I was sorta a sucker and kept hoping for some disaster control in eps 2 and 3. I guess ep 3 shouldn't have been a surprise with the same ******* playing Anakin...

i think it'd be more interesting to talk about non-sequel movies, because sequels tend to 'disappoint' 80% of the time
hmm, that's a grood point. So with all the Napoleon Dynamite hype, suffice to say I was not pleased with the urge to vomit at how godawful the movie was.

Smash Legend
i thought it was awful too, but i wasn't 'disappointed' by the time i got around to seeing it, since the only reason i had put off watching it for so long to begin with was that it never actually seemed good
i was severely underwhelmed by donnie darko (especially given all the love you hear about it from college kids everywhere)

War of the Worlds was supposed to be another Minority Report and wasn't. Flags of our Fathers was supposed to be another Saving Private Ryan and definitely wasn't. Miami Vice was supposed to be amazing (Heat style) but wasn't. Unforgiven was supposed to be the best western and most definitely wasn't even close.
And now I hate all those movies because they didn't come close to the hype or quality they should have been based on the people who made them. Not only that, but by themselves without expectations they sucked ****.

I mean the appeal to the movie was basically building up to the dancing at the end. However, when he was on the bus and the farmer guy shoots the cow and all the kids scream, I was laughing pretty hard. However, the movie was godawful.
To Pocky: its much more rare to be disappointed with movies that don't have a previous version, because you have nothing to base your expectations off of other than actors and directors and stuff.
But based on non sequels I would say that I was disappointed with most of Will Ferrel's stuff after like Anchorman and Old School.
EDIT: I was also not impressed with Donnie Darko. It just wasn't that entertaining.

It's been a long time since I saw Unforgiven, but I remember being really happy with it.
I was very disappointed with 2001 given it's acclaim and frankly didn't like FMJ very much either. I mean, I guess I wouldn't put FMJ up there cause the first half worked for me, but the 2nd half of the movie did nothing for me.

Omg Mogwai that's exactly how I feel about FMJ. It just got terrible after the first half. But I don't think I can consider it disappointing because I had zero expectations of it to begin with.
burn after reading really disappointed me. I expect more from the Cohen Brothers, especially with a cast that I really like aside from George Clooney.

No, he's not. I guess it's easy to think that when you isolate the strongest attributes of a character and act like they're totally perfect in every way.
If you think his usmash is "unpunishable," I don't know what to tell you. It's safe on block when spaced correctly. I don't know if that's what you were talking about, but that's... a bit of a stretch.
EDIT: Also, you don't need a shine to pressure shields.

I like hyperbole. And yes, I was talking about usmashing people's shields and having them be incapable of punishing because your move is so god**** stupid.
EDIT: It sure helps

w/e Dave, I don't need your approval 
I just think Fox is stupid. I've been playing the game long enough at a high enough level that just people talking to me about stuff isn't going to change my old stubborn opinion.
Honestly, I like playing against Foxes with Flaco (or DK/M2 if they suck), but that's not going to change my opinion that he's a stupid stupid character that should've been nerfed at least a little in R&D.

part of the reason why PAL is a better game

topic of disappointing movies?
let's just say iron man
god no one could act in the last half of that movie

based on what I know of PAL, I don't see how Falco could not be the best character in that game. He got the short end of the top-tier-nerf-stick.

Smash Legend
i don't believe peach got any nerf at all, whereas the nerfs on fox/marth/sheik alter their matchup with her a lot, and she already does decently vs falco
not saying she's better, but it's a possibility (i obviously have next to zero actual experience playing PAL)

Falco just got the ending frames of his Dair demoted to a meteor, right?
pockyD
Smash Legend
they were demoted to having a different angle altogether (not a spikish one either)
orly? how so? actually, is there a nice convenient thread with all the differences listed?
shminkledorf
Smash Ace
falco's spike is like marths spike when it doesn't sweetspot in pal, just kinda sends them to the side
pockyD
Smash Legend
is the sweetspot changed at all? Cause Falco's sweetspot on the dair is pretty forgiving.
pockyD
Smash Legend
i know as much/little as you do, which is to say, i pretty much know what is ever posted in 'differences' lists
ryoko would know

jeez, they took out the Wes/MikeNasty too, Samus is now 0 fun.
PAL failed to address the major problem with NTSC, which is that the top tier characters are totally ridiculous compared to the rest of the cast.
That said, they nerfed the one thing that needed to be nerfed above all else. I am of course referring to Yoshi's dair.

yea, thank god, that move is a menace.
p.s. seems like they at least closed the gap between top tier and high tier. balancing the rest is really really hard.

it was certainly a step in the right direction though, in terms of intent at least (removing sheik's dthrow CG in particular stands out)
and remember that PAL wasn't released like 3 years into the tournament life of the game; it was something like half a year... based on the limited amount of 'blatant' brokenness at that point, i think they did a fantastic job of anticipating things that needed tweaking
Chum
Smash Apprentice
I think I might actually go to MM, anyone want to play before hand/maybe team?
I completely agree. I was actually going to call attention to Sheik's dthrow in particular (holy **** it's so stupid) but I forgot because I was too busy making fun of the fact that they nerfed Yoshi's dair.
P. O. F.
Smash Ace
I'll play tomorrow if you want. However, I'm not going to MM.
Work and making $700 on the weekend and stuff.Do you have my number?
I'm kind of sad that I won't be going to any tournaments this summer. I'm trying to start saving up so I can move out of my house.
I still <3 to play though. Get at me.
