Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Difference between revisions

[[Link]]'s design in the game is taken from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. He is a returning character from the very start of the Smash Brothers (Bros.) series. He is usable from the very start of the game. His moves are based on items he gained in the game: [[Bow]], [[Bomb]]s, [[Clawshot]] and [[Gale Boomerang]]. He uses the [[Master Sword]] and [[Hylian Shield]] that has pretty much become a staple of the Links that appear in the Smash Bros. series. Link and Toon Link share a similar moveset, but the difference between them is really in their abilities. Link is heavier and slower than Toon Link, but he isn't as floaty and is more powerful than his toony counterpart. His [[Final Smash]] is shared once again. It is called Triforce Slash and it traps a character in a Triforce as Link slashes repeatedly. If another character touches the Triforce shape or Link during the attack, they could get trapped too, but they will definitely get damaged and knocked back significantly. Once the onslaught is done, Link will slash once more and send the other character flying, usually to their KO.

Sheik's design is taken from the beta version of Twilight Princess where she was supposedly going to appear. She returns, along with Zelda, from Smash Bros. Melee. Sheik and Zelda work together like two halves; Zelda's flaws are more or less covered by Sheik while Zelda returns the favour by covering Sheik's weaknesses. Sheik and Zelda are usable from the start of the game. Sheik is a very fast character and not a very light character, but her attacks aren't very powerful and don't knockback characters very much. She uses martial arts generally, along with a chain and needles which can be charged up to throw them further. She can use Transform to change into Zelda at any point during a match, which also gives her invicibility for a short time. She shares her Final Smash - Light Arrow - with Zelda.

Ganondorf's design is taken from Twilight Princess like the three characters before. He also returns from Smash Bros. Melee, but has been significantly changed. Ganondorf was considered a clone of Captain Falcon in Melee, while in Brawl he is now given different animations when compared to Captain Falcon (even though they do share similar moves)He is a powerhouse character; he is heavy, slow and quite powerful. Ganondorf in an unlockable character in the game. Three ways to unlock him are; play 200 brawls, complete Classic Mode with Link/Zelda on Hard or get Ganondorf to join the party in the Subspace Emmisary. With the exception of the latter option, Ganondorf must be beaten in a 1v1 match on Final Destination before unlocking completely. Ganondorf's moveset is very similar to Captain Falcon's. The Warlock Punch is extremely similar to the infamous Falcon Punch, but it's more powerful and a little slower. The main differences than Ganondorf has to Captain Falcon is that his moves are more powerful and therefore cause more knockback on characters. Beast [[Ganon]] is his Final Smash. Ganondorf changes into his Beast form (Twilight Princess design, of course) and roars/stomps on the ground with front legs - which causes all the characters touching the stage to be paralysed. Ganon then dashes off to the side of the stage, dragging along any characters he touches along to their KO. Ganondorf then returns to the point where he activated the Final Smash to continue the fight or to taunt.

Ganondorf has the usual amount of 6 pallet swaps: Grey/Purple Armour (default), Black Armour, Blue Armour, Red Armour, Green Armour and Brown Armour.

[[Toon Link]] is a character based on the Link seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. He acts as a replacement for Young Link, who was the second version of Link in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In game, he uses the shield from Wind Waker, as well as the [[Master Sword]], the [[Boomerang]], the Hero's Bow, the Bombs, and the [[Hookshot]]. Statistically, he is faster than Link, but also weaker and lighter. He can alo do the Upward and Downward Thrust moves from ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', wheras Link cannot. His Final Smash - Triforce Slash - is shared with Link.

[[Tingle]] is an assist trophy and not a playable character. He can either help or hinder the player, by doing one of several actions. Tingle isn't a hated Assist Trophy but he isn't one of the most liked either.

At random points, [[King Bulblin]] comes along the stage riding on [[Lord Bulbo]], damaging any players he comes into, and drops a bomb in the centre of the bridge, blowing it up. Sometimes, a [[Bulblin]] will follow him along and fall down the hole created. Eventually, a Twilight portal will open and refill the gap in the bridge with a new piece. Once the hole is present, players can fall down and lose a 'life'.

In the background of the stage, [[Hyrule Castle]] is present in it's Twilight Princess incarnation, of course.

There are several different things that happen to the stage:

*At some points, the ship will hit a rock and not move for a while. Players can stand and fight on the rock, but they must get back onto the ship as it starts to move again unless they want to lose a 'life'.

The Temple stage makes a return from Smash Bros. Melee. It is a multi-level stage which is based off of Zelda II's Temples. It's not a stage full of traps or anything, it's actually just a very large stage that has no real dangers other than falling from the bottom. In the background of the stage, there are several buildings - one of which is thought to be the [[Temple of Time]] from Ocarina of Time but that is a debated matter.  

Temple is actually one of the more hated stages in Melee and Brawl because of the fact that it is so big, the fact that players can just run all over the stage to dodge any combat and that taunt parties (matches where players continously taunt and don't fight each other) take place there so often.

The Subspace Emmisary is the Story Mode in Smash Bros. Brawl and it incorperates all but three of the unlockable characters in the storyline.  

Toon Link is one of the three characters not a part of the Subspace Emmisary. Instead, a door appears in one of the stages that takes the player to a battle with Toon Link.

'''[[Heart Container]]''': This item has been in all three games in the series. Like it was in Melee, it's a recovery item that heals a character by 100%.

'''[[Deku Nut]]''': This item causes characters to be stunned and therefore easier to hit, but this only happens on the ground. If someone is hit in the air by the item, it will cause them 18% damage and - most likely - KO them.
