I just hope they didnÂ´t weak the spin THAT much.

The Spin attack was always a bit of a tricky thing, though: It is strong but if it doesnÂ´t hit your opponent has enough time to Smash you...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

yeah, i hope they don't weaken it too much. What can i use that will quickly get opponents of of me (especially characters like Marth who have lots of close-range attacks)? up-b is quick and easy, good enough to send you flying, but it has a huge weak spot and horrible recovery time... Now Link will be very easy to gang up on.

Oh I'll go nuclear if Ness isn't in this. Starmen.net is the ultimate EB fan-site (an incredibly committed group of guys), but I'm not sure they're confirming that Ness is out. He could just as easily be there next to whatever character they use from Mother 3 (Lucas, Flint, whoever)... Surely they must realize that most people outside of Japan will not be able to appreciate the new character from Mother 3, and I would expect them to include Ness to sort of bridge the gap a little...

And why not have more than one EB character in the game? As I've mentioned, Hal Laboratories put out Earthbound, and cared about it enough to include Ness in the very first game, among 11 Nintendo uber-stars. I'd just be rather shocked not to find him in this, that's all. And rather pissed too.

Well there are a couple of problems with that.Â For one thing, Ness and Lucas are pretty much identical characters, and making their movesets differ would be very difficult.Â Another thing is Hal is not making Brawl, it's being made by Sakurai and a team of specialized Nintendo developers.Â Again, I'm not SURE that Ness is out, but there is a chance, and you may want to go ahead and prepare for that chance so that you'll be less disappointed if he is out.

I'll just point out that Ness and Lucas being identical is a type of problem that hasn't actually been problematic in past titles (Fox/Falco, Falcon/Gannondorf, Pikachu/Pichu, Mario/Dr. Mario, and others even). And I didn't know Hal was not developing this... but I don't imagine Nintendo would break that far away from "tradition," if you will, to axe a character that has been in both previous games. I'm certainly not saying it isn't possible that Ness is out, but I am saything that I'm gonna get Sakurai while he's sleeping if he botches this one.Â Oh I'm prepared alright... to go ballistic. Roar!

Prediction: Wii passes 360 in US between July - September 2008. (Wii supply will be the issue to watch, and barring any freak incidents between now and then as well.) - 6/5/08; Wow, came true even earlier. Wii is a monster.

I think it's ridiculous to say that Ness will be gone...

I hate that kid...but he better not be gone! I need someone to beat up on!
