Mushroomy Kingdom and Masterpieces

Ahh, I apologize for the lack of updates this past week. I've been kind of busy, but I'll be making up for my lost time today.
First update: Mushroomy Kingdom
Though I still do not fully understand the reasoning as to why it's called "Mushroomy," I do know that this new stage is based off of the 1-1 level in the original Mario game on the NES.
Whoa! It's in ruins...
I guess after decades Mario's level is as dead as ever. I think that this level will be an immensely fun side-scrolling level.
Dedede won. Now THAT'S shocking.

Next update: Masterpieces

I think that this is a great idea on Nintendo's part. Prior to getting Brawl, I had always had the idea that I did know much about about some of the characters in it (Pit, Meta Knight, ect), so I thought of the idea of buying the original games that they were in on the VC to get more familiar. Well, I'm not oozing Wii Points out of my eye sockets, so I couldn't get them all, but I think that masterpieces is a great way for me to try out some of these games. What's cool about this, though, is that you can play demos of these original games in Brawl; it doesn't require an internet connection or anything, so that means not a whole lot of long loading sequences.

Mario and Ice Climbers: NES

Overall, as some may accuse this as being a way for Nintendo to promote purchasing VC games, I think it's an excellent idea. I'd love to try out a lil' sample of the origins of some Smash Bros. characters.

March 9th can't come soon enough,

Zelda's Final Smash: Light Arrow

Today's update was a fairly obvious one to come, as we find what Zelda's Light Arrow attack is all about. There's not much to it: Get a bow n' arrow, and shoot a beam of light at whatever unfortunate soul happens to be standing exactly in front of you.

Uh-Oh, she's got the Smash Ball

That's a pretty gigantic bow and arrow O_O

Picka-Twaa! Pit just got owned in the face. With light.

So that pretty much sums up today's update. In my personal opinion, I think that its pretty cool! It must be really hard to control those, judging by how it only travels in one direction. Sakurai says that you can pull of this FS with Shiek, too, the only difference being that whoever you hit goes flailing in a different direction than you would find with Zelda.

Interesting Brawl How-To Video

This lengthy Japanese Brawl how-to video is amazingly cool. Actual game-footage shown, and looks amazing as always. *Curses having to wait an extra month*

How to Play

On the Topic of Spoilers

Nobody likes spoilers

Alright, so I'm sure a lot of you guys are worried about spoilers on the internet. I know a lot of people have already left GT because of fear that the game will be ruined. I just want you guys to know that I will not be posting spoilers on this site.

I'm even moderating the comments so that nothing gets leaked on here. It will be a good while AFTER the Brawl release in which I will be talking about unlockables or whatever. I know once the game comes out in Japan, the internet will be buzzing with every single piece of information you can think of, but just know that this place is safe. In the meantime, I will just be posting about updates and rumors and everything. I hope it'll make this site more enjoyable =D

March 9th can't come soon enough,

Mr. Fíre

Shiek Confirmed!!

Well, Shiek fans, there you have it! Zelda's special down move is her Shiek tranformation! She looks pretty sweet, I must admit. Her moveset pretty much mimics that which was in Brawl, but she looks fiercer then ever. Link's about to get pwned in the face
I love that picture above. If that's what Brawl's visuals are going to be like throughout, then...that would be amazing =D

Oh boy!

This site is looking a lot better than I expected! With the new banner (that I made with Photoshop) it looks...proffessional? Anyways, I'll start with the daily update reviews tomorrow. I hope that this site has a bright future (unlike the last one which lasted 6 hours @_@) Anyways, comment! March 9th can't come soon enough, Mr. Fíre

Welcome!

Hey guys! I just wanted to say welcome to my new site! I decided, this is the final one, no more SmashBrawler. If you're wondering about the other one that I made, well, it decided to be mean to me and not cooperate with my e-Mail. So I decided on this one, and now I know that it will work. Ok, so some of you are wondering, what is the purpose of this site, and why did I take the time to create it? Well, this site is mainly for the people over at GameTalk in the Brawl forum. If you guys want, send me in your friend codes through the comments system. If I get enough people, I will make a post about all of the posts I receive to make friend code exchange much easier. For the time remaining that there is, I will try to do daily updates of the posts from Smashbros.com. When Brawl eventually does come out, I will also be documenting some online battles that I do with GT members, to show how badly I'm getting my butt whooped XD Anyways, I hope you enjoy the site. I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time on it withen the next few weeks. Please comment! March 9th can't come here soon enough, Mr. Fíre
