what do you think about super smash bros brawl?

[Mister_moi]

Im really looking forward to this game, but to GTA 4 to. I think that SSBB and GTA 4 (why is it 4 anyway if its like the 9th game??) will be the top selling games this year, maby not Halo 3 style but that was just scary...

about the characters, i'll probally use link most of the time and i'll test any other character such as Metaknight, king dedede, Snake and Sonic. im not really happy about third party characters, it makes the game loose its Nintendo only feel. And then there is Sonic. The hedgehof everyone seems to like and wants to play, but what can he do? some basic punches and kicks and spinning as a bal, none of that is new. ohyeah, he could turn supersaiyen or something.....

Like half the Melee players I've met use Sheik and claim no one is better.

Sheik?!?!?! Shirley you jest... I take all comers with Pichu, and win 90% of the time... Sheik?!?!?!?!?? ...well..i guess if your opponent lacked thumbs....maybe

 

[Prons]

Needs more characters! Of course I'm just glad to dig into some nice~~ Ice Climbers again

 

[SeniorDingDong]

ITS SURELY AWESOME !!

Sadly, I can count other worty Wii games on a single hand, so its not an option to buy a Wii. And I would need some more game adicted friends to fully enjoy it.

 

[Magnus Of Weelilplace]

I'm not...like...line up at midnight excited, but I am looking forward to it. It should be, if nothing else, an interesting game.

If it gets pushed back one more time, im going to shit in Nintendo's oatmeal...

sadly thats true and now I am starting to regret buying it. It is great fun when friends are over to do some simple multyplayer games but for single player the wii isnt all that good.

back on topic, what do you people think about that pokemon trainer?? Switching from 3 pokemon during battle is original but somehow i dont think it will be a really popular character like fox or falco.

--Edit--

I forgot to mention how cool the new graphics look. Like Mario's jeans, Link in general and Bowser with his new transformation (I think that Bowser's transformation is in a challange in SSBM but not as an playble character).

 

[super_smash_jesus]

All i can say is that the game of the year is coming out on March 10th, and i am pumped and have my pre-order made out already (licks lips).

 

[goodpoltergeist]

I am actually not all that excited about it, for whatever I reason, I don't feel like it's time for it to be released. It feels like it's something that's so far away I can't really even begin to think about it, and this feeling will probably persist until the day it's released and I'm holding it in my hands (I've had it preordered for like 12 million years...)

Stage Builder looks awesome, especially since you can actually have moving/falling platforms and such, as opposed to simple static stages.

I just hope there's going to be a Bowser's Castle stage, or failing that, the resources to make one in Stage Builder.

 

[SpiderLotus]

To be truly good with Sheik, you need to know how to use Zelda as well. If your in a 4 way free for all, unless you vastly outstrip your friends abilities, Sheik will get chewed up. She's good for 1 vs 1. Zelda can pwn multiple opponants if you use her properly (her side kick is one of the most satisfying kills I have experienced).

As for Brawl, I'm getting a little apprehensive. Still really stoked, but really, how fresh can they make it seem? I think with the inclusion of Sonic the series is hitting it's zenith.
Personally. I think that what needs to be done is to move away from the fighter genre. What if you play as one of the core characters (think original 8 or however many their were) and travel to different game worlds ala Kingdom Hearts? It could be a massive good character vs. bad character war going on. Imagine a climactic final battle scene with goombas and kremlings and stalfos and a huge Riply flying around. Glorious.

As I have played SB since the day it was released on the N64, I am on tenderhooks waiting for it to be released. I am also worried that Nintendo may have screwed it up with adding all the new gubbins, but I felt the same about Melee, and that turned out well.
As for the extra characters thing people are suggesting, as awesome as that would be, getting that done would take an army of Lawyers and legal teams a decade just to decide what moves their damned characters would have. Shouts of "mis-representation!" would fill courtrooms across the world while this was going on.
One character I would like to see is Konami's Goemon, and his pals. Mystical Ninja on the N64 was a great game.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Here's hoping they balance all the Final Smashes and make Washdashing easier on the thumbs.

Apparently, they've gotten rid of Wavedashing by making you slightly hover over the ground if you try to airdodge into it.

The Falcon Knee has been altered a bit. It's just as powerful as it was in Melee, but it's harder to connect. However, this is made up for, as the Knee will make a satisfying "BOOOM" sound if you connect it right.

If they ever make a fourth one, it'll probably be for the Wii's successor, so they'll probably end up making an Adventure mode that improves upon Subspace Emissary near the extent that Subspace Emissary improved upon Melee's Adventure mode. With a combat system that works so well for both multiplayer and single-player, I can't see why they'd want to forsake one in favour of the other at this point.

Here is a kickass 1 on 1 match between 2 hidden characters (SPOILERS, IF YOU CONSIDER PLAYABLE CHARACTERS TO ACTUALLY BE SPOILERS)http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=HDPlKBfWL0Q (End Spoilers)

Glad to see they got rid of the glitching that was wavedashing and its ilk. I remember seeing people do it, and it fills the entire room with "CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK". That said, it looks excellent but seems overhyped to me.

Also, anyone else surprised that they never put in Megaman?

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Yeah. I was thinking that if anyone else were to be added from a third party roster, it would be him. So it comes as no surprise to me that they don't have any other third-party characters besides Snake and Sonic, seeing as how Megaman's not in.

It would be cool if they had him in and incorporated robot master weapons as melee attacks (Slash Claw for neutral A, Flame Sword for side tilt A, and Hard Knuckle for side smash).

Another character I would have liked to see is Mii, but only if the Final Smash consisted of throwing the Wiimote at the screen/ other characters for an instant kill.

 

[portuga-man]

Wavedashing no more? oh well... I don't care much, tbh. I never needed glitching to help me win a fight (yes, it's glitching. None of that crap are "advanced moves" specially implemented by the developers).

As for sheik, i hope she gets nerfed. Marth got nerfed, afaik. (btw it's SheIk, NOT ShIek). Also i hope link is not that laggy anymore. He's my favorite char, but i sadly had to admit he's crap against any experienced player. Ganondorf, i hope he's not another captain falcon clone. And it would be nice to see Psycho Mantis in that roster

I like pokemon trainer. Gives me some nostalgia to see squirtle, ivysaur and charizard... but where's mewtwo? That Lucario guy looks like some unimaginative new pokemon with almost the same moves as mewtwo (haven't paid much attention to any Lucario vid, but his moves looked the same)

[rant]
And i STILL don't see any appeal in captain falcon. that bastard irritates me SO MUCH.
"show me your moooOOoOOoOovesss"
*get's smashed into oblivion*
AND STILL WHEN HE DIES HE'S FREAKIN ANNOYING. what the hell are those sounds anyway?! it sounds like a whale dying, or a guy who got kicked in the nuts, or something...
grr

[Duck Sandwich]

Ganondorf, i hope he's not another captain falcon clone.

Sadly, Ganondorf is another Captain Falcon clone. But at least his Final Smash isn't another Landmaster.

This is some of the appeal in Captain Falcon.

 

[The Reverend]

Ah, the good ol' knee, or, as me and my friends called it, the "Falcon Thrust." You cant knock falcon, he's so much fun! And the sexual double-entendres.. well, need I say more?

 

[[HD]Rob Inglis]

I have a friend who is Japanese who is getting the game on 2/5/08 shipped from Japan. We are going to play it as a party this saturday, woot! The game appears awesome!

SHOW YA MOVES.

I hope they left him just as irritating as before. They'd better have brought back The Knee.

I thought Falcon sounded absolutely hilarious when he was mini. But that's just me and I can see why anyone would be annoyed by him.

I'm really excited for this game, I think it's going to be great, but I hope this is the last one. They can't really do anything more than what they've already done with this game, so it can only get worse from there, and before you know it you just have another stale franchise that needs to be taken out back behind the barn and put down for good.
