Super Smash Bros. Brawl--Wii Exclusive!

[Manic]

Suddenly I feel like playing this game again. Time to bust out ol' Zelda and stomp a few asses without having to turn into Sheik.

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, I pretty much only use Sheik when I play as Zelda.

[Manic]

Everyone turns into Sheik when they play as Zelda. I've found that most of my friends know how to fight against Sheik because of that, but I'm one of the few wildcards in the group that goes all-out as plain ol' Zelda.

When I play Zelda, I mostly play only as Zelda as well.

[Mad Ones]

Zelda is way better than Sheik in this one. Sheik's horizontal attacks that made her so deadly in Melee were toned down so much. It takes a lot more now to make a KO. Zelda's Din's Fire is one of my favourite moves in the game. Her powerful heel and stomp moves, and the fact that Farore's Wind causes damage, makes her a killer character. She's pretty underrated, imo.

[Venom Jr.]

pikachu all the way.
I used to like him but I went to a tournament and everyone played him...Plus they all took my saying..."Pika-Pwned!" :dry:

[TheRunningMan]

I'm sure they all copied you

[Holiday]

I've developed a deep and abiding hatred for Samus and Peach for a similar reason. My friend plays as those two all the time and spams the crap out of their most annoying moves.

One of the people I play with uses Peach here and there, but I can handle her. Her Marth on the other hand, gives me some trouble. Mainly avoiding getting knocked around in the air, though I've a bit better at it as of late. Marth has nice range with his sword too, which can be a hassle.

[TheCorpulent1]

The Fire Emblem guys have been favorites of mine since Melee. I loved Marth in that game. I switched to Ike in Brawl for the extra power. I've got his timing well enough that I can just sit in the middle of smaller stages and knock everyone away for a while.

[Venom Jr.]

I'm sure they all copied you
I know your mocking me but I have people on these forms that were there with me and can easily back me up. They were in shock to see 70+ Pikachu players in 1 room. There was about 200 people there so that in almost half of the people. And I played first round and won and then said: "Pika-Pwned!" Then for some reason every other Pikachu player siad it....hmm I wonder why. :dry:

[TheRunningMan]

ok ok my bad just calm down

[Specter313]

Ugh. Pikachu. My roommate kills with Pikachu. :cmad:

:woot::woot::woot:

And Ike. And Pit. And Lucario. And Ice Climbers. And Peach. :D

[Holiday]

I love playing against Ice Climbers, just so I can kill the hell out of Nana.

[JustABill]

:woot::woot::woot:

And Ike. And Pit. And Lucario. And Ice Climbers. And Peach. :D
Don't boast too much. :p I'll give you Ike, but the others? :p

[Venom Jr.]

Don't boast too much. :p I'll give you Ike, but the others? :p
Lucario is great. (Besides being my favorite Pok'emon!) He gets stronger the more he gets hurt. He is "The Emo Pok'emon" as I call him.

[TheRunningMan]

what are your guys' thoughts on wolf?

[Specter313]

Don't boast too much. :p I'll give you Ike, but the others? :p

Considering I've whooped you day in and day out with them in the past, yes. :p

[TheCorpulent1]

I love playing against Ice Climbers, just so I can kill the hell out of Nana.
I love playing as the Ice Climbers, so people feel especially emasculated when I kick their asses with such cute characters. :D

[TheRunningMan]

I love playing as the Ice Climbers, so people feel especially emasculated when I kick their asses with such cute characters. :D
I get the strangest feeling you're the ass-kickee

[TheCorpulent1]

No, I do pretty well with them against my friends. You could make the argument that we know each other's play styles so well that any of us could feasibly beat the others with any character, but one of my friends especially hates the Ice Climbers, so it's always fun to trot them out and smack her around with them.

[TheRunningMan]

I usually use DK, but Wolf is a close second

[Holiday]

I love playing as the Ice Climbers, so people feel especially emasculated when I kick their asses with such cute characters. :D

They are super cute. No one play with uses them though unless it's random, but when they do play as them me and my friend who uses Marth go right after Nana. It's become a tradition of sorts, before we do anything else in the match; Kill Nana! :hehe:

[Specter313]

I love playing as the Ice Climbers, so people feel especially emasculated when I kick their asses with such cute characters. :D

Heh, I remember how ticked Billy got when I first whooped him with the Climbers. "How the hell are you so good with the ****in Ice Climbers!?!?"

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, my friend was the same way. "The Ice Climbers? Really?" And then, at the end of the match: "Pfff. I can't believe you won with the stupid Ice Climbers. So ridiculous." :D

[Drakon]

Nobody ever takes them seriously.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's how they get ya.

[Manic]

I had a friend who was a monster with Jigglypuff.


The lesson to learn here is that you're better off getting good as one of the cute or harmless-looking characters. Everyone suspects Link and Marth, but no one ever suspects the effing Ice Climbers.

[TheCorpulent1]

Or you could just get really good with a super-badass character. Everyone suspects Ike but that doesn't stop him from kicking people's asses more often than not. :oldrazz:

[Manic]

But it's so much more fun to take 'em by surprise.

[TheRunningMan]

no it isnt

[Holiday]

Anyone here ever play in a tournament before? I'll most likely be entering one this Saturday. I will definitely lose. Hard. But I'm going to try and have fun and enjoy it. Plus, it'll be fun play new people for a change.

[Spidey-Bat]

My friend played in one at his college. He got owned. Though it was before he started playing more often and got really good.

[Drakon]

Some sort of official one? No, but I did do one or two at Game Crazy when I worked next door.

[Holiday]

Some sort of official one? No, but I did do one or two at Game Crazy when I worked next door.

This one isn't an official one. There will be money involved though. It's a $10 fee for the singles tournament, with maybe 20-25 players entering. There will also be Team and Random tournaments. I'll just be happy to win a match. :o

Someone used an Action Replay to model hack Baby Mario into the game.

[spideyboy_1111]

that's awesome, so baby mario was one of the "finished" characters (but canceled) hidden in the game? Like some of the other rumored ones? wonder if that means we will get more

[Spidey-Bat]

No, someone did a model hack. I think they basically hacked Mario to look like Baby Mario. You can see they model hacked (Zero Suit) Samus into Lara Croft in one of the pics.

[dudamundo]

Sonic is in the game! Awesome! *explodes*

[WolfCypher]

OMG! Mario is too! *implodes*

[Matt Mortem]

Just bought it today (along with my Wii). Lovin' it. I popped a Gamecube controller in and starting kickin ass just like I always did with SSB. The only gripe I have is Wario...why the **** does he walk so damned weird??

[Exploding Boy]

I had a friend who was a monster with Jigglypuff.


The lesson to learn here is that you're better off getting good as one of the cute or harmless-looking characters. Everyone suspects Link and Marth, but no one ever suspects the effing Ice Climbers.
I am untouchable as Jigglypuff.

And the Ice Climbers are not cute. They're ****ing over powered :cmad:

[DACrowe]

No offense, but I always get really frustrated with people who are monsterous with Jiggly, the Ice Climbbers, Ike or Marth/Lucas. They all seem so overpowered, and in Ike's case, cheap. Maybe it's just cause I don't like playing with them. ;) :oldrazz:

Well I use Jiggly for a silly round sometimes, but I'm a Link, Zelda, Snake, Sonic, Luigi and Pikachu player all the way. I wouldn't say I'm untouchable with any of 'em, but my Link, Zelda and Snake skills are devestatingly tough, I think.

[Matt Mortem]

Donkey Kong is how I rule to roost for sure. DK and now Wario and I can definetly rock some kids with Link

Jigglypuff is hard to master tho. You die so fast and have weak attacks. You have to master the float and dodge.

[Matt Mortem]

Jiggly is always fun to bust out on someone who thinks they're hot ****, then you beat their ass with Jiggly. Good times

[Exploding Boy]

Yeah thats pretty much what happened with me. I used to only use Roy, Link and Ness. I would always beat my friends and they wouldnt let me use them anymore. So I started using "crappy" characters, mostly jiggly, and dominated.

[Matt Mortem]

I would do the same just about. I'd kick ass with DK for awhile then let my friends think they're gonna whoop me when I pick Jigglypuff

[Specter313]

I am untouchable as Jigglypuff.

And the Ice Climbers are not cute. They're ****ing over powered :cmad:

Aww, the words of someone who's been properly schooled. :D :p

[DACrowe]

Jigglypuff is hard to master tho. You die so fast and have weak attacks. You have to master the float and dodge.

I know, but I hate getting killed so easily by people who do master her. :oldrazz: I can do a mean Jiggly super roll out though. ;) :hehe:
I guess we all have our characters. Three generations of playing Link, it feels like a second nature to me to use all of Links moves. So, I guess I'm guilty of that too.

[DACrowe]

Jiggly is always fun to bust out on someone who thinks they're hot ****, then you beat their ass with Jiggly. Good times

INdeed. Also pulling that with Kirby is priceless. But nothing beats the shame of the Ice Climbers (though I was never any good with those little bastards, I sure have been shamed by them before). :cool:

[Matt Mortem]

I can do alright with the Ice Climbers. Essentially, I can beat just about anyone with anyone except Olimar in Brawl. Good god damn he's terrible. I think Olimar is the worst they've ever put in a game

[spideyboy_1111]

i've actually kicked ass with olimar.. he just is a completely diff game play. He's kinda like ness... both are pretty hard to master.

[JustABill]

Yeah. When the game first came out I could kick ass with Olimar haven't played with him in a while so that might not be the same nowadays.

[Brainiac 8]

i've actually kicked ass with olimar.. he just is a completely diff game play. He's kinda like ness... both are pretty hard to master.


Ness is still one of my favorite fighters. Hard to master, but if you do, you can do major damage. :D

[Specter313]

Yeah. When the game first came out I could kick ass with Olimar haven't played with him in a while so that might not be the same nowadays.

Yes, you have, you neglectful, neglectful human being you. :p

[Matt Mortem]

The final boss, Tabu or whatever the hell his name is, is extremely difficult. I almost threw the damned controller out the window in frustration

[Manic]

When it came to Tabu, I used my old Master Hand strategy.

I got Pikachu and did his corkscrew jumping attack. Multiple hits every time. Beautiful thing.

[Matt Mortem]

I'll have to try that. My problem is he has that one move that one hit KO's without fail and he uses it each time I throw out a new fighter. Very frustrating

[Manic]

Not just Pikachu. Look around for any character who has an attack that does multiple hits. Almost all of Zelda's non-power attacks do that. Samus' jump attack too, I think.

Was his one-hit KO a huge beam attack? It's been a while, and I've forgotten a bit. Like all boss fights in all games with crap like that, look at Tabu to see if he does anything just before that attack, and jump away when appropriate.

[Matt Mortem]

His one hit attack is this big ass Red Ring that he unleashes and it pretty much takes up the whole damned screen. I've almost beaten him a few times, dodging that ring'o'death is tough

[Exploding Boy]

Midna(human form) should be in the next game. And not just as a Zelda-Clone.

[Matt Mortem]

I wouldn't mind it if they got a few more third part players in the next one. Maybe Nintendo could mend fences with Rare and get Banjo in the next one. That would be kick ass. AND since they already had Sonic, why not get Tails and Knuckles??

[Drakon]

Waluigi shoudn't have been an assist trophy. Shoulda just been in the damn game.

[Manic]

I finally picked this game up after about a year of letting it collect dust. I got my ass kicked by CPUs set to 3. Clearly, I'm rusty.

[Holiday]

I've been playing it just about everyday since I got my Wii two weeks ago. I'll get in training mode and mess around a bit, work on some techniques. Right now I'm learning Snake's DACUS.

[Matt Mortem]

Waluigi shoudn't have been an assist trophy. Shoulda just been in the damn game.
Yeah he should'a been. And Tails should'a been playable

[Tron Bonne]

The last Smash Bros. game, like the one before that, was a smorgasboard of characters. There weren't just Nintendo developed characters, but the likes of Sonic and Snake also made an appearance.

No More Heroes designer Goichi Suda is already making off-handed remarks about his desire to see NMH hero Travis Touchdown in the next Smash Bros.. Says Suda:

I love him (Travis), and I want him to be a huge star. That's why I'm working very hard to make this game as interesting as possible. Maybe in the future, we can see him fighting alongside Link in the next Smash Bros. [laughs] That would be great.

Yes, yes it would.

I don't know if many of you have played the title, but he would make a fun addition

[JustABill]

I've played the first one and he's a little more vulgar than even Snake, so I don't know how he'd work alongside characters like this.

[Tron Bonne]

I think he'd work fine in it. Sure, he's vulgar and stuff in his own game, but it's not like he has to be like that in Smash Bros. He's just goofy, fun and over-the-top. He doesn't have to curse or demand sex after winning a match in a Smash Bros. title. He can just scream his nonsense phrases, ex. "Put the strawberry on the shortcake!" and be generally cool

[Spidey-Bat]

Nintendo should release a 16-bit SSB game on Wii Ware.

[Drakon]

That'd be magnificent.

[Venom Jr.]

Waluigi shoudn't have been an assist trophy. Shoulda just been in the damn game.
I feel the same way, but I see why many would have taken a knife to Nitendo. Mostly beacuse he has never been in a "REAL" mario game.

[Drakon]

But how is this any different from Baseball, or Soccer, or Party?

[SuperFerret]

It's not.

[Venom Jr.]

They are knock offs. I know even Brainiac 8 will back me up on this. I have nothing against Wario. He was in a Game Boy game, unlike Waluigi. But if they ever do put him in a game I would want him to be in the new Smash Bros.

[Venom Jr.]

By the way your signature is so true. Todays kids are soft.

I don't see why they don't just have a Super Wario Brothers game. Give it a Wariolandish tone and gameplay, mixed with New Super Mario Bros, and go from there.

[Matt Mortem]

A super Wario Bros game would be AMAZING! Hell I would'a been content with them making Wario playable in New Super Mario Bros thats comin out for the Wii

[Venom Jr.]

I don't see why they don't just have a Super Wario Brothers game. Give it a Wariolandish tone and gameplay, mixed with New Super Mario Bros, and go from there.
I like the idea. If they ever did make that I would mayve even love Waluigi. 10/10 for Drakon's Idea. :up:

[Spidey-Bat]

I want a Mario & Luigi style game but with Wario and Waluigi.

[Venom Jr.]

I think they should make another Yoshi Story. A re-make with the Wii Mote controls would be fun.

[The Riddler]

i hope the new smash is more like melee was and less like brawl is.

i'd rather have quicker, less "noob" friendly gameplay. also, no instant attachment to the ledges, and more things to master like wavedashing (though i think that was a glitch in melee).

also, make samus go back to her melee form; quicker missiles and way more KO power than her relatively weaker brawl version.

I hope for the opposite. I don't think video gaming should be a skill that people have to cultivate and master.

Don't tell that to the Halo community. They'll Kill You!!!! :awesome:

[SuperFerret]

Don't tell that to the Halo community. They'll Kill You!!!! :awesome:

No they won't. Most of them only have experience with virtual fighting, I'm sure I can take them. :awesome:

[Matt Mortem]

No they won't. Most of them only have experience with virtual fighting, I'm sure I can take them. :awesome:
:doh: Why didn't I think of that. They oughta put Master Chief in the next Smash Bros. That'd be pretty *****in' :awesome:

[SuperFerret]

I'd like it, if only to kick the crap outta him as Dedede.

[Matt Mortem]

Ice Climbers vs Master Chief. A BATTLE OF THE AGES!!!!!

[The Riddler]

I hope for the opposite. I don't think video gaming should be a skill that people have to cultivate and master.

it doesn't have to be.

you can play it as simple as you want with people at your skill level.

[Matt Mortem]

Now I like playing nintendo ds by m3i zero (http://www.gamezway.com/m3i-zero-sakura-for-dsi-from-m3-team_p16873.html),very funny:woot:
Umm what? kind of feel like this dude is a spam sandwich.

Even though I love how melee was I have to say it was very unbalanced. Brawl fixed most of it I think. I also liked Brawl's story mode. I think this game has alot more gameplay time, just lots more to unlock and such.

[Venom Jr.]

I'd like it, if only to kick the crap outta him as Dedede.
Ah, man come on Master Chief should never be put in Brawl. If they ditch Mega Man for him I will hate Masahiro Sakurai for ever on.

[The Riddler]

Even though I love how melee was I have to say it was very unbalanced. Brawl fixed most of it I think. I also liked Brawl's story mode. I think this game has alot more gameplay time, just lots more to unlock and such.

i disagree. melee is actually very balanced. every chracter can be mastered; i've been beaten by nearly every character in my experience playing melee, and i've in turn dominated matches against every other chracter with my main character (samus). i've played in some small time tournaments and even then the level of play is fairly high.

if anything, brawl seems more unbalanced, but i haven't played it much to be sure.

[Venom Jr.]

^ Lag time on some people was just stupid in melee. If you slowed down to frames some people just were too weak for their frame time. Also there were alot of Clones. I do like melee more but I still relize the facts.

[The Riddler]

regardless of the "lag time", every character is pretty balanced. there isn't a single character that can't be mastered.

i agree the clones sucked, but even some of the clones made good characters. falco and fox for example play very differently.

[Venom Jr.]

True it was like street fighter for the clones. Ryu and Ken are the same but handdle diffrent. Some people were just stupid though...Pichu. An emo pok'emon that hurt himself everytime you attacked.

[Drakon]

Same with Mortal Kombat back in the day. I mean, at one point there were eight male ninja palette swaps at one point [Ermac, Scorpion, Reptile, Sub-Zero, Rain, Smoke, Noob Saibot, Khameleon].

Well...Midway just went crazy adding new characters, and didn't want to bother making new character models.

So generic Sub-Zero clone #27 it was....only this time in neon orange. :awesome:

[Venom Jr.]

Didn't Mortal Kombat die after the last game?
