I've made a forum for Brawl.

Sure, it's not out yet for the US, but better to be ready than not, huh? I'm posting it in several forums, so I hope it works out.

Also, Brawl hits one million in less than 2 weeks.

R.O.B the robot is now a playable character in Brawl. Pretty soon, they'll be announcing a character called "Kitchen Sink" :P

Let me re-phrase that... R.O.B has been officially confirmed as an official playable character on the official Smash Bros Brawl website. Official. :P

Anyone else planning to go to a midnight opening? Also I hear Best Buy is sponsoring opening day tournaments (of course none near me, and I'm not good enough to compete with the pros anyways).

... ROB? Of all the characters they could have made playable, they picked ROB?

*shakes head sadly*



Also, heh, opening day might be the best day to play in a Smash Bros tourney, because all the hardcore players are trying to adapt and may be delayed or even lost because it's different than what they're used to ... :p ... though they'll probably ban all items anyway. >_> It's like, what's the point?

Well he is unique. Not a video game character and he is the only robot. To be honest, I'm really surprised they added him before Captain N or Little Mac (or any punch out! character).

Sort of a self-salute to the old days. They should of thrown in the power glove as some sort of an item.

I just see him as better suited to be an assist trophy, rather than a playable character.

*shrug*

I think that new Pokemon character they've got is worse. We've already covered the most famous Pokemans, do we really need another less-famous one?

Personally, I would have liked to have seen a few more 3rd party characters, like some of the cast from the Goemon series, they would fit nicely with the style of Smash. Better than Snake anyway :P

I'm doing the midnight release thing, mostly because I can.

I have to say, I'm not 100% happy with who and what they put in Brawl...
Spoiler: (click to reveal/hide)
Most specifically the fact that Isaac from Golden Sun is only an AT and not a playable character. I know he's not the most famous character or anything...but darn it, I loved that series and I really hoped he'd be playable!
But I can't really in any good conscience complain about it either, it's too much fun to complain about it.

Counting days? Haha, not anymore, I'm counting it by hours now. Huzzah!

The Pokemon trainer's voice is enough to make one want to rip out their own ear drums... or put the TV on mute.

Ugh... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQOEHk9mhbI (I think that is the right link. Youtube is blocked at work.)

I was wondering if that's who that was, when did they slip him in there?

Apparently they snuck him in through the back door, I only just saw video confirmation of his being in the game a day or two ago. I never saw any posts of him on the official site or anything, but there are enough videos and pictures out there to confirm his existence.
