The Smash DOJO recap: Samus is firing her laser! photo

First off, yes, the title of this post is more or less stolen from Justice. I'm sorry, but there was nothing better I could use after reading it. Shoop Da Whoop. Anyway, this week in the Dojo has been mostly about lasers.

Monday though started off with a quick audio sample of Star Fox's stage. Tuesday is when the laser talk began with the unveiling of Pokemon, Deoxys. I do believe this will be the first time a Pokemon in the Smash series finally uses Hyper Beam as it's attack. More laser talk was had on Wednesday when Samus's Final Smash Attack was revealed. You've already seen it in action in the original trailer, so it's not too surprising that this is her Final Smash.

After Samus uses her Final Smash though, she losses her Power Suit. She's left with her little whip gun and not much else. Now what I want to know is A) Can she regain her Power Suit and B) What will Zero Suit Samus Final Smash be? Finally, today's announcement was ... odd to say the least. Lots of theories are being thrown around, but I think there's a really simple answer to it. It's just the damn opening sequence.

Even if it turns out to be a new game mode, the point is, what was shown was just some kind of movie.

I will not reduce a man of my caliber to such premature exacerbations of 4chan.

I'm guessing today's update is the set up for "story mode".

Sakurai has said that in previous Smash games he was discouraged from making a story mode, as the N64 and GC had enough story based games already and not enough mindless action games. But this time, he was given the go ahead for story mode.

I'm guessing the actual opening to the game will still feature a huge montoge of the different characters running around and looking awesome. Then you'll be able to choose various modes, hopefully classic and adventure will be back, along with story mode, where I presume you'll have to play as Mario and Kirby at first, freeing other trophies and fighting new enemies.

This could in fact be the co-op mode people have been waiting for.
Could be good.

If only they'd release videos we could have an awesome animated gif of this with the Shoop da Woop face. If only....

These look shooped.
I can tell by some of the pixels and having seen quite a few shoops in my time.

I just wanna know, what do i do if i just wanna play as Zero Suit? I mean, this wasn't an issue with zelda, as she could transform anytime. hmmmm this is a conundrum. maybe more characters will be making transformations of this caliber.

I highly doubt that starting a game as zero suit Samus will be unavailable, this is probably for story mode, or something of that nature. But who cares about Samus, I wanna see Solid Snakes Super move!

Any guesses for what that would be?

Since they can't exactly use guns or anything of realistic weaponry, coupled with the theme of MGS1 with his music and stuff, full-functioning Metal Gear Rex in the same temporary full-on ass kicking as Giga Bowser.

Since Samus's Final Smash causes her power suit to fall off, wouldn't it only be logical to assume that when Zero Suit Samus uses her final smash that the rest of her clothes would fall off as well?

In that pictures of Samus doing a handstand, she's staring right at me. It's almost as if she knows exactly what's going on in my dirty, dirty mind.

"Shoop da whoop"???
Sigh, I feel I'll always be in the dark on internet fads, jokes, etc. Off to wiki I shall go. I hope we see more of that headstand in the inevitable hundred doujins.

Dammit, I found a hilarious Tyra Banks SDW gif, but it wouldn't work as my avatar. Athena's gonna have to hold the spot until I find a badass Sol Badguy picture.

Friday was just the story update. Instead of having a "toys or trophies" battle "story" Sakurai's gone ahead and said that Nintendo trophies battle for fun and live in harmony until some badass shows up.

Which sounds like a typical Nintendo acid trip.

Also, Zero Suit Samus' Final Smash? She unzips her flight suit and cups her breasts, causing all within viewing range to get a raging boner (even the other girls) and they die as a result of lack of blood to the brain (since it all goes to their genitals).

Engorged Peach clitoris for the win.

That lazor gave me over 9000 boners in the last hour.

No, RJG, they don't battle for fun, they're FORCED to battle. THAT'S the rule. Mario broke that rule by befriending Kirby. And thus, they're punished by DARK THINGY.
