Smash Bros. Weekly #1

September 2nd, 2007

Welcome to the first Smash Bros. Weekly! Now, for the updates…

                  

                  

Better get Squirtle in here...

                  

When you eat this, you spontaneously combust and start to shoot fireballs out of your mouth. While this is happening, you can attack like normal. Now, I wonder how this item is going to work for Bowser and Charizard…

                  

Sakurai Says: I’m not sure if it’s painful or fun.

                  

                  

This How to Play update is about special attacks. Now normally, How to Play updates are a little boring. However, we got a bonus with this one: Meta Knight’s special attacks!

                  

No one can match my superb dance moves!

                  

Weird how they revealed his special attacks before putting his profile up. Maybe he is a secret character…

                  

Sakurai Says: Many of these do unusual things, like reflect enemy attacks.

                  

  • Tuesday’s Second Update: Andross

                  

The biggest Assist Trophy yet! This creepy-looking floating head quickly moves to the back of the stage and spits polygonal panels at the stage! Interesting to note that they used his original form as an Assist Trophy. Scary monkey-head Andross as a boss in Adventure mode, perhaps?

                  

Do NOT try to eat the pannels!

                  

Sakurai Says: Um, what am I supposed to call these things, anyway?

                  

                  

We learn here that each Pokémon has only three special moves each. (The Down Special being Pokémon Change, which allows you to switch the Pokémon you are currently playing as) One thing that I would like to point out though is that Ivysaur doesn’t have a third jump.

                  

It can grab the edge with its whip! Or Kirby's foot. Whatever floats your boat.

                  

His Up Special, Vine Whip, grabs the edge of the stage (Much like Zero Suit Samus’ unnamed Up Special)

                  

Sakurai Says: Is this the turtle’s so-called shell?

                  

                  

This is another interesting How to Play. When some characters do a midair jump, they can glide in one direction. You can’t turn around, and if you get hit, you’ll fall. Not much else to say on this one.

                  

I knew we should have saved money for airplane tickets!

                  

Sakurai Says: They… They’re really flying!

                  

  

Wow. This is the most interesting stage so far. For those of you that play WarioWare games, you know exactly what’s going to happen here.

                  

Donkey Kong has the right idea.

                  

Yes, the whole stage transforms into a microgame every five seconds! If you complete the microgame’s challenge (Example: Don’t get hit by arrows) you will be rewarded. Maybe an item? Maybe you get to skip the next Microgame? Only time will tell us!

                  

Sakurai Says: Wh-what the heck is this? What is going on? What kind of joke is this?

                  

See you next week, same time, same website!
