The anticipation, excitement, speculation - will you miss it?

[Santini]

So the time is almost upon us. Brawl is only a few weeks away for the States, and just about a week away for Japan. And it's been a wild ride to say the least.

Although the game is obviously going to be indescribebly awesome, a part of me will miss all this excitement - anxiously checking Dojo every morning, hoping for your favorite character, speculating about leaks, arguing about a character's probability, etc...

So obviously I'll miss some of this pre-game anticipation, but will you?

 

[stepmaniers13]

I won't because I'll be playing the game instead.

The info we get anyway is just like with every other game out there so it won't affect me...

 

[Kittah4]

I will not miss it at all, and have been ready for it to be over for some time now. I'm under the weather at the moment, and it's compounding my frustration. This game has been way too long in the making. I'm more than ready.

 

[Scott667]

I'll miss the speculation and the dojo updates (apparently it will still update after the Japan release, but we'll already know everything by then).

I will not miss the 'Prophets' however. I find that people making fake leaks is annoying and so when the real roster is revealed I will no longer have to deal with them.

Unfortunately I live in Australia, meaning that I lose the thrill of checking the dojo, but I still don't get the game for another six months or so.

 

[brawlmaniac]

I'll be happy that the game is finally out. I will however, miss all the excitement, and anxiously checking the dojo every morning before I go to school.

 

[Titan05]

Not at all, it especially with all of our prophets.

 

[Reyairia]

QFT.
'Sides, we've been speculating for so long it kinda got annoying with all these flame/harassment wars.

 

[xIxGummyBearxIx]

My heart can't take much more of this.

 

[gigasteve]

*wipes tears* No more lies? Prophets? Japan-only demos? Oh the sadness.

But really, at a point, the wait was exciting, but now it's just plain boring (not the updates). I probably won't realize when Brawl comes out b/c i'm used to waiting.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Will I miss all the topics about leaks, rosters etc... mmm no. I will be so glad when the game comes out.. I have nothing to do to pass the time anymore.

The speculation continues on for another game I'm waiting for so I've got my fill for that. The excitement.. I'm not too excited right now but during the last few days I'm thinking I will get a lot more excited and will miss it then.

[Super Drybones]

Still waiting for that OMG WTF moment to come
Some hugh update before the game goes live
btw so many "mystics(funnier word to me" how will we know which roster is reatl(waiting game)

 

[Banjodorf]

I will not miss the speculation, and I will DEFINITELY not miss all of these "prophets"

Im tired of seeing "Omg tha reel roster??" threads EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I will be glad to just come to the boards to discuss the characters, their playstyles, how to get better with them,

Watching new combo videos, seeing what the pros can do with Olimar and PT, and the rest. It will all be very, very exciting, and I look forward to this new chapter of SWF's life.

Smash is upon us. Let us leave the past behind us and embrace the new era of SWF.

(Oh and Ill be too busy mastering Olimar and Squirtle anyway, good-bye speculation!)

 

[Arshen]

Not really.

When Brawl comes out I give myself a few days to unlock everybody. THEN I will miss all the anticipation and excitement...None of the speculation though..

 

[IWANTHOTDOG]

Yeah I'll miss it, just like with a bunch of other games I go crazy for(but not as much as Brawl). Everyday In school I talk with my friends about that day's update and other Brawl things.

 

[GreenKirby]

No. Because excitement, anticipation, and speculation brought their ********, incested sibling called 'stupidity.'

 

[specialsauce]

hell no! Once the game is out and in my wii the excitment will quadruple! as for the speculation who the hell would miss that ****! seriously its all bs cant wait till the game comes out so we can play it and find out exactly goodies are inside=P

 

[Igneous42]

Yeah I will to an extent there is no game thats as fun to talk about and predict things about as smash.

 

[Krell]

No.
10char


But seriously, I can see what you are saying OP. I will definitely miss checking Dojo when I wake up (or often before I go to sleep), I'll miss all the character support theories, and I'll miss most of all the uproarious prophets.

 

[pud22]

not at all, ill actually be glad when its all gone.

 

[Master WGS]

I was thinking about this myself the other day... Though slightly different.

The Brawl updates interested me. They gave me something to look forward to. It's fun to get all hyped up about the characters/items/stages/etc, and it's exhilarating when you get a really good update (Sonic and Pokemon Trainer announcements made those entire days rule).

Now, though I'll sorta miss the excitement, I DO think the game will be able to live up to my hopes and be really awesome. I doubt I'll think about it too much, but I think it'll be an adjustment not going to the Dojo everyday for an update.

 

[Oldskool]

Nope, good riddance to this garbage.

 

[UtopiaXD]

I won't because I'll be playing the game instead.

LOL your sig is from Eternus, great song by the way ^_^

Anyway on topic, a part of me always misses awaiting a game release and talking about it. Especially brawl, but honestly these forum and every other forum is filled with trolls, prophets, arguments, and lots of hate towards characters. This results in alot negative topics, and discussions. This has got to stop and I don't enjoy any of it and once the game is released I will end. When the boards were at peace it was fun, now its not. End of story, gimme brawl already.

 

[Santini]

As they say, anticipation is often better than the thing itself.

And unfortunately, that's how Brawl might be for me because my expecations are SO high.
Plus, it's really fun to speculate about Brawl everday.

 

[RedMage8BT]

The wait stopped being exciting December 3, 2007. I just want the **** game already.

 

[UltimateShinigami]

I'll be so glad to see the looks on peoples faces when characters they don't want are on the roster anyway. I don't have any favorites that i'm looking forward to so it doesnt matter to me what the final roster is, but all the know-it-alls having to stuff if will be great.

I won't miss anticipation though because I hate waiting

By next saturday it'll be out of my system because we'll know all there is to know most likely

 

[Cubelarooso]

No. End of story.

 

[Habanero Pepper]

I don't think many will care, and those that do won't last but a couple of days with Brawl before forgetting all about it.

 

[Ridley22]

I will miss the DOJO, but not the pointless threads here. I've become accustomed to checking it every morning. I think I might actually check it after the game is released just out of habit.

 

[Oh Gibdo]

I'll miss the dojo, and the crazy excitement of learning about some major new info, but losing this isn't going to matter by Feb. 10th. Nothing will, I'll have BRAWL!!!!!

 

[The Red M]

Why the hell would I miss it? The reason we all are checking this is to find the definite answers and end the fake speculation and prophetic leaks. When its over then dare I say: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! So No I will not.

 

[StarFox64ftw]

the updates and thrill of pre-brawl will be replaced with the excitment of the actual game.

 

[shadowyoshi2345]

yeah, cause i guess i would miss not having brawl and to keep on speculating.......not

 

[AsbestosBlatant]

A thousand times no.

 

[Evil Yoshi 85]

Actually playing the game will feel better than speculating. But I will still miss it.

 

[Uoaei]

Yeah the prophets have certainly ruined much of the fun that was speculating. I'll probably remember community reactions to the DOJO!! updates when the website just updated.

 

[Baconater]

yea i've been more than ready. I'm foaming at the mouth yearning to play this game. MAKE IT COME OUT NOWWWWW

 

[Matt Silver]

No. I just want it to end.

 

[Dragothel]

Yeah I'll miss it for sure. This is the first game i've gotten really hyped up about, and the excitment and anticipation is really fun!

 

[Nicktendo]

I won't miss a second of it.... I'll have the game.

 

[Zarckoh]

Honestly no. I'll be more happy with the game anyway.
