what does 2D fighting games have to do with anything? everybody knows that is slower than melee how did you find out without playing the game?

PGR4 rules

I’ve been looking for something that will get my non-gamer friends to play too, and I’m hoping Brawl will be like Melee in the fact that people aren’t intimidated to just pick it up and play it. Melee was cool for really casual gamers because you could tweak so many things and make it easier/harder/just crazy, so it worked for beginners in that it’s just stupid fun. Shit, even my parents played Melee with me.

I’m never been a nintard in my life (with the exception of N64, but I mean, come on) and I agree there are better systems out there.

…like my 360 (although I don’t have much money atm for anything new).

Can’t really argue with that, although I prefer 3d myself (Virtua Fighter particularly).

Now this, I haven’t really noticed. Some characters seemed to be sped up, like DK, to make them useful. I guess if there really were a difference, I’d know playing them side to side, but not really while I’m playing.

Ok, the fans are incredibly awkward as well. Incredibly. INCREDIBLY. When SSMB, sweet mother of christ, every one shit their pants while I kinda shrugged and was like “Oh, cool, new smash.”

and in real life? More embarassing. We showed up at the midnight release like, 6 minutes to midnight. There were some creepy characters, like one guy who lit a cigarette but never inhaled, and a guy who had 100% pure girl hair (if you couldn’t see it from the front, it definitely looked like a woman). Take that, and the people who screamed and honked their horns when they got their game (like, hey moron, your dumbass waited 7 hours to get a game 3 minutes earlier than the people who showed up 4 minutes ago). This is definitely a negative towards the game that Nintendo can only correct with mass genocide.

Yea, online is pretty lame.

My friend bought (well, x-mas present) a wii for us to play, but I would never get a system for one game, really.

So, basically, if you’re friends got smash, I wholly endorse it, really. It improves just about everything (I mean, a sequel 7 years in the making, it has to). It’s still the best game to play with a group of friends in my mind, but if you try your hand at anything else (online) you’re better off not bothering with it at all.

Also, there’s no mic, because they knew the wave of mouth breathers would be entirely too annoying to prevent & remove.
