Rotation, Rotation: The Circle of Smash

[Wazoo21]

Frickin' awesome. I remember when I had 2 GC controllers, Melee, and 2 friends over. In the end, I watched. Watching people play video games is never that fun. O_O

Yay Sakurai!

 

[CHAOSDRAGON88]

Yeah mic_128 is good at this, better than nate (bihldorf).

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

this is just like the 64 players tournament thing in Melee xcept this is not tournament mode and it only for 1/4 of 64 players..............XDD

 

[ripman3]

nice little update,

 

[Corax The Cold]

this is a nice feature, im not used to using a name when playing SSBM, but i think with stuff like this and the controls ill be using a name in SSBB (5 letters helps too)

Also this just made me wanna play brawl with like 6 people simultaniously, but i guess it would get too hectic

 

[gamer8]

Most of my friends don't even care about this game... what a useless mother ****ing piece of trash update... my god...

 

[Hornsfan]

Good update for today. Its these nice little features that will keep you hooked on brawl for that much longer.

 

[bob-bomber]

cool looks like fun

 

[gamer8]

How can you guys actually like this update? It freaking sucks it's the worst update ever ffs.

Some of us have friends to play with.

I do too, unfortunately most of my friends don't care about this game.

 

[weathers25]

Wario's icon is his plumber suit could it be his alt costume I doubt it

 

[Espy Rose]

When first I saw this update, I could've sworn it was gonna be a 5+ player mode. Silly me.

Also, I don't feel anything bad toward this update, but nothing good either. Rehashed game modes are meh.

Oh, and:

Rotation is limited to 16 players. Mm hmm.

Don't know why, but when I read that part I lol'd.

These people like the update because they are going to USE it. The fact that YOU WON'T doesn't make it CRAP! Do you UNDERSTAND the concept behind that?

*sigh* I guess at least now I have a good example of the sort of whiner that people keep complaining about.

All I'm complaining about is this barrage of how to play and game mode updates we keep getting...

 

[weathers25]

Wario's icon is his classic yellow suit not likely but it could be an alt costume?

 

[secretcode]

Meh. I'll never use it. It's nice to know even the smallest things are updated.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

This update won't have much use for me. Of course, it always helps when you have a bunch of friends around to hang out with.

I would've thought by now that people would stop complaining about the updates we're receiving. You can't expect new fighters or stages every day after all.

I like this update, and I liked the Widescreen update because I'm planning on using them...a lot. Gamer8, don't forget that every update has meaning towards someone out there. Except for 'You Must Recover!' of course.

Are you some sort of spammer?

 

[Fawriel]

I can understand complaining about a minor option like widescreen that was obvious anyway, and I can understand wanting to bite yourself in the butt after a thousand updates you already saw at E4All, but this update was, for once, something new, some people are happy that it exists, and that's all it needs to keep it from being as crappy as you make it out to be.

I think I was gonna say something else, too, but I forgot what it was. Yay!

 

[SolidSonic]

Friends already implement a rotation system on their own. Whatever though thanks for the "useful feature".

Talk about mirco managing.

*cough cough

How do these people think of this stuff, oh wait... their Japanese.

You got some sort of problem with the Japanese? HM?! DO YA!?! HUH! HUH!! HUH!!! CAUSE LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! I'VE GOT A MIGHT OF A PROBLEM WITH YOU AND YOUR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION, BUDDY!!!!!! GO JUMP IN A LAKE!!!!!!! Now, back to raging at the people who whine and complain all the time. Might your whining have something to do with, i don't know, your lack of maturity or gratitude? Also, i never knew how to do this in Melee and i probably won't use it in Brawl, but there might be some people, if you whining b****s haven't thought of it before, who haven't played Brawl! They would be rejoicing! Oh, and would you like some cheese with your whine?

 

[SJAK47]

Very nice, I like this update very much.

 

[NukeA6]

This mode won't have much use to me seeing that most people around me are more interested in Halo and racing games. I will stick to online mode. Still, it's impressive how much Sakurai is putting into this game. After all, a last game in the series has to end with a bang.

 

[Deleted member]

Awesome

Offtopic, but we're only four days from the starter/complete roster in CoroCoro

 

[Myst007_teh_newb]

There is an obvious limit to 4 characters for names shown in this update. If it's already been said, whatever, but this saddens me.

 

[Metroid_01]

i thought it was how u could rotate the menu like in melee with the c stick

lmao. That woulda been bad .


I personally like this update. I didnt know such a mode existed in melee, but either way this features like this are what are going to make brawl a good polished party game. (mebbe not so much fighter =.=). Think about how frustrating it would be if you had special controls and you were in a rotation. Everyone would keep having to change their settings to get to those controls, this makes life alot easier as all of that is continuously updated. Sure, its nothing groundbreaking, but this is a really nice feature to have.

 

[Brawlmatt202]

Pointless update for me, because I usually play alone, and even if there ARE more people too play with, it's never enough to actually put this sort of mode of play to work.

 

[Terrorcon Blot]

Truely, this will make Brawl the best party game ever.

 

[raphtmarqui]

This is a decent little feature

 

[-sonny-]

The Bad:

- A rehashed game mode from Melee.
- Nothing new about the mode. Fail. They couldn't even be arsed with actually letting you add new players without starting completely over. Double fail. (upon further observation I noticed that this statement is untrue)
- The gaping fault with this game mode is that you actually need more than 4 players to get it to work. I can count on one hand how many times I had actually accomplished this with Melee; it was back in high school when I had roughly twice the friends I do now and I still only managed to scrounge up as little as 6 players. I had to force people to play to achieve this number too.

The Ugly:

- Why do they avoid showing us how you go about selecting your character? This worries me that while they went to the trouble of registering your name and control, that they did something as stupid as having you assign a static character. One of Loser Out's best features was being able to pick a handicap character when you've been in the spotlight for too long. (after putting more thought into things, I wonder if they were dodging showing the roster to avoid revealing more than they wanted to)
- No mention of the return of the Ditto wildcard. Uber Triple ****ing Fail.

WOW, relax!!! If this mode isn't for you then just chill but for some this is a nice and useful mode that you really can't complain about.

 

[Xanderous]

I don't see how this is useful. Seems like a waste of development materials.

 

[The Hypnotist]

You don't need a mode that says winner stays in everyone else leaves, you really don't. Why the winner staying in you may ask? Because not only is he the better player but when people play him they get better. Winner out is one of the most illogical things I've ever heard.

 

[Chi's Finest]

Yea, this really could just be done in person, and isn't really needed to be done in the game.

 

[Drake3]

Do we really need a game mode for something like this? I mean seriously? It's not like he's mainly targetting 4 year olds who don't know how to share.

 

[MzNetta]

Smashers all over the world have been doing this for years.
Ugh.
I hope this takes up little/no space on that enormous disc.

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

While this update is essentially poor, I do like the fact that you can save controller setups.

I believe that was an update in itself, some time ago.

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

^No I meant in this mode too.
