Quantcast



The Smash DOJO!! week started off with a new Pokemon! Munchlax can be summoned, but all he does is eat items. Damn, it's going to be funny watching it eat Pokeballs. On Tuesday, Lyn from Fire Emblem was revealed as a new Assist Trophy. She pulls a ninja move and slashes at people. I liked how Masahiro gave a little tip at the end of the update saying how players should grab their opponents to help Lyn out.

On Wednesday, Meta Knights stage, Battleship Halberd, was shown in more detail to us. We've seen it in the first trailer already and the fact its taken so long for them to profile anything related to Meta Knight is strange. The best part of the stage is that it reenacts a boss battle from Kirby Super Star. Special Brawl was revealed to us on Thursday. You can customize every aspect of this battle set-up. Always wanted to make everyone start off with Flower and Metal powers and make everyone super fast with low gravity set? Well now you can!

Finally, on today's update, it was revealed that the Ice Climbers Popo and Nana are back in the Brawl. What did you all think of this weeks announcements?

Good to see Lyn at least making a cameo, but I was really surprised to see the Ice Climbers coming back. I thought for sure that they'd be toast.

Maybe the Ice Climbers will be able to actually pack a punch now? They'll pull a Jigglypuff and kickass in the next game.

@ Skeeter:

That would suck...I already know many people that pwn ass with the climbers. Using that damn Nana as a shield...and fuck them. I fucking hate the ice climbers and the fuckers that get good with them. It's not fair dammit. They're too good.

I'll give Tronknotts his credit for saying this first, but the inclusion of Ice Climbers debunked this rumor

And I'm glad. Bowser Junior FTL.

Yes Ice Climbers! I had a feeling they were returning but I think G&W and MewTwo got the axe.

Um...yeah...Inuit. They are called Inuit. And no that is not an acronym for something perverse.

Sorry, had to say it, being Canadian and all.

Jeeze they are so freaking cute!!!! I adore the Ice Climbers; the thing about them is that they can be really freaking powerful, you just have to know how to fight with them.

Notice the detail on the gloves? Damn, that's really, REALLY, nice looking. I think Brawl might be one of the best looking games on the Wii, and may even be as good looking as a decent 360 game.

And do you know what these cute lil'munchkins do with those hammers? they beat baby seals to bloody death to make their SUPER CUTE COATS!!!

Nintendo canceled a next gen ice climbers game feeling it was gona get an AO rating.




True story.

I wonder if the Ice Climbers will still be able to do their "wobble" technique?

The wobble is a semi-infinite; check it out here:

Yes, I also heard about that Ice Climbers game, it was called "Super Seal Clubbers" and you basically use the Wiimote to batter baby seals to death. but like someone already mentioned, it was cancelled.

God forbid that they make the Ice Climbers even stronger, those double-Smash attacks and that gay grab are just too powerfull
