I have only recently been playing melee useing advanced tects. i intend to become the greatest SSB player in the world. I dedicate all of my time to studying this game.

When brawl does go online, how many players do you think will play it?
I would like a ranking ladder system so that i can see my rank improveing as i play.
Will there be clan wars? and how competive will this game really be?

I want to becoms the best no matter how long it takes

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVA WA- sorry, I just had to say that >_>

I believe there are quite a few topics about clans and rakings, but anyway, if brawl does have teh online battles, the smash comminity will get very competitive. kinda like the pkmn, diamond and pearl community. even if there were no rankings, an online smash comminity will thrive anyway.

now if you excuse me- I KNOW ITS MAH DESTINY. SMASH BROTHERS! OH, YOUR MY BEST FRE-okay, I'll stop now >_>

Wasn't it stated that there wouldn't be an online ladder system implemented to show rank?

Anyway, people could just ***** wins making them usless because they wouldn't prove how good you were anyway.

A ranking system would make online alot harder, it would bring up things like having to stop people leaving during games when they are losing to avoid losing their ranks and cheating etc...

It's not confirmed that Brawl will be online. If it is online, there will probably be rankings. It probably won't be online though, the game requires too much frame perfect precision. I can only hope.

OP sounds like a cheesy anime character. Are you under 12 by any chance?

I WANT TO BE THE BEST NO MATTER WHAT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!

Play the game to enjoy yourself, don't spend your life wishing you had that one extra rank! Ranking would be a good idea though, gives you an idea of the skill level of the other player. But in all fairness, if there was no ranking system the wii-online ssbb community would be much friendlier!

Not really, a lot of online ranking systems (Like Strikers) just show who can play the most. Sure you can climb quickers if you have a better win-lose ratio but in the end someone who is 10-1000 can still be on top if it's based somewhat on points.

I would like an actual server selection thing this time. PBR and MSCF always had a random thingy. if there were to be clans, it would be wise to have server selection things.

anyway, I'd play it, but I wouldn't join a clan. I could always set up my services as a merc. I did that in dungeon siege and it went pretty well, I think, although, there wouldn't be anything to gain. ahwell, I guess I would just play and have fun.

for brawl, I would guess the ranking system would work as points from each match you play. +1 for wins, -1 for loses and self destructs, maybe +2 for each match won.

The best you say? An extremely unlikely goal, attainable by only one. Those who seek it must possess a special otherness, an almost arrogant expectation to succeed-- a touch of forever, as elders of the past once called it.

Yes, I see it in you, even stronger than your father. It should have been he to witness this moment. Alas, he fell bravely in The Great Melee, never having experienced the rapture of Brawl.

This is his sword. Go on and take it! It is yours by birth.

How many fighters will you encounter? There will be many, and some will possess the forever touch just as you. Your quest will not be one of leisure.

Ladders? Your fallen opponents will be the only obstacles to climb, but alas you may have to use your feet to prove your greatness to the world.

There will be clans, but they will not duel you in your room. You must seek them out, if you be so bold.

This is not a game.

Awesome post, Xaron. Anyways, to the topic creator, there's not going to be any ranking system. Sakurai said so himself. He wants to keep it as secret as possible, so we have to use Wii-code. There will be a track of your wins and loses, but that's about it. Oh, and I'm looking forward to clan wars, too. :)

Your optimism is great, but don't expect to become the best unless you have complete dedication.

More than likely, you won't be playing advanced or semi-decent players online. Reason being is because advanced smash is frame dependant, which means that any lag can really ruin the flow of the game( Lag is an inevitablity ). Mainstream play will still be conducted in local tournaments because of this.

Online will not cator to the competative player, don't get your hopes up.

I agree totally.

Besides, at an actual tournament you'll be having more fun, and you'll still be climbing a 'ladder'. Just keep playing and don't stop.

I'm terribly sorry bro, but sadly you will have no chance against my online team. That goes for the rest of you mortals on Gamefaqs, SmashBoards, gamespot, or wherever! I'm giving you all fore warning. If Brawl is online and you can battle against people from across the globe, keep your eyes on "The Brotherhood of Shadow," for we'll blow you all away, and eventually you'll succumb to the darkness! Just so that you know. Of course, if you want me to recruit you on the best squad ever, I'm always a Pm away.

But anyways, of course this game is going to be competitive. Beyond competitive even! Seriously, there are an endless number of SSB players out there and the number is equivalent to the number of grains of sand there are in the Sahara Desert. And the numbers just keep growing....

So of course it's going to be competitive! And it better be online too seeing how SSBB is so high on demand!

Well, well, well. If it isn't shadenexus. You definitely talk a big game, but I wonder if you can back it up online. I might even start up my own online clan against you. There will be people that will beat you. It could even be me...

Face it Takashi, you're finished! Might as well stick a fork in you because you're rotisserie golden brown right now! Same thing goes for the person who posted below you. *shifts hands back and forth* And bring you're rival online team on. I'll grind them into dust.

As they say, like sheep to the slaughter.....

>_> I'm glad there won't be any rankings. I'd just be too depressed that despite spending so much time with the game, I'm ranked...like...four million. And my ego couldn't handle that!

Still, disconnecters+lag+crazy unfair matchups+joke matches and friendlies will probably lead to win/loss records that don't really say much about your skill, so whatever.

So a typo means that I'm going to be handed a defeat by someone in this worldwide Smash Community. Don't make me laugh bro! My skills are far beyond surpasses than elite players in MLG. Well, as far as Melee and Smash 64 goes. Brawl will be no different. So what makes me think for an instant that I'll be beatin by you Takashi, or anybody else? Laughable, truly laughable!

Do you have any idea how egotistical you are? You honestly think you can beat the pros from MLG? You're coming off too strong, man. Someone has to put a stop to you. I decided to take the job. That's all. Eventually, you will lose. If not by me, then someone else.

^^No no, not think, I know I am more than able to beat MLG gamers. Probably blindfolded even with one hand tied behind my back without breaking a sweat.

^^I wouldn't go that far, but I say I'd be pretty easy, if not easier to put them in there place. *anime sigh* It's lonely at the top of the mountain top Takashi, so very lonely.

You're in over your head. You'd get destroyed if you went up against those guys. Even if (IF) you beat me, I highly doubt you would stand a chance against professionals. Get over yourself. Seriously. I'm not trying to be mean. Just letting you know. :)

LOL, I honestly can't tell if your joking or just wierd shade, please enlighten me.

Yes online will be great, ranking system maybe. Hurting your self esteem? No. The smash community is like the navy seals or marines of smash! We are the elite...cuz we can WD. But there'll be less drilling and more hanging out drinkin soda and ordering pizza. I don't see how this could hurt your self esteem when 75/100 matches you'll be playing are against casual players who'll think *OMG HAX D:* "CHEETAAAR", or "ZOMG, thats that wavedasht hing I hear about on the interwebz!!!11!!!twentythree You must be a pro!"

Either way it'll be fun.

Believe you me, first chance I get or if I ever get the opportunity, I'll crush PC Chris, Ken, and Isai in whatever game of Smash they choose. Yeah yeah, talk is cheap this is true, but atleast Motel 6 is looking out for a token black guy!

In all seriousness, all those who cross my path in Smash will fall before my wrath!

Shadenexus, my smash skills are greater than your smash skills.

I will lay waste to you and your grandmother in the process. Your family will disown you. Your dad will get diabetes, cancer, SARS, and rabies just watching the sick combos I pull on you. The memory of my frightening skills will cause your hair to fall out and you will forget your own name. Wandering endlessly and purposelessly as a filthy hobo, you will eventually come across a magical copy of Brawl on the ground, kill your cousin, and hide in shame within the bowels of the deepest cavern you can find, where the power of the disc will slowly unravel your vague sense of humanity into nothingness, and you will become a smash wraith--thirsting for a death that will never come, forever tortured by your humiliation at my hands.

Challenge me at your own peril.

Blah, blah, blah! You beat me? Don't be so foolhardy! Well, it won't take long for me to break your main in half when you encounter the ultimate sovereign of Smash, being myself of course.

And as far as everybody else, come.....come and be humbled by the one and true testament of Smash.

So many rivals, so little time....

Oh yeah, videos. Listen up, I don't post videos. That's a huge no no. Then you'd be able to study my moves and my patterns. I don't think so.
