My grandparents have similar qualms with video games, tv, internet, etc. But I never lived with them and when I would visit as a kid I would respect their views because I was in their house. That's life, though. Unless you're paying rent you're at the mercy of the home owner.

Ditto. The only reason I have a credit card is to build credit. You youngsters don't realize how many things you can be denied as an adult for having "no" credit. That's not bad credit, just the absence of it altogether. I got one of those Citi Bank Shell Gas credit cards. I can use it on...

My roommate and I got pretty close to the distances in the Ganon/Yoshi runs shown, but we lack the patience to work up that Ganon/Ice Climbers routine, lol.

Some real life ones: You know you've played too much brawl when your roommate pulls into the driveway with his PT Cruiser you shout "LANDMASTER!" You know you've played too much brawl when, stumped on a pharmaceutics write in short answer question on your final, you simply write (as a mini...

lol. I think Wario (new costume) probably would smell more of oil and mechanical grease given he has to constantly fix that motorcycle of his after it blows up. Oil and fuel trumps farts, imo.

Honestly I'd have to rank myself as casual. I'd love to step up to the competitive level, although there are no tournaments in my area : (

That video might be more convincing if he actually hit that stationary Fox with the supposed technique. But more technical people than myself have already called this bogus above, so I'll take in your wisdom. This would be awesome if it worked, though.

I hadn't actually noticed that the reach was shortened. I still don't notice it actually. If it is decreased it's probably because of people like me who spammed the joker back in melee. Of course, like anyone who spams I've received my fair share of punishment... I like the lag decrease...

I've hurt some feelings with the melee boomerang. Just throwing that out there.

I'll admit that when I first picked up Link in Brawl I also felt that he was a bit slower. Now that I've played him much more I think he's about the same as melee, maybe even faster. I think what gives him the appearance of being slow is his running animation. It might just be me, but he just...

I beat this with Lucas after watching those youtube videos of someone else doing it with him. It took several several tries for me to learn the boss patterns, and then after that it took about 10 runs against tabuu to get the spot dodge timing down. After that, the trophy was mine! My chief...

I used a hammer on that one, but I didn't realize there was no notice for completing it with each character, so now I feel a little more justified, lol.

Maybe I just haven't gotten hang of the gameplay changes in Brawl, but I've also noticed the increase in difficulty of higher level CPU players in Brawl modes. I can remember working myself up to taking on a team of level 9's back in Melee. Took some time, but after a while it really wasn't that...
