Super Smash Bros. Brawl (spoilers inside!)

Hey, I like the DK Rap. :'( It's a part of my childhood!

Besides, just because they have a new song doesn't mean they won't have the DK Rap as well...

Yeah, I think it might show up as a "My Music" thing.

Controls - Looks like they're doing some interesting stuff here.

Wario: Final Smash - What, it's not the "Atomic Fart" from the original trailer?! (LOL) Anyways, "Wario-Man" looks pretty different and crazy (but what else would you expect from that guy? )!

Events - I never did beat every Event in "Melee" (mainly due to difficulty and junk), but hopefully the inclusion of difficulty levels this time around will help make beating "Brawl's" events easier.

Melee Stages - First of all, I'd like to say...

HECK YEAH, "TEMPLE"!!

Anyways, this is easily my favorite of this week's updates.

We’ve tried to create an exact replica, but there may be a few areas that differ from the last game. I hope you understand.

It looks pretty much the same to me, except for maybe that one column/platform to the right of the path that leads to the underbelly of the level. Hmmm.

Hmm, Sakurai hasn't put up a groundbreaking update for a while. Unless you consider 'widescreen support' groundbreaking (and I, for the record, do not).

Either they've peaked at Sonic and there will be no possible way to even come close to matching that in terms of news...

Or, the rumours are true and they are in fact still in the process of integrating at least one more third-party character into the game.

Still, only two more months before it's released in Japan, so I imagine that they pretty much have completed their character roster and are only choosing to withhold from us on the grounds of being spiteful goons.

DK... DragoKnight! DK... DragoKnight is here!
I suspect that'll be the next update; announcing the DragoKnight rap.

Wednesday's update would've been groan-worthy (shock: you don't play nicely to get the smash ball), and I'm not too sure I like the 'Pity Smash Ball' concept (though I didn't mind the Demon Launcher in Assault, perhaps I'll warm to it), though I do like something that I wasn't aware of before, that players holding the smash ball can actually fumble it away if pummelled enough.
That certainly throws a new level of strategy into things; how long do you hold onto it; Long enough to get the perfect shot, or quickly to avoid losing it? What do you do when someone else grabs it; run for dear life? Or take it to them? Certainly, it's a really good idea.

Of course, there is no X stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but this time, the songs in Smash Bros. aren’t limited only to those series represented by characters and stages. We’ve taken some that are from completely unrelated games.

Silly Sakurai; how 'bout the Balloon Fight and Mach Rider music in Melee? Maybe they're still a SEEEEECRET.

Yeah...I actually did think of that while I made my previous post.
