A couple days ago, I was playing a team match. We were double ROBs, they were Fox and Pikachu. The stage was Yoshi's Island. We had just won three matches in a row against them. One of our opponents, who hated fighting ROB (hence our team combo), kept insisting on rematches. On the first...

You should retitle it "The Future of Brawl" :-\ It was really good though.

Yup. In a situation like that, Bowser will klaw Snake out of his recovery, hit the cypher, and release snake without doing any damage. Because you're only grabbing Snake but not actually damaging him, he can't use his cypher again unless he blows himself up. Good times.

To answer the OP's question, it depends on the context. In a tourney match or something similarly serious, or a match in which both players are playing to improve and practice, there is no problem with spamming/camping. That is how Olimar is played at his most effective and it would make no...

I do see what you're saying about empty promises, Bento, but try looking at it in a different light. First of all, Nintendo is never going to be dumb enough to straight up abandon the hardcore gaming audience. That is still an important part of the market that they don't want to totally lose...

Auroreon makes some good points. Another thing that you all really need to remember is that Nintendo is a much smaller company than Sony or Microsoft. Nintendo knew perfectly well that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to compete with these two companies for the hardcore...

There were some impressive combos in there. I liked the dair spikes onto bananas and the combo on Fox after the thumbs up cinematic clip. Couple issues I had though: 1) the opponents you faced did not seem very good, especially in the clips that were supposed to showcase their skills and 2)...

Bowser mains get to join the party too, because from almost any point on any stage, it's still easily a 0-death combo. Functionally, that is exactly the same thing as an infinite. As far as I can see, the only real argument for not banning this technique is "don't get grabbed." This...

Undoubtedly there are plenty of bad matchups in Brawl - the majority of characters have a terrible one against MK alone. My question, though, is which matchups are truly the most God-awful in the game? As far as I know, there aren't any Shiek vs Bowsers in Brawl *shudder*, but there are DDD vs...

Trust me, if MK's Dair was a spike we wouldn't have to discuss whose dair is best. Actually, we probably would because MK would have been banned a long time ago.

Jigglypuff rolls... ...could it be Jiggs? Though Sonic makes sense, I thought of Jiggly first and let's face it: using the song Rollin' as a hint for Jigglypuff is way more hilarious than using it as a hint for Sonic. Sonic makes a lot of sense too though, can't deny it.

Interesting idea for sure, but I still think that he should spend most of the time with his feet on the ground. I don't think Ganon should really be at all floaty, but rather have the ability to float like Peach. And while having a solid, heavy character able to float like Peach would be cool...

10 Steps to Making Ganondorf Amazing *1: Let Gdorf float, kind of like Peach. I'd explain why this would be so sick, but I don't think it's really necessary. *2: Gdorf should use his sword, but I don't think anyone wants him to be just another heavy sword user (Ike is enough). Here's an...

Obviously it depends on the character. I've given it the most thought as Bowser (though I don't really main anyone) and with Bowser I almost always go for Smashville, and probably would even if I didn't usually stick to relatively neutral stages. Smashville is great for Bowser - its small size...

How could this not be the ICs? I've been a little bit out of touch lately, but as far as I know they aren't exactly ruling the tournament seem. At the same time, their infinite CG scares the hell out of me, even if not many people have really mastered it. IC's CG = "tricks galore" and...
