Smash 4 is a lot of fun guys, take it easy :) There will be plenty of time to figure out how competitively viable it is in the months after release. Most of the people in this thread have never played the full game at all, and even if they had it takes time for the metagame to settle.

Lack of online in Smash Run is almost certainly either a result of technical issues, or shifting priorities to get the game released. Obviously if they could just press a button and make it happen they would have done that. Personally I would not have wanted them to delay the game even a little...

I've KOed CPUs below 100% countless times in the demo with ordinary smash attacks, though I don't know if they do any DI. You do need to know what your KO moves are though and save them for the end to avoid the repeat penalty.

It utterly blows my mind that there are people who think Luigi is a clone. He is a 100% original character with a couple homages to Mario by design (for obvious reasons). You can make an argument for characters like Falco, Ganondorf and Toon Link being clones, but they all have quite a few...

Are you guys for real? "Secret unlock so hard to get that nobody can verify it" is the oldest trick in the book, don't be so gullible.

Halo 3, and any other game for that matter, lags just as much as Brawl. The difference is that you can't tell because it uses prediction algorithms to cover it up. That's why it lets you perform actions with no delay before the server can verify them. With Brawl that's not an option, the...

Mario Kart Wii definitely has far better online features than Brawl. The real problem with Brawl's online is the lag though, and it's a no-brainer that a racing game is going to play better online than a fighter.

Obviously it was fake...

I don't believe for a second that Nintendo can fix the lag. Slight improvements, maybe.

It's random. Unless you were on ice or Tingle just threw out bananas or something.

I realize the third guy is there to record the match, but he can't be helping the lag... Him being dead doesn't change the fact that it's 3 players instead of 2.

What Sakurai said was that they were aware of it. He was probably just talking about the ability to airdodge into the ground, not actually use that for combat. More importantly, he did not say that it was intentional. In other words, it's a glitch they just didn't think was important enough to...

Tripping is indeed random, but he's arguing that the randomness of it its influenced by your percentage. It's really easy to test, so someone should probably give it a shot. Just put two Marios on one wavebird, set one to 999% and dash back and forth. Sucks for Lucario if it's true, lol.

Yeah, bandwidth means almost nothing to online games. There just isn't that much information to transfer. It's all about the latency. Also, you're wrong about this too. The whole problem is that Brawl does not do anything like this. There's no prediction or lag compensation - if it isn't...

It's an extremely easy and cheap controller mod that fixes a very annoying problem with the Gamecube controls. I don't see much reason to ban it. I did it to mine and it's a big improvement. The trigger springs are nothing but a handicap in Brawl.
