This is so awesome!! Of course just watching it and performing it yourself is a totally different feeling! I even popped in Melee, took out my memory card, and proceeded to unlock everything just to get that rush of unlocking everything!

Awesome video, but why did they ask for my age?

Wow, Luigi's final Smash is WEIRD, but awesome!
And Link and Ganon 'dancing'...a highlight

I only watched a couple, i want to be surprised.

But lol at DK's, I was expecting something really big and epic.

That intro kicked ass. XD

i still think u should be able to fight with ur miis

I really wanted some Mii action...oh well...
We can still rock though!

I'm kinda disappointed that three characters (you know who) pretty much all have the same Final Smashes. Otherwise, it seemed those controlling the game didn't really know what to do..... but that's ok :o

So, every character shoots some sort of giant laser now?

Sooo...they are making the game cheaper and alot like Battle Stadium: Don? I hope you have to meet requirements before each "FINAL SMASH" instead of doing it whenever the hell you want. Seems like a stupid idea and some of the moves are a bit cheesy, Bowser...gets BIGGER...lame

Crap, I selected "3" as my age.

The crouch dance in the beginning was hilarious.

I hope there is an option to turn off smashes in-game, because some of these are soooo cheap..

Samus has an awesome final smash but she sucks as a character. Marth/Ike/Meta Knight have fantastic final smashes which can be comboed into. Pikachu/Sonic have good standalone smashes. Some of these are just useless, like Ness, Peach, etc.

@Malice:
perhaps you sould play before saying it´s cheap, but who am I to say this.. only watching videos of gameplay is enough to see how the game balance fells.
(???)

@crunks: Yeah...those 3, plus 2, plus 2...plus 2 more!!! It kinda sucks. My favorite so far has been Ike's. Just because I like swordplay!

can someone PLEASE tell me what the hell Peach did??

Does anyone else hate the new announcer, and find it annoying that his tone goes UP when he says "set" instead of DOWN like in the first two games?

@groovechampion: She puts every enemy on screen to sleep then drops health replenishing peaches. Its really just a support smash. Seems it would be really good to have it on a team battle. When she gets the smash ball, her partner health is low. Put the enemy to sleep, replenish health, then smash the hell out of the enemy! Looks useful, but it actually is very useful if you use it in the right way!

@Malice: Because you know, bashing on a game without knowing how it works is cool.

@groovechampion: Peach made life regen power ups and put the other person to sleep for a bit.

These items can be used by the other person when they wake up.

Luigi's is funny as hell. I loved Captain Falcon's. I much look forward to using Snake's and Sonic's.

@crunks: I know! It's one thing to make three characters that are pretty much exactly the same, but it's totally appalling that they don't each get a unique Final Smash. It's not even appropriate for the last guy.

with any luck, there will be actual differences in control between the three landmasters

Pretty sure they fucked up on Diddy's they didn't even shoot. They just flew around.

@yamamoto114: He sounds like the dad from Fairly Odd Parents.

I'm the most happy with Captain Falcon's. Thats my number one character besides Roy. And his looks the most unique!

Aw, they stole Nore's video. =/

PK STARSTOOOORM!

@captainmurphy: They wanna give you the same feel of the N64 days!

Also off topic, I know there's video of it...but does anyone know where I could see video of how R.O.B. fights?

SONIC IS IN BRAWL? THANKS ALOT KOTAKU.

This video is full of win.

Holy shit. Game and Watch's final smash is hilarious!

Falco also has a pretty badass one.

@Darthearl: Thanx!

Man I love this video...sure its not the first time I seen it but I have already looked at the benefits of all and I have to say.

DK has the worst and I'm comparing that to Jiggypuff(Purin) FS where if you can knockthem off......the edge causes an instance k.o.

But as far as instance k.o...... Marth has the best FS.

Sure you have to be on the ground to use it but I seen that beast kill three people with that thing. He has a hit box that covers a jump so he can hit you stanind or trying to hop over.

Zelda/Sheik, Mario, and Gannon FS pretty much seal the deal.

But as far as just cool looking but not really gunna kill people. Link, Toon Link, Ike, Metaknight, Lucario.

Im not even going to comment on the landmasters....Foxes lander can do a hover loop around a stage about two times before running out.

I to lazy to finsh the rest but...I'm wondering if the smash circut might actully let the smash ball be tounry legit. If not its going to be one funny final smash flame war.

@Zho:
@Wyld:

Man oh man... I guess nothing negative better be said about this game :\ I plan to sit on the side lines today and take it all in since I'm sure I'll never play this.

I will say this though as a "nub": May of the final smashes seem like a crap shoot while others seem like a sure-kill and even a sure-kill for one's self if I was following the action correctly. It didn't add to my excitement to see some of the moves reused but the high-points were definately the sword-based smashes (other ones just seem down-right retarded). I guess my only lingering question is if it's possible for both players to do smashes at the same time?

link/toon link and zelda/shiek had awesome final smashes

@okenny :): It was said that the Smash Ball only appears once in every fight but with a bit of item switchery I'm not sure if that'll be true forever.

Even so, I don't know if two would appear at the exact same time.

i normally don't care about 'spoilers' but in this case, it's pretty much the reason you play a new smash bros game.

i don't think i'll watch this as i want to have to work to discover each of the final smashes, you know, with a couple buddies, each taking a couple different characters and checking it out. yep, this'll be a pass for me.

some of those Final Smashes sucked but others were awesome. Mario, Link, Marth, Ike, Samus, Zelda,Sonic Ganondork, the StarFox Crew, Pikachu, Luigi, Kirby and Captain Falcon had great Smashes. The rest were okay or "meh"

What really grabbed me though are the graphics. The video was crappy but some of the effects and models I could see looked great.

I'm just happy that Ganondorf has his Ganon transformation. And that he's actually a LIL different than C. Falcon

The dance sequence in the beginning was LOL.

Luigi's FS> wtf was that all about? :D

Pikachu <33

But one that i saw was fun was Snake's FS. totally cool.

I am sick of all this SSBB hype/coverage. What's next, coverage of each character's ass wiping move?

There is a better video from the guy who made it bdcool from youtube. It shows all the final smashes but in realtime gameplay. Not idle players.

[youtube.com]

@AaronMD: HOW DID YOU KNOW! :D

that was soooo beautiful, the whole sychronized gannan and link was absolutely perfect, and all the characters confirmed gr8 :D

Since you need the smash ball item to do a final smash, more than likely there'll be an option to turn it off in item switch (providing they keep that feature... and goddamn they should).

Either way some look a lot more useful than others. So love Fox, Falco and Wolfs final smashs... but really they could have at least made one of them different. Is there really any point in having TWO Fox clones?

King DeDeDe's laugh reminded me of Kefka.

@okenny :): That wasn't what I was complaning about :P Personally yes not all the Smashes are as cool/usefull. But just going 'It's cheap' and 'Seems like a stupid idea' is silly because there ARE restrictions to it.

Have you ever done Luigi's final smash....on weed!?!

@Odin: From one of the videos out there...I noticed one difference of Wolf's moveset is his up+b...he doesnt do the fire fox(or falco) it looks like a dash and double kick. Not really sure

@AaronMD: Then thank your lucky stars that there's no Brawl-themed Mountain Dew.

Why does Luigi drop acid?

Snakes final Smash is made of AWESOMENESS!
