[quote name='kainzero']If you're a casual player then yes, it would feel the same. Same old chaos, items dominating, a lot of randomness, etc.
As a 1v1 / no item player, it feels totally different. Small tweaks to a core system can change the gameplay completely; see Guilty Gear XX series and SF2 for that matter.
So in Brawl, they changed a lot. It is much harder to get KOs at < 100% since most attacks knock you upward instead of away, making it less edge-guard centered. Loss of wavedashing and dashdancing make approaching a lot harder. It's easier to grab ledges now. It's harder to combo, especially off throws. DI is improved and there is less of an auto effect, making it easier to rack up damage on jabs against people that can't DI. More characters have critical hits, and some have been toned down (MARTH! =P) New physics mean different hitboxes and priorities. Power shielding (using shield JUST before an attack comes) is a lot easier and leads to a lot of mindgames.
So there are a lot of changes in the 1v1 game that may not manifest themselves completely in a chaotic, items on, FFA-type game.[/QUOTE]
You're putting way too much thought into the game. :shock:
Personally, I don't care if it resembles a "real" fighting game or not. Four characters and items is just more fun to play most of the time.
[quote name='asianxcore']Trying to unlock my final 2 characters (Star Wolf/Toon Link) is getting annoying.
I wish I could just unlock them already so I can REALLY start enjoying the game [/QUOTE]
It took me two tries to get Toon Link and Jigglypuff, and three for Toon Link. There were a lot of cases of bad luck there (like getting blasted by the Arwings and the cannons), but it was definitely a little frustrating.

He comes in at the final boss, you unlock him once you beat the final boss
Ahh ok....so i know who i have left. I thought
master hand was a playable character.
[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't that break the game unless they made some radical changes to the character? He's much too big and too powerful. Don't count on him ever being a playable character (ignoring the Game Shark hacks in Melee)
[quote name='JohnnyFoxDarko']lilboo, when will you be on?
I think I want to play some Rock Band, but I don't know if I should do it before or after.[/quote]
Hey just so you know I added you (I'll PM you too in case you miss this)
Mars, I thought it was weird how sometimes in our 4-player game, it would freeze for like, 5 seconds, then the connection would just be crystal clear afterwards.

Lol.
Don't look at me.
No one's ever complained that I lag on a 1 vs 1, so I assume I don't ...
hopefully I don't :O
[quote name='The 7th Number']Does anyone know how many playable characters there are? Right now i have 34 characters and i know im missing
Jigglypuff,....cant seem to beat her in story mode err.
Also im 93% done with story mode. Trying to get it 100% complete.[/quote]
Yeah I haven't been able to get her too, last one i need. It's funny how she was the easiest one to unlock in the first two and now shes the hardest lol.
[quote name='The 7th Number']I know what you mean....i think.
I beat toon link and wolf on the first try. but jigglypuff pisses me off. Because it takes a while to actually get to her. Then once i do i always lose, even on easy. I dont know why im having such a hard time with her. I eventually stop trying because i get sick of going through the level over and over.
[/QUOTE]
Definitely. It just sucked having to go through a good chunk of the "Ruins" stage only to lose to Star Wolf. Just got annoying.
I have to report though that I finally beat Toon Link and Star Wolf!
Probably based on pure luck, but I now have all the characters unlocked. It was pretty much the first thing I wanted to do when I first got this game so now I can just mess around with all the characters, see who I like playing as the most. Also this gives me a chance to try out the Events and maybe unlock more stages.
I have not been able to get one yet today how has the lag ben? Yesterday I played a match or two and it wasnt to bad it started out at about a 1 second lag and turned into a .5 second lag.
[quote name='BlueLobstah']I think that was me (blue). Your Lucas whipped me into shape. [/quote]
That was a great match for me.
I wish I could save replays!
