Alright, well we all have been watching the new Updates for Brawl on Smash Bros. Dojo, aka Smashbros.com and there have been some days where i say to myself, "****...this wasnt worth staying up till 12am for." Anyone else know the feeling?
And other times when I just think, "Oh Thank god Yoshi's up B helps his air time.".
Ya know what Im saying?

There are just some of those new happenings that tick ya off and you know they could have put something more important or just even better then some of the crap they post.

this has been in the back of my mind for a while but just today did it come to be.

Hate of Love. You have your preference. Please share your distast or joyful accusations for what you think will liven up or quite possibly kill the Brawl.

Ill open this post with a few i find just so usless and how much some will make this game just that much better.

Love:
I Think its awesome that Yoshi's up B actually does some good for him in the air this time around.
The Bumper is back and will cause some damage. (It rocked in the 1st game and the bumper from Melee..just didnt do it for me.
Gooey Bomb, enough said.
Lylat Cruise and Battlefield. Nice.
New character, Pokémon Trainer. Im sorry but i just think it would be so cool to play as Charizard. Omg, awesome.
Bowser's Final Smash, no more sheats to play as Giga Bowser.

Hate:
Stickers. What the heck. That looks like its going to get really annoying... and a sticker book? "Ooooo you can save screenshots....." Please.
That your Pokemon as Pokémon Trainer have "stamina", I dont want to be forced to change character is i dont want to. Id like it better if it was like Shiek and Zelda thing.
The fact that you can only become Zero Suit Samus after Samus's Final Smash.
Stage acting. Please, just give us a straight forward stage with no perks or movements besides Battlefield (and Smashville betternot be the only flat stage).
Assist Trophys better get better.
I Hope Final Smashes will be an On/Off feature like items. Beacuse I'm scared of them getting in the way of old school just beat 'em up fighting like im Melee. I dont want to be interrupted by some big powerful attack if my friends and I dont want to. (Though they do look pretty cool. For the exception of DK's)

Well There ya go. Have at it. What do you Hate or Love about the new Smash Bros Brawl Updates???

I pretty much agree with everything you sided with. Well put.

Edit: just saw the newest update. I'm kinda worried about how Sakurai said that the whip ledge-grab thing is not only zero suit samus exclusive. If there are other amazing recovery techniques similar that might mess up the character balance that we've been looking for (well at least me).

I'm sure he was referring to Link's hookshot and Samus' grapple beam.

BOHAHAHAHAHAHA! you think thats bad? over here in jersey, I have to stay up until 3am to see the updates. whats even worse is that I HAVE to see the updates, since I can't sleep without not knowing them. consider yourself lucky.

[/QUOTE]

OHNONONONONONONONONO!!!!!! the pokemon trainer is a huge improvement over the zelda-sheik thing. with the whole zelda-shiek thing, everyone always uses the strongest character(shiek) while the weakest character gets ignored to death (zelda). the stamina thing is the real way to go. that way, you cant use the most broken/strongest character all the time, since you'll be forced to use the other pokemon, balancing things out. I have a good feeling sakurai will implement these limitations into brawl shiek as well. thank god.

Well actually, my friend uses Zelda over Shiek, and owns. Zelda is more powerful then Shiek if you look at damage delt, but Shiek is faster and can make more combos. I still say it would be better for a full on choice to switch instead of the Stam.

Sakurai just loves us. He likes having his own little cult.

Really Love: Pokemon Trainer/Subspace

Love: Everything else but Banana Peel

Slightly Dislike: Banana Peel

Hate: Well, hate is too strong of a word. I'm glad for the info regardless.

2007, standard combos were a great update, you got to learn that some characters can unleash a fury by holding down the attack button. That's cool stuff.

The only update I can probably say I hated was the Zero Suit Samus transformation one... it just gave me a sinking feeling. Although after a while I noticed that it never said ZSS had to be played that way, so I can live with it now. It was just a stunning blow for the first few read throughs.

Aside from that, I've been a little indifferent to a few updates, but I don't complain about "boring" ones. And most of them I really like, and a few are simply wonderful. My favorite updates are probably Pokemon Trainer (looks like a real fun character, can't wait to use him!) and The Subspace Emissary (confirmed one of my biggest Brawl wishes, with tons of screenshots and even a movie to look through).

the adventure mode looks good looks like there is a story line for each character meaning there could be hours of fun in adventure mode alone

The only update I hated was the update we got this Friday. Because we didn't get any update at all! We had Peach for a Thursday update, then on Friday, we had nothing.

most of the updates are great, so the sticker thing was sorta lame but if u look at the screenshot there were a few intresting characters some even from paper mario, and if the updates an item and shows the characters using it well then we got some more screenshots, so i think the only updates that suck are the music updates everything else is great cuz u at least get sumthin to look at visually

I gotta let everyone know my opinion on things, here goes:

:bigthumbu Gotta give big props to:
The music so far (as well as the people making it)
Moving while shooting
The new models for all the old favorites except Fox
Subspace Emissary
Four controllers with completely customizable controls
Names to match controls
Yoshi's third jump
Battlefield
Smashville
Delphino Plaza
Samurai Goroh, Dr. Wright, and Knuckle Joe as assists (if only Dr. Wright were a lawyer named Wright)
Toad NOT getting in
The new Pokemon (out of the pokeballs)
Smoke Ball
Franklin Badge (I think the item itself is stupid, but I just like how they included a Mother reference)
Link's, Kirby's, Mario's Pikachu's, and Samus' Final Smashes
Tether Recovery making a return

Gotta give big er... unprops to:
Stickers, first are foremost
Ike and Trainer, cool guys but just undeserving of a spot
Fox's new model
Only having to hold in A instead of tapping it to do combos
Every item other than Smoke Ball and Franklin Badge
Pit and Donkey Kong's Final Smashers
Nintendog and Devil Assist Trophies
Footstool Jump
Wario's down-B. It's just dumb
Yoshi's Island
Lylat Cruise
Skyworld
Bridge of Eldrin
Rumble Falls (can I put it in twice? I really hate it)
Castle Seige

Zinc. I love your list.
And I like Fox's new look. I mean, i was guessing that they were gunno go with his Star Fox Assult model but he looks more into it this game. I Also like how his Shine actually comes from an item on his belt, thats pretty cool it shows him take it out to use it.

Why are some of you staying up so late if you know there is a the chance you will be disappointed? The update will still be there in the morning. Is there some joy in someone being able to post, "Wow, what a fun update..." and then going to bed. I'd rather get those extra hours of sleep so if the update sucks I won't be too bummed out by missing sleep for something so arbitrary.

Because I'm almost always awake past 3 am anyway?

And what does this have to do with the topic of the thread?

I stay up til 4 or so regardless. Except now I get to ***** about how much I hated the update within 10 seconds of knowing what it is. Take THAT! Also, sleep is for the weak.

If you read the original post about the beginning of this post, the poster mentions "staying up 'til midnight". It just seems futile to sit there waiting until wee hours of the night only to see something, not be happy about it, ***** about it in a post and then head off to bed all disappointed. Seems like a real let down to me.

I disagree, sleep is for the comfortable.;)

Love:
This week <3

Hate:
I don't actually hate any updates. At all. I just hate it when a week goes by and there was a lack of interesting updates... so I hate those collected updates as a week, not as individual updates.
