Snapshot
Snapshots became a reality in Super Smash Bros. Melee, they were rather limited. To take snapshots back then, one would have to enter "camera" mode then take pictures of the character(s) using an additional controller (1 controller acts as the camera). This was a near pointless option, as it would save to a GameCube memory card, which didn't exactly grant you the option of doing anything with the snapshot.
Brawl however reinvents the snapshot idea, and implements it in a much more useful fashion. This time, no matter what mode you are in, you can pause then take a snapshot. It makes sense to, because funny instances or scenarios arise at random, as such, you can snapshot them as they come. As opposed to "recreating" these scenarios in camera mode in Melee.
In Brawl, you'll have the option to save your snapshots to either your Wii, or SD card. You're limited only by the size of your SD card. You can also send them to friends via Wi-fi.
