Makes Sense... I also like Cappn' Falcon too.

Yay Capt Olimar, hopefully we will continue to get more characters so Sakurai can show us all of them before they are spoiled

 

[toomstone]

leads me to thinking what will kirby look like? and can you get kirby spawns following you around? still dont like the idea of him being in it but ill deal with it

 

[Attacktix]

ughhh... Olmar. i hated pikman when it came out. Oh well... :sick:

 

[Vdogam3r]

Woah... Wasn't expecting that :-D

I think Olimar was a stroke of genius on Sakurai's part. I personally love the idea of more obscure characters being added.

You're giving sakurai too much credit, i was happy to see this update, but captain olimar was very likely to get in, some people go as far as calling him a shoe-in(he's just so obvious)

I hope that Olimar is the last of the newcomers, if not the las character to be added period. I know that there are a lot of people pulling their hair out over this but I'd rather play with Olimar than with someone like Sora, or even Megaman.

there's gonna be way more characters, sakurai said he won't be that careful around this time, however he still said there will be secret characters in sse, keyword: secret, you hope this, but do you seriously think that's a possibility?

I mean you know god forbid they try something Original here folks! That'll never work right? I mean hell back in Classic, and Melee I NEVER thought jigglypuff would be worth a damn, only to learn MUCH later that suh a seemingly weak character can 1-hit-ko amost anyone if used right.

yup, that's how you balance characters.....nothing special or original

So that goes to show you that there is potential for seemingly stupid and useless characters to be pretty dank when given a chance.

how is jiggly uselss if it can do that 1-hit ko?

I hope that Olimar takes up at least 3 more updates: with a mve set, FSA, and a Stage...maybe even an AT. Anything to keep the number of remaining Brawlers to a minimum.

what does updates have anything to do with how many characters in the game?

The less we have in Quantity , the more we'll have in Quality. And that to me is more important. I guess I'm alone in thinking this.

i'd perfer both quality and quantity, sakurai is a great game designer, and his team are great smash fans...

AND they've been workign on this game for a very long time, more than a year of what it was supposed to be

I just think that obvious candidates like those two (sora and MM) show a lack of creativity on Sakurai's part. Both hailing from series heavy in combat, it's rather easy to design a moveset for those kinds of characters. No real thinking involved here, except on what games to draw all your content from.

they should never have added samus.....what were they thinking!?!!

Now take someone like Olimar, whose main purpose was exploration and puzzle-solving and you have kind of a blank slate. All he could do I'm sure most thought would be throw pikmin around, since that was his main form of attacking in the series. So coming up with a decent, and workable move set for someone like him would be a challenge, and also a chance to use your creative side.

Sakurai created kirby, i'm sure he has a lot of creativity to pass around

I liked the idea of Captain Falcon in the original more than I liked link, since like Olimar, Falcon was out of his element here, he is origionally and in my eyes will always be a racer not a fighter. So playing as him and mastering his moves was an enjoyable experience for me since it gave new insight to a character I never thought I'd see in a fighter. And here Olimar presents the same challenge to me.

so you didn't think a bounty hunter was a fighter?

That is why I'd rather see more like him than to see characters like Sora or MM in the game.

because you like to see creativity? you know how you get more creativity? more characters! The more characters, the more creativity

 

[toomstone]

great post mushy you said it all

 

[LevesqueIsKing]

Sakurai never fails. This is the icing on the cake for me. I'm happy with Brawl now, content to not look at any spoilers from the Japan version.

 

[toomstone]

u will i bet you will it will be forced or you just will no way you can keep on this forum and not

 

[Prince726]

I can't believe they showed a new character

 

[ssbb_lover]

OH SNAP-

Knew he would join the Brawl, only a matter of time. This was pretty predictable.

 

[Ooze33]

I made a prediction last year about since there was one space left in the Newcomers section, it would even out with the veterans. Now that this has happended with Olimar, I seriously doubt anymore characters will be revealed on the site. So no more Captain Falcon?:sad:

 

[toomstone]

just because they arnt revealed doesn't mean they arnt in it>.>

 

[wiifan123]

YEEESSSSSSSSSSS OLIMAR IS IN BRAWL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[toomstone]

my eyes they burn
