Smash updates...

All right, first off I'd like to say that this darned computer won't allow me to save images, and thus you won't be able to see 'em... on my blog, atleast. Obviously you can go over to smashbros.com to see the newly released images, or even IGN for god's sake.

I'm sure you've already checked the updates out via other websites or blogs, though I feel like it's my obligation to do so as well, so here they are -

Stickers
One of the coolest updates this month - Stickers. They're not exactly trophies (which the director pretty much confirmed would be returning when he stated "Stickers are easier to get a hold of than trophies."). So, what exactly are they? Well, they're just all ready released artwork from seemingly random Nintendo games that you'll be able to add to your very own virtual scrap book.

Ones I've see so far from the images include -

*Rawk Hawk (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)
*Pak E. Derm (Yoshi's Story)
*Star (New Super Mario Bros.)
*Monkey (DK: Jungle Beat)
*Balloon Fighter (Balloon Fighter)
*Earth (Probably Mother/Earthbound)
*That spikey Kirby enemy (Kirby series)
*Gumshoe (?) character (Gumshoe)
*Mario Party block (Mario Party series)
*Toad (Mario series, not sure which game the artwork came from)
*F-Zero racer (Not sure which characters')
*Nintendog (Nintendog)
*Hammer Brother (New Super Mario Bros.)
*Brain Accademy dude (Need I say?)
*Lon Lon Milk (Ocarina of Time)
*Kirby (Don't know which game this artwork came from)
*Wario (Super Mario Strikers)
*Donkey Kong (Mario Superstar Baseball)
*Pianta (Super Mario Sunshine)
*Samurai Goroh (F-Zero)
*Ike (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)
*Wario's kart (Mark Kart: Double Dash!!)

Obviously there will be more, but those are the ones that were shown in the images.

Tether Recovery

This is a technique that was first found in Melee, and it seems to be returning. What is it? Well, if you're too far away from the ledge and you can't use your up-b move, then some characters will throw out their whip (or something else similar such as a hook shot), and if they are able to hit the ledge with it, it'll latch on and bring you up. The only character for Brawl so far confirmed to be able to do this is Zero Suit Samus, where she'll use her whip.

However, he states that other characters will also be able to do this. He didn't say who, though I have some ideas - Obviously armored Samus Aran and Link could use their hookshot, and maybe even Yoshi could use his sticky tounge to do so.
