5. Play SSE.
With number four why don't you sleep with the window open then get a cold and stay home or fake your way out


My new plan is as follows

1. Wake up eat some breakfast
2.Beg my dad to take me to my EB games at the mall
3. Rampage to the store
4.Buy it (if theres a line then talk to fellow smashers. I have it preordered so I will get it.)
5. Read the instruction manuel on the way home
6.race to my room with a phone have the tv turned on,have the wii turned on with the menu up, have fresh wii mote batteries,have Gamecube controller plugged in.
7. Call me friends
8. Cry as I watch the best opening cinematic to any game then wipe my eyes.
9.classic mode
10.Vrs mode
11.SSE
12.Earn as much stuff as possible

And that is my plan for February tenth.

The 3 Fold P Plan:

Step one: Punch someone in the face.
No in particular, just someone. I've had the urge to do so lately and, well, I figure it's going to come to a head on the 25th of January or 10th of February

Step two: Pick up Brawl
Includes driving to Gamestop, picking up game, opening game, driving home, and putting game in system.

Step three: Play Brawl
Includes selecting the game's channel, selecting start, going through menu screens, and starting SSE.

among the figments of your imagination
I'm doing the midnight launch party thing with a whole bunch of friends. I'll probably be doing carpool to gamestop as well since I'm one of two who can drive, once we all have our copies of Brawl we'll probably go to someone's house where there will be a few TVs and Wiis wet up and proceed to do whatever we wanted in Brawl for a very long time, all the wile expressing all varieties of happiness.

Well I really am hoping that my K-Mart pulls another dumb one and when Brawl gets shipped and they put in on the shelves ;I will be checking friday and saturday. They did it with Mass Effect maybe they will do it with Brawl.

If not then I will be going into Tallahasee early with a friend of mine, then speeding home (yes I own my own car :p). Then we will either do versus, or if I can talk him into it we will co-op play SSE. I can use that to help me pick what characters there are and try out all (or most) of the characters.

Okay. First, i will wake up at 5:00 in the morning and excited i'm getting brawl that day, i'm already awake. I will go get my breakfast, get clothes on, get my camera, feed my dog, and take the current disc out of the wii so it will be ready. I will also put charged batteries in my wii-mote. Then, i will wait an hour before future shop opens. Once it's an hour before it opens, i'll drive like the wind to future shop and get brawl. then i rush back home, not read the manual, open the cover and play brawl, not before taking a picture of it. If all goes well i'm skipping school on the monday just to play ssbb.

For high profile games like SSBB, they usually ship before the date and force stores not to sell until a certain date.

Theres your answer Jiangjunizzy. They do this with alot of game actually. Like I said some even have theres up before the actual release date (K-Mart:Mass Effect/Toys-R-Us: Bioshock)

Well, Ill probably go to Gamestop at 11:30 P.M. on Feb 9th, assuming theres a midnight release. The Ill drive home, sit down on the my bed, open the case, sniff it, insert the disk, move to the icon with my classic controller, click play, grab my gamecube controller, scream in happiness, cry for a minute, watch the opening movie, smell the box again, browse the menu in awe, play a few matches with Diddy and the PT, play Subspace emissary nonstop, unlock all the characters and stages and see you guys online!

The play online nonstop for the next 2 days.

yes I bought Mass Effect about 3 days before the game came out. The Game had a very bright orange sticker on the top that said " DO NOT SELL BE ??/??/????"(forgot the date). They never noticed it, the guy who sold it to me said that he loved the game and had already beaten it. The poor guy didn't even know that he was lucky xD

WEll find a low down store that still gets video games on time. In my case it was the K-mart that gets no business due to Wal-mart. I can't promise that anyone at all will do it. I really doubt that my K-Mart will do it again, I will ask them though.

Well good luck!

How do you know if they are going to do a midnight release?
EDIT: And to FrogButler why would you get the game a day later if you reserved it from gamestop?

ITs a possibility i just don't know exactly when they are shipping the game to retailers, anytime after that would be when you need to start hunting for it.

Not going to be a midnight release (EBgames @ mall)

- Wake up a few hours before the store opens, rush to the mall (bringing my friend)
- Buy game
- Freak out
- Get home and play for 3 days straight

Does anyone know if I can still get my preorder after I lost the receipt? (I think my dog might have ripped it apart) Can I just give them my number/name?

On Planet Earth....most of the time
Here's my plan:
*I go to church on Sundays so there first
*Then (around 1 or 2 PM) go out to Gamestop & pick up Brawl
*Nestle Brawl into its seat belt and go pick up my best friend
*Break several speeding laws and run several red lights on the way home
*Once home, Gently insert Brawl into the Wii and boot it up.
*Watch the intro movie and check out menus
*Try out Peach, Link, Pit, and all the other defaults in VS mode
*Co-op SE, then take my friend back
* #4 again, then continue SE & events (maybe even classic here and there) to unlock all characters
*Play two days straight (Not going to school Monday, being a high school senior has perks)
*(Weeks later) Return to the Internet and begin predicting for SSB4

In a house.
I'm hosting my own party at my home. Gonna have my brother, his girlfriend, co-workers, old friends, and any friends they want to bring. With soda and Gamecube controllers and Numchucks, we're gonna have fun!

Because Brawl was meant to be played with others, even those that have never played Smash Bros.! I'm sure the pity Smashes will come into play. ;)

They should still have you in the system. Especially if you go to the same store. I certainly hope so anyways, as I preordered mine the first day it was available for such. I was also the first one in the store after it opened to do so. I can't find my receipt anywhere though. >_<

Darkfur...your sig has one my favorite sig of all-time award (b' ')b APPROVED d(' 'd)
Redwall is the best book series ever, I've read them all like 3 times through...anyways

I realized a major flaw in my plan, I somehow need to get enough money to buy loads of Munchies and Sobe.
I'll be going in for the long haul here people, we should have a contest to see who stays up the longest by posting in a certain topic once every hour, like have 10 contestants. and the winner gets a Brawl Obsessed user title

I'm going to be brooding under a bridge like a troll, mumbling about you Americans who actually know when they'll be getting the game...But when it's released over here in the UK, me and my friends are all heading to a store together, buying the game and then going back to someone's house for a Super Smash Brothers Brawl orgy. And then the real orgy. Then I'll go home and play SSE Co-op online with my friends. Then...who knows?

I already prepaid in full for brawl at my local gamestop in our mall.
I have no clue if they will midnight launch or not but I will call to find out before hand.
If they do a midnight launch, I will drive there an hour early or so and wait if there is a line.
Then get it as soon as possible running past anyone that gets in my way to the car.
Drive home the quickest way without breaking any laws... Wouldn't want to get a ticket or go to jail on that night. LOL
Get in my driveway, turn the car off, lock it, get out with my game, unlock my door, and go inside my house.
Take the package off of brawl and remove the disc in all of it's glory and turn my wii on, then turn on my 2006 model 52 inch HDTV. God I love that TV ^^
Select the brawl icon on my wii channels and start the game, then watch the intro.
Go to options and make sure everything is set right like widescreen ect.
I will then play afew rounds with my friends if they are with me that night which I know my pal Kira (Sheik/Fox user) probably will but my rival DJ FaZe (Samus user) might be busy working that night if he doesn't use afew sick days.
I will pick Link first and pwn with afew brawl friendlys then play afew other chars then check out the extras and minigames ect.
After that, I'll play classic or SE co-op if able and unlock everything I can.
After unlocking enough I might try afew online matches and see if I can get some of you guys on the forums to play me.
Then I'll finish unlocking everything. I hope everyone will enjoy brawl as much as I am going too. ;)

seriously? ****, i pre-ordered at GameStop. lucky i only put $5 down.

ok, some changes to my original plan are:

i think the first thing i would do is a few basic brawls, just to see how the gameplay is. then its straight off to SSE to unlock a ton of chars and play through the story.


Also, many of my friends have bought games a few days before their release dates from UPS/DHL drivers. If i am lucky enough to find one, i will certainly spend the cash to get the game a few days before the 10th.
