I played Brawl this weekend!

It's easy to say that you don't have to play it first to know that items are based entirely off of luck, which isn't a good thing. No items. If it didn't work for Melee, it won't work for Brawl.

Melee and Brawl are completely different games, yes-- but they're still both Super Smash Bros.



Oh, and watch my videos: http://youtube.com/user/Xsyven

He flew to Wichita instead, to see family or something like that. Who sees family over Brawl?

Ha, I chose to go chill with my rich brother who's funding half my mish. Plus it gave me an opportunity to completely trounce his old son in some serious smash. Let that be a lesson to 3 year olds everywhere.

I can still fly out next friday though *cough* Buzz *cough*

By the way, you never told me how Brawl jiggly handled. o_O

I'm not a Jiggy player... but he seems to "feel" basically the same. I'm having a harder time sleeping, b-airing with forward momentum, and his spin seems to have a lot less knock-back. My opinion there's a bad one though. :/

I've got my video recording stuffs setup to go tonight and tomorrow though. Anything we should test/record for now? I'm basically by myself here, but I've got a few scrub friends coming and going.

Falco's LL on hills:
A hill doesn't affect the knockback of the laser, so you won't get stuck and will eventually rise/lower out of the laser's path.

Solo IC's FS:
Popo's Final-smash isn't any different that without Nana.

If you need someone who knows a bit more as to what they're doing, lemme know. I always have evenings free XP (except Mondays. Curse you mondays...)

Her fair was buffed, making her WOP aerial her forward-air. She feels basically the same floating. She can still do rising and ... unrising puffs. I think her puffs might be tad shorter.

Rest has been nerfed to the point of the same uselessness as Ness's PK Flash. It's nothing but a damge builder. Sing works the same way too. I didn't use her uair or dair much.

That's the only video I recorded while using the 'puff. Sportin' her new green costume. :D

What?! Doing this on a Wednesday? Nooooooo.... Why can't it be Friday or Saturday (Sunday works for ME, too, [but perhaps not most others])? :(

I'll see if me and a friend or two wants to head up there. Mind sending me directions just in case? Just from the exit that you're supposed to get off heading north works ^^

Devin's too busy preparing to live Brawlless for two years. I doubt we'll actually make it up there.

Yeah, it's random and very last minute. I'm sorry. I'm still planning on the 29th-1st to pack Brawl with me somewhere everyone can play though. I should have work off, but it's not 100% yet, and I don't have a place to take it. I'd much rather go somewhere other than my apartment since it's tiny, but if I have to I'll just invite everyone there.

Also... Sunday might be possible... but it might not. I'll let yah know... Thursday night-ish? I should know if/when I can then.

I didn't think you guys would come, that's a long ways to drive for just a couple hours of gaming, and it was extremely short notice. I thought I'd let you know just in case you did end up coming though, cuz it'd suck to get all the way up here THEN not be able to find the place.



What's her beef with Pit, Buzz? (just curious)



I'll PM you, Xtinction. Were you guys the ones in Sprigville I just talked to on the phone? CdBobo should know where to go if that's the case, and you have my phone number. I'll PM just in case anyway. We'll see you guys when you get here!

Here's my guess: I think she is planning on maining Pit, and doesn't want Buzz to also main Pit, because then Buzz might overshadow her in the Pit department. :)

Oh man oh man, this could be the last fun I have for two years. So here's my sichiation-- if the family is gone next friday, I am so totally cruising up there! (assuming you guys are brawling it up next friday) If it isn't, well... I'm screwed T_T. Brotherly love, its a good thing.

How far is highland from SLC anyways, and just how does game and watch tickle your fancy Layne?

Can we possibly do it Saturday? I'm busy Friday night XP

Anyway, my thoughts on brawl: It's awesome, in all reality, but nothing more than a 8.5/10 in my book. Why? Well, for one, Pit's stage. Every time you attack, you're practically bound to hit the stage, which makes you slow down a touch. That has always been annoying to me. If it was maybe half the slowdown time that it gives, then I'd probably be fine with it. Another thing is how unbalanced the final smashes are. Yes, Marth's is cheap, so is Sonic's, and somewhat Ike's. And not to forget Falco's. Those are the main ones I remember. Marth should not be a one hit kill when they're at 0%, and Sonic's shouldn't be a three hit kill. Ike, I'm not sure about the 0-death rate, but from the looks of it, if it does land, you're practically screwed. Falco's... 'nuff said.

Another thing that is just a personal bother is how "shiny" everything is. Having a "dull" effect is good, but that seems to be tossed out the window really. I can't comment on how 1v1s are, seeing as we only did FFAs, which is always tons of fun, especially when you're running from Snake's FS, and decide to get the other player's involved in the fire XP

Good things though? It looks lovely, the music is amazing, and there's just so much depth to it, even with the loss of L-cancel and wavedash. I could very easily get into the competitive scene here just because I don't really use the technique of wavedashing that much, if at all, so in a way people are "brought down" to my level. Oh, and I love that characters have their own entrances again ^^

Yeah. Unless they decide to remodify some things for the US release. All I know, the main FS that needs to be fixed is Sonic's, Falco next in line. Shorten the time for Falco or a slower flying rate, and half the speed on Sonic, half the time, half the damage, make it a touch slower, make it harder to turn around, ANYTHING. Those are the main two FSs that need to be fixed, then things would be a bit more balanced.

Yeah, I really don't like Final Smashes for competitive play. I still want to play around with items before I decided if I personally want them in or out. The levels in this game are UBER cool, and so much ****ing fun, just like the Final Smashes. But they also share the same cons as well; a LOT of levels are going to need banning. I actually now think customs levels might be the way to go. It will be a ***** to distribute and whatnot, but there needs to be a lot more neutral stages than there are for competitive play IMO.

Also... I'm learning how ****ty my capture software is. I've heard VirtualDub is good, so I might have to switch over from that. I was also using my computer while it was recording, so that could be the problem in its entirety, I'll test that out. I can already tell I've lost a lot of last night's photage, but there should still be some that's salvageable.

As for Brawl next weekend, it's still not 100%. It's more-than likely, but not final. IF plans come to fruition, we should be set to play both Friday AND Saturday.

::EDIT::
Man... the boards have been running REALLY badly for me lately. Even the quick-reply's messed up now. Hopefully things will fix up once the games out.

::EDIT-EDIT::
Oh, and Sunday's going to be a "no," sorry PC. :/ If a night happens to open up for me in the next two weeks, I'll try to let you guys know, but most likely the 29th-1st is going to be all I can manage.

Notice Tsuteto is only mentioning ones that were used on him at the fest as being overpowered. Giga Bowser is of that caliber, but he's not complaining about that, as I doubt people were playing with Bowser that much (no Gojira being the reason, LOL).

And I don't mind it not being on Sunday. I would prefer Saturday over it, anyway. And since it's both Friday AND Saturday, it's even better!
