Wow, update 100 was something big after all... Hahah...

I am worried... I have been wanting Captain Falcon for ages now... The icon select made me wonder if he'll be a starter or not...

"There will also be no battle records kept for [With Anyone] mode. "

**** it. This is a terrible, if not totally unexpected, decision by Nintendo =\ Come on, you could have a ranked AND an unranked mode for With Anyone, but Nintendo hates competition, apparently. It's not even about being better than someone else and proving it with a record, but making sure newbs can fight newbs and pros fight pros. I'd rather not be stuck fighting what seems like five year-olds all day when looking for a challenge.
**** it all.
Yeah...that was the first thing I noticed after I stopped jumping around everywhere...Mario Strikers' online service was exactly what was needed - ranked = Play Anyone, Friends = Unranked. Simple. If you want a casual match, you play friends. I think Sakurai has got all mixed up somewhere...

Also, "And there are other modes besides just free-for-alls. [With Friends]"
So, Special Brawl and Team Battle confirmed...
However, it looks like "With Anyone" Will NOT allow 1 v 1 play, unless no-one else connects for players 3 and 4 in the time limit (look at the top) - which I doubt, since this will be a very popular online game. Hopefully, you can request to add your opponents in With Anyone mode...

I think Falcon is either this week or next week. He should definatly be the next character though.

Yeah, in fact, you can pick any competitive WFC game and it will be like that, you'll even know the name and ranking of most of the people you're playing. Why so much protection? This game will be rated T for teen again, right?

Thank the Lord and Praise Jesus! (I know, redundant) It's about time to made this update! Lets just hope the connection isn't TOO bad or anything. I mean it would probably be best against friends and the such.

But seriously, best update eva! Hello taunting galore! (I doubt they will be you know, moderating those more than four letter taunts...)

The more distant you are, the worse your connection becomes, and the slower it feels. I apologize, but I hope you understand.
I want to take this man into a room at the nearest Econo Lodge and make sweet, passionate love to him.

OF COURSE WE UNDERSTAND, SAKURAI.

None of your business.
I'm glad WiFi has been implemented. Now, I can play with anyone and not worry about my online ranking, plus play with my friends.

Further proof that Brawl will be the greatest video game ever.

finally its confirmed, im curious what the other online modes are im hoping that 2 players can play online together like in smash football. and i love that if you play a random match no score is aquired that means that noone wil start running like a baby everytime ill kick there ***.

i just dont like one thing, if you see the screenshot here below. you see that under there picture with procent it says there name like samus and mario. why wont they put your name in there like shodan

and this is what people are really gonna put in there taunts

I knew the 100th post would be a good'n!!!

And looking at the avatar screen... I'm thinking we may have all of our starters out already. But I'm sure that once we unlock them all, we'll have more options to choose from.

I guess Ness (if he returns) and Captain Falcon are secrets again...

This is great and will cause a lot less complaining on the board, but I hope it's2 players on a console, otherwise it'll suck.

Amazing 100th update! I'm psyched about Wi-Fi connection for battles and even more features. I really hope though there's more customization than he showed: more icons, more choice besides characters and stage (items on/off). Also i love how there's at least 5 letter names online. I can't even BEGIN to say enough about this update!

Wifi for Brawl was unavoidable, but the problem was how.

online gaming is today standard and wii know Nintendo hates today standards unless it was there idea. (analogstick, rumble etc)
Implent online feature in a game is not that hard, any software designers can do and with a little research they will know vast majority wants online raking or at least not want to fight random "noob".

Know SSBM is the game held with the most tournaments of all time. I migth be wrong and maybe Street Fighter have more then SSBM. But mind, Street Fighter release a new sequel almost every year, you can't even say which is the latetst but SSBM lasted for 6 years and competition keep ongoing till December the 3th.

Yes, online will save us a lot travel costs and time, but what you get in return is priceless, right?
You see new places, some is there first time flying, meet new peeps , punch your opponent if you cannot beat ingame and what have you.
Sakuari make it online just pure fun, they emphasize the multi-player part and let us to compete in real life!

<p align="center"><strong>With Anyone</strong>
This mode is just a free for all with 3 other smashers. No names, no taunts, just the usual smash up. One plus is this is WORLD wide, not just region (Mario Strikers, looking at you!) However even with worldwide there’s bound to be a peroid where you’re waitng for that extra person to join, so Sakurai’s recruited Sandbag for your waiting-smash up entertainment.
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/wi-fi01_070918f-l.jpg" alt="Gotta love Sandbag" /></p>
<p align="center">Quite a fitting update for Update #100.</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">God I love this game. :)</p>
I don't think With Anyone will be restricted to only a match with 4 players.

On the update it says

Sakurai said:
Your opponent (Not opponents) will not know your name or any information about you, and neither of you (Not yous) can send short messages. There will also be no battle records kept for this mode, so whether you win or lose, it doesn’t matter. Just sit back and play.

Right behind you with a knife.
So indeed it Wi-Fi is in. :O

If you gauge Sakurai's wording, he seems a bit regretful maybe. It will cause a good deal of lag in certain sections, that's for sure, and your know that standard tournies are going to have to convine in the same manner as they always have, but still, this is good news. Now I have to figure out how to get my Wii to use Wi-Fi in my dorm. ;_;
