Even More Brawl Info

[Shoko]

This is from Brawl Central:

These were some pieces of information we found on Japanese forums today. Because it mentions a quote from Sakurai, we believe it must be from a publication, perhaps the upcoming Famitsu Weekly, coming out in Japan today. Until we get actual magazine scans, we cannot prove this information is indeed from Famitsu.

Starting Roster is 23. No new characters are mentioned, so this 23 is everyone on the Dojo, including Sheik and Zero Suit Samus.
Sakurai: "Pikmin & Olimar are geared towards advanced players."
You can break open Smash Balls with items, AT's and Pokemon.
Ike and Dedede's forward smash attacks are insane.
Zelda's heel (forward air) has been buffed.
Pokemon get tired after 2 minutes, even if you use special moves. No wonder we never knew about the stamina, since PT was only played in 2 minute time matches, if this is true. It's unknown what they mean by "tired".

We'll keep you posted. Until then, feel free to discuss this and other breaking news in our forums.

If this is all true, it would most likely mean there are a lot of characters to unlock, since it claimed that the starting roster is 23 characters.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I wonder how powerful Zelda's F-air is now. Must be deadly.:yesnod:

 

[neveragain]

how cool would it be if there were 17 unlockables.

I like the fact that you can use items and such to break open the Smash Ball. This most likely means that you can shoot projectiles to break them. (ex. Samus's missles, Fox's gun, etc.)

23 starting characters... well if Melee had 14 starters and ended with 25...that would be an 11 player increase. An 11 player increase from the starting roster to final roster, or roughly a 79% increase from 14 to 25. A 79% increase from 23 would be about 41 characters.

(Kind of a worthless satistic)

Another one:

There was a 50% increase from 8 to 12 Fighters in the original. A 50% increase. So, if you build another 29% increase from the 79%.. that would be 108%. So, roughly 48 characters.

Or you could just say they'll double it again. So.. About 50..

Or you could go with that they'll be another 13 character increase of total characters which would make 38.. or you could believe the 11 increase. So.. 36..

/Random worthless satistics over

Thanks for the numbers nic7 :lol:

Starting roster should be good at least, maybe we will see more than 40 characters?

 

[mushroomedmario]

i hope so^


i've always guess about 45 since the start

 

[JLU51396]

I'm guessing 44, I've added it up a couple times and went with 44.

It's hard to tell
Hopefully downloadable content will give us more

hey, the more the merrier! There's always room for more brawlers. But 40-50 seems almost too good to be true.
