Zero Suit Samus' final smash move is described by Sakurai today, in the official Super Smash Bros Brawl update. Basically, what happens is that Samus gets her Power Suit back. Yea, that's it. Apparently the ball of energy surrounding her while she transforms can suck enemies in. Soaring through all the galax-ies. It's about time this happened. I might be a while, make me a coffee. Where'd...... read more

In Brawl, Olimar once again climbs aboard his ship and blasts off to safety. Fighters on the ground will be subjected to bulborbs and...... read more

Ladies and gents, silence please. Another week of service and I'm retiring. Carnage! I told you not to...... read more

Wario goes under the microscope today, in the official Super Smash Bros Brawl update. For his final smash he will turn into Wario-Man. Becoming Wario-Man you still don't have any devastating moves at your disposal, but you have some new abilities and can fend off attacks easier. Better freshen up. I must look so cool right now. The abuse ends here. There's a new daddy in town. Wa-Haa,...... read more

Lucas' final smash is the second part of today's Super Smash Bros Brawl update. It's called PK Starstorm. Using his psychic energy, a barrage of PSI power rains down from the air.

Wahooooooo. The...... read more
