Oh no! Not Marsh! ;-;

who...the...f??  SWEET!

Another sword guy!  I'm happy; i like guys with swords. 

I just hope Link and Marth's moves haven't changed much or I'm screwed if I ever play this.

Dude, you must suck at SSB. Never use characters with swords, it makes to play like a wuss.

Uhh....I'm pretty sure Ike and Marsh are two different people, because Marsh was in a Japanese Fire Emblem, and I'm pretty sure Ike was in Path of Radiance.

Anyway, don't be so critical.

No, I'm really good with those two.  I don't play often (TV-family issues) so I don't have much experience compared to others, but when I do play I'm pretty good with them.  I can't use many of the other characters...I'm pretty good with Sheik, Kirby, Pikachu, Fox, and maybe Mario.  I most likely can't last a minute against most of you, I'll admit, but then again, like I said, I can't play nearly as often as I'd like.  Hopefully once I get this PCI card troubleshot I can get back into it and be able to play via my computer.

And don't diss swords.  Swords are cool.

Well, it shows more skill if you can punch someone in the face than use a sword to poke them 4 feet away.

That's opinion, man.

     I only use sword types, because they're more variable with their strengths. I like Marth and Roy, because you have more options with each attack. Left and right B give you LOADS of different patterns you can break into, plus they have that counter ability which works even against attacks like green missile.

     Besides, there is no real "skill" in a game like Smash Brothers anyway, its all timing and remembering which two buttons to mash.  (part of the reason I don't play the game much.)

     I hope they solved some of the problems that I found in Melee. Like, if you charge a smash, your opponent (if they're worth anything) can see what you're doing and get around it every time. They should make it so like, if you change which direction you're holding while you charge, you switch to a different smash, so you can adapt to your opponent not being a total etard and moving around a little. In brawl I hope they change a few things too. For instance, instead of having left and right A/B be the same attack, make it so if for instance, you are facing right, and use left A/B you get a seperate attack. And make it so you can do combos, so when you do like, right+B right +A you get a different attack then just hitting right+A.

I always use mario, nobody else.

So true...it's all opinion and who you prefer to fight with.  My friend cannot use close combat characters to save his life, he always uses guys like Fox or Samus that have ranged attacks.  So handy that I can go in with a sword (while maintaining distance with that "4 feet away") and smash his face.  Love the countering ability but hate how it doesn't really block attacks like Fire Flower (but I guess that's what the shield is for).  And true, it's not mainly skill.  You can button-mash if an enemy comes close and still come out on top as opposed to knowing what you're doing.

I think that all (or at least more than half, maybe two-thirds) of the characters should be able to "carry" their charge with them, like Samus or DK or Mewtwo can.  Although it is kinda fun to try to time Roy's charge attack against Master Hand and see if you can hit him with the full charge when he comes at you. 
And yes, they need a wider variety of attack and attack combos.  SSBM had quite a few but after a while you start to wish there were more to use. 

If I ever get enough money to buy a wii (after setting aside most of it for college...) I'm gonna be in heaven with this game.  I wanna use Link's Triforce attack so badly...

BTW does anyone know what the full cast list of characters is?  Or is everyone finding out in bits and pieces as more info is leaked/given away?

Nope, the  only people who know is Nintendo.
Jut check the character list on smashbros.com, I hope there are going to be tons of players! 

Me too, a much wider selection would be very welcome.

I hope there's a ton more new items than just the Smash orb, banana skin, and cracker launcher.  I'm sure there are but they'd better be really good.  And I hope that they have far more Pokemon available from Pokeballs.  I kinda wanted to see Meganium or Feraligatr or other evolutions other than Venusaur or Charizard...maybe even Eevee (random evolution after a few seconds), Raichu, some ghosts, or Gyarados. 

Dang it, talking about this game only makes the want to play even worse...

Yeah.

New stage: (well, the one from the trailer)

CASTLE SIEGE!!

*jaw drops to floor and falls off*

...

*too stunned to speak*

what game is that from?  Is that Hyrule Castle, or something from Fire Emblem?

Fire Emblem.

Im gonna miss Marth and Roy, but Ike looks pretty cool.

Miss?  What, are they not in SSBB?!?!?  I thought all SSBM characters were coming back.

Ike had the only english game of the three. BUT IKE FAILS FOR BEING 3D.
2d fire emblems ftw

I always use Samus, but those ranged attacks SUCK. Who the hell has the time to fire a missile or charge a shot? I only use her fists, and sometimes I use Capitan Falcon because they are both the same.

THAT'S ANOTHER THING.

     I don't want them to just re-use move sets for different characters! Gannondorf sucked in melee, because he used a speed fighter's move set, without the speed! He had crazy power, but you never got to use it, and it made him a push-over.

     To be perfectly honest, I think brawl would have been awesome even if they hadn't added any new characters, and just made sure that each character had a unique move set.

I agree, but I like the new characters....

New characters yes, each has own moves, yes, no new chars but differnt moves, no.  True it'd be really fun with the orignals with their own moves, but I like variety.  Kinda nice to play as another character once in a while.

**** I WANNA PLAY THIS!!!  Every time I talk about it it's like torture!  And these vids and screens are killing me...oh well...guess I'll offer it up...
*waits 5 minutes*
**** I WANNA PLAY!!!!  I just hope my first two months of this new job can cover a Wii and Brawl.

YES, SOMEONE WHO AGREES

Im so happy about that control scheme, Im going to be able to play 4p without buying 2 more remotes and 2 more nunchucks.

Oh I wasn't saying I don't WANT new characters. I totally do. I'm just saying, even if they weren't there, y'know?

oh...I see.  Yeah I gets whatcha means.

Know what I want to see in an SSB game?  A possibility for a four-on-four battle: up to four humans versus a team of four CPs, or one person versus seven CPs, or just an all-out brawl.  The next installment in the line should definitely have that.  And an "appearance changer" in the character select screen, where characters can have their looks, not just colors, changed (example: samus gets a Phazon suit or the Light suit; mewtwo gets his armor from the first movie, etc) but their stats stay the same.

But this game still looks good...man I wanna play as Link so badly...he looks awesome

Okay, i gotta stop talking about this game before I lose my mind with the burning desire to play...

Yeah...I did understand, but I was saying regardless, I wanted new characters.
