I would argue the boards were never actually "fun" to begin with. Rather, they were merely bearable.

Haha no I just know enough to see through all of this pedantic elitist posturing. Anyone who calls Smash Bros a "serious game" has his or her priorities screwed up. And anyone who doesn't understand why Smash Bros is a brilliant series is equally screwed up. I don't give two ****s about what...

How does that make him domination material, again? He's got a single situational kill move that will begin to suffer from diminishing returns the more the player relies on it...which does not bode well at all. After having played as and against Pit, however, Pit is going to be one to watch...

Now keep in mind I think you all are horridly absurd, but just to satisfy my morbid curiosity... Firstly, I agree. Tripping is terrible. Secondly, nobody in their right mind would consider Melee a "serious" game. It's a goofy Nintendo slug-fest through and through. Any game that...

Who gives a ****? Come on, people. I hope none of you ever wonder why normal people make fun of forums and their weird, twisted memberbase. Because if any of you wonder why the masses ridicule you, look no further than this thread. Get a frigging clue, for the love of God. It doesn't...

Even though Samus is floaty as hell by nature, this video still excites me because there were some really fun combos there. I see the new aerial game.

I haven't played Brawl yet, but...why would these stages be banned? What is there in terms of the level architecture that would grant unfair advantages? Banning Mario Kart, Skyworld, and Green Hill Zone really has me scratching my head. So DeDeDe's chain-throw was the factor? Um...explain...

For me, the big factor is going to be how the game feels, primarily speed-wise. If it feels a lot slower than Melee, then I might go back pretty frequently. If Brawl's speed is still decently fast, I'll be very happy rocking it out.

They do obviously drown, but it doesn't seem like it'll be a major issue, regardless of whether you're playing a tourney or not. What I see happening in that video is non-blue Pikmin drowning when they're in the water for over a second. Even in this video, you'll see Olimar jumping to keep the...

Excellent ground game.

Watch that match versus rob. Super-armor from the whistle had nothing to do with much of that match, if anything. Because the Olimar player was doing well because he was controlling the ground most of the match, and using short-hops more than full-blown aerials. He wasn't letting himself be...

The trick with Olimar is always going to be staying on the ground as much as possible. If you start going in the air against someone who can juggle, you're screwed. Check out the 1v1 videos against Wolf in the Olimar video compendium here. If you do want to include some air-game, the best...

Excuse me? The industry still loses if Nintendo gets screwed here, you do realize. Smash Bros Brawl is their only AAA title until Wii Zelda, and we all know how far off Wii Zelda is...and how prone to delays it might be. If this game tanks because it ends up playing like mush, that's a major...

Smash Bros being a success or failure commercially or critically is irrelevant to what I was saying. I don't care if Brawl does well or fails miserably. Either way, it's set a dangerous precedent that other developers may be pressured to follow. If it does well, all the more pressure for...

Here's the thing, man. You know why I think this roster would be a fantastic roster for Brawl? For the very same reason you hate it: it doesn't bend over for the fans. I said this over at IGN a long time ago, but now it deserves to be said here. Now, to be clear, this post was made in...
