I'm surprised Z hasn't updated this lately. Though today's update was just a video of a peeved off DK (a filler "update" for lack of a better term), yesterday's was a bit more notable. For one, the 21st icon, and thus series, was revealed... IT IS... The Nintendo DS *WHA? * Sort of a disappointment, if you ask me, but the 21st icon was of a Nintendo DS, and it featured one of the stages that will be playable in the game, based off PictoChat. Only some special items, trophies, and a stage I think can come from the "Pictochat" series, as opposed to characters or assist trophies. Seems like sort of a waste of an icon (an icon that could've been a palm tree and represented...) I would've hoped each of the icons would represent some sort of game series featured substantially in the SSB Brawl, with each of its own items, stages, characters, and assists featured, and not just a handful of items, smatterings, and one stage in the game. I don't think you can call PictoChat a series in the first place anyway, but what do I know... So this leaves 13, 19, and 22 left unrevealed. My best guess are they will be Game N Watch and 2 Japan only characters, though my personal preference would be for them to be Game N Watch, ST, and Mega Man...

Oh hello did not notice that there was an icon for that. Probably because there shouldn't be one for something that minimal. D:

CC: I think it`t not really a "waste" of an Icon. I mean, it´s not like there´s a Nintendo DS character... (Nintendogz? NintenCatz?) But yeah... it could've been a Palm tree. btw, I loved that stage. XD And today's update was... kinda pointless... After two weeks of awesome updates (two weeks ago) the updates these days look kinda lame... Maybe it's just me...

It's filler, as I said before, until new stuff is finally put in the game and the release date is close enough that Sakurei wants to release more insider details. I don't expect any really good major updates until closer to Thanksgiving, just probably a bunch more final smash moves, little tweaks and additions made *if you push the left and right buttons, Mario does THIS!*. So, for awhile, I'm not expecting much, but I hope I'm wrong...

So today's update was the "Smash The Targets" mini game that has always been a SSB tradition. Everyone was probably expecting it to return although it look even better this time. 5 different levels of difficulty sounds awesome ;D

What I actually like about the update was the fact that you can now save the replays! I was wishing for something like this! Now I save it to my SD card, and it'll be piece of cake to upload em videos. XD (hoping it saves them in a friendly format such as MPG) Break the Targets..? Yeah, that was cool too. Even though we all knew it'd be back. What would really be news is if the classic BOARD THE PLATFORMS was updated instead.

I think it'd be AVI if anything, but MPG is the next option I think it will be. Mainly because I think those are only two video formats that can play off an SD card in the Photo Channel.

Dedede is confirmed. Three Kirby characters in. I hope for no more since that's a lot. Sakurai made Kirby though, so meh.

I've gotta say that I'm unimpressed by King Dedede... That's 3 Kirby characters...which seems a bit much for me. Psh.

I'm also sorta on the border on this one. I was shocked to see a new character entering, praying for Mike or another new series, but seeing another Kirby character dropped my excitement level... Someone should, if/when Mike or ST gets in SSBB, make a banner or sign or something to hang on the forum's front page *don't ask me exactly how you'd hang it there, lol*, saying "Congrats ST" or "Congrats Mike" or "3 CHEERS for Mike" or something like that. It'd be only appropriate...

I made a Retro sig celebrating the return of the Ice Climbers (and bashing some of the popular characters that didn't make it in) So I'm definitely making one if Mike shows up as a playable. Sometimes I get bad thoughts, about how very underrated this game is... and ask myself if they would even make Mike an Assist Trophy... Two months back, Dedede was on my Top 10 most wanted characters for Brawl. These last few days he's dropped to number 15 I think... He's not so great anymore. I'm just glad for the Kirby fans, but now we REALLY need some Retro characters. The "fans" have been pleased enough (Sonic, Dedede,...) , so I'll put my bet that next character's DEFINITELY a retro character (be he Mr. Game and Watch, or a newcomer) And with him... a new icon. O,O

When I saw King Dedede being confirmed, it creeped me out. I also looked back at the list of characters that were mentioned more than once in the SSBB poll, hoping that SSBB will also include DeMille from Tomato Adventure (right-side of my sig banner), Skapon (Joy Mech Fight) and Takamaru (Nazo no Murasame-jö).
I'm also hoping for some characters that weren't mentioned in the SSBB poll, like Stafy from the Densetsu no Stafy series (left-side of my sig banner) and Mike Jones (StarTropics series).

Yeaah.. Takamaru has replaced Little Mac in my list. (Little Mac was #4) Who would now happen to be #3 since Sonic already got in (and he was the former 3rd XD) He could be an AWESOME character, so don't go degrading him to an Assist Trophy, Sakurai! He has sword attacks, shurikens, cloaking device, super Lightning attack move (could be his Final Smash) and upgraded attacks that fire in many directions. He's by all means Playable Character material! Just like Mike, lol.

My summary on today's update? If ST doesn't get a stage or music, screw Nintendo, we'll do it on our own. We'll use our own ST music, do our own things, and we'll all submit them to Nintendo every day until they wake up and focus on ST again... WOOHOO! ;D

The idea of the stage builder is better than Dedede...I'll say that much. Perhaps a tropical-esque themed stage might be possible? Who knows...
