Dairantou X [Super Smash Brothers Brawl] review:
I'm not claiming this to be in anyway accurate, it's what I picked up in the three hours I played. I'll play some more throughout the week and add.
After playing the game for about 3 hours last night, I decided that I would write a quick write up for you guys. The sad news is... they made it really noob friendly, I don't really see a future in tournament play. It's extremely pretty (I love the new look and sounds of EVERYTHING!). The game almost reminds me of the N64 version. Although it's really smooth and pretty, it's become pretty floaty. The old characters have mostly the same moves. The only difference I've noticed is Falco has his own move set. I've yet to figure out the button combination to get Shiek and Zero Suit Samus out at the beginning like SSBM. I'm also going to note that L cancelling is gone, float cancelling with peach is still out there. The game overall seems a little slower and more floaty.
Character [spoiler warning]:
Mario: seems about the same
Donkey Kong: yet to play with
Link: changed up his boomerang and his up B on the ground can now be charged
Samus: no changed completely seen so far
Kirby: no changed completely seen so far
Fox: seems a little slower but the game just seems slower, his smash attacks seem poor without charging. 120% forward smash barely sent them anywhere
PIkachu: yet to play
Marth: FLOATY, double FAIR is very easy to perform! his over B combos now keep the enemy within them, ie over B three times will finish everytime
Mr Game and Watch: yet to unlock
Luigi: not played yet
Diddy: not played
Zelda: not played
Shiek: seems to be the same (fair is nerfed, knock-back sucks)
Pit: I'm planning on playing with him some... I love how the glide works and the up B recovery is INSANE! They implemented a new aerial system
Metaknight: similar to Pit, I love both of them
Falco: seems to have a new move set, didn't play with him yet. When I faught him to unlock he was throwing his reflector...
Pokemon Trainer: nice little guy, only played once very shortly
Ike: very slow but very powerful (reminds me of gannon) haven't played with him much
Snake: I personally do not like him, only played a couple times. The use of his grenades are poor and I don't like his rocket system, very vulnerable at close range...
Peach: onyl played once, seems to be same concept (not sure about stitched face turnips) they say she has her down smash nerfed?
Yoshi: not played
Ganondorf: not unlocked
Ice climbers: not played
King DeDeDe: fun character, only messed around with once (the new bowser, kind of slow)
Lucario: not played
Ness: not played, seems to be the same
Sonic: not unlocked
Koopa (Bowser): He seems to be top tier material (if tournaments were going to be held) he seems a lot faster and has the same moves for the most part. A lot more effective this time around
Wario: not played
Toon Link: not unlocked
Robot: not unlocked
Olimar: seems to be a wierd system with the Pikmin, I didn't get into it much... doesn't seem like my type. pluckign the pikmin is instant from the ground and they come back to you after you throw them. you can also get rid of them at will
Captain Falcon: not unlocked
Purin (Jigglypuff): not unlocked (I WANT MY SLEEP!)
Lucas: not played
Well, I hope I didn't waste your time too much. I'm excited for the American version. I'll just try to get my skills way up until then and figure out which of the characters I like the best and have the upper edge on my friends
