[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Ver. 214. Gobble Gobble Gobble, Slurp Slurp Slurp

Nintendo doesn't want voice chat, and I understand why they do that. They don't want people to be offended or influenced in a bad way by playing the game with people they don't know. The one thing that I do hope they did was to have voice chat, and keep it strictly to friend-code matches. I mean, they do have the system in place as a way to restrict communication to those that already know each other. By adding voice chat in these matches, it makes it much more convenient for people that, theoretically, already know each other to play the game. The only way it could detract from the experience is if your friend or whoever you traded FC with is absolutely unbearable when armed with a mic.

Regardless, I just want to play the game...

Yea, being able to voice chat across friends would have been nice, but at this point, what has been done, is done.

And sprout, it's IGN. They dock points for random stuff.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well the times are winding down. About 2 days left to go until the release of the game.

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

Really? I had the damn game for so long and I never knew that as well.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Lmao Chaotic. Mini-mario in the videos also looked a bit funny, and Sonic's broken arm.

I was speaking idiomatically.

As far as I know, the tournament is actually supposed to be sooner. 10pm is more of the line-up starting for the sale of Brawl at Midnight. I'm just glad I'm not working on the sales floor for the Midnight sale, but I work on the day afterwards, handling people that are coming in to buy it that didn't stay for the Midnight Sale.

Though each place could have it differently. I just know that at my store, we're having the tournament sooner.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's not going to help at all. When people see midnight sales now, they're like "Pfft...I don't want to wait outside in the dark/cold. I'll pick it up the next day". Considering that it's a weekend as well, it'll be even more busy than before. What sucks is working during that time, and the company badgering the hell out of you to link this game with more pre-orders. Like people are going to pre-order another game when they're picking this one up.....doesn't make sense to me to be honest. ;_;

Also, you have to wonder how many are going to be going online right after the game comes out. Many will probably be focusing on unlocking all the characters at first. It'll probably be around Monday or Tuesday before the rush of people online starts, at most.

FELIPE NO

If a store hits its reserve limit, they are informed via email and then are told to continue to using a different method and they just won't have as many walk in's to sell.

The problem being is that not every store is going to have extras as far as things are concerned. Some areas will have extras for walk-ins, but others won't have any due to pre-orders for the game. The best solution I just go with is to pre-order to avoid worry about picking it up the day it comes out.

How ya doing, buddy?

Also, damn you Miles. DAMN YOU >:U
You better get a head start at playing that game. Because I will kick your ass. Mario vs Sonic, items everywhere, animal crossing town, sunday night, be there or be square!

The whole quota thing is a pain in the ass. Least I don't have to worry much about it, but managers usually do. It doesn't make sense for us to badger people that are coming in to PICK UP a game about more up coming ones.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gamestop propaganda. While it may be selling quickly, I don't think you're not going to be able to find one right away. Check the big box stores like Best Lies, Faggotshop, Wal-fart and Circunt Shitty. I'd be surprised if you couldn't nab one on day one.

GS does all sorts of inventory fuckery for various reasons, and it may be true that you won't get one if you GO THERE. Other places will have it. I can't imagine a software sell out unless Nintendo seriously dropped the ball.

And if that's the case, your preorder might mean jack if you're late, so you're fucked either way! Isn't that GREAT?

Only problem with that, is that there are those people that go to GS last, and by that time it's too late. I dunno why but one of my friends was so happy to burn this guy, cause he called it about CoD4 being sold out from all stores in our area, and he said to the guy that though pre-ordering isn't always needed, for some games like that you should if you wanted to get the jump on it right away.

"I went to other stores (K-mart/Wal-mart, etc) and they didn't have any copies. Do you have any extras?"

"Why didn't you pre-order it before?"

"I figured I was gonna get a copy."

"We don't have any more copies." (He wanted to say "You're S.O.L son!!! I told you!")

But despite it being propaganda, it helps at times as much as it hurts, for those hard to find games, or the extremely popular ones, depending on your area.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Gah... I can't get mine until after work today. It should be a crime to work on days of a big release.

(On a side note...why is the picture taken in your bathroom?)

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

Just curious, but to those that have played online, how has the games been for you? I had a match earlier with Kai, and things went ok. Only thing that slightly urked me was the lag in input.

Btw, I think we were almost even in final smash uses that match. The were showing up like candy,

How ya doing, buddy?

It doesn't show you as online on my end.

If anyone hasn't checked the wiki, my FC is up there as well.

If you're just lazy:

1461-5882-4019

Been working on SSE a bit more lately, along with finding the main character(s) I would like to use.

Edit: Everyone that's on the wiki list is on my list so far

I was speaking idiomatically.

It felt different to me. Not necessarily easier, but it did feel different.

Though, playing it more and more does make it seem easier now, since we're getting more used to the system at hand.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

To be honest it was less laggy than I thought it was going to be, from the previous online videos I've seen so far, where the game froze skipped like every few seconds, and then just froze for a bit. Though hopefully it'll die down after a few days like what's mentioned, when people get their schedules back on track.

Also apparently Miles hates swordmen, and he liked using the landmaster to annoy the hell out of me. ;_;

Are you talking about forum time, or a specific timezone, because either way I'd like to have a match against you.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've been playing Ike as my main so far. Been doing ok with using him. Snake is getting some time to get used to, like his side smash, and Meta Knight is nice as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

For the SSE and to answer about switching pokemon within it :

Spoiler:

As you progress on, you have to fight against Ivysaur and Charizard in order to be able to use them in the story.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And how about that music? MY GOD! IGN wasn't kidding when they said that this may be one of the best video game soundtracks ever.

Yea. Got the soundtrack before the game came out. Some nice remix songs and some new ones.

By the way...you spelled my name wrong.

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

Like oh my god! How is it only 3 4 people
Uzuki
Darth
Starman
and BigCN

are registered on my list!?

Because some of us needs to go back and register the rest of the people we didn't get.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It involves doing this (video inside):

Easiest but Cheapest way to beat Cruel Brawl (works with various others):

Here's another which is similar to that, but done with Peach:

The only way to disable it is to turn off Final Smashes entirely.

Well that explains why 1/2 the time when I play someone has a Final Smash out of nowhere.
Plus I need to add more of the people on the wiki list.

The moment it hits the floor, it's ready to disappear. What's worse, most of the CD they slap on me are on the other side of the stage. ;_;

Yea.

Spoiler:

Like when you finish the fight with Ridley, and when the camera scrolls down the CD is barely visible.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Why does everyone keep adding the "h" in my name?

And I'm hopping online in a bit so I can add the rest to my list.

*shrug* It kinda makes me a bit angry as well because I'm used to lack of input lag(at least noticing it) in games. I was testing things last night to see what could help. Restarting my router did help during the timeframe I was testing it within a fun match against Kai.

I still thought catching him in a fan rush until his % was close to 200 still hilarious.

Then we were in a 100-man brawl.
We were so damn close to finishing, and then one of them knocked him into the left side, and then another hit me off and I slammed into Kai knocking him off into the edge, thus ending the match.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's something I should do, because I haven't been online often with SSBB.

People were, and then we just scattered after that. Near the end, people got grenade happy.

So how have people been communicating lately while playing SSBB, aside from the forums?

How ya doing, buddy?
