Talk:Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Archive 3

Rating
What's the source for the ESRB rating? - 13:35, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
 * I was about to ask the same thing. I'm taking it out until someone answers this question. -Namodod


 * Okay, so a Toys R Us ad was in my paper today, and it showed the boxart with the "T" rating. I know that's not the best source, but... should we change it? -Namodod
 * It has been confirmed by this page as well. (Log in as "guest" with password "nintendo". Don't look at the boxart but the stats next to it.) - 12:27, 21 October 2007 (EDT)

Peach Final Smash
Should her final smash have a conjectural name??? Javier12345
 * No. The creation of articles on conjecturally named subjects from an unreleased game is prevented. In short: no. - 16:10, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Actually, I think we should mention her Final Smash somewhere. It has been seen in the trailers. We made an article on Super Sonic, so why not this?

Speculated Characters
Shouldn't we put back the speculated characters section? because there's a huge percent of the rumoured characters being playable in brawl.
 * A "rumored character" is nothing more than a character someone wants to have in, and that guy just states "XXX is in Brawl!" and it's called a rumor. It's nothing to be in an encyclopedia. - 16:19, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

If there was an official list of the top requested characters, then I'd say include it, but otherwise no.

North Pole and Unknown Stage
Shouldn't the Ice Climber's Stage be mentioned. (In the new trailer, when the Ice Climber's tuant, the floor's icy and there are norhern lights in the background.) SmashWiki calls it North Pole. Also, (I would of brought this up on SmashWiki,(It's more notable there) but I don't have an account) what about the stage in the screenshots here: (Special Moves section) and  User:Gowser
 * Mario's special move sections show Rumble Falls, Delfino Plaza and Battleship Halberd. I don't think we should mention the other stages yet. - 09:58, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

THAT'S Rumble Falls? with the winmill, looks too zoomed in, and it looks diferent. User:Gowser
 * It is, indeed, Rumble Falls. The Windmill is a feature in the stage, and also, it is a scrolling level. Of course their will be parts of the stage that look different from the rest. Also, notice in the last screenshot, their is a beanstalk in the background. Sakurai had stated in the Rumble Falls update that their would be a beanstalk on that stage.
 * As for North Pole, it is WAY too soon to be making an article on a stage that has no official name yet, and has been seen only once; and it was a close up of the Ice Climbers, so the stage could not be seen well. Think about it; How much content will you have on an article that has no official name and no official information? Do the math! And don't go complaining over Norfair. That has an official name that was seen in the Demo Movies.

First off, you are being rude. Second, I NEVER said it need it's own article. User:Gowser
 * First off, I'm rude to almost all Users, it is one of my worst qualities. Get used to it. Second, OK then.

Change the W symbol!
The one on the site look different now!
 * Done. Good eye.

Assist Trophies and Pokeballs
If you don't mind me asking, where is it confirmed that Airan Jo, Little Mac, Mach Rider, Metroid, Latios and Latias and the Springboard are in the game?
 * Gameplay Videos.
 * Mind giving us a link? --Trogga 02:59, 18 October 2007 (EDT)
 * They're on Youtube somewhere. I never go to Youtube, so I can't get you the link, sorry. I'm sure Smashwiki would have links to it. Speak of the devil, Little Mac was confirmed today!
 * Also see IGN and GameSpot. - 10:03, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

Zero Suit Samus' Final smash...?
I'm not sure she even has one.

Why? Because according to the Smash Bros. Dojo: "The Final Smash is a secret skill that can be performed but once…and only after obtaining an item called the Smash Ball, which is a precious item, indeed."

Since Samus used the Zero Laser to transform into Zero Suit Samus, does she have one at all? Giga Bowser 13:31, 18 October 2007 (EDT)
 * It's disputable, she will most likely not have one. - 13:32, 18 October 2007 (EDT)
 * And, all this is speculation of a ridiculous level, sorry to say. Wait for the game to be released before jumping to this conclusion.
 * Not stating information is hardly speculation. - 08:45, 19 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Er, good point. I'll shut up.

Nevermind. I was looking at SmashWiki, and apparantly a video has shown that Zero Suit Samus does indeed have a final Smash. The full effects are unknown, but ZSS is enveloped in a bright flash and she transforms back into regular Samus. This move has apparantly been dubbed "Crystal Flash". Check out Smash Wiki for more info.

This confuses me because Sakurai said final smashes could only be performed once. Maybe, but unlikely, he meant once everytime you get the Smash ball, or once at a time.
 * I think you are forgetting, Zero Suit Samus is somewhat of her own character.

Archive
Shouldn't we be archiving this page by now?
 * I've been thinking of it for some time now, but I was too lazy. I doubt we need an additional archive page, we could just put it into the first archive. - 08:41, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

The Other Mario
In this video, http://gonintendo.com/?p=27632#comments , the nintendo rep (fat guy) said that Luigi would be a playable character (oops). So what should we do about this? User:Fixitup
 * Looks like he said it accidently. Not really surprising, but what to add to the page? There's nothing more we know. - 17:44, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Off-topic, ray gun, fire flower, and mushroom could be seen in that video... >_> -User:Dodoman

A lot of new videos
From the E for All. All of them are in Gametrailers, and shows some gameplay of the Subspace Emisary mode (also, more videos of the story), and new elements, like Skarmory as a Pokemon.--Caith Sith 19:08, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Also, I noticed the Spring Board (Mario series), and Lightning Bolt (Mario Kart series) appear in these new E for All videos... perhaps a mention is in order? -- Nintendax 23:09, 22 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Are you sure the spring board is not that of Sonic's Spring Jump? - 10:42, 23 October 2007 (EDT)

I'm quite positive that it's in fact not from Sonic's special ability. In fact, is where I saw it at 0:34 -- Nintendax 22:42, 25 October 2007 (EDT)

Ike's Final Smash
You can see Ike's Final Smash here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlhwdvf_U14
 * Aaaaand, why are you saying this?
 * So everyone can see it
 * We already know about Ike's Final Smash. Check the Final Smash article.

Ball with spikes.
I think it's a Gordo from the Kirby series
 * We don't know what it is, which is why we aren't saying what he think it is. The possibilities are Gordo from Kirby and Sea Urchin from Clu Clu Land. Because it could be either one, we'll just call spike ball for the time being, OK?

Surprisingly Different?
In King Dedede's entry, it states:

King Dedede enters as a heavy and large character, with, suprisingly, a different moveset from Kirby.

How is it surprising? The only things those 2 have in common in their series is that they can both inhale their opponents, spit them out as stars, and float. That's it. Other than that, they are nothing alike. ElementGodX
 * I've heard from many that he has an almost exact moveset to Kirby's. I haven't played many Kirby games, so, I can't say for sure.

Remember, its being translated from Japanese to English, so sometimes the words don't make sense. -- Son of Suns
 * Uh, Sos, that was what I put on the article, not what Sakurai put on the Dojo!! :|
 * It's true, they are similar, but I would still remove that "surprisingly" thing. We need to be careful when we use adverbs as they tend to inject sentences with opinion.  19:29, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Krystal in SSBB
"Alesia Glidewell, mieux connue pour avoir prêté sa voix au personnage de Krystal dans la série des StarFox, annonce sur son site internet la présence de Krystal dans Super Smash Bros. Brawl. A noter que Alesia Glidewell se chargera également de la voix de Knuckle Joe et de Zero Suit Samus dans Super Smash Bros. Brawl." from Jeux-France. And now what? can we do an article?--Caith Sith 07:38, 26 October 2007 (EDT) Original source
 * Here is the translated version:
 * "Alesia Glidewell, better known to have lent its voice to the character of Krystal in the series of StarFox, announces on its Internet site the presence of Krystal in Super Bros Smash. Brawl. It should be noted that Alesia Glidewell will also take care of the voice of Knuckle Joe and Zero Suit Samus in Super Bros Smash. Brawl."
 * HOWEVER!! That is speculation, so, we will not make the article, at this moment. I'll mention it on Fox McCloud's article, however.
 * Ok ;)--Caith Sith 07:59, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Her chances at being playable are quite high, so, it wouldn't surprise me if Krystal gets an article in a few Months. :P
 * Who is Krystal? - 08:12, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * -- Sir Grodus

Subspace Emissary
May I ask where the pics (Kirby with Peach on his back while riding a warp star and the pic of Wario) came from? I would like to see the source for myself.--Toadófsky1 12:39, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Gametrailers.

Yoshi's Island DS?
The information for the Yoshi's Island stage says it's from Yoshi's Island DS, though if I'm correct - doesn't it look more like the original Yoshi's Island game? --Bentendo 16:32, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * I don't actually know those Yoshi games, but as far as I remember, it stated Yoshi's Island DS in constrast to Yoshi's Story, as the Smash and Melee Yoshi's Island/Yoshi's Story stage were from that game. An earlier version of this page also mentioned Yoshi Touch & Go. Feel free to change things to how you think they are accurate. - 17:20, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * It is based on Yoshi Touch & Go. Yoshi's Island DS didn't have any Support Ghosts.
 * They first appeared in Yoshi's Island though. I would mention all three, and leave it at that.  19:32, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Minor NP information
While nothing was really revealed in the new Nintendo Power, there were new images -


 * One showing Meta Knight fighting Charizard, ultimately with the former character winning. BTW - Charizard looks tiny!
 * One shows Lucas ding a kick in the air with what appears to be some kind of magic shooting out of his shoe.
 * One shoes Diddy Kong happily eating a banana, or finishing it...
 * A few show the awesome Metal Gear stage.
 * Another Metal Gear image shows Snake tossing a knife in the air.
 * Also, the game is on the cover, and it's the same artwork that's on the box. --Bentendo 18:38, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Can you scan the cover, for the Nintendo Power article? - 18:59, 26 October 2007 (EDT)

Counting
Counting is really hard. Look at this page and count twenty-three icons. Then read the text where it says excluding Zero Suit Samus, so you substract one and end up on twenty-two. There are twenty-two characters confirmed by this counting method and no more. - 19:13, 26 October 2007 (EDT)

Spring
I'm asking for the last time whether the Spring item isn't in fact Sonic's Spring Jump spring. Can anyone give at least an answer? Else, I'd like to get rid of the notice... - 04:45, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

Yes it's the spring in the Mario series, I saw it in a Youtube video. So this is true info. It the one with the diamond center. Pikatwo
 * Can you give a link? - 11:47, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

I mentioned the item and provided a link under the "A lot of new videos" topic on this very page. -- Nintendax 12:58, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Okay, noted. - 13:02, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
 * [[image:Springjump.jpg|frame]]--Caith Sith 13:03, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

Enemy list
Should we have a list of creatures that roam around to do damage anywhere? Like Waddle Dee, Goomba, etc. Sort of like ReDead in the last game.


 * I'd hold up on that. Right now, we don't know that they will act the same as the ReDeads.  I'll bet you're right though, but I don't want you to right it just to have it deleted because it's "not canon." Yeah, I'm still spiteful from when it happened to me... sorry.  19:35, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Subspace Emissary Images
Are there too many Images in the Story section, or is the amount of images fine? I personally think the amount of Images is OK, but Fixitup is persistant in removing them. Comments, please.
 * It does look pretty tight there, especially when you look at it full screen on a 1600x1400 monitor or whatever the heck this thing is I'm looking at. Maybe we could shrink them and shove them all over to the right?  How does 150px sound?  07:01, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
 * On closer inspection, quite a few are somewhat worthless, really. I'm removing the Images that aren't needed, and keeping the ones with great detail about the Story.

On-Screen Appearance...
I think we should add a thing on the character entries for their on-screen appearances. Anyone?
 * They are too minor to have a section here, but you can put information on them on each character's individual article. - 18:18, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
 * I would incorporate them into the characters section if I were you. Since we're a specialty Wiki, isn't anything that's part of a game like this by definition not too minor?  18:25, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I was thinking they at least deserved a small mention in the characters'... box thingys. >_>
 * Hmm, would indeed be a good place for entrances. I'll add it. -  18:51, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
 * Cobold, you're always so nice to work with! Thanks for that!  00:32, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
 * Why, thank you! But there's something wrong with the coding on this template... <.< - 05:44, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
 * I noticed. I tried fixing it earlier today, but nothing would work. :(

Rayquaza
Is this a...Pokémon? - 09:30, 5 November 2007 (EST)

Yes it is. - --Toadófsky1 12:08, 5 November 2007 (EST)

Minor elements
Can we make articles about minor elements of the game like the Codec from Metal Gear Solid series, or the Staff of Palutena from Kid Ikarus?--Caith Sith 21:56, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Sorry, but I think that we shouldn't make that, because they aren't related to the Mario-verse.
 * Huh... they appear in Brawl, so know they are related with the Marioverse... no? Is the same as the Smart Bomb from StarFox series, for example. Of course the Codec and items like that are very minor, but...--Caith Sith 22:21, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Rating
Anyone who has enough eyes to look at the box art couldn't possibly say the rating is not T. Stop saying it's E! - 10:59, 27 November 2007 (EST)


 * The official website has it RP.
 * That's still not E. And I'd trust the box art, the official site might simply not have updated the copyright notice at the bottom. - 11:33, 27 November 2007 (EST)
 * Oh, certainly agreed that E is wrong. Where is that box art from? I haven't seen it before. 11:49, 27 November 2007 (EST)

Music
I'm working to rewrite the music, just to let you guys know. In the near future I hope to have an organizable list of composers, with their works in game and favorite works out of the game (those featured by Sakurai). So, basically, what I'm saying is if you're thinking of doing the same don't waste your time, or let me know so I don't waste mine. 19:16, 28 November 2007 (EST)
 * Wait, lemme ask. What exactly are you planning on doing to the section? I understand you are going to add a list of all the composers (IMO, we should just give a link to the Musicians update on the Smash Bros. Dojo!! =|). But, what will you do with the list of music tracks in the game? =|
 * I'm going to sort them according to the musician (which the website hasn't done yet) for the chart, but I also want to make a list of tracks, perhaps in the same fashion (sortable), that shows which stage it is featured on, who made it, and what game (or games, if there's a medley) it first appeared in. This is all going to take a while, but for now, does it sound good?  20:57, 29 November 2007 (EST)
 * I'm still a bit confused, but, you've never let us down with this page (maybe once or twice, but, who's to say? XD), so, I'll trust you with this. I'll judge it when I see it. ;)
 * Well thank you! :3 And you've always been the guy to get the DOJO updates up and stylin' first! ...and then I come along and elaborate things to death... >.> Hopefully I'm doing a good job with that. ;) 21:42, 29 November 2007 (EST)
 * Yeah. But, the main issue is that you treat this too much like a SmashWiki. You make article links to Game Mechanics that are restricted to SSB, such as Knock Outs, Transformation, etc. Other than that, you do good with the Brawl stuff. =) I hope you do a good job on the music section. =|
 * There's actually a Category:Forms that was more of waht I was thinking with the transformations. Maybe those terms other terms should be in the glossary?  23:46, 29 November 2007 (EST)
 * By the way, I just found a good reason for my doing this rather than just directing people to the list of musicians: that list is incomplete. I've already found three people not listed there, including Nobuo, the exteremely presigious Final Fantasy composer who wrote SSBB's main theme.  It also does not mention the vocalists, so I'll include them, too.  It's coming along well, by the way.  19:35, 30 November 2007 (EST)
 * OK, that's a better reason for adding the list of Composers. GO FOR IT, STUMP MAN! =P

Question
Will Giga Bowser come back?-- 12:31, 30 November 2007 (EST)
 * Giga Bowser will be, just, the Bowser's Final Smash--Caith Sith 12:35, 30 November 2007 (EST)
 * See Giga Bowser Transformation. - 13:02, 30 November 2007 (EST)
 * That's all we know right now, anyway, but given the fact that Giga Bowser stems from the Adventure mode of Melee, which has now been replaced by the Subspace Emmissary, I'll be you that the supreme secret boss will be related to the Ancient Minister rather than Bowser. 19:37, 30 November 2007 (EST)
 * Giga Bowser also appeared in the final Event Match in Melee. - 05:43, 1 December 2007 (EST)
 * Oooh... very true. Perhaps that match will be replaced with the villains of the game attacking in permenant, but vulnerable, Final Smash versions of themselves?  That would be something.  Unlikely, though.  14:06, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Tables?
Is it my monitor, or is the character table kind messed up (more specifically next to that penguin guy's profile)? 23:12, 7 December 2007 (EST)

Nope, that's exactly how it's supposed to be. Empty until further notice. Nintendax 23:57, 7 December 2007 (EST)
 * The table had a few missing items. It should be fixed now. - 06:09, 8 December 2007 (EST)

Kenji Ito
I don't really understand why we have to list the same guy twice. - 06:53, 9 December 2007 (EST)
 * Was that your edit I undid? I gotta apologize for that.  Because of the way the Wiki system shows the differences between versions, it looked like you just deleted him because... I don't know why.  Anyway, you're RIGHT.  Not wrong.  Silly me. ;(  Thank you for your sharp eye with that table: it was really hard to create and I'm sure there are more errors.  16:22, 9 December 2007 (EST)

Thunderbolt picture
On the smashbros.com-update from Dec. 17 2007 (Co-op Events), event #4 of the co-op event select you can see Diddy Kong & Donkey Kong running to a Thunderbolt, it's small but it could be added to the item section.
 * I don't think we need a picture when it's that small. We will wait till we get a bigger one. - 10:47, 17 December 2007 (EST)
 * Nice eyes and idea, Freekhenstram, though.

Delay?
Is Super Smash Bros. Brawl delaying again or is it just a rumor.user:javier12345
 * Super Smash Bros. Brawl is officially delayed up to February (US), so everything beyond February is a rumor which shouldn't be stated in this article. What you might have heard of, of course, is that Europe gets the game some time in the summer. >.> - 18:42, 21 December 2007 (EST)
 * Is because, some stores are saying it got delayed up to March, but the store were I pre-ordered my copy has not informed me about a delay.user:javier12345
 * Yes, I know it was delayed up to february 10.user:javier12345

Size
Is it possible to separate this article into smaller articles? The article is already 75kilobites long. 11:00, 22 December 2007 (EST)

Captain Falcon?
First, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSo-LTK0jC8&feature=related

Now, look at this: http://i18.tinypic.com/6nw8nc1.jpg

...What could this mean?!
 * I don't see a Captain Falcon there. - 11:49, 22 December 2007 (EST)
 * Is Captain Falcon the thing at the far right, thats the only thing I can see that looks like him. user:javier12345


 * Looks more...like Meta-Knight. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif


 * Can't see anything, that pic is too blurry.

Blitzwing


 * The video is at the dojo. I went through every screen but I only saw Primids.[[Image:MPWLBWDL.jpg|110px]] 14:07, 22 December 2007 (EST)


 * Looks like him in the center. But don't mention anything until we are absolutely sure. 14:21, 22 December 2007 (EST)


 * I can't see him its blurry and what I think I saw was Bowser...
 * WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too blurry! >_>
 * Actually, in the video it does look like Captain Falcon, but as Knife say we have to wait until we are absolutely sure. user:javier12345
 * I agree with Javiar12345, this is just like Dixie Kong's romor, the first time that I saw that, I imeediedly said, OH! That's the Cap'n! But we do need more proof, as it is blrurry, don't worry, alhough we can't put it in the article, this is pretty solid proof, so yay!--HyperToad 08:23, 24 December 2007 (EST)

Zelda)Petey Piranha(Peach
So Kirby fights Petey Piranha who has captured Peach and Zelda. In many videos Peach is saved. But I think that Kirby could end up with either of them. Is this right? 18:54, 23 December 2007 (EST)
 * Yes. As seen in this video. - 06:10, 24 December 2007 (EST)
 * Oh wait go back to the dojo and you will see a new post. Trophy stand. Is this considered an item?[[Image:MPWLBWDL.jpg|110px]] 12:38, 26 December 2007 (EST)
 * Good question, it only appears in the Subspace Emissary. We could add it to the list with a note on that. - 12:41, 26 December 2007 (EST)
 * It is an idem since it is an object you get and use even if only in carrer mode it can be atleast be part of the trophy describtion.
 * Idem? Describtion? Hab a nose bleed? What's the "carrer mode" supposed to be, that word doesn't even exist. - 07:24, 5 January 2008 (EST)
 * Alpha is well known for his incredibly bad spelling. And he's proud of it! XP
 * Hmm... I don't know if I'm "bad" too, but Alpha, what you could do is work from Mozilla FireFox, which has a spell checker on forms, such as the editing box. Don't worry, though.  We know what you mean.  12:21, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Soccer Ball and Stop Watch?
Where exactly was their effect confirmed? - 16:05, 4 January 2008 (EST)
 * Nowhere the I know of. Maybe at E for All?  17:46, 4 January 2008 (EST)


 * I've heard that info over at GoNintendo...still they didn't include a picture or a video. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif
 * That's what I've heard. I just don't know what GoNintendo is. - 16:28, 5 January 2008 (EST)

New items
Acording to GoNintendo Princess Rosalina is an assist trophy and Sandbag is an item. HyperToad

Sheik
SmashWiki says that CoroCoro confirmed that Sheik is in Brawl and that Zelda's Down Special move is Twilight Change. Is that true?. They also have more pokemon and more items that are not in the Dojo.Javier12345 22:12, 10 January 2008 (EST)
 * I say wait until the Dojo says it's true. --Trogga 22:21, 10 January 2008 (EST)
 * Actually, Javier, any worthy source can supply information, so how about you post your links and we'll look at them for you? What is CoroCoro, anyway?  Btw, I remember reading that the producer of Twilight Princess worked on models for Shiek for Brawl.  22:30, 10 January 2008 (EST)
 * I dont have links, I only read that at SmashWiki, I dont know if its true and also I dont know if they have links.Javier12345

This is were I found it.[]Javier12345
 * Also CoroCoro confirmed all of her moves, and has info about her final smash, but I dont know if its completely true.Javier12345
 * I'd mention the CoroCoro thing in our article, but the moves sound a little suspect. Thanks for posting!  23:45, 10 January 2008 (EST)


 * Actually GoNintendo also posted this. It showed a picture of Zelda's Final Smash (Light Arrows) but no Sheik. Oh and Sonic and Snake are confirmed as unlockables. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif
 * "Twilight Change" doesn't say anything at all. Something that could be called "Twilight Change" happened in Zelda TP at the end and didn't include Sheik (before -> after). They only showed the image from her Final Smash, which is totally blurry. For what reason? I'd agree there's that image, but unless they elaborate from where it is I wouldn't add something, and it only shows how the Final Smash looks like. The Sheik confirmation is totally unconvincing, we've had fake news and wrong speculation in the past. In any case, when I put up those Special Moves boxes to the characters section of this page, I agreed only when they are kept clear from any speculation, so either that, or we can return to a gallery of the characters images and the pages of the characters explain more, the spam is getting on my nerves. - 08:45, 11 January 2008 (EST)
 * I agree with Cobold on this, all of this information seems very speculative, and I don't think it is worth noting... at this current time.

Due to the recent spamming I propose this article getting protected. Who else agrees? http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif

 * 2) - There's been enough spam and speculation, a protection wouldn't hurt for a bit. Still it's a bit of a problem when only sysops can edit it, this gets updated every day and is the page with most revisions on the entire wiki. So the protection shouldn't last all too long.
 * 3) Javier12345 - yesterday one user added to Captain Olimar fairy powers.
 * 4) Blitzwing - Per everyone, this page get spammed at least once a day, it's ridiculous.
 * 5) Kamicciolo - its probably better if only a few users could edit this article because sometimes its just rediculous
 * 6) A week, maybe, a Month at the most. Just don't make it permanent!

Keep it this Way (Unprotected)

 * 1) Considering there is new info EVERY day, I beilive having in a sysop-only page is troublesome. HyperToad
 * 2) I think I'm too late, but whatevs.  I really wonder if everyone realized that this was going to be a sysop-only page.  Can't you just pull a Wikipedia and not let new users edit it?  I dunno.  Just seems a l'il unfair to the sysops to make it their duty to edit this page now, but I can't speak for them.

Comments
Whenever the game comes out in Japan or NA, everyone gonna want to add crap, so... We'll definitly wanna protect it then, it comes out in Japan in like two weeks, right? HyperToad


 * Okay then. With so many "Protect" votes, I guess it's time to protect this. The protection will expire January 24, 2008 which also happens to be the day Brawl is released in Japan. [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] Paper Jorge [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]]

Stumpers: Wikipedia also has the option to disable editing for newly registered users only. It would of course be better if we'd get such a function instead. - 15:12, 12 January 2008 (EST)

I think you can protect this page from new users by using autoconfirm. You can also set the amount of days the user should have been here before editing the page. Maybe Wayoshi knows how. 12:03, 13 January 2008 (EST)
 * The only options in the protection form currently are Open for All Users - Block Unregistered Users (superflous as unregistered can't edit anyway) - Sysops only. Maybe we need an extension to do that. - 12:07, 13 January 2008 (EST)
 * Ah, but block unregistered users actually means users less than 4 days old can't edit, I had Steve change that long ago. So I'll change the protection to semi. 12:11, 13 January 2008 (EST)
 * Just changed the interface message to "Block new users". I wish I saw this sooner, such a simple solution...it is mostly new users spamming up the article, right? 12:19, 13 January 2008 (EST)


 * Yes. [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] Paper Jorge [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]]
 * Thanks, Wayoshi! 16:14, 13 January 2008 (EST)

Brawl Central
Can Brawl Central be considered a reliable site? They have much info about Whobby 2008, which could really help the Wiki.

I think brawl central is a fake; not needed.

Brawlcentral is REAL. They give us info from the new demo and stuff. They are 100% legit.--King Boo 20:56, 13 January 2008 (EST)


 * I'd say its reliable...for now. The Japan release date is noyl two weeks away. [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] Paper Jorge [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]]
 * Link! Gimme link! Seriously, when talking about other websites, you'd do good in providing a link to it, so that we don't have to google it and guess. - 08:00, 14 January 2008 (EST)
 * http://www.brawlcentral.com/ Sorry. Oh, and someone went ahead and put some of this stuff up already.

... So, can we rely on Brawl Central then?

All characters' special moves and Final Smash names confirmed
Sheik's profile on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website isn't the only one that features the names of a character's special moves and Final Smash. This applies for the other characters, as well. Even though specific moves didn't have updates yet, they are listed there nonetheless. For example, Bowser's profile states that his side special move is the "Flying Slam" (replacing "Koopa Klaw" from Melee) and Olimar's Final Smash is "End of Day". ElementGodX
 * This is truly interesting. Thank you for alerting us. I'll get to it right away! Again, thanks.
 * You're welcome. :) ElementGodX

This could just be, the BIGGEST NEWS YET!
...*Ahem*

By looking at this Wikipedia disscussion, one can see the main point of what I'm saying. Basicly, a jpanise video was posted on the offical Wii site here. I believe that the section of the video was removed, but image can be found here and here one sees in the boxed area, emblems of NESS, LUCIARO, and JIGGLYPUFF. Look at the wikipedia disscussion for more. HyperToad

Okay, I just watched the video, and THE EMBLEMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. All the more reason that this is offical, as they wouldn't of removed them if they didn't mean it was a leak! HyperToad 10:54, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * "Biggest News yet"? We still shouldn't integrate them into the article, we'd have nothing to say, no image to show, no move to list. So you have to be patient, it's only a week and a half until release. - 10:58, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * Yeah but then we'll get a whole bunch of random crap from people who have claimed to play the game, I don't see how we can't include this. I'm going to wait for more responds. HyperToad


 * Maybe add this into the Luciario, Ness and Jiggly article? That they are going to be in Brawl? [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] Paper Jorge [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]]
 * 1) There is currently no Lucario article. 2) We won't get a whole bunch of random crap from people, there's a reason why this page is semi-protected. If the spam still becomes much, we can make it Sysops-only again as well. 3) There have been updates to Ness's and Jigglypuff's article, but of quite low quality. - 11:30, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * The emblems still in the video... i see this right now at minutte 4:20--Caith Sith 11:33, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * I've seen the emblems and I know that that means that the characters are in. Still, we should wait with updating this page before we have anything more to show than an emtpy box in the character table with only the name listed. The information can go to Ness and Jigglypuff, but still not in the form it is right now. - 11:35, 21 January 2008 (EST)


 * Yes, of course. [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] Paper Jorge [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] And I think we're going to have to wait until Lucario-whatever is revealed officially.

First of all, I want to make to any people who are NEW TO THIS DISSCUSSION that we arn't taking about series emblems. Second of all, can't we state it under the boxes, cuz I agree, adding 3 new boxes with no artwork or special moves is pointless, but under it (next to the desciption of when the characters were confirmed and stuff) we could add something. HyperToad
 * Major high-fives to all involved! How did everyone predict Lucidcaro-garo-whatever?  I thought that was just fan speculation, but there you go!  Nice!  Anyway, my vote goes for the posting a notice at the bottom of the character sections and posting about Lucario on the Pokemon page... so just more support here. ;)  12:49, 21 January 2008 (EST)

I have misunderstaning? if noy series emblems, then what do you mean? - Ultimatetoad


 * Pictures of the character's head. [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] Paper Jorge [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]] In the Sticker Section.


 * Good job Hypertoad. This is definitely a good source of info, as it came from an official Nintendo website. However, they may be cut from the final game (not likely though). Lucario does make a lot of sense since Sakurai is focusing more on popular Pokemon rather than the legendaries (Mewtwo was still a legendary, but perhaps the most popular one). Otherwise, how could a Pikachu stand up to a Mewtwo in the real Pokemon world? Anyway, we should make a note of it - a brief note -but don't go too much and detail and probably link the image as a source. 15:23, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * "Don't go too much and detail..." ? What? Seriously though, what do you mean by not going too much into detail? I don't think they will scrap a character, because at this stage of the game, all models have to be designed, moves to be created, etc. etc. There would be no reason to remove a character last minute because he wouldn't be popular enough, removing someone at this stage would meen a character less, not a different as replacement. - 15:27, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 * Sorry, this is WAAAAAAAAAY too speculative. I say, leave it off the article, for now. The games release is soon, so just wait.
 * Good point. It's like 10 days.  Did you see the Wikipedia talk page?  They're eating each other alive about what Wikipedia is and isn't... so rude and pompus!  Thanks for being so down to earth about this and everything else, everyone.  21:37, 21 January 2008 (EST)

Lol, I was just on my way to updating info on this when I thought I should take it to the talk page first, and look what I've come to find. Well anyway, here's a kotaku.com article with images! http://www.mediafire.com/?an2xdhdbxev Fixitup

So if we're removing it does that mean the mentions of Brawl on Ness and Jigglypuff go too? I don't see how this is speculitive, speculation is non-evidenced assumsions, whilt this is evidenced offical video stuff! And DP, yeah we could wait, but then the people who want to know about who's in SSBB NOW won't know the whole truth. We are a wiki, and a wiki's goal is to give as much infomation as possible. HyperToad
 * I don't think so. We should give as much quality information as possible, but refrain from unneeded and/or unsure info. - 08:41, 22 January 2008 (EST)
 * Guys, just hold up. 9 more days and this will be a non-issue. If they're in the final version, you should mention the leak.  If not, don't.  We shouldn't be wasting our time on the issue of whether to include a footnote.  But, yes, I do realize there's some principle stuff here.   14:39, 22 January 2008 (EST)

Why wait when we can give helpful infomation NOW. If people who read this page tomarrow look at it, there going to think "Oh, Lucario, Jigglypuff and Ness arn't confirmed", and then they might find out a week later. But why not give the info now!?! HyperToad
 * Because we are not a news source for Brawl, we want to document the game. For news about latest leaks and rumors you can go to sites like Brawl Central, the Super Mario Wiki isn't one of them, though. - 09:04, 23 January 2008 (EST)
