My head's blowing up over this game! The daily updates on the official site are brilliant;
Remember how many tropies there were in the Cube version? It was like having a huge collection of Nintendo figures - now the tropies actually aid you in a fight!
Like this Torty
I love how the game saves each player's control preferenses under his/her username on the character select screen. Also the way you can use any Wii control option to play the game (remote (sideways), remote+nunchuk, Cube Pad or Classic Controller) - this is gonna be epic stuff!
AND SAMURAI GORO IS SELECTABLE!!! 
It broke my heart when I read today's update properly, and realised Goro was only an assist trophy
But yeah, there's no way I'm not buying this. I still love playing Melee/DX, 5 years after I bought it..
Aw man - I thought he was a full-on character, I didnt read the last paragraph! XD
It's all good though - Bio Rex trophy FTW!!1
- plus it's guaranteed we'll still have ffFFFALCONNNnn PPAAARRRNNNCCHHH!!!11 to play with!
This game cant come out soon enough ^^
________________________________
YESS!
Smash Bros on the GC was one of my most played games. I only had 3 Trophies left to collect on that, and they were the hardest ones to get, can't remember the criteria but after 2 years of playing...Defeated. >_<;
The thing that they have not even mentioned yet is the single player "Adventure". On the GC version, they had you running platform style through each of the characters theme worlds using the Smash Bros platforming\fight Engine. Now...I know I will probably setting myself to get uber dissapointed, but imagine if they used actual area using the actual game engines for characters in adventure mode. Don't know how Mario in a 3rd Person PRIME Samus suit will work, or Kirby driving around Mute City...xD But that's not my job! xD
I'm sure it will be amazing whatever they come up with though. Oh...oh...OH...!1111111111
WHAT?! That is a PERFECT FIT! TOO PERFECT! Please be true! LOL
These Assist characters have just ramped up the roster x100! All the characters that won't make it onto the main roster will atleast be in here in some shape or form acting as Strikers MvC\KOF style!
Team Ouendon? Wario Ware Dudes? THE BOWSER KIDS FROM SMB3!!!? Tom Nook...comes on stage and mortgages your life away...insta death! xD Shit, that's not even taking into consideration 3rd Party characters that can be involved with this!
Ninty's back catolog is massive, the more obscure and wierd additions the better! It's gonna be like the ultimate pokeball!
Man, if they don't have 8 bit Megaman in there in some form! XD If they do...then I want all the bosses to do some sort of "Knights of the Round" Striker attack. xD
The control of Smash Bros was just perfect, I played it to a level where I could use the standard skillz, but I never got into or even realised stuff like wave dashing etc. Shield parrying, deflecting, Sheild rolling, Air Dodge, throwing\catching toomany things!
Still nothing better then being smashed off stage, only to make it back and catch onto the ledge *Audience Gasp!* only pixels away from falling to your doom!
Tell a lie...what's better then that is to jump off the ledge yourself and grab onto the side so the other player falls to his doom...bwahahaahaa.
Oh yeah...this game is meant to be online too?!
I need to lie down...shit, boss is coming. :|

lol Kirby's face! ^______________________________________________^

That comic is WELL WRONG! lol *enters url for more...*
Whats this I hear? VJ making an appearance? Naughty!

When's 'Wii Carlton' coming out?
I'm in the same boat man -
In the Saur household we played standard skills (well) - but there's a whole new level you can take the game to when you learn the advanced movement and stage manipulation. I simply didnt know! It was only when youTube came along and I saw all the tournament matches - it's like watching a totally different game.
This time round I'm getting well into the crazy movement from the very start - I've dabbled quickly with the wave-dashing on the Cube but find it difficult still, but I at least got the basics down.
I'm curious as to how they're going to do the "remote-only" control option. He mentions there arent enough buttons and motion control was going to compensate, I'm dying to find out what they come up with.

Swweeet controls update:

Can you say, old school NES two button mash for another button, can you?
Nice!
I had a look at that the other day - LOVING the Giga Bowser transformation and new stages aswell!
So now you have 3 strength types for attacking - regular strike, hard strike AND Smash. Plus you've got the "halfway" up or down on the analogue + attack for lighter versions of sweep and launcher....
They've been purposely coy about the remote regarding the motion controls they've added to compensate, you have block and evade (which are two separate functions) to add aswell.
This game is gonna pwn so much! T_T
WIN!!!11
Giga Bowser still aint as 'ard as Alan though - Alan is ROCK!!11

That... is... insane...
LOL Sim City guy. xD
Read through some of the older updates on the site...
Wario’s side special move is the Wario Chopper. He jumps on and starts racing!
Vroom! Vroom!
Tilt the Control Stick in the opposite direction of your movement to pull a 180. Use an attack button to jump off.
Axle turn!
Only one motorcycle will appear on screen, so if you fall off, run back up to it and climb on again.
Where’s my hog?!
Oh, and Wario’s down special move is the Wario Waft. That is to say, he passes gas.
This particular special move builds up power the longer you go without using it.
If you haven’t held it in, [b]it’ll be a cute little poot.
But when you hold it in as much as you can...?!
In this case, patience really is a virtue.
BIKE!!!! CUTE POOT!!!! BIKE!!!! CUTE POOT!!! XD
More Kirby and Wario awesomenes
Can't wait for the Nintendo Conf, I just KNOW they will announce a few more returning and secret characters. I really...REALLY believe that they will unveil Sonic as a secret character...they got to!
Sonic would be too much XD. I'm still hoping for some Streets of Rage characters in there. Let's hope they'll be some more details surfacing soon, this game sounds insane, once again the Wii is draining me of disposable income.
Loving the Wario attacks
Have they told us what Waluigi can do yet?
No Waluigi yet -
The announcement today was for the ol' N64 pinball style bumper which you can place to screw the opponents up.
This is right up there with DMC4 for games I'm clucking to play - Smash Bros is 100% pure fan service that just so happens to play like a dream. I really should get back on the Cube version...

"It’s a good time to be alive..." - Nintendo Smashville
I check it everyday
The one today looks like some kind of new Trophy Battle game mode ^^
________________________________
Yeah, that's a bit odd isn't it. I thought the trophies were sort of like strikers, maybe it's a sort of pokemon colosseum type affair?
If there are any Sega characters announced for this game I think my anticipation level will explode.
That looks like the opening movie, explaining the premise of Smash Bros, what with it being all about the models of the characters fighting inside a child's imagination etc etc
Ofcourse! I'm such a pot/whizz/crackhead - I completely forgot the intro with the models,
Remember Kids* Dont do drugs.

YOSHI! YIPPEEE!

wow... they've made him look like he's covered in felt, like a plush toy or something. So does Pikachu in that shot too. (he, it, that, her, thing)
Yoshi is definetly felt - with cotton wool inside.

...stitched together with love (cuddles).
There could never be a Wayoshi could there?
otherwise Wayoshi would be stiched together with hate (punches).
NEVER!
You could never have an evil Yoshi! There was Boshi, but he's just naughty.
It's about time they included a diabetes warning for the sweetness though.
________________________________
YAY! It's all gone Dante - you can jump off enemies ^^
Using it to setup Smash Attacks is going to be grim!
________________________________
Does that mean you can a Neo vs Smith esque battle fighting into space?
Or do'ya reckon its one jump then it cancels?
I think it's just 1 jump - normally. Doesnt mean that you cant screw with it loads by manipulating the controls though. Like the short-jumps and wavedashing you can do in the Gamecube one by air-evading downwards immediately after a jump.
You might be able to cancel air attacks into a jump aswell - like if you land an aerial attack you can then jump off the opponent. That will make the games you play when trying to get back onto the stage (or stopping that person) even deeper.

Adventure Mode Revealed!

Theres a vid too...

- This is the Subspace Emissary! -
More than anything, Smash Bros. is a competitive action game. People have been kind enough to praise its multiplayer, but we’ve never been able to create a fully fleshed out single-player game.
This time, though, we’ve managed to create a complete side-scrolling action game. It’s storyline isn’t overwrought—it’s hastened along by a bunch of quick movies.
The Adventure mode also emphasizes character development. You’ll see many famous characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories, shouldering their unique burdens... It’s really something you won’t see anywhere else.
With so many wonderful characters appearing together, it’s like a dream action game. We’re putting tons of fighting spirit into making this game, so I hope you’re all looking forward to it.
Oh, and this is all included in the same Game Disc, so rest easy.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Singho falls over
Need to take this all in...I need to lie down, and i've only just got up. xD
This is all looking rather bloody good isn't it. I'm new to the Smash game, so I've taken Melee away with me to get some practice in and pick up the basics. Few things that you heads might be able to help me with.
1. Is there any point to the one player game? Do I unlock additional characters and environments by playing it. Do the trophies do anything at all?
2. How much time based unlocking is there? I got some odd message about Mushroom kingdom 2 being avaialble with a date next to it?
3. Basic movement primer as I watched the How to Play thing and just went WTF? Are people using the stick or the buttons to jump? Tell me more about this half direction thing as that's not mentioned in the tutorial. Basically I'm completely lost.
Smash Bros is the stuff of Legend!
Every single mode in the game will unlock you loads of goodies, there are so many of them it's impossible to list them all out. Better than having a look at the guides for what's unlocked I suggest just trying to get better at every little game in there and you'll be blown away at how much stuff they've put in.
I dont suggest using the stick to Jump - it's all about precision, also bear in mind that you have a halfway-up and halfway-down on the stick + attack for a launcher and sweep. That little tutorial is fine to start off with for movement but there are untold levels of movement, have a look at this vid;

(Wavedashing is DA SHIT!)
________________________________
Can't wait for it myself, but these daily updates are too much for, especially as they have started so far in advance of the game coming out. As long as they leave a few things secret I suppose, don't want to know everthing.
It's like Shigsy and Co are driving up to my house and telling me what they are putting into the game...which is all good, but honestly, they don't have to cause such a scene!
bwahaaha
LOLz that gif is class! XD

I love the daily updates aswell - I would have posted up that Story Mode but I was too busy skipping through fields/throwing flowers etc.
________________________________
How much more WIN can they cram into this game!?!?
The Pokemon Trainer character does'nt fight directly, he issues commands from the background - instead you tag weapon-switch style between 3 characters.
*CHARACTER CLAIMED*
________________________________
That's just nuts. I just can't get my mind around this game. Sega need to get back into doing mashups and fast. We need a new Fighters Megamix.
NOW back On Topic. That sounds like King of Fighters + Pokemon x BIG FUN There better be more than one trainer so you can have trainer vs trainer match ups, each with their own pokemon. The tactics would be immense.
Deserves a blatant...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15FJ03upun8
\o/
Sounds like a great character! I'm pretty sure they wouldn't neuter a character like this if you couldn't chain the pokemon attacks togeather too. ^_^ RAPIDNESS! \o/
Wonder why they didn't go with a character from the cartoons though? If it was Ash, they were prolly bothered about him having\not having Pikachu with him.
BULBA! ^_^
We might have to block saurs access to smashbros.com, this is just the awesome thing ever...
a sticker album!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various03.html
THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
This is getting a bit much! >_< - the Haloid-style action on Samus's whip they added today looks seriously dutty aswell.
________________________________
YAY! look!! ^^
SUPER DRAGON YOSHI!

So much win...so much win.
We might as well get ready for the inevitable bomb shell when they announce Sonic & Shadow as secret characters. \o/ (Please rip off the Mario Bros Z versons plz!)
They wanna hurry up with this game >_<
________________________________
I don't know why I didn't think of this before but Tingle really should be a playable character in Smash Bros.
Anyone agree?
I'd love that! Imagine the moves.
They've detailed the WiFi play today;
