I may be in the minority here as usual, but I actually like the idea that they're bucking the trend with brawl. I mean, we can't see into the future; we have on idea whether this might start a new trend. I mean, a lot of people complain that sequels are very similar to their predecessors. This...

You know, maybe it would be easier for someone to just give the guy an answer instead of just insulting them with sarcastic answers?

This is the exact reason why sites like MetaCritic and GameRankings are good. They give you the overall picture of how the reviewers feel and it mostly filters out the lower reviews. I tend to use Metacritic a lot nowadays. Then again, I usually trust IGN ratings unless they're talking about...

With the advent of Wifi in brawl, you're going to get new people in. To turn around and say 'You can't be here because you don't use ATecs' is counter productive. Do you really want to force people to do it your way? With a new game comes new ideas, and changes. To stay exactly the same could be...

From what I can see, it looks like there's going to be more people interested in smash than ever before; which I think is brilliant. However, it looks like there's going to be a split depending on the way you play it. There's the people who look for Advanced Techniques, (Who I will henceforth...

Because slower characters have heavy characteristics which can counter the speed thing. But in the past, heavy characters always got the short end of the stick. As for 'advanced techniques', I say good riddence. I never liked them in the first place; all I wanted was to get good at the game...

Heh, and people were saying that the market for games like this on Wii was shrinking. I guess the results speak for themselves :)

Metaknight's FS isn't sad if you're playing with 4 characters. Then it becomes abnormally powerful, because your blast area gets bigger. It's just not a very good 1 VS 1 FS.

Far eclipsed? Not really. There's only been a few games that have been aimed at that audience group by Nintendo. To suddenly turn around and say 'Looks like we're being abandoned' is silly, especially when lots of Nintendo franchises are still up and running; if we were being abandoned they...

Epsilon's right, otherwise we wouldn't have had the Final Fantasy games on GC, Wiiware and DS. Thats one thing I will commend SE for; they're very good at not being partisan about consoles. The Rare and Ninty argument though... that was silly. But when a 2nd-party company gets bought out by your...

Curse you Wee Bull! You win this time! :D On a different note, Nintendo has been a game developer for years now; why would they suddenly stop catering for the part of the game playing population that buys the most games? If it were true, there would be no more Smash Bros. And there's nothing...

*sighs* I guess I was deluding myself to think that there wouldn't be things like this in Brawl. Oh well, at least it'd be easier to counter this one than the melee stuff.

I don't think the rumour is true, for a very good reason. Would Square-Enix REALLY pass up the oppertunity to get more publicity and money from having Geno in there? I don't think so. The guy above me also has a very good point too. I think this is just another instance of the Rumour train...

You know, the only thing that's actually keeping people from believing this is just dissapointments of Nintendo Wifi from the past. Almost every post here is presuming that Nintendo does X; well that doesn't mean it's going to keep on doing X. The skepticism here is almost sufficating. I mean...

I've spent my whole life playing without L-Canceling, and I never thought it sucked. Too much hyperbole mister :F Besides, as far as I'm concerned the lack of it will let me focus on actually learning to get good at the actual fighting :D
