Ready to Brawl!? Part 2 (More characters)

Well we'll continue with the characters list. I want to tell to all gamers who haven't been able to get all the characters that you may fine some spoilers up ahead. Just a warning.
Link: The hero of time is back to join the fight. Link has been in the Super Smash Bros. series since the first game. He is a great swords men, he isn't the quickest or the most agile. But he sure has great combos and a great variety of items from his games, The Legend of Zelda. Link is a very important part of the NINTENDO franchise therefore its no surprise that he continues to surprise everyone with his great moves and power. Link is one of the less capable of jumping characters, even after playing around with some monkeys in The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess, it seems that he has learned nothing. When playing in the subspace emissary its recommended to use a character with good jumping abilities due to all the jumping around you must do.
Basic Move Set:
Special: With the special move our hero of time will take out his Hero Bow that made its appearance in The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. After getting it out of the Goron Mines Link now uses it as his projectile attack. Link can charge the arrows for a few seconds. (When you see a little twinkle its charged to its most) The arrow can fly a considerable distance but it causes a little damage, still a very good move.
Up-Special: The hero in green will do a very characteristic move of his. (This move can also be charged) Using his sword Link will spin attacking any character next to him, its a very powerful move and if you jump then use it you can make Link look like a helicopter and elevate himself some.
Down-Special: Link will get a bomb out from the hidden compartment in his shield... yeah... (e.e") Link can hold it for a few moments it will start getting smaller and bigger and changing colour. When its colour is bright red and changing quickly its about to explode. It works just as any item and you can throw it by pressing  (A).
Side-Special: Our favorite hero will get out the Gale Boomerang a boomerang that is uh... "possess" by a fairy of the winds. When Link throws the boomerang it will create a small tornado if another character is caught in the tornado it will be dragged back to Link.
Princess Zelda: She is the wielder of the Triforce of Wisdom. Zelda is able to control some magic to use as defense and attack. All that time being captured by Ganondorf seems to have thought her some of self defense. She is very quick and can jump a little better than the Hero of Time can. She has a very good easy to use "projectile" and capable of teletransportation. And out of my love for the series my dog is named Zelda, here is a picture for you'll, she's a cute hyper blue heeler.
Basic Moves Set:
Special: Zelda will be surrounded by some type of blue crystals this crystals vary in the time they last between the ground and the air. They're quite useful when she is being attacked with projectiles the crystals will reflect the projectiles back to the attacker.
Up-Special: Zelda will use her magic to teleport herself either up, to the side, or even down. This move also causes a little damage if Zelda appears next to someone. It can be easily controlled by using the control stick.
Down-Special: With down special Zelda will transform into Sheik the character from The Legend of Zelda. As Sheik she will turn back to Zelda.
Side-Special: Zelda using her magic abilities will create a small orange-reddish orb one can control the direction of this orb by making it move up or down the farther from Zelda the faster the orb will go and the harder it is to control. When you click special ones more the orb will explode with great energy causing damage to those around.
Sheik: She is a survivor of the Sheikah clan seen in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When Zelda had to escape the castle to avoid being captured by Ganondorf. When running away she was taken care by Impa of the Sheikah clan, Impa continued to take care of her and thought her the way of the Sheikah. During Link's adventure she constantly offers her help by teaching Link different songs and telling him of what has been going on. In SSBB Sheik is very fast but her moves are not very strong, she's capable of great jumps and is on of the few characters with the ability to hold to the walls.
Basic Move Set:
Special: The Sheikah clan character will charge some needles between her fingers (Reminds me of Wolverine! X3) you can charge this move for a moment of not charge it, the more you charge it the farther away the needles will fly. (If you pause the game after using this move you can look around and actually find the needles stuck to the walls! Fun Fact c:). This move can be used in the air and Sheik will launch the needles down and diagonally.
Up-Special: Same as Zelda a cute jump and teletransportation. The main difference is that Sheik will cause more damage to the characters to her sides by using an explosion.
Down-Special: Transformation back to Zelda (Can be used to avoid Kirby's Final Smash and some other things)
Side-Special: Probably the most fun part of Sheik. (:D) She'll take out a little chain-whip thingy. It doesn't deal much damage but if you take it out and then move the control stick around a little you'll be able to move the chain in the direction you move the control stick.
Ganondorf: The demon warrior thief of Hyrule is back! Ganondorf is one of the heaviest characters EVER! He is incredibly powerful but very slow as well. It's funny to see him run 'cause he looks hilarious (Hope he doesn't read this and come looking for me... eep! o.o") Trying to control Hyrule wasn't enough for the king of darkness now he is also trying to control the whole subspace emissary.

Basic Move Set:
Special: This powerful character will charge with great power his fist covered with a purple aura thingy. Its a very powerful move that will surely send the other character flying and with a lot of damage.
Up-Special: All though Ganodorf is very heavy his recovery move isn't all that bad. He'll use his magic to boost himself up and if there's an enemy near he'll jump to the enemy and blow the darkness it also causes great damage.
Down-Special: Ganondorf will stomp very hard on its opponent. When in the air you can use it to get back on the stage if you have been thrown up. (Which is a little hard given to Ganondorf's great weight)
Side-Special: King of darkness will in some way "glide" to the nearest opponent and grabs him/her by the head and use the darkness to make and explosion and just thump it down on the ground. If this move is done in the air Ganondorf will grab his enemy and slam it to the ground. (Stay down, Sucker! XD)
Toon Link: This little pixar miniature of Link. Toon Link is the replacement of Young Link (I prefer young Link :c he was suh much cuter). Toon Link is way faster and more agile than his original version. Toon Link comes from the series of The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker and its followers

Basic Move Set: (Refer back to Link's Moves Set, they're the same except Toon Link is faster but a little weaker in attacks)

This is all for this week! Hope you liked it I'll continue working and please send me request for more video games to make reviews on them. Even if you don't I'm still doing them :P Dun't like? Don't read!

Ready to Brawl!? Part 1

Super Smash Bros. a game that comes from the 1999 during the time of the Nintendo 64. When Super Smash Bros. came out it was a huge success everyone was anxiosly waiting for this game. One of the first free-for-all fighter games that included the most important characters of the Nintendo franchise. Well back to the main theme. Ready to brawl?
Brawl in the latest game from the Super Smash Bros. chain of games. Brawl came out in 2008 for the Wii, the classic control could also be used in this game, it came with a few new fetures such as the story mode (I'll talk more about it later), more playable character (List of characters later on including the bosses and small enemies), new and more powerful bosses, as well as more creative and properly design stages (List of stages with up and downs farther down).
Brawl is a well design game each character has it own characteristic attacks. Other than the attacks a character are also different in their movement, power, defense, speed, jump ability, and others. In Brawl everything is greatly detailed in design. All the characters have great detail stages have small details that can be hard to notice at times but still give the stage such a real feeling.
List of Playable Characters:
Mario: Here we have a familiar plumber we all know and love. This red-hatted mustached man couldn't miss out on the fight and comes back to Brawl with all the other characters. Mario is a well used all-around character. May be a little slow when running but has great jumping ablities and adecuated strenght.
Basic Move Set:
Special: Mario will launch a small fire ball (left or right only). The fireball will bounce on the stage to the side for a few seconds until it disappears. When close to an edge the fireball will fall of the edge in an angle.
Up-Special: He'll boost himself up with and upper-cut punch. When doing this if close to another character/enemy coins will come out of his hand. This coins serve no real purpose other then effect but it gives a sense of nostalgia of the time when Mario would go around jumping on Goombas.
Down-Special: Mario will do a small spin/kick/break dance thingy. When doing this he'll hit the characters on both his sides. It's a good move but it'll keep you open for air attacks for a split second.
Side-Special: Mario will take a step to ehter side (right or left, depending of where you move your stick) and push his hand forward and make a small ball of fire on his hand. Remember when you grabbed the fireflower and you would be able to launch small fireballs to destroy its enemies. Here you'll be able to hold a fireball on your hand to cause a considerable amount of damage.
Luigi: Luigi is Mario's younger brother seen in many games he only has one game as the main playable character, Luigi's Mansion. Luigi is similar to his brother Mario with the same moves. Luigi is actually faster and has more, when Luigi uses one of his fire-based moves he's fire is green instead of orange. As Mario, Luigi is an overall character with decent moves and recovery jumps. The down side of both Mario and Luigi would be that though their moves and good they are short ranged therefor one must get quite close to the enemy to attack (except for the fireball, which doesn't land much damage)
Basic Moves: (Refer back to Mario's Move Set)
Princes Peach: Lovely Princes Peach makes her appearance in SSBB ones again. Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom she is in constant danger as Bowser continually kidnaps her. Peach is a great character, with some practice. Her attacks are not all that strong but are incredibly quick. She is capable of hovering momentarily when jumping up twice. Princess Peach even uses her subjects as defense, she will pull out a Toad to counter the attack.
Basic Move Set:
Special: When using special Peach will pull out a Toad when she does that and is attacked Toad will deflect the attack countering it back to the attacker causing the attacker damage.
Up-Special: When up smashing, Peach will jump into the air pulling out a white with pink decoration umbrella. She'll be boosted up but not much, when Peach's umbrella opens she'll start slowly descending. If you move the control stick down when the umbrella is out Peach will automatically put away her umbrella and fall down softly. Keep in mind that when dropping you can still move from side to side to be sure to land on a proper platform.
Down-Special: When down smashing she will pull out a turnip from Super Mario Bros. 2. The turnip will have different effects depending on the face. Normal face turnips (happy face) will have small amounts of damage. When using this move beware sometimes you could pull out a bomb-omb instead of a turnip, this bomb-omb will cause equal damage as an average bomb-omb will.
Side-Special: This one of Peach's most powerful moves, she'll give a little spin then launch at the enemy hitting it with a powerful "hip attack" pushing the enemy back as well.
Bowser: The most feared villan from the mushroom kingdom. Bowser is back as one of the bad guys from Super Smash Bros. Bowser is the heaviest character of all SSBB (Not including bosses) he's moves are a little slow but very powerful. Bowser uses his weight to his advantage during his moves. When Bowser runs he'll jump a little then "slide" across the ground, he kinda reminds me of a car when he does that.
Basic Move Set:
Special: Bowser will unleash his powerful firebreath, causing constant damage if used properly. When using this move if you move the control pad up and down, Bowser's head will also move up and down for more proper control.
Up-Special: This mutant (not so ninja) turtle will do a spin attack upward, he isn't able to jump too high up due to his incredible weight. But if in contact with another character he'll cause a good amount of damage to such character.
Down-Special: When on the ground Bowser will do something similiar to his Up-Special instead he'll spin on the ground causing damage as well. When in the air on the other hand, he'll do a small flip then "sit down" and slam butt first to the ground causing great damage, due to Bowser's weight.
Side-Special: This move is very dangerous for both Bowser and its victim. Bowser will slash at its victim hold it close. He'll then jump in the air, if the user so decides he/she can go kamikaze and drop yourself off the stage to kill both yourself and the victim. It's a fun and annoying attack!
Donkey Kong: Everyone's favorite gorilla is in the house! Donkey Kong has been in the party since the 64 version. DK is a large character and is very powerful, he is also slow as Bowser and very heavy. DK's long arms help it for slightly, ever so slightly, longer range hits. Unlike most characters DK doesn't have a projectile attack.

Basic Move Set:
Special: Our gorilla friend, doesn't have any sort of projectile. sniffle sniffle. BUT he has a great powerful arm that he spins around to charge when charged at full power it can send most characters flying (distance depends on damage percentage)
Up-Special: He'll use those large arms of his to boost himself up like a fricking helicopter! Spinning in the air he'll be able to boot himself up a good distance to reach platforms. Plus cause some damage to nearby enemies.
Down-Special: He'll be slam both powerful hand onto the ground shaking the ground a little. With great power any nearby victim will be damage considerably.
Side-Special: Clapping his hands together to either side not only does DK express his musical talent, he also shows how deadly and hard does primate arms can be.
Diddy Kong: This little monkey isn't so well known as DK, but he still is fun, cheerful, and awfully agile. Unlike DK he does have a projectile attack. It is probably one of the most peculiar projectile attacks of all the other characters. Diddy has a pair of guns made of wood that shoots out delicious peanuts!

Basic Move Set:
Special: He'll pull out a pair of peanut guns that are not only dangerous but are also yummy! When Diddy shoots his guns around the peanuts he shoots will at times break and any character can grab it and eat it to restore some of its damage percentage. This guns can be charge but if you overdo it the gun will explode and Diddy will be a sitting uh... monkey? for a brief moment.
Up-Special: This cute monkey will turn his peanut guns into some rockets to boost himself up. This can also be charged and have the same danger of exploding but instead of blowing up it'll just boost him up.
Down-Special: This silly monkey will stop for a moment and.... throw a banana peel to the ground! He oviously doesn't know what a trash can is. Beware of the banana if you step on it, you'll trip. Yeah very annoying.
Side-Special: Diddy will do something similar to Bowser. He'll jump on his opponents face causing little damage but immobilizing the other character for a moment.
Yoshi: The large nose dinosaur is joining the fun! Yoshi is Mario's fun companion. He is able to eat and turn into an egg any character though he has a very bad recovery attack the good side is that his jump is great. Yoshi will kick in the air repeatedly times getting him very high up.

Basic Move Set:
Special: This colourful dinosaur will stick his chameleon-like tongue to another character and eat him up, then uh... well... Yoshi will lay an egg from which the character will eventually pop up.
Up-Special: This large nose character will throw a smaller egg to the air, depending on how much you charge it the higher up it will fly.
Down-Special: Yoshi will jump high and slam hard onto the ground giving a lot of damage to the character he lands on and the ones on the close sides.
Side-Special: This funny egg laying creature not only turns his enemies into eggs, he also can turn himself into and egg and roll around the stage hitting all the enemies in his way.

Wario: In my opinion he is the most disgusting character ever. I mean really, he uses farts as a defense he is very fat (nothing against fat people) and just very weird. Anyway.... Wario is supposed to be similar to Mario in a way. I really see nothing in similar. Wario is a very greedy fellow and will do anything to get what he gets he'll even steal or cheat.


Basic Move Set:
Special: This fatty guy likes to eat, he'll take a bite of everything that is near. Wario with his special move will chomp to either side he is looking at taking the other character in his mouth for a moment and bitting down on in to eventually throw it away.
Up-Special: Wario will surprisingly jump into the air spinning and getting to a pretty high distance. It's a very proper recovery move.
Down-Special: One of the most nasty attacks. He'll fart and depending on how charged he is the fart could look like a nuclear mushroom shaped cloud.
Side-Special: This is a funny move Wario will pull out a Harley Davidson-like motorcycle with this motorcycle he can run over his enemies with ease. If he is knocked off his motorcycle he can get back on it by doing side special again over the bike. Wario can also eat his motorcycle! Beware Wario users because if Wario's bike is hit a couple times it will break, when that happens the tires can now be grabbed and thrown at others.

Well that was a heck of a job! I'll make part 2 later on with another 8 of the playable characters.
