Do they happen to beSpace pirates?
No, I've already taken out those. Seriously.
I can't keep track of all these different factions, team-ups, betrayltons, double- and triple- and quadruple-crossings. All I know is that it's awesome and absolutely bonkers and insane that the game keeps adding new characters, new groups, new sides to the conflict, and the conflict itself keeps changing. Everything we've seen in pre-release footage... It seems now like it's only a mere portion of the larger picture. Like knowing only about the Young Link portion of OoT.

Yep. The "story" is a mess, really. But a fun mess.
Any chance you might be able to give us a peak at the following characters:
-
Hades
Pyrrhon
Aliens
And maybe a better look at
Viridi
A photo would suffice.

Seeing yours and mine RER catchphrase avatars makes me think we should all start sporting Pit and Palutena avatars with their different phrases on it.

Uh...what?
- I highly doubt Sakurai "paced Brawl's story" in any major respect. He's got a team, he didn't make the game by himself.
-
Brawl has almost no new villains for ages. The plot for the majority of the game is "traditional Nintendo villains do villainous things." Hell we even think Master Hand is behind it all right up to the end.
- Isn't it likely that KI's voice acting, or even just plain dialogue, is a vast improvement over the storytelling in something like Brawl? Wouldn't you say that if KI had the same plot it does but no dialogue, people wouldn't be terribly impressed by it?
- Does anyone really care about the pacing of Brawl's "plot?" People didn't like that it was a long slog of a game that was essentially required to unlock everything easily, but I don't think anyone really cared much about the story. Compare to this game, where plot is central. The Brawl team knew they were making a story mode for a fighting game, and still managed to beat every other fighting game's plot that came before it, by virtue of its character.

That would be TITS!
A bit less TITS is the fact that I killed my 3ds last week by drowning it in soda :/
I did send it to Nintendos repair service and hope they will fix it
a) at all
b) until friday
Otherwise I will get myself the pink one lol
I could get used to that.
I now realize the "Uprising" in the title refers to EVERYONE (including eleventy billion characters we never knew about).

He worked alongside the person brought to be the writer. So, yes, I'm pretty sure he was very influential in that component - even if not in actually designing stages and such (according to the credits it seems to be mostly outsourced), the general flow came from him.
Huh...
All the ancient minister forces? All the random new bosses that pop up among traditional Nintendo foes? I just think they shouldn't have been thrown right in the beginning, randomly, among classic elements that people actually recognized. There was just no pacing or order to the introductions.
Compare it to this, where the game initially seems to be showing the classic conflict before going in a bunch of random tangents. Brawl should actually have limited itself to Nintendo characters and enemies for some stages, before introducing the whole Subspace army. It'd have done wonders to help it get accepted by the people playing the game.

Like I said before, I'm not talking about the actual "quality" of the story and writing, only the organization and method use to introduce original elements vs classic elements.

Well, you do get Kid Icarus for free if you preorder.
preorder from where?
At this point, just think that March is the new May, and go to buy the console too XD
Amazon, Best Buy or Gamestop.
Dude, med school mid terms are a week from now. It's bad enough already that I post on gaf while studying >_<
Thank you kindly

I believe Rich at IGN confirmed on his Twitter that yes, you can play the multiplayer mode in single-player if you wish, just you and five bots.
Excellent!
I'm wondering if there are team mechanics. I know it has the 3 vs 3 mode, but can it be me and bro VS 4 bots?

No spoilers here, just a little bit of FUNKY music. The music is really well made in this game. Best soundtrack on the console so far, in my opinion.

Dat weapon...
Even based on just the relatively small amount I've heard so far, no arguments from me. The music's fantastic! Only game that may surpass it is Theatrhythm, and that's not exactly a fair comparison.
Chums, can you confirm if the announcement trailer music's in the game?

I just read the last 5 pages.....my god. Damn my left-handedness, I gotta play this game.
Groovy! Also, I can see you've grown quite attached to the Twinbellows Cannon. Don't forget to try the other weapons out!
Btw, what's that battery icon in the upper right corner, by the score? Is that an onscreen indicator of the juice left in your system so you don't have to hit the Home button?
The joyfully triumphant version of the main Kid Icarus theme from the original E3 2010 reveal? I'd like to know this as well.
I didn't think I could be anymore hyped for this game, but I am after that vid. Those sample on the website didn't even scratch the surface.
I think the boss battle theme is an speed up version of the second part of the announcement track.
Link
So hyped.
The Twinbellows battle theme (linked above) is what I think of when I think of this game. I love it. It's a Mitsuda track, right? (Chrono Trigger, etc)
Yeah, that's Mitsuda work. And yes, I too think about that battle theme when thinking about this game. I think it's because of the Medusa trailer.
Edit : Wait, so it's not a generic boss battle theme, but Twinbellows battle theme? So other bosses have other themes? That's awesome.
Don't fund it.
