I don't have any Luigi or DK, but here's some notes:

You have to play DK 20 times to unlock a stage. My crew and I would rather kill ourselves than play him. He's not bad, in fact, he's better. But DK is lame as hell. (By kill ourselves, I meant one stock suicide)

Luigi is faster, stronger, more able to combo, and his >b can be held forever.

Also people on Shoryuken.com were impressed wtih these vids. Best ones they have seen they all agreed. But one of them had a question. So, here it is.

Are you guys playing on a handicap because your fights are much shorter and you are killing peoplemuch sooner then in other matches on the internet.

I personally told them that it's just cuz you guys play smart, and abuse the high knockbacks moves to get kills, but please give me confirmation of this ok?
lol, we didn't change the handicaps at all. Reminds me of the people that would ask if us smashers were playing in lighting melee.

We'll be recording some more tomorrow night with amazing special TSA guest: Teh Spamerer!! Hopefully he'll be able to abuse stuff even more than us in the game. "I'm so sure he will"

I still have to wonder, why do people feel this way about DK? What makes him so, "lame as hell"?

By the way, I'm maining Pit/Lucas, so expect a lot of Lucas.
Darn straight, the two characters I'm most looking forward to.

Anyways, please DO upload a crapton of Lucas videos.
Preferably, try using his Bair and PK Freeze effectively, I'm really interested in them.
By the way, what is the final judgment on DJC for Lucas?

So are you saying there's no chance in hell that you would record a 1 on 1 match of one of you guys playing Donkey Kong? Seriously, is it that bad? I mean, it's not that hard to play a character once or twice that you don't like... All the Donkey Kong fans, myself included, have been very anxious to see more of him in action. If you could just record a match or two with him, that would be all that I desire.

And honestly, I also wonder, why does everyone think Donkey Kong is lame as hell? He actually happens to be my favorite Nintendo character. It's also funny to me how so many people like Diddy Kong, but hate Donkey Kong... They're not so different if you think about it. They're primates with one or two pieces of clothes on...you either love them, or you hate them. I'm actually glad that Donkey Kong is my favorite character, because otherwise, I would probably be like all those other players who will only use Marth or Fox (though, Fox is my second favorite =D).

I know, I know...but I'm just saying, what makes him so much lamer than the other characters? Mario is a plumber that jumps... Fox is...a fox...that wears clothes and has a gun. I mean seriously... If you really think about it, most characters are lame in their own weird sort of way. I just don't get what makes Donkey Kong so much more lame than the other characters.

By the way, thanks. I appreciate it. Like I said, one or two videos is good (two preferably =D). I really think a Bowser V.S. Donkey Kong match on Final Destination (or Battlefield...or both, ha) would be pretty cool to watch, but one of the main reasons I want to see more Donkey Kong footage is because I want to see and hear his new victory pose/music. Thanks again.

You discovered Midva!
Nice 2v2's. I liked the ending to the marth+ike vs diddy+lucario one.

You should get something with IC's up. I don't think I've seen matches with them in it yet...

How do pits arrows work? How do you change the way they go? How long can you charge it for? Also(sorry for so many questions) The longer you hold the arrow the more damage it does?

I may put up like 2 more vids but that'll be it until we record again tomorrow.

Yes MY SONIC SUCKS BALLLLLZZZZ!!11

Or perhaps Dm's Lucas is just too good? It think its both.

First time playing Sonic. If anyone thinks their Sonic is all that then lets mm your Sonic vs my Falco. Besides that I'll be sure to attempt your requests Emblem Lord.

Either way we're getting a rematch on that one for sure.

You have to aim them. It's actually kinda hard at get at first, but you'll get used to it. You can hold it for about 2-3 seconds.

And yes.

I don't mean to be pushy or anything, but do you think you will have any videos of him up tonight?
One match, yes. I played it just for you, so you better watch it twenty times. >_<

Can I request a match of two of Dedede?

Especially because you guys say hes really good, I want to see why/how :)
Space's (Turbo Ether) dedede will have like 8or 9 matches up by tomorrow.

What is your overall opinion of Brawl so far?
40/40

Things about the Link vs. Toon vid.

First, I know bombs got boosted, but boomerangs got nerfed. At the same time, arrows got boosted. Boomerang may still be the only thing that can be aimed up, but I foresee Link and Toon players to use their arrows more often and accurately, to as much as bombs used to be used. You did use arrows a lot in this vid, but I feel you may have used bombs too much.

Second, both of you forgot about Link's idle standing shield and how well it can block arrows.

Third, people will really need to learn how to use the Gale Boomerang. I remember seeing a vid where someone got caught in it and was coming back, and Link player saw this and charged up a spin attack, getting a KO.

If you get caught in it, you can attack, or airdodge. It's not a huge fear. lol

We didn't forget about anything, it's about dodge, and applying pressure, not waiting around. ^_~

And yeah, I see what you mean about Toon Link. He seems very "safe" and fast. However, I would have expected to see more use of the Forward Smash.

In the vid, when arrow came, the guy blocked it, with the bubble shield. If they were jumping over it to do another attack, sure, but instead they blocked it by pressing L or R at many different points when they could have easily just let go of the stick if they couldn't get out of the way.
