There have been some cool Brawl updates to work their way down the pipeline lately.

First of all, a stage creator. I am amazed. I love all stage creators and level editors. I know that when I get the game I will probably devote a solid amount of time to creating peculiar levels to battle on. Like a level comprised of distant platforms that results in most fighting taking place in the air through jumps. And all sorts of levels based on designs from other games (games that were not included in the regular game).

Second of all, Krystal. Apparently the woman who does the voice and motion capture for Krystal in Star Fox Adventures is listing on her resume - perhaps prematurely - that she did motion capture and voice for three characters in Brawl: Knuckle Joe, Zero Suit Samus and Krystal. We already knew about the first two, but hearing about Krystal’s confirmation adds her to the list of “slip ups” which currently only housed Ganondorf and Sheik. (FYI: A model designer for Brawl who was dealing with Animal Crossing designs accidentally let it slip in an interview).

Now, granted, Krystal could just be an Assist Trophy. But I’ll keep my fingers crossed that Sakurai’s desire for more female characters will result in her playability.
