Package A:
1) 5 New Characters
2) 10 New Stages
3) The 15 or so cut songs
4) More Stage Builder parts/backgrounds
5) 20 New Events

or

Package B:
1) 3 New Characters
2) 5 New Stages
3) A few new Stage Builder parts
4) A new rule menu that allows you to toggle...
Hit Stun: Low High
Tripping: On Off
Lag Cancelling: On Off

And a few more advanced options

I'm interested to hear what competitive players would choose

thats a close one ... i knew right away that something big was coming up for the fewer amount of characters , stages and stage builder parts in package b.

I think I would go with package b as we have a lot of stages and stage builder isnt that great in the first place (Only 3 backgrounds and the randomness element you get from the already given stages is almost gone) plus its a diffrence of only 2 characters (which is a lot but not enough to cancel out the tripping on/off option).

package a

tripping isn't a big deal, i'd rather have a new characters/stages

but this is pointless considering we wouldn't get ANY of either of those packages, even if dlc were possible.

Those options in Package B would be wierd. I think it might make problems for people cause some would play with high and some with play with low hitstun then people at tourneys would have to play with the setting the tourney uses. I think it would create a lot of confusion in the scene for newcomers.

But that tripping on off toggle is tempting...

I guess I would say A just because I don't want anyone to be playing a different game than anyone else, we would need 2 competitive scenes which would make each of them smaller and we don't want a tiny competitive scene. Now if that was just the way the game was and everyone had to play that way, B sounds good.

Tripping's bad, but I've learned to live with it. Package B would be the sort of the thing that would require a change in the physics engine- I don't know if Nintendo or Sakurai would be willing to do such a thing.

I pick package A. As much as I like the content that's already there, I feel that something's missing.

dude, its not about the tripping, its about the L-canceling!!
If you think about it, eventually the slow characters are going to be almost unplayable because of this lack of L canceling, so you may get 2 new characters but in reality you don't because only a few characters will be playable. a friend of yours who prolly sucks at this game will just go meta knight and always win.

let the flamming begin

Too tough to call.

On one hand B would add the technical depth I desire from this game, but my friends like Brawl more cause it evened our skill levels. Adding that depth would make it Melee 2.0 for them.

I'd probably say A just because my group of friends would enjoy that more.

I hope people can just help each other up when they trip in tourneys, or at leadt let the other guy get up.

Package A because the only reason why I would choose package B is for L canceling and tripping

It would depend for me on what characters are in each package. Tripping is bull, but I think it would be worth it if we got the extra 2 characters if we still had to suffer through tripping.

However, if that extra 2 included Krystal, I'd take package B just out of spite.

The people picking A are probably never going to get near that level where it matters.

It'd be so much better without tripping, and I'd be ok if L-canceling since I still press L on most of the slow characters. I'm ok with just getting 3 characters, as long as Micaiah or Ridley is one of them.

Definitely A. Tripping doesn't happen enough for me to sacrifice 5 stages and 2 characters for it.

Seeing as I've already adapted to Brawl's aerial mechanics I don't see why I'd want to relearn L cancelling anyways.

I would chose package B. I'd rather have more depth in this game than none, I don't care too much about two extra characters that I'll probably never be interested in using anyways.

I'll get A: tripping, strange hitstun and no lag cancel is already part of the game...


also, this game needs more trophies: less animal crossing ones and more pit/fire emblem/MGS/stuff that has a playable character but 20 less trophies than animal crossing (this AC overload annoys me)

I'm not a competitive player (although I want to be, no dang tournaments)

I'd have to say B...because I've lost many matches thanks to tripping

A, not even close.

it pisses me off how so many people are crybabies about how brawl changed around. so, tripping is annoying. deal. this game will evolve in its own way, the advanced things were changed for a reason, the game can be competitive either way. 5 characters, 10 stages would be awesome enough, but stage builder improvements, more music, and events? hells yes!

They both look tempting but i'd go ith A. Tripping is a little annoying but i'd go for more characters anyday.

Package B, it would change brawl tremendously. People would stop whining and We could take brawl to a whole new level.

BUT!! IF package A would contain Waluigi as a playable character, I would spit on package B and become a master with Waluigi even with the lack of advanced techniques that brawl seems to have right now.

I would give up ANYTHING in brawl just to be able to play Waluigi =(

hell, if you would understand my dissapointment when I saw he were only gonna be an assist trophy =/, my hype for brawl just dissapeared for a while.

Yeah, that tripping on and off would be awesome.-_-

Tripping I can handle. One random thing won't kill the game for me. For more hitstun, just play Heavy Brawl. Heavy Brawl fixes a lot, and makes Brawl more like Brawl 2.0 (NOT MELEE 2.0!). Brawl 2.0 FTW! :) So Package A is the easy choice for me. :) The more chance for Ridley, Krystal, Geno, Issac, Mewtwo, Roy, Mega Man, Balloon Fighter, Plusle and Minun (WHY IN GOD'S NAME DO I LIKE THE IDEA!?!?!?), Pichu (I want to see you all CRY AGAIN! :laugh:), or just flat out ANYONE, the better. Characters > Life! :laugh:

Just stop thinking of Melee techniques, and you won't trip! STOP SINNING AGAINST BRAWL! [Lavis Fiend's tripping happens when you sin thread reference] :laugh:

What is L-canceling? Right now, I'd probably choose package A, because Mewtwo was one of my mains, and I was really hoping for tails and Soma Cruz to be a playable characters.:(
L-canceling is an advanced technique that wuz in melee. It involves pressing the L, R or Z button after you perform an ariel attack and land to reduce lag. it wuz useful, but is not in brawl
