If it is online, it will be inevitable...

Somewhat agree, but I want a good online service since it will dominate Wii's online competiters.
...It's a joke... I was kidding... end it.

n00b owning will be fun ecspesialy if ganon has his dair
He mods one/some of the tournament rooms.

Ahh I haven't noticed.
Oh noes, we agree on something. D=
I'm one of those people who'd feel discouraged by the fact that 4978 people are better than me. Also, how could the ranking system possibly be accurate? I could just find myself some n00bs and keep owning them several times daily. Blam, 100% clean slate. Meanwhile Ken, as an extreme example, would play some of his top pro buddies and lose from time to time. Would he be ranked lower than me?
I wouldn't trust computers to judge anything, honestly. Considering when the game starts cheering on people in a battle..... eh.
That said, I think there should be some way to register a set name. Definitely. And it's occasions like these that I'm proud to have a perfectly unique nickname. Kekeke.

The good thing with Caael is that nobody has ever used it apart from me...if somebody steals it, i'll raise hell!
Would you knot just have the namestags, like in melee? It really wouldn't be hard to distinguish the pros from the noobs.

I agree with you all the way.
I like my name Creo because no one has it either and it's my real name. I'll join you. If someone takes our names, we raise hell!

I believe if they do input Online Mode into SSBB, you will have to enter a friends Wii number to play them. I don't think they are going to spend a lot of time and make it random play mode with random people that are playing the game online.

They would have to do like the Warcraft III rating system. It works like this, if you don't know: You are given a level and experience, beginning at level 1 and 0 experience. Every game you play, you lose or gain experience, based on the level of the player you played against. (I don't play anything but 1vs1's, so I don't know how ffa's or team battles work.)
If you play and win, to a lower level than you, you gain a little experience.
If you plan and win, to a higher level than you, you gain a lot of experience.
If you play and lose, to a lower level than you, you lose a lot of experience.
If you play and lose, to a higher level than you, you lose a little experience.
The greater the difference in levels between players, the more extreme the experience lost or gained will be. Therefore, if you keep owning n00bs, you would gain virtually no experience. Your record could be 100-0, but your level would determine where you place in the rankings. Also, matches against computer opponents don't affect your record on Warcraft III, so Brawl could have the same feature.
I see one flaw in this setup though, a good player could create an account, beat ken, and sap a ton of points from him, and gain a bunch himself. And THAT, is why there should be matches pitted based on rank.
I believe ranking implies elitism. Battles should be played without pretentions. No "Crud, I'm going to be berated by this dude's 1337 tourney skills, so screw this." or "I'm gonna own these n00bz with my 1337 tourney skills, so screw this." It would damper the online experience for people picking up the game, and make crappy people out of seasoned players.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Sakurai state there will be no ranking on the online feature for Brawl?
Aside from that, name labels. Just like in Melee. I believe another user has said it already, but I am supplying emphasis. But I hope they at least extend the name label to 5 characters instead of 4 so I can fit at least the first part of my name on there. o_o

...haha. That would be somewhat flawed, but definitely awesome in some ways.
SSBB-RPG!
n00bs = slimes and bats
intermediate = trolls and lesser dragons,
...
SephirothKen = SEPHIROTHKen!

the lil d that could
I wonder how many noobs i will own then.
As for names they should do it by friend codes =p.

by leveling up, i did not mean that would improve your character. it is in no way like an rpg. THE LEVELS ARE ONLY FOR SHOWING YOUR RANKING!!! GET IT?

I dislike the idea of a visible ranking system. When people have a ranking they cheat, and cheating sucks. However, i'd like a hidden ranking system that works off that XP system, so that you get matched up to people with a few levels of you.
You only fight people within 1 level of you in any given direction.
100 xp to level up.
a 1 level above gives 20 xp on a win/lose 0 on a loss, on par for level gives 10/loses 5, and 1 level below you 5 for a win/-10 for a loss.
It would keep me from getting utterly *****, and if well hidden would stop cheaters.

So what makes you think I was talking about improving your characters? And more importantly, what on earth made you so upset about that? I suppose you've heard about the concept of "humor"? I was poking fun at the RPG-ish nature of that system of ranking and the fact that Ken would indeed be a sort of final boss.
If you haven't done so already, please calm down.
Also, the above idea seems pretty nice.

It has already been said there is online somewhere.(almost positive)
The friend code would suck. I personally will fight anyone that wants to. I don't care who I fight as long it is not a cpu. They should have a random room to fight random people and a friend codes room to see if your friend is online to see if he wants to fight you.

Do you want to fight against a n00b/scrub that thinks there the best? I rather play against all of you guys instead.
Friend codes>>>>>> rooms.
Creo
Smash Champion
Actually, I would want to fight a n00b that is cocky.(if there is ranks)Not to boost my rank but to teach him a valuable lesson. Plus, our names will most likely be on so you will probably recognize if they are from here or not. Plus, I said the possibility if both were in so you can fight your friends(obliviously a limited amount) and randoms.

I'm not so much worried about that. Plus, modded controllers doesn't mean they are unbeatable...they will still need quite some skill.

I agree.
I'll raise hell too!!
I've seen my name being used 3 times over different sites, I'll be pissed if that person gets it again.
I don't think random match making is hard, look at MP:H.
You mean a lobby? Kinda like Kalliera's? That'd rule.
I don't see why you are so worried about cheating, if you noticed cheating put the guy on ignore or something and move on, we can't be crippled just because of a few hackers and cheaters.
That sounds great.
They'll be lag for sure, hopefully it won't be enough to stop causal play. It would be foolish to think online will be good enough to support competitive play because 1 frame of lag is enough to screw you over, which is why I said casual play and not competitive play.

Well I read all of those and then some reason I remembered they are all quotes. Glad you agree with me though.

Kind of a stupid thing to worry about.

No because we need a good online service so we don't always have to travel to get a decent game in.
Games played that aren't random won't be ranked. Same way in Super Mario Strikers: Charged, and Halo 2. Otherwise people would cheat for a higher rank. So, ranks would be based off your win percentage against random opponents, which is actually quite accurate.

To solve ALL problems they need to do this :
When you try to go online it says " Please register Friend Code"
Ok, So you register your friend code to a certain unique name. Then once you get into the game you can use any tag you want ... but your friend code will still have a unique game. Whats the point of assigning a name to a friendcode? We'll .. to be honest, i feel like friendcodes are stupid because they are long forgettable numbers, if you could have a name affiliated with the number, itd make things alot easier.
Anyway .. with the ranking system .
I REALLY would love there to be a ranking system. In every game that has a rankiing system there is the choice to play ranked games or not play ranked games. What is so hard to understand about that? If you dont want to play ranked ... just dont play it. IF you feel like you have gotten good enough to start playing ranked, then play it.
Also , as someone stated earlier.. yes, it should lvl you up the same way that Halo 2 does it, and Warcraft III. That way, people of similar skills will play together in ranked play .. which is great, because thats how you get better. And people can play EVERYONE, good and bad in non ranked mode.
There is nothing wrong with that system.
The more freedom they give us the better. Id personally like it if they just let us create rooms, put a password on it if wed like ... and name the type of game we were going to play and the options, viewable within the lobby area. That would be the perfect system to me.
include an option to limit ranks too ... "All levels allowed" "Rank < 1500 only" etc.

Ditto. Ranking and matching opponents by level would also prevent the metagame.
