Super Smash bros. Brawl

I'ma win =)

Things of note
the game is really fun
everything that made SSBM really competative was taken out... everything... If you were a casual player then you probably won't really notice, if you were an advanced player then it's really weird.
random tripping is gay...
Gamestop tourney plus midnight release = win

Of course, if you're like me, and played Smash64 before Melee, the change isn't a problem. I've adjusted once to a drastic change in a game engine, it should be no problem to do it again.

I played some Melee against some guys in this past week, but I've watched so many Brawl vids that I kept screwing up. It was rather embarrassing.

The engine is still pretty much the same... nothing was added except the changed dodge and that only takes a second to get used to. The difference is everything they took out. This wasn't the case for 64 to melee as they kept everything from 64 and just added a whole lot of new stuff to the engine, it's a completely different sort of change. It just takes a little while to get used to not using tactics you're used to using. Again this only applies for advanced players and tactics. If you were just a casual player then you probably won't notice any difference and you should get used to it easily.

Just went to bestbuy, circut city, gamespot, and alot of electronics boutiques. THEY HAVE NO WIIS ANYWHERE :evil: :evil: :evil: Grrr. I'll probably won't be able to play the game until about a week after its release.

Not necessarily. I think the changes with the air dodge and sweetspoting are minor changes. The actual engine, however, has been completely rebuilt. If you used advanced techs habitually, then you might need some adjustment, but I haven't seen videos of people attempting to wavedash lately. So, those habits might be easily broken. Like I said before, prior experience with Smash64 probably helps with the jump from Melee to Brawl.

@ SupaPenguin: Yeah, it's been like that for awhile. I only got mine by having family members look for them and reimbursing them for buying it for me.

Just a few more hours!!!
I'm about to leave for a gamestop pre-release touney =)

picked mine up at midnight. There was a small line, but not that bad. Stood in line for about 5 mins.

Everyone there were college kids, except one little boy and his grandma, lol.

Lucky you. I went to pick up mine, but apparently they didn't have enough copies for all the pre-orders they got ...

hehe Just picked mine up at BB, surprisingly there wasn't much of a line there. Although they did say something about the Wii not reading the disc because of dirty lens + dual layer disc (brawl). I'm happy to say I don't have that problem :D

Played it yesterday. Eh, just as mildly entertaining as the previous entry in the series. Though I must say, Meta Knight kicks ass. Didnt get to play Snake though...

Fun is alot of fun. Its not a single player game though. Lucky i've had alot of friends to play online with and where it doesnt have much Delay. I live in Quebec ( Eastern Canada) and been playing with some people in Cali ( From gaming guilds) And the lag has been maybe by a .2 .3 second delay. Its not BAD enough to make the game unenjoyable.

Fakkuer's should give Friend Codes ^-^ Maybe we could get a tournament running or something. Make some special rule specially if the lag is unbarrable and makes it unable to play.


Anyway ive pass already 50 hours in gameplay ^-^;;

Lol I was Snake and owned my friend then it was a bit of random lag and my custom taunt said *Jon is gay*, while he was blasting off towards death in slow motion.

Me and my brother have been consumed with this game since we got(just like we were with melee). He's been maining Falcon and Snake while I use Sheik and Sonic. We've already had some intense games and have had alot of fun playing with our two close friends.

Since I don't have Brawl yet, I've been playing with a friend with his copy of Brawl. I've tried a majority of the characters, and I am surprised to say the only ones I had trouble getting used to were Wario, PT's Squirtle, and Olimar.

oh the pain of waiting for the slow ass shipping to Alaska. My copy isn't supposed to get here until the 15th T_T

Meanwhile, i must resist the urge to steal my friend's copy who has yet to let me try <_<

You could always "borrow" it.

Edit:

Just pre-ordered it today (Europe is so far behind, but atleast I ain't in Australia)
Looks like its going to be out the 1st of May, so all us europeans have gotta wait for 2 months :(

Well, if you're lucky, Nintendo will have upgraded their servers enough by then that the "Battle Anyone" online mode will work. Right now the servers are so lagged that it's impossible to connect to anyone that isn't on your friends list.

The funny thing is the fact that spectating works just fine... I'll post up my friend code from SSBB so I can actually attempt to play online with someone.

EDIT:
Nintendo Wii Code: 5778 4969 2939 5642
SSB Brawl F-Code: 3995-6230-4180

I'll add anyone who adds me. I need friends. :)
