Smash Bros. DOJO!! updates (archive): Difference between revisions

*'''June 12: "Yoshi's Island"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/stage03.html]: The '''[[Yoshi's Island (SSBB)|Yoshi's Island]]''' stage in Brawl is covered more in-depth, confirming a simple layout but with a top platform that is unstable. The stage visually changes between all four seasons, and a platform appears off to the side courtesy of the '''[[Support Ghost]]''' to save flying combatants.  

*'''June 18: "Link: Final Smash"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/link.html#3rd]: Link's [[Final Smash]], as seen in the first trailer, is officially named the [[Triforce Slash]]. The specifics of how the move starts out and finishes, which wasn't shown in the trailer, is also revealed.

*'''June 19: "Pikachu: Volt Tackle"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pikachu.html#3rd]: Pikachu's Final Smash, [[Volt Tackle]], is revealed to involve him temporarily turning into a gigantic ball of light and flying across the stage at great speeds, which can be controlled to an extent by the player. Also mentioned is that other players are capable of canceling Pikachu's Final Smash, and presumably other Final Smashes as well.

*'''June 20: "Wario"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/wario.html]: [[Wario (SSBB)|Wario]] is given his own character section in the "Newcomer" category. It is mentioned that Wario will have a fighting style that "other characters cannot even see", which could mean a large number of things, but most likely refers to his fart based attacks (as farts are generally not seen by the naked eye).

*'''June 21: "Fox: Special Moves"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/fox.html#2nd]: Two of Fox's special moves, the [[Reflector]] and [[Blaster]], are confirmed to reappear in Fox's moveset for Brawl. Aside from a few cosmetic differences, both moves seem to be 100% unchanged from their functions in Melee.

*'''June 22: "Lylat Cruise"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/stage04.html]: The Star Fox stage from the second trailer is dubbed the [[Lylat Cruise]], and it is revealed that the stage will traverse not only the area around Corneria and its atmosphere, but also various areas of the entire Lylat system.

*'''June 25: "Zelda"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/zelda.html]: [[Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]] is revealed as a playable character and "veteran fighter" in Brawl. Her appearance is loosely based on the version of Zelda in LoZ:Twilight Princess, but there are several differences such as the colors of her hair and dress. She is confirmed to remain a slow character with strong magic-based attacks, but whether or not she will be able to transform into Sheik this time remains unmentioned.

*'''June 26: "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Medley"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music04.html]: The fourth music update on the site is a medley of various songs heard in ''Ocarina of Time'', among them the "Song of Storms", "Epona's Song", "Song of Time", "Saria's Song", and "Zelda's Lullaby". It is unknown which stage this theme will be played on, if any.

*'''June 27: "Banana Peel"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/item04.html]: A new item, the [[Banana Peel]], is revealed. The effect of the item is somewhat obvious. When dropped on the floor, any character running on this item will slip on it. It's apparently classified as a [[Smash Bros. universe|Smash Bros.]] item, despite it possibly being derived from [[Donkey Kong (universe)|Donkey Kong]] or [[Super Mario Kart]].

*'''June 28: "Names"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various02.html]: The second update to the "Game Modes" category reveals several things about the game's interface. The ability for the player to enter custom names returns, and it is revealed that custom button configurations for each controller can be chosen and assigned to the player's name. Also is the mention that player name data may be able to be saved on the player's Wii Remote so they could take this information to other people's Wiis, but this feature has apparently not been implemented yet and may not happen. It is unknown whether making player names in Brawl will be mandatory in order to play.  

*'''June 29: "Wario: Special Moves"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/wario.html#2nd]: Two of Wario's B moves are covered. His [[Smash B]] move, [[Wario Chopper]], is similar to Yoshi's [[Egg Roll]] attack with the exception of Wario's bike being used, and that it will stay on stage after the first use of the attack. Also elaborated on is the [[Wario Waft]] attack, which contrary to popular belief, is not a Final Smash, and in fact his [[Down B]].
