Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Gen. Discussion & Info

[quote name='judyjudyjudy']He could have suggested the change in the thread or suggested changing the thread into a general discussion. It's kinda disrespectful to make changes to somebody's post when they don't want to change it unless they're violating TOS or something. And you guys are blowing DMK's reaction way out of proportion.[/quote]

Agreed.

It seems like abuse of power to change things that aren't in violation. While it IS a small thing, it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth that a Mod changed someone's thread just becuase they felt like it.
 
WE GET SONIC IN IT!

I mean come on, of course it was gonig to be delayed, that was clear. Nintendo could never release Metriod, Mario and SSB all on time.

And once again....

IT HAS SONIC IN IT!!!!!!!

[quote name='BattleChicken']Agreed.

I have seen that a few times, absolutel power corrupts absolutely. There's nothing you can do because if you say something the mod will most likely come after you.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']you did throw a tantrum so I'm glad dallow took over.[/quote]

Throw a tantrum? I think that's a bit much.

Was not changed....added to the title people...God why are some of you so bitter about it...it was big news...rather than having a seperate thread with the date...I added it to the title. I would have made a suggestion but If I could edit it, why not...I meant good by it. PM CheapyD with your complaints if you want. Lets all get over it and continue with the thread and stay on topic please.

[quote name='Rocko']Throw a tantrum? I think that's a bit much.[/quote]

Tough crowd...
Closing a thread because "Delayed to 2/10/2007" was added to the title I would consider an overdramatic action and a tantrum...yes.
 
Guh. Fine.

Guess what. You fucked up.

End of story.

God damn. How is it that hard to comprehend? Your - and anyone else's - opinion on DMK's actions are secondary to you fucking up.

Happy? No?

God damn. I don't see why you can't apologize, take your lumps from commentators, and just not get defensive over and over...
 
Sigh....

Oh, well. At least they wisely released the Sonic updates the same week they announced the delay.

And the Dark Link mention pretty much confirms the fact that at least a few of the characters will have skins to make them look like different characters. Hopefully, this will make the Ness/Lucas and Ike/Marth/Roy debates moot. I'm still holding out for Shiek as an individual character with a unique moveset, though.

I hate getting into it but no...I apologized because somehow he was offended. Do I think I fucked up? Absolutely not. Did he overreact? I'd say so.
 
hmm...dont want to ask about what happened to dr. mario kart, so I won't but could we still get the daily pics of everything and whatnot?

Do you have kids? Or have you ever been around a toddler who doesn't get a cookie that he wants?
 
Linkin apologized for the slight guffaw.
Fine by me.

DMK closed his own thread way too quickly though.
But dmaul's stupid "baby" picture was dumb.

Especially for someone who doesn't like his Wii, and doesn't care about Smash anyway.

DMaul, I blame you.
 
What's the big deal? He added a small & helpful quip to the title. It's not like he randomly locked the thread or anything.

How the hell did DMK close his own thread?
 
I think I'm going to officially stop going to Gamespot. Here's their "hands-on preview":

Nintendo showed off a playable, work-in-progress version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii at a media event today. The playable demo of the game featured 14 playable characters, including the recently announced Sonic the Hedgehog. We were able to pick any of the fighters and dive into a two-minute KO brawl on one of 11 stages. Although the playable demo was obviously focused on letting the assembled press get their hands on the game, the other big aspect of the demo was the ability to try out two of the control schemes being used, either with the classic controller or only the Wii Remote.

I wouldn't say that trying 2/4 control schemes is a "big aspect". Sure, it's definitely a component of the event, but the main focus is actually getting to play the game, in all aspects. This should be an exciting event for gamers, not a hum-drum look at control specifics.

Prior to our initial hands-on time, a brief presentation for the game by a Nintendo rep offered a quick overview of the schemes and showed off the game's familiar mechanics, as well as some of the new tweaks being made. The roster of fighters included the usual already-announced suspects: Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Fox McCloud, Pikachu, Diddy Kong, Pit, Meta Knight, Ike (from the Fire Emblem series), Peach, Yoshi, Sonic, and Bowser. As with the previous games, each character can be personalized a bit with a set of alternate color schemes to choose from.
Click to expand...
Granted, all of the characters have been previously announced. But since when are Sonic, Meta Knight, Pit, Diddy Kong, and Ike "the usual suspects"? I certainly haven't ever played as them in Smash. Just a general negative tone to take when delivering a preview. God forbid that fans actually want to know how the new characters play, and any details about them.

After two quick battles--one between Mario and Samus, and the other featuring Sonic and Link--we were able to try the game ourselves. Although we intend to clock in a lot more time with the game, our initial impressions are: It's Smash Brothers, and it's fun. Nevertheless, the jury is still out on the two control schemes; currently we're not thrilled with either option, and we're longing for a GameCube controller. Regardless, we're going to keep an open mind and log in time before rendering judgment.
Click to expand...
"It's Smash Brothers, and it's fun." That's it!? That's all you have to say about it? Did your Halo 3 previews go "It's Halo, and it's fun"? Horrible reporting.

Our first take on the visuals in action is that they're sharp, with nice bits of flash peppered throughout. Character models look good, and the stages are nicely designed, with a lot of motion and dynamic elements that include plenty of hazards. The game moves at a smooth clip, regardless of how crazy the visuals get, which should keep things vibrant and wild.
Click to expand...
You couldn't get any more understated if you tried. How about comparing the visuals to other Wii games? Not many games this generation run at 60fps, and yet all they can say is that it "moves at a smooth clip"?

That's what we have so far, but you can expect more soon. In the meantime, we'll have videos and an interview on the game up shortly.
Click to expand...
There was just no substance in this "hands-on", and what was there had such an apathetic and/or negative tone.

Feh. I'm done with them.
 
[quote name='dallow']and doesn't care about Smash anyway.
[/QUOTE]

Hey now. I care about Smash. Day one buy for me and damn disappointed in the delay as I doubt I'll fire up the Wii for anything between Mario and Smash in February.

And DMK's about the biggest cry baby I've came across on this site full of crybabies, so the picture was very APT IMO. ;)

The picture fits you more aptly than anyone else, seeing how you're always bitching and moaning about the Wii non-stop.
 
[quote name='EXStrike']Too much drama in here. Back to Smash.

Seeing an Advance Wars assist trophy made me really happy.[/QUOTE]

That's what happens when the Trolls get loose.
 
Don't get me wrong, DMK overreacted, but I don't understand why Linkin felt like it's his job to mess with other people's threads.
 
So with the delay surrounding Smash Bros. I hope the same doesn't happen to Mario Galaxy and that it actually makes it out this year. Don't rush it though ;)
 
[quote name='munch']Don't get me wrong, DMK overreacted, but I don't understand why Linkin felt like it's his job to mess with other people's threads.[/QUOTE]

He was just trying to be helpful by adding the delayed date to the title. I like that the date was added, and would not have a problem with that kind of addition to an INFORMATIVE thread I was keeping.

But DMK is a fanboy, and I guess he didn't want any bad news for Nintendo in his thread title. :whistle2:#

Meh, difference between bitching and moaning and throwing a childish little pissy fit.

And besides, half of my bitching and moaning is just deliberate attempts to annoy fanboys while I'm bored at work. :D

You screwed up dude.
 
i just read about this today on ign. i was shocked to see a feb release date. i thought it was coming out this year in december.

i guss they want to have space between mario galaxy and smash bros? or they just need to furthur updatet he game? i guess a better game is better than an early release.

Where is this so-called pissy fit anyhow? Was it that quick little blarb from a few pages ago?
 
On one hand: I'm pissed. The Wii thus far has been an epic disapointment for me. I'd say the Wii, PS3, PS2 and DS are tied up in the race to see who can have the worst first year lineup, with the Wii slightly in the lead.

On the other hand: One less game to buy is a great thing.
 
Oh no! The title has been edited yet again!

I didn't do it!

S'coo.
However when I officially start updating it tomorrow, I'm naming it how I want it.

That's absolutely ridiculous. Just because the douchebag is your RL friend, doesn't mean that you have to defend his 5 year old antics.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Looks like Double Dash is the main multiplayer game for yet another Christmas. Not that that's bad, but I wanted to show off some Mario Vs Sonic.[/QUOTE]
Well, you could play the Mario and Sonic Olympics game, I suppose...


[quote name='WiiGame']i guss they want to have space between mario galaxy and smash bros? or they just need to furthur updatet he game?[/QUOTE]
They need the extra time to make the game the best they can. If they could have had it out for Christmas, I'm sure they would have. It just wasn't in the cards this time.
 
I like the final smashes.

I'll probably play with them for a while before I turn off the Smash Balls.
I'm happy about the way they're used.
 
[quote name='-Never4ever-']Where is this so-called pissy fit anyhow? Was it that quick little blarb from a few pages ago?[/QUOTE]

One minor addition (not change--addition mind you) to a thread he'd been updating for a long time and he cries, takes his ball and goes home.

That's a pissy fit. Over nothing other than not wanting the delay in the title as it's negative news for his beloved Nintendo.
 
Can anyone explain what these "trophies" that affect game play are to me?


[quote name='zewone']I didn't know it was delayed, so if LP didn't change the title, I wouldn't have known.

Thanks Linkin.

DMK can cry and tell the story to his Colecovision for all I care.[/QUOTE]
:applause:

Same here. Hell, I was making plans to head over to my friends house to mooch off his Wii on the 3rd of December only today.

Thanks for the heads up, Linkin.

No shit. If anything, from buying the DS and Wii at launch I've learned to never buy a console at launch again. Ever. Waiting to the first or second price drop from now on. Will save some cash, and can make an informed purchase of the console(s) which have enough games I want to play to warrant owning.
 
[quote name='dmaul1114']That's a pissy fit. Over nothing other than not wanting the delay in the title as it's negative news for his beloved Nintendo.[/QUOTE]Seriously, are you just saying this to piss people off?
 
What's the big fuckin' deal about LP changing the title. It's not like any of us created this game. This thread with the copy/paste updates was useless, might as well just link to the site and at most post the update in plain text (in the topic title) like dallow. If you were to put up some sort of information, make it the kind that's not directly linkable from the smashbros website. Like the impressions Zen Davis posted earlier was pretty nice.

Here's to more sausage fests.
 
[quote name='judyjudyjudy']Seriously, are you just saying this to piss people off?[/QUOTE]

Partly, as that's half the point of most of my posts. Especially if they involve DMK or Strell. :D

But it's mostly serious as I don't see why else anyone would get upset over someone adding a huge piece of news to their thread title. It was just a nice service to the forum. If it was my thread, I'd be happy that the mods saved me some time. *shrugs*

I'm pretty sure he didn't want the addition because (IIRC) this thread was originally about Smash Bros. site updates, and the site didn't mention anything about the new release date. Minor point, I'm sure, but that along with a mod editing his posts when it's not necessary... I can understand his reaction. Control freak, maybe, but nothing to do with being fanboy.

But everything I do is nice so to me it's nothing special. ;)

With anyone else other than DMC, Strell or Scrub King I'd agree with you. But some people I just don't give that benefit of the doubt--i.e the handful of people on my ignore list for being too raging of fanboys for me to listen to anything they say seriously.

I only saw his crap this time as I wanted to know why the hell the thread was closed on a day we finally had some big news (i.e. a firm release date/delay).
 
Seriously guys, quit it. It's getting annoying.

GAF's Brawl Hands-On thread is getting alot of videos and hands-on impressions, and gleaming a bunch of info. Good read.

This game is just getting harder and harder to wait for.

Oh hey, lilboo:

http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3163615

Some of the other characters like Princess Peach may seem a bit weak, with slower attacks and a plodding pace. But the addition of the Smash Ball seems to help balance things a bit. The fast and easy-to-use characters like Meta Knight have super directional Smash Ball attacks (if you don't place it correctly, the whole thing is basically a dud), but Princess Peach has a large screen-filling one that starts off with two mirror images of her showing up on the right and left sides, blowing a kiss of rose petals, followed by round, fuzzy peaches raining from the sky, effectively wiping out everything in sight.

What's been found out:
Castle Siege's Third Part
Norfair Stage
Dark Link
Meta Knight's FS
Advance Wars Assist
Little Mac Assist
Drill Dozer Assist
Metroid Assist
Intro Animations are back

Add on if I'm missing something.

I find it kinda neat in the stage select screen, where it shows you what game the stage is from over the stage name.
