King Dedede's Final Smash: Waddle Dee Army

King Dedede's Final Smash looks to be one of the easiest to use. King Dedede summons an army of Waddle Dee's, which scurry across the stage at a much faster speed than usual. Can it be dodged? Of course. But it's probably difficult.













































































Here's an example of a move that'll keep opponents on their toes. Also, there are some Spiky Gordos in the mix, who deliver an especially devastating blow.

Super Smash Flash!

Okay, so it's been around for awhile. However, I only discovered it recently, so I wanted to share. Super Smash Flash is rather like a 16-bit Smash Bros clone, with all-new characters and stages. It's quite impressive.

The Smash Ball, and Final Smashs

Here are some cool screenshots that have just been released of the item called the Smash Ball. This item, after appearing, hovers about the stage until it is repeatedly struck and broken by a player, who absorbs it. As you can imagine, things can get pretty hectic when a Smash Ball appears on screen, with all the players chasing after it and hitting it. When will it break? Who will retrieve the Smash Ball? This is important because when you absorb the Smash Ball you are given the chance to perform your character's Final Smash (an often devestating attack if executed properly,) by pressing the standard special move button. It is possible that you may lose this chance if you are struck by a character before you've performed the move. Your character loses the Smash Ball, and the chase is on again. Check it out.































































































































A new feature has been announced: it's called Pity Final Smash. When a certain point is reached where a player is losing really bad, their character will spawn with a Final Smash, ready to use. The Smash Ball is like any other item, and can be turned off at the Item Switch screen. If you really don't want to use them.

The inclusion of the Smash Ball has added all-new elements of strategy to an already top-notch game. With every Brawl update I want this game more and more, and believe me, that's saying alot!

Old Pokemon

It has been officially announced that some of the Pokemon from previous Smash Bros installments will return for Brawl. Here are the one's that have been announced so far. I've posted the names for those who don't know or have forgotten.


















Suicune


















Lugia


















Entei


















Staryu


















Bellossom


















Ho-Oh


















Wobbuffet


















Togepi


















Snorlax


















Celebi


















This is Mew. Pokemon like Mew and Celebi rarely appear, but when they do there's also a chance they'll drop an item for you.

Smash Friends

Smash Friends are separate from the Wii Friend system, but the concept is similar. Your Smash Friend code is displayed on this screen in the game.



















If you know someones else's number, you can add it to your list.



















As you can see, a friend has been added to the list. You can also post you own picture and comment.



















You can view your friends' status from here. The closer the ball at the top-right side of the roster is to blue, the better the connection is.



















Once you have enough friends, you can host or join a game and play!




















It seems Nintendo has really thought this one out. Right on.

Melee Stages!

Check it out, people. Remember this?

















How about now?
















This is the Hyrule Temple stage from Melee. It has returned!
Sakurai wanted more stages to be in the game, so they're bringing some back. Hyrule Temple is one of them. It's an almost exact replica.

Events Mode

The singleplayer Events mode in Brawl is similar to the one in Melee.

In this mode there are many events, each pitting the player against different enemies in different situations. There are three difficulty settings.

Like I said before, the situations are different for each level. Here it's Mario vs Bowser and King Dedede teamed up.

Here, as Meta Knight, you must knock Kirby off the stage before the platform lands on the Halberd.




















Now you must destroy all the terrain on skyworld.




















Use Yoshi's Egg Lay move to trap both enemies inside eggs, simultaneously.




















Link must battle his shadow in a stamina match.


High scores are recorded, so you can compete for the best difficulty and time.
