Dojo Updates: Manaphy and More

Manaphy

It’s Manaphy! This Pokémon also appeared in a movie.

This Manaphy is quite different from the other Pokémon that appear in this game. So much so that you’ll think, is this even possible?! Or words to that effect.

It appears from the Poké Ball!

Heart Swaaaaaaaaap!

………

Nothing happened…? No. That is not so.

Why, Zelda and DK have switched bodies! Wait… You mean, I’m her, and she’s me?!

AAAUUUGGGHHH!

You have to fight as your opponent for a while! They say it’s good to know your enemy.

But you haven’t really swapped places, so if you jump off the edge, it counts as a self-destruct for you. And your damage meter remains as it was.

After a certain amount of time, you go back to normal.
Phew. Good.

I missed monday’s so here they are! Things always seem to end well in this game, don’t they?

There’s a web page nestled within Nintendo’s official site where Mr. Iwata, President of Nintendo Co. Ltd., interviews other Nintendo employees. This corner of the website is known as “Iwata Asks.”

For some reason, I, Masahiro Sakurai, was invited to one of these interviews.

Wha–?

But I’m not a Nintendo employee! I-is this OK? Are we seriously doing this? Oh, is that so? All right, well, if you insist!

I imagine this interview should give you a tiny glimpse behind the curtains to see what creating Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been like.

<Light Arrow>

In the final battles of many of the Legend of Zelda games, you didn’t want to be low on arrows. A lot of times they were Silver Arrows, though…

Zelda’s ace in the hole is the magical Light Arrow, which you can use even as Sheik.

Ready for the Final Smash!

Draw the bow tight…

Fire! A beam of light pierces your enemy.

Your enemy is blown away by a tremendous force!

When you’re using Sheik, some of the characteristics of the attack will change, like the direction your opponent gets knocked in.

It’s good to use the character whose attack is best suited to the cover on each stage, but you probably shouldn’t worry TOO much about that.

After all, once they’re hit, they’re pretty much done for.

If you’re just playing one-on-one though, the Light Arrow might be easy to dodge. Try to create a situation where you have a good shot.

    Manaphy looks pretty cool. Such an interesting idea with a pokemon. This game keeps getting better. I can hardly wait!
