Yea, but the man got jokes... I remember in the MetaKnight update when he said that MetaKnight should calm down a little bit

LOL he should leave game design for comedy when he's done with Brawl

EDIT: But yea does any1 have an answer for why he gives all the ''reflector'' type special moves to the characters that doesn't even need them (the projectile users) instead of the characters that truly needs them (Bowser aka Target Test)

It was a dumb move to put a "Site opens today" notice while the site wasn't open until the next day.

Sakurai: I think the real question is how smart is BigRick when he doesn't know what a forum game is..
See how I added Sakurai in there to be bashing the OP while still be in line with the thread?

Sakuraiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this quote.:)

I dont see why Jump cancelled shines are a problem.. if theres no wavedashing. Jeez.

Its like hey nerf because of waveshine, and just no reflector power at all now, now its very situational, like a lightshield.

fox is like awww I used to be able to summon it outta nowhere and jump right away, and nintendos like YOU'RE FLOATY NOW, and hes like I dont wanna be im a fox I run fast and shffl nairs and own...

wow, im too baked this afternoon.
Y'know that Fox can still jump cancel his shines right? You just have to do it faster and hold down B while doing so. It isn't that hard once you get use to it. On top of that, the shine ending lag lag been greatly reduced, so you can tech chase with it.:)

This is NOT a bash thread.

The purpose of this thread is to find illogical stuff IN THE GAME and joke about it.

Reading comprehension ftw.

Now is there sum1 that agrees with what I said in my first post? lol
I DO!

But I applaud it considering I plan to main Pit and Metaknight.
No rankings in Online? Come on Sakurai!

His decisions are bad in our eyes cause we're not the one making bank. From my eyes, every thing he has done recently has been just to make as much money as he possibly can... =/

- Why did he even put ladders in the game? Who would put themselves in a vulrenable position when most characters can easily cover vertical distance twice as fast with their jumps + upB? Also will Snake be able to climb them?
Hah hah, Snakes and Ladders. :laugh:

Well a better question is why does he not give reflectors to the characters that don't have projectiles. Giving reflectors to characters with projectiles is fine since theres no single character with one. Look at it and ask why not rather than why lol.

One design choice that is really inherently flawed is the fact that you can no longer turn around and use your normal be in the air by pushing the control stick in the desired direction and then push b.
It was in the previous games, so why not brawl? It can only make the game better.

EDIT: Just read Gimpyfish's thread...
Sakurai is buffing peach, wth?

But it wouldn't make the game worse if it were to disappear. I don't care about the loss of that. Its really all opinionated but I doubt Sakurai meant to remove it specifically. It may have simply been something that came along with an engine or mechanic (like wavedashing = physics engine) and was at the bottom of a chain of things that got changed.

And good for Peach lol. I main Peach and Ganondorf atm so I'm biased in Peach's favor.

Pikachu's Pokedex Height: 1.4 feet

Young Link's approximate height: between 3.5 to 4.5 feet.

WHY IS PIKACHU AS TALL AS YOUNG LINK???

dire pikachu for the win lol
Young Link=3.5 to 4.5 feet
means
Adult Link=7 to 9 feet. (He's twice as tall as young Link in OoT)
which means
Ganondorf=14-18 feet. (He's twice adult Links height).
which means
Ganon=20-24 feet....


Face it, YL is tiny. And yes, Brawl-Pikachu is LARGE <_<
