Saying that he probably won't play brawl because it seems slower-paced does sound stupid - It sounds the same to me, I don't like that it's sounds slower-paced, but I'm still gonna play it - but it's more legitimate than what you say. You can't understand your true skill level based off of AI alone. So what if, when I'm practicing on my own, I can pull off stupid Rest combos as Jigglypuff? Or if my tech skill is perfect? It doesn't matter unless I can do it against an actual person - AI and people are two vastly different things. Even with items factored in.

Also, saying you won't play a game because of you don't like multiplayer is stupid. There's more to games than their multiplayer modes, such as their stories, sub stories, quests (in some games)...the list goes on. You did, however, say in another thread that you think the halo story sucks, so I'll drop this here.

And how many times in the thread have I said I've never lost a match against another person?

I at least lose to the AI, so I consider it more of a challenge. People suck against me. The AI at least learns not to stand where I want them to stand when the item I threw five seconds ago is going to fall and open them up for my combo.

And again, I've played Halo's single player campaigns. The first one was decent. The second one was pathetic. Nobody around me even has an Xbox 360, so I can't play the third (not that I have any interest after playing the second one). It's a simple as that! My friend bought an Xbox for Halo, beat it once, and never used it again. He doesn't have Xbox Live and never even once considered getting it. The game he plays the most on his Xbox? Morrowind. #2? Deus Ex. The game he never plays anymore? Halo.

These same friends refuse to play me in Smash. I let them go 3v1 on me and I still win. They hate playing against me because the match is decided before I even start. So yeah, I do have human experience. It's just that every human I've played refuses to play me ever again because they're embarrassed I can win with a random character with their rules on their stage with a handicap on 3v1.

And these aren't random people. My friends are gamers. One of them 100%ed Starfox on his N64 without an FAQ. The other constantly plays new games and finishes them in record times. Heck, I think he beat Twilight Princess two days after Wii launched.

And in more important news:

Subspace Emissary gameplay videos! I like the Pit / Mario one the best myself, but they're all awesome. Adventure mode is looking so much better every day. The game is definitely polished already.
