Well, it’s been a while since I’ve put some stuff about Brawl, so this will make up for it. They’ve added a new character and a returning character, the Pokemon Trainer and Peach.

 

There is also something now called “The Footstool Jump”, which is basically jumping, and then jumping with perfect timing onto your opponent’s head. And whever used wheever your opponent is in midair, you will perform a meteor smash.

You can also now use weapons like the super scope while moving and jumping, which was a hassle last time when you had to reposition yourself to keep from falling off the edge while shooting.

Also, now you can perform combos by just holding down the attack button, or you can have fun with it and do a traditional rapid button press. Remember, the combos will be different varying by character, such as Fox doing a multi-jab or Metaknight just going all crazy with his sword.

There’s also a new recovery move called the tether. Whenever you start to fall to your death and your Up Special Move doesn’t help, you can simply start to do a grab and a tether will be extended to help you survive. Pretty handy. It will come standard for every character. There are also new perks and extras in the game like stickers, which you can collect and make collages out of. There have even been talks to make stickers out of screenshots that yuo can take.

Another new item is the “Franklin Badge”. This badge will protect you from Projectiles, but will fall off partway through the battle.

There is also a continuance with the video I hosted on my site from Gamespot where the stadium is beginning to be attacked by a strange force. Well this continues it with this next video. It basically just shows an army of minions called the Primid being led by the Ancient Minister. They plan on cutting apart the owrld and taking it into subspace. They will use detonating devices armed by robots to blow up said parts. In the video, they blow up the stadium. This looks to be a great, much deeper storyline than in Melee. Click here to go there to see the video. Just click on the picture on that page like the one I have above.

Finally they showed off Link’s famous special moves. They pretty much remain the same, except formed from Twlight Princess. Down-Bomb, Side-Gale Boomerang, Up-Sword Spin (which is now chargeable!), Standard-Hero’s Bow, Grab-Clawshot. Awesome.
