Budget Player Cadet_
Smash Hero
The way brawl+ is going, it could very well have national tournaments. It could draw a huge crowd in the states. Hell, it could have a massive tournament with the kind of attendance of the HOBO/WHOBO/Genesis tournaments. But that is as far as it gets. Brawl has a huge following internationally, in the states and elsewhere, and that's great. But Brawl+ does not have anywhere near this following. There are areas where, above all, the "tourney***s" are into it. And there are plenty in some areas. But you'll never find that in Europe.
Brawl+ is barely international. It is a struggle for a european player to install Brawl+ on their wiis. American users can simply plug and play Brawl+ with StackSmash; no modding necessary! PAL users have to use the homebrew channel. And their trouble doesn't stop there. There is not only a prepackaged NTSC version, but there is a program to install it all yourself. There is not a prepackaged version of PAL or NTSC-J. There is not a program to install it. The fact is, it is altogether far, far harder to set it up with no prior knowledge thereof if you are in europe.
People who run Brawlplus.net, I must admit-you did a **** good job of it. The site is great, the changes are well-made, the updates are nice and the videos on the front page kick ***. But it is for americans only. Merely following that is no help whatsoever if you are european. For example, it stands nowhere there that after a certain date, the PAL release was patched to be unhackable by geckoOS codes (meaning I spend a **** long time trying to do the impossible). The average person will not know what to do when presented with the PAL download page (I certainly didn't). And when problems show up with PAL games, who ya gonna call? The IRC has almost nobody who knows anything about that, PK is absent (on break?), and who else does PAL? I have had trouble after trouble for the last few months trying to install this on PAL, and it does not work, no matter what I do!
Then there's the problem with updates. So guys, when is RC5.1 coming for us poor fools playing in europe? How about 5.0? Even just the god**** stack smash or textures that work without a ton of difficulties?
Brawl+ has made some major progress. It's a great game, and has some awesome stuff. And the whole USA aspect is really well-polished. I could set up the NTSC version in under ten minutes without a hitch on my friend's console in the states. But you HAVE TO BRANCH OUT. One person working on the PAL version? Seriously, if I knew how to code, I'd work on it too! But I don't. So I wait for the crumbs thrown to me. And if it keeps going this way, there will not be a european brawl+ community. We need the same kind of support that the american guys get. And someone needs to learn how to hack here, dammit.
I'd post more, but I figure this is all there really is to say on that subject, and I need to go.
TL;DR: Support Europe more.

Since i think most of us (like me) has either a NTSC-U Brawl Disc or is playing a backup from it. It's ******** that i still can't play against people from america because of the lag >.<
. Although you could've, you know, looked yourself...
