    Interesting 'Facts' 3.0 AKA: Zook's Misinformation Scheme

    Indeed, a similar concept can be seen in the "Mad Space" treasure hunt level in Sonic Adventure 2, for the Dreamcast and Gamecube. It consists of 3 rounded planetoids that each have their own gravity, and your character has the ability to glide between them.

    The EVO-ruleset (continued...)

    I'm with Yuna and Aether on this issue, among others who agree that EVO's thoughts on items are ridiculous. The chess analogies seriously don't work, guys. The only analogy I could think of between item Smash and chess is this, which I call "Chess with Items". Imagine that every turn, before...

    Brawl - More balanced than Melee? Lie or truth?

    I also haven't read the past 32 pages, but one way in which Brawl seems to be far more balanced than Melee is that slower, heavier characters can match up evenly against lighter or faster characters. Melee's best characters were all fast and light or medium-weight characters (Fox, Falco, Sheik...

    Anybody here sort of "Casually Competitive"?

    Yeah. I enjoy playing free-for-alls, but also like being skilled at one-on-one matches with three stock.

    Dispute Ended: New Sakurai intervew - Wavedashing was intentional

    The more likely story is that in the long period of bug testing, someone tried to shorthop-airdodge as quickly as possible and slid one way or the other. Sakurai and his team of developers most likely made little of it besides "Oh, interesting! If you directional airdodge as your character's...

    I tripped 6 times in the span of one minute. Random? I call bullcrap.

    If anything, wouldn't this show that tripping IS random? For each of the six trips in that match, I bet there's an entire match you overlook where no one tripped. Try doing the same thing, with the same characters and stages, a few more times. If trips happen 100% of the time under those given...

    Brawl Video Please comment

    Hey, fellow "Smash n00b"! There is a Misc. Videos board further down for the express purpose of posting videos. Posting this there might get more responses. :) With that being said, you seem to be on about the right track with your Fox. There are times when I feel like you could have dashed...

    Do stickers work OUTSIDE emissary mode?

    My theory on how items became such a hot topic.

    I don't mean to be mean or patronizing, and may be wrong, but I hear that the item debate already happened for Melee - in 2004 or 2005. Is it true that around that time, the community basically settled on No Items because items added randomness and could take the win away far more easily from...

    Dreamland Piano Improvisation

    Hey, great work with the song! It isn't in the right key (you're playing A minor, the actual theme is C minor) but otherwise sounds great and enjoyable.

    After playing Brawl from dusk til dawn..

    Hey, I don't think the sardonism is necessary. It's an important observation to remember that this really isn't a repainted Melee. Ike & Olimar, hm? I'll try them out with everyone else, but they seem to have some degree of success already so, interesting.

    Smashballs - much deeper than people think

    I'm with Wyvern on this. Well, well said. I'm basically against Smash Balls in tournaments for two reasons: 1) They promote turtling and camping. In a tournament atmosphere, characters could score enough percent to make their Final Smash lethal, then shield/camp/run until it appears. From...

    So I am new to smash, which controller?

    I'm interested to try the Classic controller the most myself. Its four face buttons are all very accessible, and the whole pad is about the same size as the front face of a Gamecube controller. It should be tighter to control and easier to use. If you just have a Wii and Brawl, though, try...

    Meteor Canceling in Brawl?

    I was reminded by today's Dojo updates about "Meteor Smashes", and about how their victims could cancel them by using a quick Up-B or similar move. Can anyone who currently owns Brawl confirm for me whether or not Meteor canceling still exists - or have all downward trajectories now become...
