My thoughts that I am sure are shared by somebody in the last 69 pages..
Story mode was somewhat interesting but was boring and repetitive. Why make a ten hour story mode when 95% of the time you are doing the same stuff over and over as far as fighting enemies goes.
And no race to the finish??
Whats with target test? 5 levels? Ok I suppose except now there is no point to even mess improving the times. 35 characters times 5 levels equals who cares about good times you just want to get the 175 target tests done. blah..
15 minute brawl bothered me. I don't like lengthy things that are not based on skill but rather what explosives don't appear under you when you are attacking the alloys. The enemies could already do to much damage as is...but the fact that I lost in the last two minutes at least five times from explosives appearing under me mid attack is disgusting.
Online mode is crap. I am sick and tired of losing close battles due to the lag crap. Make a decent online system nintendo! My character is average speed so in battles against quick opponents I for one need what I press to happen. Not some slowed down fantasy version if it even happens at all. Or even worse something I didn't press happens and runs me off the edge to my death. Thats always a thrill. And when I go to the random player brawl why does it take 30 minutes to find somebody. I doubt its that hard. And oh, why not make it something other than very high items for 2 minutes. Why Nintendo?? On top of all of that you should be able to send messages to your friends...who is it going to hurt to be able to do that?
As far as the actual "brawl" goes it just gets worse. Its plainly obvious there was an agenda with people like snake and metaknight and falcon/ganon...etc. How can they in their right minds make some people so good and make others so bad? Basically they make garbage characters and force people to use some select few. Every character needs to be unique but show some love nintendo and make ALL the characters capable of being top tier. I don't like the way all of the best characters from the last game seem to have been nerfed in the this one as well. My main Peach, is just a shadow of the caliber she was in Melee. Was it necessary to remove or weaken ALL of her killing moves? I suspect the same has occured for many. Another thing, stop making clones!!! Either make them different or get rid of them. And also why do we need 5 mario related characters but nobody from say the golden sun series except an assist trophy. Um..ok.
The "weight" also seems distorted in this game. I think that people should fly when hit according to how much they weight. Is that a problem or something? I hate it when seemingly light characters like the ice climbers have got to be some of the strongest in the game. They are pipsqueaks and should fly far when I hit em. Same applies to people like kirby and others.
Tripping was not a good idea, but I don't think its as bad as some make it out to be.
Up B moves need to be thought over. Some are too good/bad. Toon link is one of those that seems to live far to high for his size already and his up b is so good its almost impossible to kill him without SDing on the edge. Others like ness's are just unfairly bad. Just jump into the upB and hes done. Not right. There is more I could say as far as damage that they do but this suffices.
Reflectors. A reflector should be a reflector. I don't like some reflectors beating others its just silly. How can you beat a reflector? I think the duration on some of them should be shortened as well. Marth shouldnt be able to sit there for like an entire second able to block anything whatsoever. How about a short window so he actually has to show some skill to reflect it hmm?
Items..not to many complaints. They are supposed to be unfair I guess...except final smashes. Wow they really blew these. The differences between characters are amazing. I just don't know what they were thinking. Take Jiggleypuffs for starters. Its a joke. If the level is of any size at all you can get away no problem. And even small levels well timed jumps will get you away. Same applies to DKs, and a few others that have 'circular' powers. Like Luigi, I can get away from it 95% of the time and then what can he do other than dance in his circle? Others like Marth, Ike, the links, Snake don't require a lot of skill and you can just kill somebody on a brand new life. Sonic gets even worse because a really good one can probably kill you twice if you are really high % when he gets it. A few more flops on my mind. Mario, I can just jump out of it. Pikachu and barely kill even at 200% damage. I can dodge Lucas's fairly easily most of the time. Falcons is to easy to know where he wants you...etc Another thing is why do we need three landmasters. Umm lets try and turn the creative wheels nintendo... My pain Peach has plently of problems as well. So what if it puts you to sleep most people can just stay airborne and awake...or hang on a ledge. Guess what then they can eat all the peaches and my power does them as much good as myself. Oh but its fair right?
Lastly, would it have killed them to do more testing? I saw on youtube like 4 vidoes that are ten minutes long each with about 100 glitches supposedly. How could all of those not be known? Whatever...Sakari or whatever has name was had some problems making this game...so much they should have done but didn't. I just remembered one other thing too. The stage builder...again ugh. Whats with the lack of pieces, lack of variety, restricted size backgrounds, edge boundaries, etc. (screams) Well thats about it.
