Rumor: Smash Bros. Brawl might have third-party physics engine

Havoc LogoWe know almost nothing about Smash Bros. Brawl that Nintendo hasn’t spoon-fed us through their Smash Bros. Dojo website.  There is, however, one strong rumor working through the mills.

Havoc, a maker of game development tools, briefly listed Smash Bros. Brawl on its website as one of the official sponsors of their software, along with Halo 3 and PAIN.  Just as soon as it was posted, it was gone without comment.  There hasn’t been much press about it but it’s far too juicy to be a coincidence.  Over at the Smashboards blog, there are a handful of screencaps that explain what this might mean for the game.

One of the hallmarks of Super Smash Bros., and to a lesser extent, Smash Bros. Melee, is the wild and sometimes unpredictable physics that include being hit toward one direction and launched in another.  Having a professionally designed physics engine might nudge the game toward more competitive multiplayer respectability.
