Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Well, tonight was interesting.
Headed to the GameStop tourney thing with my brothers, to find out only one of us could participate because we only had one copy on reserve. One of them immediately dropped out, not very enthusiastic about going in the first place. The other was confused, because he wanted to play, but thought I'd do better than him.
I went ahead and let him participate. He played Fox throughout, and won. Then his trophy was a wrestler with the title "Smash. Bros. - Local Legend of Wreckage."
Afterwards, the head guy was awesome and let everyone play the game while waiting for midnight. My brother, as the champion, got to be first up, and he beat like two people again before coming up against me. I picked Ike. I won. In fact, I went 3-0 at GameStop on the night
. Ike, Meta Knight, Marth in that order. (They let us keep unlocked characters after the tourney since it was just for fun while waiting anyway).
The Wiimote+nunchuck control scheme is really weird, but it was easy enough to get used to. By the end of the first match I had a pretty good grip on it. Shielding with the left hand is kinda strange, and there's no single button for tossing items (I think maybe one direction on the dpad could do that, but it's really inconvenient), but overall, not that bad. If I had to switch to it, I could. But as of now, I'm sticking with the GCN controller.
So then we went home, and we started playing. We've gotten like three new characters so far, but I plan on finishing SSE soon enough and getting the rest of them.
But one thing though, it's weird. People kept saying that Brawl feels totally different from Melee and that it takes forever to get used to. It doesn't feel all that strange to me, and I adapted very easily. I now feel very comfortable in the game, and I don't fall into any Melee habits. This is after just a few hours of playing.
I don't know, either people were exaggerating or I'm just really good at adapting to things.
