Smash Bro Dojo Updates: What's left?
By Anton. Tuesday, 27. November 2007, 22:09:23
N+ community member Jayvee1473 is one of our bigger smash bros fans, and had alerted us in the past about the possible inclusion of Krystal from Starfox because of the voice actress posting an online resume giving the little detail. He also has informed me that the voice actor David Hayter in an interview may have slip-confirmed that Jigglypuff is back! When asked who he would most like to pummel, he replied with something similar to "probably Jigglypuff" Also when we first showed off the Subspace Emissary section with DK and Diddy, he was also to blame! Jayvee1473 also gave us many of the smash videos found here.
Recently in his own private blog he used mathimagics and a keen eye from past updates and online videos, to craft up a list of what could possibly be left in the remaining weekday Smash Brothers Dojo updates. The first 26 listed are strong beliefs of future updates, while 27-72 are general predictions into the game itself. To read the blog in it's original placement on his own page go here, otherwise "Read More" for the quoted blog post...
What are your predictions? let us know!
------------------------------------------------------
Alright there are 55 updates (11 weeks) as of this posting. It is nearly impossible to predict what Sakurai will post next, but I made a list of 26 updates I think will be updated for sure in the following months. The lists that follow are my predictions for all the other areas, such as characters, items, stages and assist trophies. If any of those things end up being in the game I will be happy Again this is all just speculation on my part:
Game Modes:
-
1. All Star Mode: This was in Melee, and there is no doubt that it will make its return
-
2. Event Mode: Again, this mode was in Melee. Expect to see its return with many new challenges
-
3. Board the Platforms: This mode was in both the 64 and Melee.
-
4. Coin Battle: One of the game modes I havent seen mentioned yet. The mode where you fight and the stronger the attack, the larger amount of coins that fall from your character. The one with the most coins wins
-
5. Race to the finish: I dont recall this one making it to Melee, but it was in the 64 one. I expect it to return to Classic Mode.
-
6. Multiman Melee/ Cruel Melee: Could the fighting polygons or wireframes return in this mode from Melee?
-
7. Kirby Hats: You know they will do this. Its a given.
-
8. Records: They will explain how the new records screen will function this time... maybe with wifi record?
-
9. Starting Roster: Probably the last update before the game comes out. They will say who will be playable as soon as you pop in the disk.
-
10. Mii Intergration: I dont know how miis will be put into this game but theres no doubt they will be in in some fashion.
Stages-
11. Mario Circuit: Confirmed in the second video.
Special Moves
-
12. Zelda: This one will happen eventually and will tell us if Sheik is still part of Zelda.
Final Smash
-
13. Wario: This characters Final Smash hasnt been updated yet on the site
-
14. Zero Suit Samus: Turns back to regular Samus as seen at E for all.
-
15. Snake: This characters Final Smash hasnt been seen yet on this site or in videos
-
16. Sonic: Super Sonic as seen in many videos and his introduction to Smash video
-
17. King Dedede: This characters Final Smash hasnt been seen yet on this site or in videos
-
18. Zelda: This characters Final Smash hasnt been seen yet on this site or in videos
Assist Trophies
-
19. Metroid: Seen at E for all.
-
20. Advance Wars: Seen at E for all.
-
21. Drill Dozer: Seen at E for all.
Items
-
22. Urchin: Seen at E for all.
-
23. Lightning Bolt: Seen at E for all.
-
24. Trampoline: Seen at E for all.
-
25. Deku Nut: Seen at E for all.
-
26. Stop Watch: Seen on the site in an update but no explaination was given for it.
-
27. Soccer Ball: Seen on the site in an update but no explaination was given for it.
Veterans
-
28. Captain Falcon: He will be next. His icon has been shown with Samarai Goroh, and was in both the N64 and Gamecube ones.
-
29. Ness: Up until now doesnt scare me. I truly still believe there is still a chance that the Earthbound hero will be back for one last hurrah. I do believe that Ness and Lucas will be like the Mario and Luigi of Smashes past. I mean, Lucas doesnt have a baseball bat, yo yo, or PK Flash. He has the red snake thing used for recovery, and all his moves are pointed out to be variations of Ness' moves. And with PK starstorm as hid final smash, that leaves room for Ness to have PK Rockin as his. Theres just so much stuff different from Lucas and Ness that I think that both will be in. Also, you can never go wrong with 2 Mother characters. And if worst comes to worst, Ness can be an assist trophy. He will be in the game in some fashion.
-
30. Luigi: He will be back. Thats a given.
-
31. Jigglypuff: Was in both Smashes, and will no doubt be back (also David Hayter confirmed her )
-
32. Ganondorf: Ganondorf will be all new. No more Captain Falcon clone. He will be a slow swordman like Ike. They should definately intergrate moves from the Zelda games, like the fire bats and energy ball.
-
33. Marth: 2nd rep from Fire Emblem and the founder of the series will return.
-
34. Game and Watch: The oddball from Melee will return as playable. Has a greater chance now that the Ice Climbers are playable again.
-
35. Falco: Fox's teammate will return with a modified moveset.
-
36. Mewtwo: Was in Melee, and had moves that were unqiue to him. Expect him to return.
Characters (Newcomers)
-
37. Megaman: The last 3rd party character. Everyone loved the blue bomber back in the NES, so I think out of all the third party characters left, they will get him. It would be a dream come true for someone like me who grew up on Sonic, Mario and Megaman.
-
38. Captain Olimar: The main character from Pikmin could have a very unique moveset with his Pikmin at his size. Nintendo really pushed this series on the Gamecube, so I expect this newcomer to arrive at anytime.
-
39. Animal Crossing Character: Who it will be will remain a mystery until the unveiling. Expect a moveset that has the shovel, fishing pole, and axe.
-
40. King K. Rool: Donkey Kongs main villian. It seems like they are bringing in a villians from all the popular series who already have characters in Smash. So Rool should represent the Donkey Kong series, and have a role in the Subspace Adventure mode.
-
41. Ridley: Samus' main rival. Many people including myself would love to see him as playable in Brawl. Plus the Metroid series really could use another rep.
-
42. Krystal: Has a high chance with the voice actress spilling the beans on doing her voice work on her web site. With the staff from Starfox adventures in hand, she could have a unique moveset with moves from that game.
-
43. Star Wolf: Fox's rival. It was teased in the opening video of Melee that Wolf would be in. But sadly, that never happened. Given Fox and Wolf's long history, its about time they had a showdown on foot instead of in the air. Give him some heavy weapons from Assault and you got yourself a great Star fox rep.
-
44. Wind Waker Link: Young Link will return in the style of Wind Waker. Give him weapons and moves from Wind Waker and he would be a great character who isnt a direct clone of regular Link.
-
45. Geno: Mario's ally in Super Mario RPG. He has many unique moves that he could use from that game. This may be his last chance at being in a playable role in any game, so hopefully he gets his chance.
-
46. Bowser JR: Paintbrush in hand, this character would have a moveset from Super Mario Sunshine. He has been in alot of Mario games lately, so he has a high chance.
-
47. Black Shadow: F-zero needs more reps, so who better then Falcon's main enemy? Make him Big and slow with powerful attacks.
Stages
-
48. Flying Fortress: I think this stage's chances increased with their inclusion in Mario Galaxy. They would be a scrolling level and have stage hazards of Bullet Bills and Canonballs. Along with the classic Mario 3 song, this stage would be a dream come true for me.
-
49. Kirby Stage: Theres too many stages to choose from from the Kirby series, so I hope they pick a cool one!
-
50. Luigis Mansion: I think this one has a high chance. I mean, it appears in every Mario game pretty much as a stage now!
-
51. Bowsers Castle: Now this one I REALLY am hoping for. Classic Bowser level with fireballs, lava, moving platforms... the works! It should have a awesome metal medley of all the Bowser stages. Oh man that would be awesome.
-
52. Mario Galaxy Stage: How cool would this level be? It could be a perfect sphere and you fight around it and the gravity would allow you to stick just like many of the Mario Galazy levels!
-
53. Gangplank Galleon: The classic last stage from Donkey Kong Country. It would be just floating on the seas, showing DK Island and the other locales from the DKC series!
-
54. Green Hill Zone: Sonic's most famous stage. Count on it to be in.
-
55. Bramble Level: I would really like to see this. Have this level be on one good sized platform, and have Brambles be at various spots on the level. Intergrate the bees from DKC and this level would be sweeeet.
-
56. Forest Maze: I could only see this stage if Geno is in. But it would need the music and look the same as the Super Nintendo Classic.
-
57. Megaman Level: If Megaman is in, he is bringing a level with him. What level, there are way too many to choose from. So heres hoping they make a awesome one for the blue bomber!
-
58. Rainbow Road: Probably the most popular stage in Mario kart. They could have it be like the Halberd and Defino Plaza and just have it go around the entire track.
-
58. Final Destination: Tournament player's favorate gathering place. No hazards, no platforms, just fighting. Will definately be back.
Assist Trophies
-
59. Tails/Knuckles: Snake brought a friend with him, so expect Sonic to do the same!
-
60. Dixie Kong: Has a chance of being playable or AT. But they have already shown her trophy in one of the videos.
-
61. Mother/Earthbound Character: I hope they bring Jeff, Paula, Poo, Starman, or any Mother 3 character.
-
62. Balloon Fighter: Could be playable, but I highly doubt it.
-
63. Mach Rider: Same as Balloon Fighter
-
64. Megaman Character: Protoman would be awesome!
-
65. Tingle: He will be in somehow. Please god let it just be as an assist trophy!
-
66. Touch Fuzzy get Dizzy: This would be sweet. You remember these enemies from Yoshis Island? You touch them, and then the stage gets all funky and the music slows down? This would be sweet in smash if they can pull it off!
-
67. Koopalings: The Koopa Kids from Mario 3. They havent been seen in ages, and what better way to bring them back then Smash. Have each one have a magic wand that does something different.
Pokeball Pokemon
-
68. Dialgia
-
69. Palkia
-
70. Gardevoir
-
71. Kyogre: Seen in an official video
-
72. Lucario
