From E4All demo:

Ike is good in 4 person Brawl, but is too slow to become a viable figher in 1vs1 matches.

He has a very slow start up.

I can believe the claims.



Around the Network

If I remember correctly, all of Ike's moves were compared to the Falcon Punch, but even slower for the more powerful moves.

It is very easy to KO with a lot of opponents, but will be difficult to fight against just one player.



Hmm, here's an interesting thought about olimar.

I wonder if his Pimin bloom over time? In the game for those that don't know, pimin go from having a leaf on their head to having a flower, pimin with a flower are faster and stronger. Look at the screens, some have leaves, some have buds, some have flowers. I wonder if there is a difference in their abilities and if they bloom over time ala the Wario Waft (that gets stronger the longer you wait to use it). Olimar may have yet another layer of strategy added to him.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

I would assume so.

The plucking screen shows all of them with only leaves, as they start.



All of the info, in one post:

http://brawlcentral.com/whobby_updates.php

# Link tried to FS an opponent who had a Starman and it failed. One time during Kirby's FS, Starmen were launched from the pot. The enemies used the Starmen
and ended up KO'ing Kirby.

# Waddle Dees are better than turnips in terms of knockback and damage. Dedede's Suction spits out fast, but not very far and has low damage.

# Samus cannot missle cancel. Peach can float cancel.

# More reports of Dedede being very slow with fast atacks, but a conflicting report of his Waddle Dees being useful and spammable.

# More PT Impressions: Charizard's has multiple jumps and his Fly is powerful. He flies straight up and burns anything around him. His flamethrower is identical to Bowser's Fire Breath. Squirtle's Water Gun is chargable. Ivysaur is immobile while using Bullet Seed. PT's FInal Smash is very powerful.

# The PictoChat stage sometimes has impenetrable walls and can trap you on a side of the stage.

# DK's Final Smash used correctly can take up 90% of a stage. His FS was originally thought to be ineffective.

# Some people worry that the Smash Ball occurs too much.

# Rumors of Black Charizard. Some suggest a very dark Chrarizard that is near-black.

# PT Impressions: Squirtle has fast attacks, but no reach. Ivysaur is the more balanced of the Pokemon. Charizard is heavy, slow-medium speed, and attacks using claws and tail mostly.

# Pokemon trainer's starting Pokemon is random. So far, it's unconfirmed if the starter can be selectable like Shiek was for Zelda in Melee.

# Dragoon does 42% damage. It KO'd Mario at 0%.

# Lots of Invincibility frames when switching Pokemon.

# Dedede's Suction is beastly because of it's force and strength.

# Ike is being called a noob killer. His Side Special charged can KO Kirby and Meta Knight at 35%. He is being called "too powerful".

# Meta Knight is a good beginner character.

# Ike Impressions: Eruption has a lot of range and can be used in the air. His Final Smash has more range if you "charge it up"?

# Ashley Deconfirmed! She appears in the WarioWare stage. So does 9-Volt and Jimmy.

# Kirby Impressions: Final Cutter has been changed once again. More confirmation of Kirby sucking up items.

# Attendee's Opinion: Pictochat music was bothering.

# Dedede Impressions: Attacks are fast, but hammer is sluggish. As stated before, his Up SPecial has good knockback, but is completely vertical, like Ike's.

# Pokemon Trainer Impressions: Takes about three seconds to change Pokemon. Colors: Red, Green, Blue, and Black & White (original GB version). PT's Pokemon do not have accessories like hats, glasses, ect.

# First reports of an attendee: He writes about Samus, but adds nothing new to what we already knew. You can't turn into ZSamus at the start of the match at all.

# Now that the event is over, expect lots of media, and some new info to be posted from attendees.

# We have the Stage Select Screen image posted on the homepage.

# Conflicting News: Apparently, a Nintendo rep has confirmed that Brawl is coming out on the 24th in Japan, however the Brawl pamphlets handed out show the price of the game, but no release date. (According to the Japanese blog, this seems to frighten him, but I doubt it means a thing.)

# Muddy Mole is an assist trophy. (Not Monty Mole) Muddy Mole is a character from "Mole Mania", a GB game that Sakurai adores.

# People are under the impression that Meta Knight is very good and Dedede is not. (This is only first impressions that are hours old and opinions, keep in mind)

# King Dedede has the same voice as his anime counterpart. (Japanese voice. Not 4kids voice)

# 70-80 minute wait to play a match.

# UPDATE: Female Pokemon Trainer news is confirmed FALSE.

# Ike Victory Pose: "I only fight for those I protect" (May be off due to translation issues)

# Onett impressions: Virtually no changes made.

# PictoChat impressions: Some are negative, some are "better than expected."

# PLAYABLE STAGES:Battlefield, Battleship Halbred, Norfair, Hyrule Temple, Onett, WarioWare, PictoChat, Bridge of Eldin, Delfino Plaza, Yoshi's Island, Smashville, Castle Seige, Pokemon Stadium 2, Skyworld, Lylat Cruise

# Dragoon was seen as an item. There are also a few new items such as a time bomb and spike bomb.

# Classic Controller and Wiimote are available controller choices.

# Meta Knight: No strong attacks. He's the kind of character that relies on multiple hits. FS is very strong and has a wide hitbox. Not much use for gliding. Taunt: Flaps his wings and does a "warp" or some sort.

# Diddy Kong: He's very fast and can "put hurt on you." He has combo attacks, similar to Meta Knight.

# NO MORE DELAYS: According to someone to who asked a Nintendo rep there: Brawl is confirmed to be released on the 24th. (Japan)

# Pokemon Trainer disappears on certain stages. He was not present on Delfino Plaza.

# New Pokemon: Shaymin

# UNCONFIRMED: Pokemon trainer's starting appearance is him running to a stop and taunting.

# Item Selection is ON. Smash Balls can be turned off.

# King Dedede has a pink costume.

# Dedede is a heavy, slow, powerful character. He has 4 mid-air jumps (5 total jumps). His Waddle Dee throwing attack is weak. His Up Special has good knockback.

# Dedede's starting appearance is the Waddle Dee Shrine seen on the Dojo.

# Pokemon Trainer and King Dedede Playable! They appear as "Dedede" and "P. Trainer"

# Confirmed: The Brawl game available is a demo, however, it is a new one.

# Confirmed: Photography IS allowed, but only in certain areas.
