Am I the only person who doesn't want CDs to return?

I mean really, I hated how unlocking music was handled in Brawl. Random CDs, who appear sooo rarely, and then immediately start to disappear. And if the PC picked it up, you didn't even get the song! >_> What happened is that basically, we all made CD Factories in stage builder and started grinding... Urgh! Opinions?

I hated the trophy bases more in Brawl's SSE. having to farm them and hope they appeared in the stage you needed them then having to get the enemy to 1% health without killing it then re-pick the trophy base and hope you hit the enemy before it dies. Was so annoying and difficult to do.

I have to agree with the CDs. I think I ended up grinding them in the stage builder as well.

I'm on the fence about it, on one hand I would prefer to have the entire library from the get-go, but on the other I do enjoy unlocking things slowly over time that don't heavily affect gameplay (though trophies kind of fill this purpose).

I think CD's are such an asinine way of unlocking things. If they're gone then they will not be missed at all.

Music should either be immediately available or unlocked through challenges; but yeah, I wasn't a fan of collectibles appearing in multiplayer matches before so I hope that's revised.

I liked 'em, but that's because most of my early play was either item 1v1 with my brother or item FFA/Teams with friends, so we didn't have to worry about it. We also had an agreement that if a CD or sticker appeared, the fight was on hold until it was picked up.

But I'd also be fine with them not appearing. We've got Customizations to grab instead now.

I don't mind them. I think it's a neat way to get new tracks for the game, though it hurts when you're in the middle of battle and don't notice the CD until a second too late.

I would enjoy being able to unlock music in some way but yeah, something better than CDs please.

I loved seeing a CD appear (because I'm so good at claiming items), but I would much rather CDs be collected via challenges such as through Events.

CD Factories didn't take long for me, I had to re-buy brawl for the Wii U since I sold everything when I moved east (No I am not ponying up for melee and a gamecube. Not gonna do it) - for some people, passive acquisition is fine!

I HATED CDs in Brawl. The idea of having to unlock music is just stupid. They were stupidly hard to collect and they were pretty rare too. When a CD finally appears, you only have about 3 seconds to collect the damn thing or else it disappears. They were so annoying to collect that I had to make a CD factory and hold the A button with Bowser for like an hour just to collect them all.

Oh, they were TERRIBLE!! I get the thought of unlocking things, so all of the CDs you could get from the 'challenges' screen or item boxes in SSE were fine, but when they ended up on screen during matches and then disappeared before you could do anything was beyond irritating. Especially since CPUs didn't follow the 'nobody do anything when a CD shows up so we can get it' rule.

I hope that, if we have to have CDs, they act like stickers and actually bother to hang around a while before disappearing.

I wouldn't object to them coming back as long as the duration they stay on the stage is lengthened. I had several times where I'd miss a CD because I had just been sent flying by a computer/friend who didn't care about collectables and couldn't recover to the stage before it disappeared.
