Ike

From Fire Emblem, Ike appears! The fact that he can wield a two-handed sword with a single hand is a testament to his magnificent strength.

His brings his special move "Aether" with him as he crashes the Brawl party. Try for a single-stroke finishing blow with his mighty blade!

Mad wrote:Looks like Ike may be a Roy-type character, given the two-handed sword (probably handled similar to how Roy handles his sword) and one-hit KO move. I wonder if they'll have someone roughly equivalent to Marth (quick, good melee range, and fast attacks) or if they'll merge Roy and Marth.

his stage represents the Fire Emblem world.

It’s an enemy castle in the midst of battle – but it’s not set in a particular castle, nor is it from a particular game in the series.

It’s taking heavy fire, huh?

There are plenty of scenes like this throughout the Fire Emblem series, aren’t there? So imagine it however you choose.

Fireballs launched by catapults dance in the skies above the castle. Then, as time passes...

The floor shatters and everyone falls into the castle!

See the stone statues in the throne room? You can break them to bits.

Down it goes!

Oh, but it doesn’t end here.

Quick! To the underground!

What’s the underground like? You can look forward to finding out later.

Three Fire Emblem characters would be excessive. Fuck, TWO was excessive, only saved by the fact that they were awesome. It's 'Super Smash Brothers', not 'Fire Emblem Fighting Oh And Some Other Guys Like Mario'.

Ford Prefect wrote:Hey, three would be fine ... if there were something like a zillion other characters. I mean, unless they drop Ganondorf for no reason (which would be silly because he's awesome), there will be three Legend of Zelda characters - considering the Twilight Princess theme, it's unlikely that Kid Link will make an appearence. Perhaps wolf Link being ridden by Midna might appear though. That could be cool.

Stark wrote:Yeah, it'd be fine if it was King of Fighters-style 'every motherfucker we can squeeze into the game' stuff, but I think 3 out of say 50 characters for such an unknown game would be nuts. Unless they put in Ocelot and LoLo, and Link's fairy and Sonic and Knuckles and Doom Sonic and shit.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary is a robust side-scrolling action game!


–This is The Subspace Emissary!–

More than anything, Smash Bros. is a competitive action game. People have been kind enough to praise its multiplayer aspects, but we’ve never been able to create a fully-fleshed out single-player game.

This time, though, we’ve managed to create a complete side-scrolling action game. It’s storyline isn’t overwrought – it’s hastened along by a bunch of quick movies.

The Adventure mode also emphasises character development. You’ll see many famous characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories, shouldering their unique burdens... It’s really something you won’t see anywhere else.

With so many wonderful characters appearing together, it’s like a dream action game. We’re putting tons of fighting spirit into making this game, so I hope you’re all looking forward to it.

Oh, and this is all included in the same Game Disc, so rest easy.

They just told more than they intended to there: I think it's a safe bet that Peach is a playable character again.

This is an item that has absolutely no effect on characters...but it’s pretty fun.



When you hit something with one of these...



PSHHHHH! It releases a cloud of colored smoke!

As the cloud forms, it blocks your vision with an effective smoke screen.
If your opponent gets caught in a thick cloud of smoke, it’s a distraction, and if you’re covered in smoke, it’s harder for your opponent to see what moves you’re doing.



Hmm... So colorful!

You can even pick up Smoke Balls that are emitting smoke and carry them or throw them. Talk about smoke and mirrors!



Cough! Cough!

Ike’s up special move, obviously, is "Aether." And it is ethereal. Oh, yes.


Up Special Move: Aether


First he throws the sword!


Then he leaps after it and catches it in midair!


Then he swiftly plunges, slicing the air!

Of special importance is the fact that he is resistant to attacks for a moment right after throwing his sword.


He’s not flinching?!

He’s not really invincible—he still takes damage. But he won’t flinch in the slightest.

This time, there are several moves like this among the heavy characters, so watch out!

Oh, he also has this special move...


Standard Special Move: Eruption


His standard special move is called Eruption!
You can even charge this one up.

This is the part that interests me the most. This should really help the big, slow characters. They'll still take damage when pulling off their moves, but they won't be knocked out of them quite as easily.
