SSB: Salvage

Greetings all, Algus Underdunk here, still persistantly around after the various trials and tribulations that brought down the NSider Forums, and where I frequently could be found, the Smash Boards. Most of you familiar with my work know of the volumous topics I made full of information, and shortly it seems they will cease to exist entirely, along with the NSider boards. Thusly, I'm going to be retrieving my creations and putting them here, in an effort to salvage the work. Also, I've added a few links to the very bottom of this page, one to the official Brawl site, one to my DA site where most of my completed artwork goes.

Current News:

So very soon now... I did another update of the Know Your Newcomers and The Franchises of Brawl Thus Far. The 'I So Called It' page isn't quite ready yet so don't bother checking down there. I'd also like to mention that I'm tinkering with my own programming skills in what you might call the next evolution of my 'concept sketches'...

About a week left now, hmm? Ay, I'm excited, and in my anxiety I'd almost forgotten that the Brawl site had updated with information that I'd forgotten to document. Thanks to Torus of DeviantArt for reminding me to update. Okay, so there are spoilers on this site now, it's official. If you're looking to avoid all info, best stay away from here, or at least any section I've updated past today's date. The Know Your Newcomers section has been updated, with in-game images accompanying any character who is now in SSBB, and what capacity they fill, i.e., Pokeball, Assist, Playable, and so on. This will be updating along with the official site, hopefully. Also, I've updated the Franchises of Brawl with a number of icons, as well as a number of franchises I've seen myself.

So very soon now... but I'm happy to announce that the franchise section has finally been updated! Woo! Playable Captain Olimar and Pikmin! Or as we call them in my native country, Steves.

It's official, my heart's been broken by a simplistic update... I think I need a few minutes... anyhoo, I've update the franchises page.

~Dec. 05, 2007
Just a little more than two months now... The character franchise page has been updated, and the Grand Finale is complete! Check it out at Algus's Deviant Art Page.

~Nov. 22, 2007
Happy Thanksgiving! Has it really been a month? Wow.... well, first thing's first, I updated the franchise page with Saki from Sin & Punishment. Also, happy to say that I'm over halfway done with my own Grand Finale, which you can find over at my Deviant Art page. Here's a link to it: Algus's Deviant Art Page.

Added another franchise to the list of franchises.... surprise surprise. I've also taken the time to add 'back' buttons to each page, that lead back to the main index, and finally today heralds the return of the Viciously Hard Nintendo Riddles. Aside from just listing the answers and who got it, I'll add in an explanation as to how the answer's arrived at, especially for the trickier ones.

-Oct. 03, 2007
Pretty wild to see Lucas pop up, eh? There's an update to the Franchises of Brawl with the reveal of the Excite Bike Assist Trophies.

-Sept. 27, 2007
Everyone saw Pokemon Trainer's Final Smash I trust, and it's a great call back to the original Pokemon games that first came out. But anyhoo, I'm still working on coloring that huge Grand Finale (almost done with the biggest fourth of it), but in the meantime, there's another new Concept Sketch! It's the Hidden Garden from Pikmin 2, an area I've been fond of since I first saw it.

The Franchises of Brawl Thus Far - Updated Last on 03/06/08
With all the various characters and franchises, it's tricky to keep track of who has shown up yet or not. So, here's the full grouping of every franchise that's appeared thus far in Smash Brothers: Brawl. There's a snippet of music now as well...

Want a snazzy signature to use in forums showing Nintendo characters running into one another? Then look no further than the customizable signatures free to use within.

I So Called That... - Updated Last on 03/06/08
So, with all of that presupposing and conceptual designing I did prior to Brawl's release, anyone out there wonder what I actually nailed right on the nose? Well that's what this section is all about, things I preconceptualized that surprised even me when they actually appeared in Brawl.
