Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Hey, Amazon just shipped mine, too. Maybe I won't have to wait two weeks like I did when I pre-ordered Galaxy from them.

This happened to me too.

I think it was just the holiday season that messed with the timeframe for that order.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

A reminder to those who are going out to stores right when they open to get the game:

Daylight Savings Time is tonight. Make sure to get up and at the stores one hour earlier than you originally expected

[Squeek]

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Daylight Saving transitions at 2:00AM.

Also, it's Daylight Saving. Not savings.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

3 more hours... and i am busting out my house running to Gamestop 5 miles away and get the game, if they're closed, I bust in the window, deactivate the camera and take the game.

Hmm...if I could convince my parents to drive my sister and I to the nearest Future Shop/Toys R Us/EB Games (they're all in the same plaza lol), I would buy this game. Sonic will be my first character to play.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

I got an e-mail from Nintendo, (Maybe someone else asked this question, I never searched this tread) and its about the SSBB Tournament. The Grand Prize is just a trip to NY/Nintendo World Store? Or is there more to it? http://nintendo.ca/cgi-bin/usersite/...g=en&pageNum=7 I want to enter but all i'm saying is will it be worth it?

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Yep, I have it.

So I got it at a gamestop and afterwards I thought I'd give it a try at a display in the store. He played as Lucas and I played as Meta-Knight. I racked up the damage with that crazy hyper-speed sword he has and knocked him out with some sort of smash hit. After he came back a hammer fell in front of him so I died pretty quickly. That was about when time ran out, leading to the 300% sudden death thingy, which I think is pretty cool, however it's pretty lame when items can win the game for you, like how a bomb appeared 2 ft above my head while I was slicing him up and exploded, immediately killing me, which of course led to the hooting droves screaming OWNED ROFLROFLROFL. I just kind of went o.O, said, "uh... good game" and left.

Smash players are still the lowest form of life.

So I'm guessing they left in the 15 second wait to fight Wolf in SSE.

That is a straight up lie. Ike is wayyy too much fun to be terrible lol.

He isn't that bad, he's a big slower, but so are all the strong characters.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Went to a midnight launch party..wasn't as impressed with brawl as I was hoping. Peach plays like a completely different character now that she doesn't have a dmsash that's worth EVER doing, Marth is laughably overpowered (his fsmash seems to kill at even lower percentages than in melee if it's not suffering from move degredation), and the game feels a lot different from melee. I'm not saying it's anywhere near bad but from the 5 hours I played it, it just feels sluggish because everyone is floatier and can recover from much further away, so the games last really long (4 person, 3 stock ffa is 6-8 minutes). One of the good points of brawl, however, would probably be that Ike and DDD are both awesome and actually fun to play, unlike the heavyweights in melee. Metaknight and pit are annoying as hell. The pokemon trainer should have just been 3 characters so you weren't forced to use 2 other characters you don't like if you only like one of them. More of the characters should be unlocked from the beginning (you start with about a THIRD of them). Load times are sorta erratic. At the beginning of the night they were 10-15 seconds pretty consistently but later on we thought it had frozen and were about to reset it when it finished. Probably just the Wii and not the game. Overall, a pretty fun game, but Melee > Brawl so far. I'll admit that I'm a little biased since I've played Melee for a total of a couple hundred hours and Brawl for 5.
