I heard they were supposed to be getting them today. I'm stopping by the two local gamestops after school to check.Anybody know if the Gamestop Brawl demos are coming out at all this week?
Sure, it's only 4 days, but it could be days where you can practice for the upcoming tourney.
My gamestop said they should've gotten it last week, but they said they could have it today.
If you're good with Pikachu or Fox, they'd both be good choices, especially Pikachu after all the buffs he's received. A friend of mine is picking him and he's probably my biggest roadblock to threat.What about Pikachu? Is he similar to melee? I heard his Down B is pure **** now. Is it better to pick a character that's similar to Melee, like Pikachu or Fox, so you already know what to use with them? Or pick a newcomer like Ike and hope you get the hang of it?
Your post is pointless. Kindly **** off.this thread is hilarious
I'd really doubt that, but it'll be awesome if it's true. Where did you hear this?Most gamestops from what i've heard are NOT using items.
It is false, check out gamestop's website on the brawl tournament. 1 minute, items matches. The rate of the item spawns is unknown to me. I know at my gamestop, and i think around the nation, only the wii-mote and nunchuck are useable AND they provide them there; you can't bring your own. It sucks MASSIVE balls, but if you wanna win, try to exploit as hard as you can...maybe piss off the guy you're playing. lolI'd really doubt that, but it'll be awesome if it's true. Where did you hear this?
Well the only way to really know for sure is to call you gamestop, some gamestops are running these tournements any way they want so . . . yeah just call them up and see what they say.It is false, check out gamestop's website on the brawl tournament. 1 minute, items matches.

If you want to do well, I'd pick a character you know. Both of those characters are good in Brawl anyways.What about Pikachu? Is he similar to melee? I heard his Down B is pure **** now. Is it better to pick a character that's similar to Melee, like Pikachu or Fox, so you already know what to use with them? Or pick a newcomer like Ike and hope you get the hang of it?
You're partially correct. I visited my gamestop and talked to the "GTD" myself, or the "referee" if you will, of the entire tournament. The rules are sanctioned by nintendo, and they aren't allowed to make their own.Well the only way to really know for sure is to call you gamestop, some gamestops are running these tournements any way they want so . . . yeah just call them up and see what they say.
And where exactly do you live?Talk to the employee running the tourney at your local gamestop! It looks like they have some leeway with the rules.
I went in the other day, and the place was pretty empty, so I was able to talk to the guy a little. He is NOT using the official rules!!
He said we could bring our own controllers as long as they don't have macros and stuff built in.
He said they are going to do stock matches.
He said they are going to use the "fair" stages , but not all the stages, and not just final destination.
And you're not.this thread is hilarious
The feel for the wii controller and nunchuck feels a little weird, so I suggest someone who isn't really fast in the beginning. Based off of your character list, I would recommend Kirby. He seems much better than his Melee counterpart, with better range and specific killing moves. If not, than the Ice Climbers.ok this is a good topic.
i mained marth and ice climbers in melee and i was also decent with: falco, ganondorf, yoshi, pikachu, and kirby.
but I cant decide who to use at the tournament.
the characters i'm looking forward to most in brawl are: ike, pokemon trainer, olimar, meat knight, and dedede (in that order)
how easy are each to pick up? please help if you can.
Ah man that sucks, but all well. Also, my Game Stop actually said that it is nunchuck + wiimote, BUT YOU HAVE TO BRING IT YOURSELF! I think this is pretty stupid and if its like this at any others people without a Wii are going to have some trouble.It is false, check out gamestop's website on the brawl tournament. 1 minute, items matches.

QFTPlay as Ike. Punish mistakes (trust me, casual players will give you plenty of oppertunities). Get one KO and then turtle the rest of your match.
You have to call the gamestop your are attending for this tournament....mine said they open doors at 11PM so get here before 10:30 to wait in line 10 to be safe he said.......every gamestop is different give them a ring and they will let you know what you got to dook my other questions still up for asking but also whats a good time to get to gamestop before theres a big line? i can't go if the line is too long...
alright thanks.You have to call the gamestop your are attending for this tournament....mine said they open doors at 11PM so get here before 10:30 to wait in line 10 to be safe he said.......every gamestop is different give them a ring and they will let you know what you got to do
For the first round I don't think you're gonna have to worry much about teching.I've been practicing on the nunchuk setup for a while...I'm so used to teching with my right pointer, and it sucks learning to tech with my right thumb. I'm a little disappointed that it sounds like a majority of people are gonna play Ike. Not that this is anything close to tourney standards, but is this a glimpse into what the Brawl tourney scene is gonna look like? Nothing but Ike?
he has great KO power, but other characters are not far off from him...Dedede, Pikachu, Kirby, Zelda are all super exploitable.
I'm glad there's no sudden death, but really these matches are gonna come down to whoever can use their final smash or dragoon first. KOs within a minute are soooo rare in this game. A majority of us need to expect to lose to some little **** getting lucky.
Not in brawl. In brawl the kill goes to the last person to hit you if you fall off. So you will really just tie up the match.Well I'm going and I'll probably use ike since he could have the easiest time knocking out someone in 1 minute. A little tip from me is that after you kill them, to kill yourself. They will have -1 while you will have 0 and have your percent back at 0 and just tank out the rest of the match.
Haven't heard of any place where it starts after, but it seems to vary based on location. Mine is starting at 10 p.m. Many others are starting at 9. A few have been reported to be starting even earlier. I'd suggest checking with your local store to be sure.What time does the tournament start? before or after midnight?
