I will probably get mo' money.

 

[Solid_Sneak]

The gamecube controller has pressure sensitive shoulder buttons and the rest don't. Do you guys think this will affect shielding at all??? Maybe the bubble shield we now have will be gone in Brawl??

lawlinurface the classic controller actually doeas have pressure sensative shoulder buttons and is arguably superior to the GC controller.

What do you mean by might?They were going to happen regaurdless.


But yes,todays update was well worth it.

I meant with the whole Online thing, will pros and others still have the MLG and local tourneys. And many people on the boards said they wouldnt like brawl if they had a different control scheme.

 

[Kereokacola]

I'm actually fascinated how the control scheme will work with the Wii Remote tilted on its side, I'm going to try that first. If that doesn't work out for me, I'm going to the Classic Controller.

I'm done with the GameCube controller. Out with the old, and in with the new... well, wait, it's called the Classic Controller, is that an oxy moron?!

 

[lanky_gunner]

i'll try out all 4 schemes at least once, but i probably will end up using the gamecube controllers just cause of familiarity.

today's update...AWESOME! now we know how to we're going to play brawl.

 

[Red Exodus]

Although there isn't much to discuss on this update, I feel it's the best one by far. Now one is left out and we can use which set-up we feel like. This'll probably be the only day with people not biting other people's heads off for disagreeing.

 

[i8waffles612]

This Is By Far The Best Update So Far!!!

Omg This Is Amazing!!!

 

[Cojiro]

I cannot believe people are saying this was the best update, "You must recover" is far better.

...

But seriously, this is great. COMPATIBLE! Everyone possible is happy, so much love for Sakurai right now..

Off Topic (Sort of): Anyone in Australia know where to buy new GCN controllers?

 

[Icetrash]

Off Topic (Sort of): Anyone in Australia know where to buy new GCN controllers?

They dont ship any GC controllers to Australia anymore (well Perth anyway). I asked five different stores and they all said that Australia has stopped the incoming of GC controllers. So I had to settle for a Classic Controller..... .
