SSBB Updates Nov. 27 Tue. 07

I'm gonna skip intros today and go strait to the updates! Here they r!

Game Modes

Nov. 27 Tue. 2007

Widescreen Support

This title, like most Wii titles, supports widescreen display. In other words, you can enjoy the game with full display across televisions with wider screens, too.

This is standard display.

This is widescreen display.

The border off the screen that cues a KO is the same for both. Choose the display mode that matches the TV you have at home.

But some people may not know if they have a normal TV or widescreen TV, and may not even know what difficult terminology like 4:3 or 16:9 means. Right? Who knows all that stuff?

So, all you have to do is check the circle that appears in the background on the screen where you choose your display setting.

This is the correct standard ratio.

This is the correct widescreen ratio.

The two shots above... Wrong.

Being able to just look at the image and know if you got your settings right is pretty huge, huh?

Ah, yes. If your television has screen-size settings called Wide and Full, set your TV to Full. If you choose Wide, there is a chance the image may be shifted toward the center of the screen.

There was also a Music update but for some reaso I can't post it so here's a link,http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/index.html

SSBB Updates Nov. 29 Mon. 07

I thought that today's updates were pretty cool I like it! So go ahead and lok at it and u can comment too! :D

Game Modes

Nov. 26 Mon. 2007

Controls

If you use the Controls function under Options, you can assign controls to any button configuration you like.

screenshot

First, input a name.

What's important to know is that button configurations must be tied to a specific name. Once you do that, any time you choose that name afterward, you'll automatically play with the button settings you chose.

One name can handle controls for four controllers.

screenshot

Even a GameCube Controller!

screenshot

Even an NES-****Wii Remote!

screenshot

Even a Clasic Controller!

screenshot

Even the Nunchuk!

...Huh? What's that thing that says "Shake Smash" under Nunchuk?

With this function, you just shake the Wii Remote to do a Smash Attack in the direction you shook it. It's a little bonus we added.

Also, if you turn Tap Jump off, you can cut the jump function out of the up direction on the Control Stick. This means it's easier to do an up attack without jumping into the air. Use whichever way you prefer.

screenshot

Then try it out!

Do it to your heart's content. Try to find the perfect button combination!

But, if you decide to play Smash at a friend's house, your button configuration naturally won't be there. And trying to set it up all over again is sort of a pain.

I didn't miss this detail, though.

screenshot

Press the + Button on the name list to open the menu.

When the menu screen pops up, press and hold both the 1 Button and the 2 Button. After a moment, your name will be saved to the Wii Remote. Of course, you can expect your control settings to carry over along with your name!

screenshot

Button settings are transferred by way of the Wii Remote.

Pack your name into your Wii Remote and transfer it the Wii at your friend's house. Then choose that name to play with your button configuration.

Wow. I hate to say it, but we really have thought of everything.

See ya tomarrow! ~SteveXLR~

SSBB Updates Nov. 23 Fri. 07 Part 2 of 2

Heres the second part of todays updates! :D But is nothing new that hasn't been befor in the other smash bro. games. O! and don't forget to comment! :D

How to Play

Nov. 23 Fri. 2007

Charged Special Moves

Mastering the chargeable subset of special moves is important.

Take the following moves, for example.

screenshot

Link's Standard Special Move: The Hero's Bow

screenshot

Pikachu's Side Special Move: Skull Bash

These moves can be charged up by holding down the special-move button, increasing both speed and power. If you press the button down firmly and then release, you'll unleash the move at full strength! When you first try out a character you aren't familiar with, this should be the first thing you try.

But, there are also some moves that continue charging even after you release the button... Huh???

screenshot

DK's Standard Special Move: Giant Punch

screenshot

Samus's Standard Special Move: Charge Shot

...among others.

For these moves, when you press the special-move button again, it unleashes the move at the power level you charged it to.

Also, with these moves, you can move around while charged by charging the move to the maximum limit or by pressing the shield button to cancel the charge.

screenshot

Look! Smoke shoots out from his head when he's reached maximum charge!

Do your best to build up the maximum charge, then unleash it at just the right moment! These are superimportant techniques for characters like DK and Samus. Don't forget them.

SSBB Updates Nov. 23 Fri. 07 Part 1 of 2

Today's update was a double!But I'll be posting it in two parts just cuz I feel like it!So here it is!

Characters

Nov. 23 Fri. 2007

Lucas: Final Smash

Lucas's Final Smash is PK Starstorm! It's a move in which he unleashes a rapid barrage of meteorlike PSI power.

screenshot

After a fierce battle, he gets the Smash Ball!

screenshot

P...K....

screenshot

STARRRRRRRRSTORRRRRRRRRM!

As the star storm continues, the tension increases. They all rain down at once.

screenshot

Can you possibly escape it?!

It may be that it's less advantageous on larger stages and more advantageous on smaller ones. There are a variety of moves like this that have clear advantages and disadvantages depending on the terrain.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry I forgot to post this this morning! :? But here it is! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! Hope all of u guys out there have a good one! Happy Thanksgiving! :D :)

Saki Amamiya

Saki Amamiya

Saki Amamiya appears from Sin & Punishment: Successor to the Earth! This title is currently available via the Virtual Console.

screenshot

Saki stands on solid ground!

He uses his weapon, the Cannon Sword, which combines a sword and a gun into one to slice and shoot!

screenshot

He cuts repeatedly without mercy!

screenshot

And shows off his magnificent jump!

screenshot

Take this!!

As with the original title, he speaks in English.

He rivals just about any main character. There were many requests from users for his inclusion, and he IS pretty cool, so I did what I could to include him. After all, this game does let you enjoy a dream cast of supporting characters!

screenshot

H-he has absolutely no problem fitting in!

SSBB Updates!

From now till the launch of the SSBB Union I'm going to post the updates from the Smash Bros. Dojo! but once the SSBB Union is up-and-running I'll post it there. So here's today's updates.

Nov. 21 d. 2007

Color Changes

You can change the color of your character by pressing buttons on the character-selection screen!

This is one of the many joys of Smash. This time, each character has about six different color variations.

screenshot

We've added Fire Mario to the selection.

screenshot

He's white! Is this Yeti DK?

screenshot

What's this?! Dark Link?!

screenshot

The Fusion Suit is a must.

screenshot

The Dark Fox. That's pretty cool.

screenshot

Th-those... I've seen those before somewhere...

screenshot

This is the Zelda of old.

screenshot

Golden colors and fallen angel colors.

screenshot

Hmm... These are the colors of an ordinary soldier.

screenshot

Snake changed his camouflage!

The end result is a great wealth of varieties, so I hope you'll all find your favorite color combinations.
