[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I'm not sure if I've read correctly, but I thought so far the absence of records was only in the "with anyone" mode...

But online anything is great enough for me. Random matches with anyone? That's cool. Friend codes with a few extra features? Great. Lag? Well here's hoping you can choose regional and worldwide matches to suit speed freaks.

JUST FOR CLOSURE (totally irrelevant to this thread but I need to say it for my own sanity -_-') the credits of TP name Sasanuma and Hiyama is nowhere to be seen ^_^.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Erm... Well since the day was overshadowed by the SWEET looking MGS4, no one gave a crap about SSBB. Either that, or because of the Wi-Fi this week, the interest level for today's update was ZILCH.

Piplup was announced as a Pokemon. Meh. Very Meh.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

From the look of the screens, Lucas seems to have Ness' moves. Clone, replacement, or misleading screenshots?

Lovely update after the meh week last week.

For me personally I'm starting to get tired of the updates. Give me the game already!!!

I was speaking idiomatically.

The co-op reminds me of the Sonic and Knuckles 3 days where my brother and I played co-op in hopes of finding the giant rings. I'm bloody psyched. And the powering up is bloody intriguing.

Nostalgia get. Game get. Week get. Sakurai one of my favourite game directors get. Tortarree Ja-pun-nee-su!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well since this game most likely ain't coming Down Under before the end of the year, I'm going to attempt to to the clock the Super Smash Brothers Melee. *dun dun DUUUUUUN!!!* And not just unlocking modes and characters, but also trophies and the finishing bonuses. How the f****n hell do you survive a meteor smash (meteor survivor)?!?

Sakurai has revealed all information from the trailers, has he not? Apart from the Mario Kart stage, the only "meh" updates we can expect are assist trophies, items and Pokemon. Not that it'll reduce the number of "meh" updates... and why the hell is my vocabulary "MEH"?

*plays Brain Training*

FELIPE NO

DAMN ME AND PATIENCE! I finish uni, at the time of the updates, I could've gone into a computer lab but I get home ONE HOUR LATER and this thread's name CHANGES AND THE WHOLE WORLD EXPLODES! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TIME TO SAY BYE TO GOD!

Whoa that was like a ton of bricks to the face. GOT Mutha-fu**ing century confirmed. I'm speaking like a NeoGAFer I know BUT SCREW THIS (just for this post).

Double Post: The icing on the cake is the fact America's release date disappeared. 2008 for ALL!!!

How ya doing, buddy?

I wonder what tonight's Japan Time will be...? Probably Sonic's Theme or an Item/Assist Trophy.
Where's Captain Falcon?

Game & Watch was a very unique character and he was blast to play, especially when you use him to piss off tourney fags . I still want the greatest "piss-off tourney fags" character back thouugh... JIGGERRYPAAAAFU!

Japan Time will most likely have, like, "Sonic's bumper" or something of the sort. Lightning can't strike twice right?...

Oh, and Captain Falcon comeback seconded. "FOREVER HE WILL BE MY H3Ro3Z!!!"

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quoted for absolute truth. Real skill comes with the players who can utilize the items and dodge stage hazards. I never understood why some of the tourney's I've seen limit themselves to Final Destination without items -__-'. I mean, there's like 2GB of SSBM or so wasted because no one takes advantage of it...

One of my friends is a big tourney "(X) CHARACTER IS BROKEN!!!!" guy. Because of this, there was one time he, my girlfriend, my brother and I were just playing a friendly, "just for fun" match in Melee. Whereas me and my brother play Smash regularly, my girlfriend plays occasionally, but can deliver "massive damage" (*snigger, lol, etc.) to those who underestimated her. She happened to win in the match, and while my brother and I just laughed and joked about how we lost to a girl, my friend started blabbing on,

"Oh, (character) is so cheap, he's broken, and I would've won if it were 1-on-1. And you guys were picking on me." Riiiiiight...

The E 4 All expo would've been a convenience to Sakurai, being able to use info revealed there. We got Sonic, Online and Co-Op information in a span of 2 months, so I suppose its time to be disappointed with Japan Time updates until Brawl's release :P.

How ya doing, buddy?

My brother and I have already started "BAGS"ing characters to use. I'm looking forward to using Ike, Link, Lucas, Meta Knight and Snake.

I wanna use Ike first (if he's not a secret character), as my main character was Marth. His speed, or lack thereof, is a bit concerning though and was the reason why I never chose Roy; I preferred the flexibility and agility of Marth.

As for Link, the Smashfags seem to infer that he has been improved. I loved Link in the 64 version but his sluggishness in Melee prevented me from using him a lot.

Having recently gone back to playing Melee on a regular basis, I found out what a potentially powerful guy Ness was. His Up+B move is devastating if used right, so I'm eager to test out Lucas and see how Earthbound is represented this time around.

I'm intrigued by Meta-Knight, as reports are that he was the most easiest to use and had great combos. Apart from Marth, most of the characters I use are slow, so I'm looking forward to mastering MK to counter my bro's annoyingly hardcore Fox.

As for Snake, I might make him the LOL character should Jigglypuff not be around. There's something about CQCing Nintendo characters that makes me wanna ROFL. If I were to use him seriously though, it'll be interesting to see how he'll translated to Brawl gameplay.


I left Sonic out because although his announcement exploded the internet, I have no interest in using "ultra-fast" characters. And at the moment he seems kind of bland. Meh.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, for once I am actually gonna play an Ice Climbers stage. Not only does it look nice, but the way the stage evolves seems exciting.

Currently DK seems extremely screwed. His stage is now the melee Ice Climber stage (which hardly anyone used) and his Final Smash has a reportedly small range (from what I've on youtube videos and demo impressions). Here's hoping his moveset makes up for all of this so far...

You're not the only one. Shitflap, myself and I'm sure many GFFers have seen a youtube video with all the final smashes (of the EFA Demo), making this post doubly unexciting and old .

How's about a Captain Falcon re-confirm soon, Sakurai-san? Show me your moves!

Perhaps implement an automatic handicap for the fags that turn their Wiis off when losing. When they turn off, they automatically start at 300%!!!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

When I first saw the spectator mode, I yawned. But the betting aspect of it has really caught my attention. All those good ol' days of betting with my friend that Ken would kick Ryu's ass flooded back, so I'm actually excited for this mode! Bring on the prizes

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

The "supposed" list provided didn't really wow me. I was hoping for some truly "out-of-nowhere" character predictions, but for some reason it seems too plain. Mewtwo's inclusion (rather than the rumored Lucario), Issac, and even Geno were just some of the characters that make me a skeptic. I'll wait until Feb 6th then, when my brother comes back from Japan with a copy of the game (he's got a Jap Wii )!

Right, so it's like 3-4 days before the American release, but give us PAL regions a break. I mean, why should Australia be part of the "European" release dates? :P

Most amazing jew boots

Ugh, there goes any hope of friendly play. If I beat my friend while he's using Sheik, it'll either be that my character was broken or that I was spamming >.< (or I could just avoid him altogether).

40/40 in Famitsu? Delay? Oh gosh, I hear the collective drop of jaws followed by angst and despair of the impatient. Drama.

Anyhoo, the delay doesn't affect me . My bro gets to Japan on the 3rd of Feb. No more delays please!

Well, in regards to Marth, he IS returning for a Fire Emblem remake for the DS... Roy was in SSBM for promotional reasons. Chances are Marth may come back, with Ike replacing Roy as the "heavier" and more powerful Fire Embem character.

Now that Sheik's been revealed, all I care about now is the return of the Falcon. And Ganondorf. Please, Sakurai?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
