But you have to admit, sausages of death were pretty funny.

Yes he is, though I've only seen him in a run through hard so far.

After playing some hours of Brawl, I notice something about Marth's Brawl.

Her Final Smash is a one-hit KO, right? Every time I play as her against others, I use it, and it's actually not that useful to use since while she sets herself up, they other player has enough time to just jump over her attack. It's really annoying.


Anyways, I want to know, how do you play? (Control Style).

I use the Gamecube controller.

[ckj846]

Marth is a boy.

O_o

[MystictheHedgehog]

Well I use gamecube controller as well ddr_fan, and I have had no issue at all using Marth's final smash, I hit usually every time.

[Dark Sonic]

Yeah some of the Final Smashes require good timing and coordination. I sometimes have trouble with it.

Anyways, out of all the characters I've played so far (haven't unlocked everyone and don't have the game during the week, so my brother's unlocking everyone. lol) my favorite character is Ike. His style seems to fit the best with me.

[Afrobean]

Protip: it's RETARDEDLY easy to unlock every character. Only ONE of the characters cannot be unlocked from playing adventure mode, and he's easy to guess how to unlock. Yeah, one of the ones unlocked in adventure mode can't be unlocked until you beat it and go back, but meh.

Yes he is, though I've only seen him in a run through hard so far.

Oh. The only time I've played Hard so far was with a non-main, and although I was able to clear it without much difficulty, I know I took WAY longer than I would have with Pikachu.

EDIT: oh man events are ****ing annoying

this one i have to take on 3 super heavyweights

with rob

with one life

on new pork city

oh and they kill you in like 2 hits on hard difficulty

oh and as soon as you start its basically impossible to avoid getting hit by charizard

I suppose it goes without saying... I'm VERY mad at the lack of A ****ING RETRY BUTTON JESUS CHRIST RETARD PROGRAMMERS NO I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RETRY WITHOUT SITTING THROUGH 5 MINUTE LOAD TIMES FOR NO REASON

Sakurai just plays on nostalgia. There's no other explanation for why Game and Watch was a character in Melee.

it was a character in mario kart DS it's also mentioned in the star fox series (though with a different design) it also appears as a cameo in other games like warioware. so yeah ROB is a good addition because first he fits with the storyline of the game and second because is a nintendo character that's been hidden in several series XD.

and in case you didn't know, game and watch had a videogame series that if i'm not mistaken had it's last game come out for GBA called game and watch 4

and relambrien i didn't have a problem when i played brawl either. in fact it might be slower but i just don't notice as much as other people do XD

Cruel Melee is indeed cruel.


By the by, is there a challenges chart up yet?

My best is 1.

Is it needed? The game itself guides you through it. Just do what it says.

[korny]

i've gotten 5 on cruel brawl only because i tried 4 or 5 times. My record in melee is in the low 20's

[MrGiggles]

I got the game yesterday.

Too bad there's been like half a second of button lag on every ****ing game I've played online. Half of my matches turned into a slideshow then froze. What joy.

[Afrobean]

oh man... ive been going about it all wrong

just looked up a video to see how people get good records

Using a tactic like this Im sure I could get the needed amounts. What they do is round them up, run around, then do a single attack that knocks each of them out in one hit even though the hit is simply not that powerful. I've been stuck on a "apply damage then knock out" method that always ends up with me getting raped. After getting hit once, they always have a habit of ****ing comboing me off of each other and of course I get knocked out instantly (I've even had times of getting hit once and being thrown so far by that one hit that I die right there). In other words though, I'd be all out offensive trying to plow through them when I should have just ran around them poked them off the edge.

Not exactly the type of skill I would say that I have any sort of strength in. When I play, I don't think "how can I avoid getting hit", I think "how can I apply damage and knock out". I'm sure I can get through it at least to get the trophy though. It's a shame I got so pissed off earlier at stupid ass ROB and disconnected my wii though.

[Gano]

I got 5 in Cruel as Lucas by running to one side, jumping off, Up B'ing and coming back right into them all as they crowd on the edge, run to the other side, repeat. Doesn't take much damage to knock them off either fortunately, so it only took like 15 minutes of trying to get the trophy

[Coolboyrulez0]

All Characters and All stages get.
Also 87% SSE mode complete.
Events I still got to do 5 of them (33 is on hard)
And now I am trying to unlock everything in the Challenges "room". (that's gonna take some time)

[YNXOT]

one of these days every one in here has to brawl at least once that would be kick ass XD

[Afrobean]

cool i just found out my wavebird is broken

Can anyone explain how minimally damaging the left side case would cause the Z button to not work at all?

Oh and I tried Cruel Melee, and it doesn't work like it does in Melee. Got it to 3 KOs on a fairly decent run (after only a few tries) before they went nutso and combod me off of like 3 of them.

Now, I'm not heavy on grapples/throws, but I am heavy on item lobbing. If I can find a wired GC controller you think it'd be cheaper? Really, it's the fact that it's not tethered that allowed me to apply as much damage as I did this time. I really should be thinking optimistically though... luckily I had enough wits about me to spare breaking my finger or something by punching the **** out of something.

EDIT: I get it. The guys in Brawl aren't moving in the same way that they would in Melee. In Melee they'd be jumping after me, allowing me to herd them above me, yet one of the bastards is just WALKING ACROSS THE BOTTOM waiting for me.

EDIT: ok lucked upon them coming into just about as perfect of a position as they could be and I must say, Pikachu's down smash did not do anything near what it did in the melee video I saw.

EDIT: rofl got all of them up to a reasonably high percent (min of 43, max of 79) and those ****ers still weren't going anywhere.

EDIT: man I am really loving this "u get ringed out in one hit lol" tactic they employed here to make it hard

EDIT: oh man I just got them to suicide by jumping off the edge to follow me. How does that infinite recovery work again? edit: wait did they fix that? I cant seem to do it. It's just jumps and forward Bs right?

EDIT: yeah this losing from one hit thing is really starting to piss me off. Im sitting there doing fox's teleport dash thing, slowly racking up damage on them, but doing so in a way that doesn't get me hurt at all, then all of a sudden some ****** hits me once and I go flying all the way to the right and die. I can't stand this kind of "difficulty". It's just ****ing stupid.

EDIT: took 5% from one single hit and died instantly from it. ****ing ridiculous. Asking a player to kill even one of these is tantamount to expecting Yoshi team from N64 on easy mode to be able to KO the player. I literally die as easily as the clone teams do in classic mode. Actually, you know what. I die EASIER than the clone teams do in this game.

EDIT: just played with a heavier character and I was able to absorb a more reasonable amount of damage before biting it. I was being ragdolled around, combod off of them mercilessly, but I was able to NOT DIE IN ONE HIT. This is a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH. Now, to find the fastest super heavyweight...

EDIT: now I am really confused. Bowser KO'd with 16%, while Link was still alive at like 50+...

EDIT: and now Bowser KO'd with 5%. Something is really ****ed up here.

EDIT: isn't bowser's down B a meteor smash? because I just nailed like 3 of these fighting polygon team rejects with it and they didnt respond properly

EDIT: yeah, definitely... super heavyweights are getting ragdolled just as easily, yet for a single run with link I was able to hold out dying for 50+%. ****ed up. I really need to learn this "worry more about saving your own ass than about fighting the opponent" style. Anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: it also seems like no matter what, the new polygon team's attacks are on a higher priority than mine. More than a few times, they cancelled my recovering attacks. Not Up B jump. I mean, land sloppily on ground, attack as I get up. I mean, grab ledge, attack as I climb up from ledge. Was I wrong in thinking that these attacks had higher priority than anything else?

I think it will go to you Afrobean.

Is he? I just cleared it on Easy and it seemed as much of a cakewalk as all of the other levels on Easy. I'll go try it on Hard.

EDIT: Mario wasn't so bad. It was Sonic that was really hurting me. Mario did very little relatively.
