Oh dear, I've been called out. Guess I'll have to find a pair and man up to my statement.

I don't own a Wii, I will never own a Wii, I think Nintendo needs to be boycotted until they go backrupt and all their current employees from bottom to top have a chance to die out before we give Nintendo another try. However, while I will never own one, other people I know do have one, and they do play SSBB, and if I'm there, if I want to play anything, I have to play that as well. The controls are pointless. The battles all wind down to a simple button mashing dice fest of random imputs and luck. It's only after you've BSed for a while to knock down(Or rather up) everyones KO percentages that whoever owns the game comes out with that super awesome secret special button press that comes out to an I Win button

Hang on:

The controls are broken, and its all about random inputs of luck

AND

people who are experienced and practice it a lot can use powerful combo attacks to win?

Surely both statements can't be true?

 

[Aura Guardian]

Could it be because Super Smach Brothers Brawl, aka SSBB, aka Nintendos crappiest cash cow to date, has such pointless and broken controls that they actually don't work?

Possibility.

They work fine. Are you sure it isn't you?

From what I know, Brawl has awful online play.

The few matches I've played were unbearably laggy.

Spoiler: If this is laggy, then I must be playing something else

 

[Aura Guardian]

Idle players

They are very annoying. But check my replay of it. It's pretty funny.

Griefers. They are everywhere.

I love SSBB SOO much. Unfortunately, my Wii is retarded and won't play my copy. And only my Wii, anyone else's it works fine. I have wicked crappy internet so I have laggy matches. So I n longer play online. So, I can't really say anything about the thread...

 

[Fightbulb]

Either it's an incredibly boring griefer, or the online sucks. Or, well, both.

SSBB is perhaps Nintendos worst game, on less than arguably their worst console, which is just a continuation of their lackluster progress since the Gameboy Pocket. Now, as someone suggested earlier, I'm out.

Yeah, you could've just admitted that you have no idea how to play the game. The Smash series (especially Melee) is one of the deepest fighting games out there, but people like you are simply too lazy to figure out how it really works. If you just mash buttons, it's a party game. If you know what you're doing, it's a brilliant fighting game. Not understanding a game isn't the same as a game sucking, and internet rethoric will only get you so far.

No idea how to play the game? No idea how to play the game!? How could that b-, oh right, I said I don't own a Wii, so that's actually true. Then again, how hard can it be to learn a game where the button map goes Attack, Special, Jump. With something like that, I have to admit I'd be confused. It's not like this is Street Fighter or anything, that game is just gay.

There's four smash attacks, four special attacks, and then numerous air and dash attacks for each character, so that's more than just attack, special, and jump.

guilty gear only has 3 normal attack buttons and then the dust strike.
yet one of the most complicated fighting games to date.
simple is tough, you only have a few specials and attacks to use your advantage.
unlike other games where there are 7 attack buttons and 3 versions of the same character type throughout the roster.

Indeed. I love Guilty Gear. Know what, this thread has motivated me to play some more SSBB.

Your complaint is hardly valid. It's almost like someone that hasn't read the instruction booklet for a game is complaining that they don't know how to play. Wait, no. That's exactly what's happening.

I wouldn't have any problem if you said that you don't like it, but your major complaint seems to be that you suck at it, other people have mastered it, and that the controls are too simple that there's no way you couldn't possibly understand them.
All I can say is, successful troll is successful.

 

[jonnopon3000]

I will give you my wii number shortly, add me as a friend here so i can message you easily. I don't turn on my wii much so i need to plug it in before i can get my number.
I WILL PWN YOUR ASS It will be a fun and equal fight, I am sure.

On topic: Yes. About once out of every two times i finally manage to find a fight...it is a dud player. Play as fox/wolf/falcon/pikachu and they will not be able to escape you easily, and you can pwn them.

brawl ya soon

Sarcasm, thine use has failed. Guess I have to spell things out for Captain Obvious. I didn't need an instruction bood, because I asked how to play. My real point here is that the game is so simple that there's no skill involved, there's no purpose to the buttons, it's mash the buttons and hope for the best. And I do suck at Street Fighter as well and have complaints towards that game, because the controls are so complex and intricate that you can't play the game without spending at least 60 hours in practice. But Street Fighter isn't on the whipping post right now, SSBB is. If someone wants to take on SF IV, I'll be more than happy to pop over and take that one on too. The point here is this: It doesn't matter if you're good at it, it doesn't matter if you're bad at it. The way the game is build, the controls serve no purpose. It's just mash buttons until someone goes flying out.

 

[PureChaos]

i've never encountered them. whenever i play online i end up getting a into grudge match with someone which is great. i'll put my wii number on here soon, i'll admit i'm a fanboy and am always looking for a good challenge.

 

[dthvirus]

Brawl online is horrible. I remember suiciding when going for Marth's DAir spikes, and only landing one.

 

[Magnatek]

I've attempted playing Brawl online, so I guess I can partially answer this. I'd probably encounter these idiots in almost every match. My only means of calming myself would have to be to, well, treat them like sandbags. Annoying or not, they're still potential KO's, and numbers don't indicate how the KO's were made. If they keep dodging, hit faster. If they run to the other side of the stage, catch up to them, and repeat sandbag treatment. I find that it helps to use fast characters. I know this because this has happened to me offline.

EDIT: If I actually had a stable online connection, I'd give you my friend code. However, I've only seen it once, and, sadly, I don't remember it. That's how bad my connection is.

 

[Aura Guardian]

If you want my code, ask at anytime
