SSE vs. 450 1hp matches

[Lovage 805]

450 1hp, flower matches will unlock every hidden character and some stages in 1-2 hours.
SSE on a decent setting will take 5-7 hours.

Which are you doing first?

We already beat SSE on our imported copy so I'm just going to breeze thru and get all the characters and do SSE at a later time.

 

[Bane84]

I'm just going to unlock Luigi first (my main), then go through SSE.

 

[Air Jordan]

I'm going to play a few classics, play a few matches then play sse

 

[KaosAssassin]

450 1 hp flower matches all the way. I want to get all the characters and stages as fast as I can, but also I would rather play SSE on co-op and I won't have anyone with me on the 9th

 

[RyjinX]

SSE. Pure badassery.

 

[boxelder]

What's the rush? I'm going to be playing this game for months, at least, why would I want to have it cleared in one hour. Be mature, you'll enjoy the game more.

 

[Demon Kirby]

Do you recall something called loading times? And the victory screen?

450 1HP flower matches would take longer than 2 hours.

Edit: and I'll be doing SSE.

 

[Muffinabus]

Play through SSE first obviously. I'd rather play the game and unlock characters naturally rather than alter game settings and do a boring 2 hours of barely playing the game just to unlock the characters.

 

[mangodurban]

SSE on hardest level co-op.

 

[Chaosblade77]

Normal multiplayer matches, then once I am done with that I'll get the rest via SSE.

 

[darkjedi187]

SSE and a little vs

I've heard that SSE loads every cutscene and battle, with terrible loading times, so I doubt it'd be shorter than the 450 VS matches.

I know, but I just felt like pointing that out.

 

[Andromeda]

The SSE looks way more entertaining than 450 1hp flowermatches. Even if it's got just decent reviews.

 

[zeldamaster2006]

The versus matches could take five minutes and I'd still be doing the SSE, I'm planning to do it first anyway (I'm a completionist) and would rather unlock the characters the fun way than rush into it with my first two hours of brawl being boring, monotonous pressing of Start. Besides, I want my "records" of versus matches played to be, you know, accurate.

 

[Shadow Calibur]

I'm going to blaze through SSE first.

 

[MajinNecro69]

SSE for me. I dun wanna screw up my versus records (yet) :D.

 

[hippochinfat!!]

SSE is FUN unlike that crap.

 

[SU_Remo]

450 1hp matches. Only because I'm having a Brawlnighter with a bunch of my friends. We all want to play VS matches with all of the characters as soon as possible, and you can't feasibly do that with SSE when you're having a party with six or seven guys. Granted, if I was by myself, I'd hit up SSE first.

 

[Quab]

i think the smart hing to do , would be the subspace emmisary
1. it's fun, the 450 matches is a tedios chore
2. chances are your gonna do it any why

 

[WolfCypher]

Both can and will get repetitive, but at least SSE will make me feel like I'm actually doing something. And there's a story.

 

[Riolu]

I'll be unlocking my characters through SSE. At least then I'll have some fun with it.

 

[WolfCypher]

And like QuaB said, you're going to HAVE to do SSE eventually anyway, so...

 

[Igneous42]

Even if it's faster to do the flower 1hp thing I still think it's stupid. Even if it only takes 1-2 hours, that would get really boring really fast. SSE for me.

 

[TheDemonKing]

I plan on doing the SSE first

 

[Ryven]

I'll probably just play normal versus matches until I have everything... I have no intention of doing SSE again. Ever. It was cool, like, once. For a little while.

 

[JusticePS]

I'm planning on doing SSE. I don't want to have 450 weird matches in my records throwing off all the stats, and since I'm getting it a couple days early (I know a guy that knows a girl with Nintendo store access) I'll have plenty of time to unlock everyone that way before I get on for online matches Sunday.

 

[chrisking570]

List of what im gonna do;
1- Load brawl, go on classic with my mate
2- I will be Pit at first, he will be meta knight
3- do this about 5 times for some practise, going through Normal each time
4- Have some VS matches against him, probably like 10-15
5- Start SSE and play for about 2 hours
6- more VS (20) and maybe classic (5) - VS to unlock stages and characters
7- Sleep
8-Wake up (hopefully)
9- Lather, rinse, repeat.

 

[Vaxxaruis]

imma mess around with everything for awhile then 1v1 all day

 

[Tiwaz]

Neither.
450 1hp matches is boring.
SSE is something I can't do when I get my own copy.

I'm going to be playing 4-player versus with my friends.

 

[chrisking570]

actually, i like the sound of messing around with everything. gonna make a few stages, then check out other stuff THEN do my plan

 

[Vaxxaruis]

yeah i need to unlock marth XD

 

[SirroMinus1]

sse if i dont do that ill never do it at all

 

[NotEz]

SSE definitely

even though it takes longer:
1.) SSE is more fun
2.) You're not really a hardcore smasher unless you at least play the story mode once!
3.) You get boss battle mode through SSE
4.) Who doesn't like the awesome cinematics
5.) All lists have to be divisible by 5 (its a rule.) So..for the 5th reason lets just say that SSE wins because it's...SSE

 

[CrazyShaman]

SSE with my mate on the ninth.

 

[lxmsheepy]

I take it a lot of you are going to be playing by yourself or co-op at first. After I get Brawl, which will not be the 9th unfortunately =(, Im having a Brawl party a few days later. Im going to be unlocking the character as fast as possible. What's the point in having the party if people cant play the characters they want? After that, Im playing through SSE with all the characters just b.c I want too.

Same as this guy.

 

[illphil]

Gonna do SSE on Normal or Hard. Something a little easy because I just wanna play through it first without struggle and beat it some other time on a harder level when I'm better

 

[Lovage 805]

For those of you that haven't played the game, sorry but SSE is pretty boring and very easy. It is fun when you're with your friends, but its still repetetetetetetive.

 

[Zevox]

Neither, actually. I'm going to use the third means of unlocking the characters to get them - classic mode, 100 man Brawl, etc. I find those more enjoyable than doing a ton of Brawl matches, and I want to have the "Challenger Approaching" screens and have to fight to unlock the characters, so I don't want to do SSE until I have all (or nearly all at least) of the characters unlocked. I may go ahead and do SSE for a few - R.O.B. comes to mind, since the third way for him is collecting 250 trophies, and I'm not sure how long that would take - but it won't be many.
