double period?

PERIOD SQUARED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

See, SSBM could have been the best game ever for me - almost everything about the game is awesome. But there aren't any good smashers near me, so I rarely have a human opponent (only possible opponent I have is my younger brother, who usually doesn't want to play :\).
With SSBB's online multiplayer, I'll finally have human opponents, making it possibly the best game ever.
Exactly, EXACTLY my situation. If i was patient enough to have written y i cant b dissipointed by brawl regardless of any lack of content (asumeing the game play was not f'd up) this is what i would have writtenenenenennen...

anyways, i think that brawl will be good.....


im predicting that its battle system will be not as epic as the Melee one(including exploits,physics and advanced techs), but the extra options in the form of online multiplayer games and the tons of other features... will make brawl more enjoyable overall.

Im hope im wrong about the gameplay... but lets face it..... it doenst matter if sakurai did it in purpouse or not... Melee was a beast.

Im just crossing fingers now.

And stop spectating if we will have more exploits. Sakurai himself said there are exploits. And have any of you played the f***ing game, because I know only a few people played the demo, and that will be unlike the real game. We already have all but like three techs back, and AT LEAST 5 new ones. That's more exploits then Melee so far from a demo. When we actually play the game, I can guarentee we'll find AT LEAST TWELVE MORE! Yes, I guarentee it. No need to talk like elitist-know it alls, now is there, when none of you have played the actual f***ing game. It will rock, as it's been worked on 4 months longer then Melee, and with at least 3 times the manpower. This is one of those few games that appeal to all of us! :)

It's a new game from the creator of The Sims.. It's been a while since I've been looking into it but I remember it being about creating organisms and planets and stuff.

Yeah... You can search for yourself if you're interested.

(OT: It's coming out soon? Wow. I remember when it was first announced.)

Anyways, I stand behind saying it will disappoint. Maybe not in too much, but at least a little bit.

The way adventure mode works will make or break the game for me.

So far it looks great.

SSBB will be something of legend.

Perfect? Doubtful. Like PitforREV said there's so many things I would've added, but Brawl is already jam-packed with AAAmazing things that would keep me occupied for years to come.

I predict massive disappointment with the roster, but then again with hopefuls fighting and bickering, it's bound to disappoint someone.

If it's anywhere as good as Melee, I will hype it among my college to hell and back, and let the world know that Brawl is here--it's time to D-D-D-DUEL!

Oh, and 1000 posts for me! WHOO HOO!

ah ok... ill search for it, i like the sims a little... but well to say that it will be better than the action packed brawl.. well...

mmmm i think like you, the expectations for brawl are practicallly sky high.... nothing better than melee will do...and i think that unavoidable there will be some aspects in which melee will be better. Maybe it will dissapoint a little.... lets just think that our dissapointment will be at the beggining because of the differences... but later on we willl get the hang of it....

Off-Topic- March.

On- Topic- Brawl will almost definitely live up to expectations. Except for those who believe Geno is in.

People who played it at E for All said it was great.

I don't see how it can possibly fail.
alot of them said the gameplay was different though like everyone said that it was A LOT slower than melee
to me that makes it sound like it will suck
and i don't even know any of the advanced techniques like wavedashing and l-cancelling
well i know them but i can't actually do them and plus i rarely ever fight a human opponent where it would actually be effective

Well, for me at least, Melee lived up to the hype. So, although it will be incredibly difficult for Brawl, I think it's possible.

Brawl did blow up my expectations a long time ago...It's just too awsome.
The new characters are all really awsome, the stages are pretty cool, Subspace emissary 4-stocked my brain, things like the Coin-Launcher are very neat and the details are AMAZING!!
It's really sad that the europeans and other Pal regions will get it much later.
(again sorry for any typos or wrong grammer or whatsoever...new year--> I'm German-->I'm drunk-->very....Funny??? posts?? ^^' )

It will only fail character-wise in the sense that some characters that are very popular won't be playable. IE: Ness, Samurai Goroh, Waluigi, and Little Mac. But other then that-it won't disappoint. Who cares though, we're getting a big roster, so that's all that matters. It will only fail in that aspect, and elsewhere it will MORE THEN succeed. We'll all get characters we want in the game, and some won't make it, but that isn't a big of a deal. We're getting over 40 characters, and character roster size is the biggest reason for the delay (so says the President of Nintendo).

(not aimed at who I'm quoting, just generalizing) This isn't Melee 1.5 (you don't even want Melee 2.0, you just want everything "the same") like you a ton of you want, it's a new f***ing game. Wait until you people play it, and then talk. And how will it fail to begin with=??? It is going to sell at least 8 to 10 million units, guarenteed. It's got more s*** in it then any other game in history. MORE MUSIC, MORE STAGES, MORE PLAYABLE (balanced) CHARACTERS, MORE FEATURES, MORE TECHNIQUES! We found OVER 6 at new techniques E for All, we already have more then Melee, and we're going to get A LOT MORE! Until we get the game, this is just pointless n00by speculation, PERIOD! We can't complain about what we haven't played.

The roster will disappoint many, including myself because my expectations are high, yet the gameplay will make up for it. In other words, everything but the roster will live up to the hype.
IMO the roster has already lived up to the hype, and any new characters that get revealed are bonus!

I do expect the whole "Krystal, Geno, Ridley" thing in respect to Sakurai's poll. (Not because I personally care about them.)

Not to flame or start any kind of argument, but where exactly have you read that we're getting over 40 characters? I like to think we are, but we can't be sure without concrete evidence.

There will always be some people dissappointed, but I think most everyone will be happy and love the game. No doubt it will last me years of playtime like melee.

Of course it will be amazing, my expectations though? Well, actually, I actually have zero expectations for Brawl. Every one of them have been fulfilled already XD. I don't even care if we have only the 23 characters confirmed is the final roster! Ever since they added Online, Stage Builder, Story Mode(A.K.A. Subspace Emissary. Seriously, I've always wanted a story with worlds colliding.), and don't forget, Sonic! I have to say, the only update I would a bit of a quarter of the way expect is a Mii. That would probably be the best move for Brawl to give it as much awesomeness as possible, although this may not happen, so my hopes are the farthest thing away from high. This game rocks already. I don't know how people could expect so much more when the game is possibly the best already.

Um...I guess it would be a disappointment if there were a small amount of characers, I would expect somewhere from 36-42.

No, it won't. There will be outrages on all forums because "X ISN'T IN, AND X IS! NOW I'M NOT GOING TO BUY THE GAME *SOB*". Other than that, I don't know. I think we'll be playing this for a long time again, like Melee.
Well I wont be going crazy over **** like that.

Because so far everyone I want has made it.

I be a bit diasappointed if Ridley, Isaac or even Krystal ended up as assist trophies or if Marth got cut. But I could still live with it and move on.

I got Sonic, I got King Dedede, I got Pit, I got Metaknight, I got Snake I got MArio, Link and so forth. And Capatain Falcon will return. He's probably just gone secret again that's all.

Also Stage Builder, Wi-fi, SSE, Trophies, Multiplayer Mayhem, Co-op modes, Event Matches, My Music, In depth Tournament modes, etc, etc, what is there to be disappointed about?

I know BRawl will live up to expectations, the fact that I still have to wait after Feb 10th is what's klling me the most. Hopefully getting Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn could ease my pain.

Iono nowadays it seems like Sakurai has gone all out with everything besides the core.

The actual characters.
Alot of characters got nerfed and some even got removed (WHY NESS WHY!!!!!)

But for me I dont really care as long as Sakurai delivers a character I can love and a grow with. Then will I believe that Brawl has completley fullfilled all my Nintendo needs for this generation.

In response to Rominati, I still have minor hope for Ness (at least with a new moveset).

If he doesn't have a new moveset, I'm afraid that he will have probably been cut.

even if the subspace is awful, online sucks, and nothing else goes right (which wont be the case), we know for sure brawl will be a game with new characters, stages, items, and graphics to make ssb brand new all over again. thats the main draw of this game, and thats the reason brawl cannot fail. this game is going to be awesome anyway you slice it.

I'm expecting an alternate SSBM.
Same basic idea, but with many small details changed. The whole style of fighting will be Smash Bros-style, but unlike Melee's - wavedashing/shffling will no longer be as important as it was in SSBM (in fact, wavedashing was taken out. Not sure about shffling).
So, we'll just have to get used to it some and we'll have a different Melee, with some additions - more characters, more stages....but most importantly, online multiplayer.

You could not be more wrong. I can see that you know nothing about Super smash Brothers, and especially Brawl. Melee was done on a short notice first off, it was good, but it could have been much better. Sakurai saw this and thats what he wanted to do in Brawl, the production also took much longer. He addressed any problems in Melee, and he didn't even fully take out wavedashing, he replaced, and I don't know about you, but I would rather have something like wavdashing then nothing. They have online, and that alone separates it from Melee with a pretty big gap in the middle. They added 3rd party characters (which isn't that much but it still is new), they made a stage builder. They added tons of new characters, and stages. They replaced some Melee stuff (Lottery-Coin Launcher), and added totally new features (stickers). Melee also only had an adventure that lasted about 20 minutes, while the new Subspace Emissary lasts 10 hours. Sure go ahead and say Brawl is just like Melee, a tweaked Melee you could say, but it isn't , it is a much better game, and your missing out if you think Melee is just as good and you don't need to bother buying Brawl. Brawl is good enough to live up to it's up, but whether it does isn't my choice. But still saying Brawl IS melee is one of the most groundless opinion Iv'e ever heard.
