Support NeoGAF

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

I'm sure he's reading this thread daily. We're only at page 50 though.

(*We are at page 99*.)

Well, then he should be really happy, because it seems that this game make the unanimity for now. And on GAF this is a very rare thing. Personally, what surprises me more is the "big" step up from Melee for what concern the graphical quality of characters and lights effects. Zelda is a very good example.

Looking at her model makes me want to have another kind of game.
Cooperation of Nintendo and Tecmo please, "Nintendo Xtreme Beach Volleyball", featuing Zelda, Peach and Krystal. :-/

 

[Zerodoppler]

Kirby's final smash is the only one we know about that isn't listed on the site yet, right?

I prefer look REAL girls instead...

This is really one thing that doesn't interest me at all in videogames...

The DoA girls dont look any more real than Zelda (except ears), so stop it :-|
If you dont like DoAXBV as well, well, your pitty

 

[Hcoregamer00]

ZELDA!

Just like Link, Zelda’s design has also changed.
She has a slightly more subdued color scheme.

Her movement capabilities are not that good, but her magic adds power to her physical attacks. There’s a reason why her hands and feet glow, after all.

OMG

I <3 Nintendo, smash bros day 1 confirmed

You don't get the point. Bah, it was not that important after all.

 

[Jiggy]

I don't see how Sheik is auto-out because Zelda's rendered in the TP model. Maybe if we see a shot where Link's hookshot has been replaced by the clawshot, or where he throws water bombs for the sake of making sense if there are any water areas in Delfino Plaza, that idea would have more credibility, but it hasn't happened yet.
That said, I'd prefer for Down + B to be a sword attack (and B to be a bow attack instead of that lame, low-rent, imitation version of "Din's Fire") and for Sheik to be a separate character. I just think a lot of you are speculating too much.

 

[MasterMFauli]

lol wut...

You dont know how sexy Samus looks on that boxart <3

 

[Haly]

New moveset please. Just keep lightning kick, revamp everything else.

 

[Shard]

Glad to see Zelda returning.

 

[MrCheez]

If Zero Suit Samus has indeed replaced Sheik in Brawl I hope she is immediately selectable instead of an in game Samus transformation after she does her Final Smash.

If she is immediately selectable and has Sheik's moveset then I see no reason why us Sheik fans should be worried.

I brought this up a few pages back, but I highly highly doubt ZSSamus will have anything to do with the Final Smash.

Final Smash looks to be some sort of random item. I just can't see an entire character requiring an item to be collected in order to use. And what if you can turn Final Smashes off in the options (which I'm sure you will be able to)? Then it's impossible to play as ZSSamus in those matches?

 

[Nexus Zero]

They should incorporate Farore's Wind some how. Like, maybe Down+B will lay a subtle warp point, and if Zelda gets knocked off her Up+B will teleport her there.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Her hair is brown!!!

 

[ant1532]

Her hair is brown!!!

It's the same.

 

[Diablos54]

I thought Farore's Wind was her Up+B in Meele?

 

[Nintaiyo]

OMG I didn't notice how detailed the audience is!

 

[__Andrea__]

Love it

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I thought Farore's Wind was her Up+B in Meele?

It was.

 

[Nexus Zero]

I thought Farore's Wind was her Up+B in Meele?

Wow. Well there you go.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

I have taken the Twilight Princess Model, and I have adjusted its colours to match the lighting of the SSBB scene, and the hair is clearly a dark brown, compared to a dirty blonde in Twilight Princess...

 

[aeolist]

I'd actually prefer it if they switched up Zeldas specials, made ZS Samus a totally separate character, and gave her the equivalent of Shiek's moves + energy whip/gun.

 

[Jirotrom]

Sheik is a great original character... Overpowered? I don't know... Maybe in professional tournaments, but as a "normal" player I didn't feel she was overpowered at all. She had great speed though and good combos.


I'm in denial too until I see proof

Sheik was definitely top-tier but I was never a fan of her look.

 

[ant1532]

So what, your saying this is wrong? I mean that is the TP model and the hair is clearly brown in the lighting TSA gave it.

I'm going to punch the next person who says the hair color is different. It's the damn lighting in the game.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Model

Twilight Princess Model

Again, it's lighting. When it's bright out, her hair looks lighter. With low key lighting, it looks very dark.

 

[{Mike}]

Cool, though Zelda has and will still be a sucker character in Smash

 

[GSG Flash]

Glad to see Zelda's back, the brunette Zelda from TP is definitely better looking than the blonde one from OOT.

 

[Grecco]

Guess Zelda will be lower tier now. I personally loved Shiek/Zelda.

 

[WastingPenguins]

Guess Zelda will be lower tier now. I personally loved Shiek/Zelda.

Who knows? The character balance changed quite a lot from SSB64 to Melee. Zelda could easily be a much better character if she were faster and her moves were tweaked a bit.

I have a feeling this game will be the most balanced game yet in the series.

 

[zoku88]

Guess Zelda will be lower tier now. I personally loved Shiek/Zelda.

You know, everything about her will prolly change in Brawl. You can't expect characters to be in the same tier as they were before....

 

[Zerodoppler]

What are you talking about? Zelda and Shiek each had their own separate updates back on the Melee page before that game came out. Don't jump to conclusions.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Tiers only matter in high-level play anyway.

 

[Nintaiyo]

Man...I hope to god that when Peach is revealed her hair color stays the same blond color as it has always been. I can't stand this anymore.

 

[bigmakstudios]

they should get Midna in the game with twilight powers if anything.

I'm hoping that Link's vB move will be a wolf transformation, and that Midna will appear from his shadow then.

 

[GSG Flash]

Man...I hope to god that when Peach is revealed her hair color stays the same blond color as it has always been. I can't stand this anymore.

Has peach's character ever changed? I don't think you have to worry about that, Peach is the blonde, Daisy's the brunette.

 

[thefro]

Wasn't until Mario 64 that they really settled on a pure blonde color for Peach's hair.

 

[ant1532]

Daisy is blonde too. Hold on let me take some comparison pics




Just playin

 

[guise]

Zelda's final smash: talk to the hand

 

[ShockingAlberto]

IF PEACH'S HAIR COLOR CHANGES, NINTAIYO IS GOING TO EXPLODE

 

[GSG Flash]

Damn, I completely forgot about the 2D games (actually I never beat them, so that's why I didn't remember) . Also, wasn't Peach a blonde in Mario Kart for the SNES?

Ok. This is ridiculous.

 

[TekunoRobby]

I hope they get rid of Donkey Kong and keep Ganondorf.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Sheik > Zelda

 

[WastingPenguins]

guys if peach's hair isn't blonde i'm just going to KILL MYSELF whos with me?!

 

[Neo Child]

Look, the SSBB Zelda reflects the TP 3D model look, which had browny blonde hair.

Get over it dammit!

Lets all bitch about Peach's new dress and Link's new chain mail huh?

 

[Brobzoid]

You know... when you are taking Peach's character design more seriously than Nintendo, there is something wrong. Calm down.

 

[Firestorm]

Screw it, I'm not reading 5 pages of hair discussion. And I'm sure Sheik's still in. No way they'll take out the best down+b attack (Zelda's) in the game =O Of course keeping Sheik mean we'd also get the worst down+b attack (Sheik's) in the game =(
