SAKURAIIIIIIII

[CaptainBubba]

I think jump button update would have beaten this one actually : (

[Dr. V]

"Start button! Now you can, start the game! Wow! Watch it start! Even your friends who suck at games because that's who we at Nintendo really care about can start the game! WoHohOO!"

[Chojin]

What the fuck, guys? This spectator update is awesome ;<

Now I can just leave the wii on like a tv and it will constantly stream smash bros :o and you can bet coins too :o

Why am I the only one excited about this :o

There is a "Silver the Hedgehog" sticker in the corner of one of the screenshots.

i can understand just leaving it on and having it be like a t.v., that's awesome. but considering the update starts by talking about people who don't like to play fighting games and getting them involved, does sakurai really expect people to buy ssbb even though they don't play fighting games? pay 50 bucks to watch other people play?

[Chojin]

Well, I know that the non-fighting-game people I share a house with who also like the wii might get some fun out of it.

You also have to remember that this man is from japan, where the average occupancy of a home is 253.

Next update: Toad

[Emu]

Betting coins seems really exploitable to me. You could get a group of your friends and set one of them with a 100% handicap, then bet all your coins on him and then have your other friend take a dive so you win a ton.

That's all assuming coins actually do anything.

[Chojin]

You can only bet coins on the online matches, which are randomly assembled.

[noob3]

with the coins you'll be able to get random trophies AWEOSME

[bigtimecow]

Why? So you can get knocked 30 feet a 5%?

MONDAY'S UPDATE: TITLE SCREEN
The title screen makes a comeback! And as an added bonus, if you wait long enough, a demo of the game plays! It's just like Spectator Mode for people without an internet connection on their Wii, Only you don't win a thing!

[Dr. V]

Mine was funnier.

MONDAY'S UPDATE: DS CONTROLLER
With the new DS/Wii peripheral, you can now play on your favorite handheld! You can even use the stylus to press the B button. Of course, the action will only happen on your tv set, but you can see your status on the top DS screen.
We're looking into a Wi-Fi function so you can control your character wirelessly!

[Guitar Woman]

I'd love to hear what Sakurai's train of thought sounds like throughout the day.

Toothpaste...? So... This'll keep my teeth shiny and clean. Easy to understand, right?

[bigtimecow]

t-t-t-t-t-t-t-toothpaste!

[Guitar Woman]

YEAH

[CaptainBubba]

This entire update was already done before in September, why are you excited?

[Guitar Woman]

Ok, this takes a little bit of explaining:

There is this subculture full of idiots who believe Smash Brothers is meant to be played on even arenas without items or "cheap" characters, and they all practice playing Melee hours and hours a day so they can compete in tournaments with other people like them to win money and circle jerk. In these tournaments, they play only on Final Destination so there will be no random elements present (which is half the fun) and usually only play Fox or Marth, because the other characters are unfair to use. They also rely heavily on wavedashing and L-Canceling. /v/ refers to them as Tourneyfags. Smashboards is full of these bastards, and while normally I and most other people wouldn't give a crap, they seem to love boasting their superiority around the internet to anyone they can and are horribly annoying.

The "REAL MEN USE ITEMS" message in the update was basically Sakurai telling them to eat his dick, which is why I like it.
