How to switch to Zero Suit Samus easily during a match

without comments

There are several ways to become Zero Suit Samus in Smash Bros Brawl.

  1. Hold down the R button on the gamecube controller. (classic controler: R button, nunchuck combo: Z button, Wii Remote only – minus button)
  2. Destroy the final smash ball using Samus and activate her final smash. Remember that this works both ways, so if you play with items you can switch back from Zero Suit Samus.
  3. Tap the up and down taunt back and forth until she changes. Note: you cannot change back using this method, so make sure you want Zero Suit Samus.

I found method three impossible to do, so I looked it up online and found this video on youtube. After watching it, I can easily change to Zero Suit Samus. Take a look.

If this video ever gets taken down, this action is easiest to perform if you turn the controller sideways and use one finger to basically rub the d-pad from the center from up taunt to down taunt and back very fast like you are trying to rub some dirt off of something with a single finger.

Hopefully this helps someone.

As an added bonus: You can select Sheik from the character select screen by moving the hand down over Sheik’s picture after selecting Zelda and clicking on Sheik. You can click back on Zelda as well.

Babylon A.D. – Directors Cut Needed

without comments

So I went to see Babylon AD this weekend.  I like Vin Diesel movies, so I thought I’d give this one a try, even though it looked like it might not be that great.

And it turned out that the movie was pretty bad.  The camera motion especially.  During fight scenes and car chases the camera jerks around so much that you can’t even tell what’s going on.  Maybe people think that jerking the camera around makes the movie more exciting, but it doesn’t.  It makes the movie nauseating.  And while I won’t spoil it for people who have yet to watch the movie, I hated the ending.  It was lame.  The weird thing was, the whole movie seemed kind of disconnected and not quite right.  It seemed like the movie could have been much better.  I was reading about it on wikipedia and stumbled onto the fact that the movie was taken away from the director and royally screwed up from what it originally was.  Here’s what wikipedia says about it:

Director Mathieu Kassovitz has expressed outright disgust with the distributors, 20th Century Fox, for removing the movie from his control and altering it significantly. He described the film as “pure violence and stupidity” and that “parts of the movie are like a bad episode of 24.”

This makes me wonder, if a directors cut was ever released would he fix it back to how he intended it to be and make it a good movie, or did 20th Century Fox remove the movie from his control early enough to make it so that it’s not salvagable.

Anyway, if it is possible, Director Kassovitz, it would be great if you would release a directors cut and save us from the bad movie Babylon A.D. has become.
