Today's update was the pit trap item - I saw the name and immediately thought there's an item that generates enormous Sonic-esque bottomless pits; but they just drop you down to the next platform below (or on the bottom platform, embed you in the ground for a few moments.)
Hahahha that item seems rather pointless. Then again a well-place motion sensor and a strategically placed bumper set in mid-air with the combination of pit-fall and a charged smash attack...the outcome could be wonderful.
No one pointed out the fact that the item itself comes from Animal Crossing, as indicated by the Animal Crossing leaf again. That makes a stage AND an item that comes from the game.
That still dosen't prove much Shadic. It just proves it's popularity. Yeah, but that is kind of a koinkidink.
>_> How do you spell that anyway?
The pit trap can be a nuisance on stages where those kinds of platforms are at the bottom. You fall to your death. D: That can also work stratigically.
The thing is, that the roster of playable characters will be extended. It's just natural evolution, and what better place to pull a character from, than one of Nintendos newest, and best selling, IPs?
It's made sense from the get go, and the inclusion of an item AND a stage from Animal Crossing is only lending credibility to the idea.
I think Animal Crossing is one of the worst possible series they could've taken elements from.

It's spelled coincidence. (unless you weren't being serious)
I could have just used a dictionary, or spell check even, if I didn't know how to spell it. I'm trying to figure out how to spell "koinkidink." Hence, one of Flander's okaly-dokaly words.
...
I gotta stop taking references from The Simpsons. 
Right, back on topic.

Like I said: popularity. If you (or me), dosen't like a certain series but Japan (or the majority of a poll) does, well there's nothing much you could do about it.

How can a single word cause this much? Seriously.
OMFG. IKE. IKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES <33333333333!!!!!!!!11
And today we get...
... Ike, from Fire Emblem as a playable character.
EDIT: Damm you Pach! *Shakes fist*
pre-promo costume + ragnell + aether = awesome
Where is my boy? Where is Roy ? :cry
He died.
If you're lucky he'll be a costume for Ike or Marth!
.....Holy ****.
Roy is fail compared to Ike.
I assume Post-Promo costume may be available as colour swap.
Oh HO HO HO! @ Gyser
Hmm...I wonder what Aether will be? Could it be a Final Smash? Or would it easily be a Special Move? I'm guessing a >+B attack. I honestly have no idea, since I know very little of Fire Emblem.
Sweet...I have no idea who Ike is. At first I thought the licorice candy pieces were going to be AT or something...but this guy is human. >_> Looks like he can deal some massive damage though. Welcome to the fray, Ike. =]
Aether is almost certainly his final smash; as a regular move it would have to be simplified and then there's nothing else available for his FS.
There is a small possibility that Aether FS will be the first/only to heal the user.
OMIGAWD OMIGAWD
*hyperventilate*
Huzzah for Ike!
Now that they've established the use of one Path of Radiance character, I wonder if they'll include others? I'd love to see Soren put into the roster.

Nonononono, I'm not saying it should not be in Brawl because I don't like it (i do like AC), just an AC playable character makes no sense, and the stage and item seem thrown in just for the hell of having Animal Crossing in the game.
And Ike looks pretty awesome, but I don't play Fire Emblem so meh.
Castle Stage looks awesome. Going through to different areas will be fun. :0
i want to be able to hit my companions as we fall
Craig, are you satisfied with this stage?
Yea this/these stage look(s) incredible! Nintendo is going crazy for the third entry. My gosh...I can't wait to play it.
Something like that Power Stone 2 level?
(not that anyone cares about Power Stone 
)
I love Power Stone, especially Power Stone 2. =D That's what this stage reminded me of after I first read the update.
Yea man it does remind me alot of the Power Stone 2 level. And I love those games, btw Box. Hahaha.
News: Sheik and Ganondorf basically confirmed for Brawl, as stated by Eiji Aonuma!
gameinformer.com/News/Story/200708/N07.0802.1741.54921.htm
GI: Have you been consulted at all for the usage of Link or Sheik or Ganondorf for Smash Bros. Brawl?
Aonuma: Ive been working with Sakurai for a very long time with this new Smash Bros., because the Wii came out and when discussion for a new Smash Bros. took place nobody could think of anyone other than Sakura working on it. He was kind of the default, and I was very happy to hear that he would be working on it. Actually, my designers did work on the designs for Sheik and Link and Ganondorf. So they submitted the initial designs, and so it would fit in the Smash Bros. Brawl environment, theyve had to tweak some of the designs. But Sakurai has brought those altered designs to NCL. Were working very closely with the team of Smash Bros. Brawl to make sure the characters look their best.
Well, I knew Ganondorf would be coming back, but I was skeptical of Sheik this whole time, considering this is TP Zelda that's in this game. Glad to hear than anything is indeed possible in the world of Smash Bros. =D
Score. We all knew Ganon was in but Sheik was kind of ambiguous for some of us.
Also, for the people whose only Brawl source is this place, the third level of Castle Seige isn't all that secret.
Yay Shiek! Y-wha, HSW!? lol
Adventure Mode: Subsapce Emissary
Possibly the best update ever, we get more info on the story and a video preview.
Looks nice; sounds like they're making all the right moves. I guess you could call this out first look at Peach, too.
Video isn't working for me atm...I must be on early.
Anyone work out who the blonde haired individual in one of the bottom pics with Pit is?
EDIT: Nvm, probably Palutena.
Best. Week. Ever. (So far)
And the funny thing is, today is Sakurai's b-day.
That's what I was thinking too @ Pach... But her hair is green Oo
it's always been green
Wow...an extensive single player? Those screens look very nice. This game can't be all it's shaped up to be. Something's going to end up being absent. Whether it's our blue comrade or the function of online play...then again there's the possibility of both, or neither. =]
This game brings your deepest MarioxKirby fantasies to life. =)
Looks like that picture of Bowser in the clouds was just an eye trick. Why were we even thinking that? XD
Peach seems to be confirmed; at least in the subspace scene she is. Many characters made cameo apperances in the Adventure mode of the previous game. We're still not sure whether Peach or that "other woman" will be playable, ... yet.
Other chick? Zelda? Yes, she is confirmed... Or do you mean Palutena?
...Peach is confirmed. I don't think we need any further say-so about it. Palutena (assuming that it is her), on the other hand, I'm gonna believe she may just be an NPC in Adventure Mode.
EDIT: 
...Pig-Mask machine? Mother 3 in Brawl? A generic looking enemy with such a distinguishable feature makes me wonder. Not to mention that this looks like something the Pig Masks would make. =O
Looks like something straight out of the Pig Star.
...
Uh oh.

Why "uh oh"? DO you know how awesome that would be? It won't happen though. I think. o.o
from FexusFan Empire of Scootering Daisyheads:
Zontar King of the Pig People, an acquaintance of FexusFan, has been ruling and conquering universes since August 2000. He resides in the PigStar and has a mass army known as the Super Spikey Stainless Pig Army.
Has the scource of the subspace incursion been discovered? 😮
Hey does anyone have any idea why the Lip's Stick item doesn't have a trophy on Melee? I know thats pretty random but I was playing SSBM and wondered what game that item is from...couldn't find its trophy. Heh...
Lip's Stick had a trophy in Melee. o_O
The game it came from was Panel de Pon, which is turned into Tetris Attack in the US. I think it was because the game seemed too...kiddy? Not sure what the details were, to be quite honest.
Wow...I couldn't find it. Let me go look through my trophies again. Thanks for the info though.
