Brawl: A True Spectator Sport

[jamesss]

This is definetly an awesome idea, the more options the better. besides a little gambling with some drunken friends is always enjoyable

 

[SonicLuigi]

im just wondering why this weeks updates sucked eggs....maybe they're saving good ones for next week??? hopefully....cuz im always looking forward to looking at a great update, but hopes shattered when they SUCK

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Hey what's that sticker on the far right? It looks like...

Compare and contrast. Right now.

You know, I do see a resemblance between that sticker and Silver. Too bad that sticker is too small.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

no........i think......it's diffrent abit

 

[2007]

the update was cool, but Sakurai has an issue that's been getting to me lately. He seems really, really fond of n00bs and nubz, even to the point where seeing this quote would not be surprising:
"Let them [n00bs] win! we all want an equal chance of winning now, don't we?"
Anyway, this was actually a fun update after looking at it twice, bonus points for that Sakurai, but a few docked for the fondness of nubz.
=2007=

 

[JPW]

sounds awesome about Spectator mode be awesome to watch after a day of Brawling.

And I actually want stickers lol, so i'll take part, and Nintendo seems like they'll be updating their stickers.

But it's also going to be cool for betting and comps around the family and such.

It would beat the Poker nights.....

Ah actually let's not go crazy, but we should get more than stickers I reckon maybe a character when you win like $1000, from just pure betting.

 

[blayde_axel]

No, it's silver. There was a picture floating around here that's the same exact one.

But, I actually like this update. Not exactly what I thought they'd implement betting in, but it's actually pretty cool. This will be a general way of making a Tier list, and it'll be great to just watch battles when you don't feel like playing (like that'll happen).

 

[Drake3]

It sounded so great when I saw it, and then I realised they stupefied it. I enjoy watching certain matches, like some of the ones we have from Brawl, but the way they have it seems pointless. If people were at least allowed to vote on certain matches we could narrow down the good ones from the bad.

 

[Tobi-]

Because more people are noobs then pros. Duh.

Alot of people have never played smash before, or casual, and these are the main buyers. Competitve players in melee was only about 10%. Now who makes a game for only 10% or basically, the minority?

This is a huge game. It want everyone to have fun. He doesnt want to see pros dominate newcomers everytime they play a match online

 

[Rockin]

three words: Money Match Online

 

[ripman3]

I like the way guild wars does its spectator matches because they allow you to watch the really important matches going on that...you might actually care about and want to see. If it's completely random then idk why i would ever use it.

 

[bob-e]

This would be a nice if you could add Wii numbers, then get a list of all the Wiis that have a game playing. That way you could actually tune into pro matches, but the idea of random = fun screwed up another potentially cool feature.

 

[oxyborb]

it'll be slightly useful for noobs o they can learn what people do to win

the end

 

[The Hypnotist]

We don't even get to pick the stage wo watch the match. You guys realize we'll be watching boring matches WITH ITEMS!

 

[Talendime]

I love items...

And I think this update was actually.. alright.. ahah.. I was really hoping for a character today though.

I think I'll use Spectator mode a lot, to be honest..


On a side note, why does Mic always come up with the gayest names for threads?

 

[The Hypnotist]

Why would you want to bet if there's no skill in placing the bet. You can't pick the level, you don't know who's fighting, and there will most likely be items!

 

[Rodriguezjr]

Alright! Gambling is confirmed!

 

[Tonic_Sonic]

Why is Las Vegas so successful? STFU and enjoy the feature sakurai is giving us.

 

[Mr.Victory07]

This update was good, and definitaly outshined the rest of the week. The only bad thing about this mode is that you dont get to see the names of the players.

 

[Jammer]

I will finally have a decent screensaver for my TV.

It's quite a bit better even than watching the bright colors and loud sounds on the infomercials.

 

[ChaoticTH]

I find it amusing that the end of the worst week ever has nothing to do with playing smash bros.

Are you ignorant? If anthing, the "Worst Week" would have to be the week of the Smoke Ball. This week could be like, after it, in terms of quality.

 

[Shiny Ivysaur]

They removed names so that you aren't watching P*n*s and T*tt* team fight against c*nt and c*ck.
Without the asterisks, naturally.

 

[saud]

You know, I do see a resemblance between that sticker and Silver. Too bad that sticker is too small.

It's definitely Silver. Just save the picture and zoom in. You'll notice that that character has the same boots, has a shade of light blue on his hands, and has the black shadowy thing on his spikes.

It is Silver.

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

I agree...True smashers fight with items and who cares about who the ppl are...as long as yur seeing some serious strategy in it I would say stop bitc#ing, place a bet, and u better pray that the person u betted on doesnt get beaten by a 5 yr-old girl

I'd pay money to see that.

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

I'd pay money to see that.

I KNO RIGHT?! LOLOLOLOLOL XDDD

 

[Red&Silver]

this update sucked more then meta knights in my opinion
i mean why would i watch someone else play when i can be playing the game myself

apparently ur not a gambling man Mr. Red & Silver...

 

[Burning Lava]

Yeah, I guess it's a cool addition... I know some people really wanted it, so I'm glad it's in for them. I'll probably make some good use of it too actually. Not terribly exciting, but if the replay value wasn't already through the roof, this will help. I used to watch a computer match every once in a while, so this will top that by far. We can also use it as another thing to list when bragging about how much more awesome Smash is than Halo... (Yeah, I went there, but I'm just joking around, don't be lame and get offended.)

 

[Le0n]

Are we watching recorded matches on wii-fi? Or can we pick a match that is about start and watch it...

 

[Red&Silver]

apparently ur not a gambling man Mr. Red & Silver...

you got that right (aww 2 weeks with no new characterwell better luck next week)

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

I find it understandable (^^)v...considering u miight have the worst luck when picking the winning character on a fight .. *grabs smash coin and rolls it around the fingers*

 

[Terywj [태리]]

i guess spectating is pretty cool...though i didn't see this kind of an update coming...

 

[Super_alex2]

Where's Olimar!?

Still on the Pikmin planet. He'll be back soon

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

I'm still waiting on Zelda's/Ice Climbers' special moves before a new character.

 

[Chidosengan]

Haha! No Olimar 4 U.

Well, at least this is a cool feature. Definitely tops everything else that was shown this week.

P.E. How the hell did I get "Genitalia" trying to spellcheck "Definitely"?

 

[Chidosengan]

Where's Olimar!?

I'll tell you where his not, in Brawl! Badum - Pish!

Sorry for double post. Couldn't help it.

 

[SolidSonic]

Thats a great feature, but it seems pointless to not include name tags...

Without mics and name tags, it just seems like your watching computers fight.

Nintendo is clueless when it comes to these sort of things.

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

Gambling!! lol.

Luv this. I bet that I will get some money from my friends by betting with this mode. Awesome.

 

[ChaoticTH]

you got that right (aww 2 weeks with no new characterwell better luck next week)

You ignoramus.

If we keep getting characters every 2-3 weeks, he'll have to start revealing unlockables.

You WANT to be surprised, don't you?
