About three days ago I was the only, ONLY, one in my high school that checked Brawl's updates daily, followed the news, browsed here, etc.
Then, behold! Some kid I'd barely seen before passes me in our library, sees me looking on the dojo, and sits at the computer next to me, logs on, and checks the same site. Then we did some brawl speak for a bit and he went away :p

So, now 2out of about 3500 kids care about SSBB or smash in general in my school. I feel a little better now lol

lol actually once again Halo takes much faster reflexes, a lot of experience, and faster finger movements if you are good
Halo requires nowhere finger movements (Maybe about the same reflexes), it doesn't matter how good you are, you can only do a certain number of things in any given time anyway.
Smash is way faster than Halo; I don't even see how you can think you're right on that.

Halo require no experience.
I have a friend who was incredible at Counterstrike and Team Fortress Classic, and had never played Halo in his life (being as he is a PC gamer). Anyway, we brought over an XBox one time, and my friend, who was a lot better than us, came too. After he got the hang of the controls, my PC gamer friend was doing as good as we were, who had months of practice, and could even kill my really good friend too. I've never played online, but I have played people who are ranked high online, and killed them a few times, granted I still lost pretty hardcore.

There are tons of games like Halo (first-person shooters), but Smash is one-of-a-kind. If you're good a one console shooter, you'll be good at the next.

Like I said before, Halo requires a different kind of skill. It takes more precise movement, rather than faster movement. Also, knowing the map is a huge part of the game.

Also, Trolling is intentionally pissing people off to start an argument, and people put their Wii #'s online so they can play Wii games together, since knowing the person's code is necessary to play online against that person.

You seriously think Halo requires no experience?? Haha just because 1 person is good without playing it doesn't mean anything your just like all the other idiots that spout random crap about Halo 3 that isn't true ... and my friend has been playing for like 6 years and yes experience does help he will pwn any of your "friends" plus he has a life like your friends probably don't have

I think about 20 people who go to the Gaming Club in my school are interested, but the only people who are REALLY excited for it are about 5 other people besides me. All the rest of the people who go to gaming club are noobs anyways, appearantly the sophmore club president (there are 3, and the sophmore beat me by 2 votes because he promised to bring in systems every week, so far 3 weeks, 1 system...) just found out that there was a Donkey Kong past stage last week... he never got the 64 version.
but I am off topic...
soooo, not very many people are excited about SSBB that I know of, and most of them are the steriotypical creepy D&D gamer nerds...

thank goodnes for an off period and a teacher that lets me play smash during it.

I only know of two other people who are looking forward to Brawl. And one of my other friends will probably play it with us, but she never even bought Melee. So I doubt she'd buy Brawl.

But then, I don't have too many gamer friends. We're all pretty casual players, if anything.

So, it doesn't exactly seem to be a sensation sweeping my school (unlike Halo. . . overrated), but then, video games in general aren't often topics of conversation. At least not the conversations I'm involved in.

If one person is good without playing, and it doesn't mean anything, than your one "friend" (I don't know why you used quotations on that, makes no sense) that has been playing for 6 years and being excellent doesn't mean anything either. Some people are innately better at certain things, and that goes for everything.

And where did I spout random crap about Halo 3 that isn't true? Don't compare me to people like that. I think by my well structured argument, you'd be able to tell I'm not an idiot. But you're right, it isn't fair to say Halo requires NO experience. It does take a vast knowledge of weaponry and maps, which is a huge part of the game. And you have absolutely no reason to say my friends don't have lives. That's just insulting, and not once have I insulted you.

As (odd/sad/amazing/whatever word) as it seems, it isn't...
Guinness Worlds Records 2006-2007

In August 2005, Cody Miller (USA) completed Halo 2, with the difficulty set to "Legendary", in a time of 3 hours 17 minutes 50 seconds, without game-death. Miller is the first Twin Galaxies-verified champion to finish the game without losing a life. Twin Galaxies senior referee Robert T Mruczek noted:
"There are a variety of ultra-cheesy tactics that Cody specifically didn't employ... it was a clean run and one that should be respected by his fellow gamers on the title."

you know exactly what I mean
so because someone gets together with peers and does something they all enjoy....theyre nerds?

so the football team is a big sausage fest of nerds and so is the tennis team, basketball team, cheerleaders, etc.

yes, i know that, but these people are the ones that just sit in the back and randomly yell things like "shiek is a sl*t because she has a tight suit on" and "I feel sorry for the person who picked peach because peach is a girl and sucks"

i dunno, everyone wont shut up about Halo 3 at my school :(
Ditto. Which is actually annoying because I would never even consider playing any Halo game on my own (I've been suckered into playing it with a friend of mine once or twice). :ohwell:

I generally just dislike shooter games though. So that's got something to do with it, I'm sure.

As far as I know there are 2 others in my school who even know the game exists...(not including my brother and I) but we are pretty competitive toward each other and have lots of fun playing each other :D

Like, 2 people. Me and another guy I play Melee with. Wii is not big here. No one wants to pay $500 USD [it costs that much here] for a console that only has 10 games worth playing in it's whole life span.

Xbox reigns supreme here.

They don't want to pay for a console that costs $500 with only a few good games, but they'll pay for a console that costs just as much money (if not probably more) that has no good games? What a topsy-turvey place you live in.

That's pretty much subjective. Nintendo was never big here, maybe when they were they only thing around but after PS1 it was over.

PS3 flat out costs too much [$1300 USD anyone?].

So everyone naturally turned to xbox. I can't blame them, honestly. People here love shooters, fighters, racers, hate RPGs, RTS, any kind of sim, and anything anime based.

Xbox is the perfect choice for most people here this gen, last next it was ps2.

Xbox is just about $600-700 USD.

If I don't get a Wii for a normal price soon I'll just buy a 360 online, the fact that Wiis are selling for the same price as 360 [$330+] is ridiculous. I only want a Wii for backwards compatibility and the big hitters anyway. If my GC was working I would have gotten a 360

@ the guy that says it is possible to beat halo 3 on legendary while searching for skulls and exploring, that IS impossible, there are over 800,000,000 kills from the campaigns already and a lot have not finished

your a nerd for arguing over the internet with someone you dont even know. halo takes alot of skill and experience. i can hardly touch my friend in halo 2. ssbm also takes alot of experience as well. example say if someone just learned all the advance techniques vs someone who knows all the advance techniques but who had the game longer. who wins? the one who had the game longer but the one who did not have it for that long is bound to get some kills though. same with halo. however SSBM Takes it in finger speed. your constantly hitting buttons without a stop untill your opponent losses a stock . reflexes are close between the two but i got to go with ssbm. Teching off walls after getting hit with high damage. recovering from 2 meteor smashes. the list goes on. and team work goes to halo.
i think its stupid to compare two games of different generas so halo wins in some ssbm takes some ect.

CASE CLOSE!!!!!

I just got into college so I haven't met many people yet. The only people I know of who want this game are me, my friend, and the people at gamestop :( I'm so desperate for competition that I've been trying to induct my other friend into buying a Wii.

Yeah, if somebody draws dragons all day then he is definitely somebody who you try not to be affiliated with in the hallways, if you get what im saying.
:laugh: Come ON now guys. Nindgod isn't even the only one. Don't act like you're better than some unpopular kid. If he ain't hostile or smelly or some unbearable combination of similarly bad traits it might not be a bad idea to befriend the guy, especially if he plays smash. That in itself erases a lot of bad qualities. What's at stake, really? Some bird brain might say something? Have some ****ing character people.

Plus, it might get you off a few "people to kill" lists. Hey, ya never know.
