Wafa? Wefe? It's WiFi baby!

but if he doen't have Metroid prime its pretty much a waste of time isn't it?

 

[Twintail]

Well all I can say is that I hope its a good polished online system and I look forward to playing everyone here!

 

[axemangx]

After the Captain Falcon, Jiggs, and Ness update, I'm sure Sakurai will do the Character Screen, just with all the starters.


I'm pretty sure Sakurai wouldnt exactaly care if they know how many characters are in, because it still adds suspense to see who gets in and who takes the stinky cheez.

If he doesn't own Metroid Prime 3 he is a FAILURE AT LIFE

I'm extremely disappointed by the lack of customization. I don't like 4 way FFAs and I'd rather not have random explosions everywhere.

 

[Eaode]

I actually do have MP3, but the token thing isn't really important to me.

I just hope Aran is right, 'cuase I'm probably still gonna put in all these friend codes lol

 

[Icarus Descent]

Finally Wi-Fi i have been waiting for this yay

Put them in anyways. They let you do a few things. Some of which I havnt figured out yet. The Mii parade works off them, as well as sending messages to others through the wii message board and now, Metroid Prime 3 friend vouchers.

With friends, you can brawl any way you like.

I assume the same will be true to some extent for anonymous fights.

 

[raphtmarqui]

Dunno if this has been said yet..but I think that those are all the starting characters. Or at least that would make sense. Luigi has always been an Unlockable, same with Jiggs. I can see Captain Falcon being unlockable again.

Thats obviously not the starting roster screen

 

[Fanewgie]

Okay...

This is almost definitely a staged screenshot.

If it was truely a shot of the roster, do you think they'd be showing Samus/Zamus and all of the Pokémon seperately? I'd be willing to bet we'll get ATs and Subspace bosses as icons too. Heck, maybe they'll finally bring an emblem creation to a Wii title.

They staged the screenshot so that it would deliberately not show us anyone who's not yet confirmed, even if they're on the edge of confirmation.

Don't read into it too much.

Exactly.QTF.

...So you could use any of them for your icon?

I agree that the screenshot is deliberately spoiler-free and doesn't indicate the starting roster, but that's not any evidence to that fact at all.

"deliberately" is the key word here

 

[Jossy]

<Jossy> 1 thing tho
<Jossy> if you dont have a character or stage unlocked
<Jossy> but the other player has
<Jossy> ... what will happen?
<Jossy> will it be possible?
<[Root]nate_825> I was thinking the same thing
<Jossy> this means spoilers
<shyo> good question
<[Root]nate_825> well for me, I would unlock all the chars and stages mostly first
<[Root]nate_825> but some people will go straight to multi
<Jossy> same here
<[Root]nate_825> they will probably have all the char unlocked at beginning
<Jossy> but i would go to multi too just to check it out

I heard they screwed this up with Strikers Charged pretty badly. Hopefully they don't repeat that mistake. Though, you can't tell someone they can't use a character because another player doesn't have it unlocked.

So really... if you go straight to multiplayer, that's your own fault if things become unlocked or if you spoil things for yourself.

 

[Takeshi245]

This has got to be the best update so far from Smash Dojo. Take that, doubters!! If Brawl doesn't have a voice chat, I can always improvise. Now I can rest assured that my online clan will battle in Brawl.

interesting thought....but i would guess that characters isn't a big issue, but stages might be a little TOO reavealing....but idk what to think tho...

 

[Kelexo]

Finally, people will stop whining about this.

No, it just gave them several different things to whine about.

I, myself, have a personal question: Why no online ranking system? Not because I necessarily care or feel it's a MUST...but why not?

It seems to be that all you need is a computer that holds numbers. I'm not sure how complicated it can get.

There probably is a reason, and thats all fine, but I'm just curious as to why. Maybe they just don't have the time, and it takes a good amount of time to configure? If so, I can understand.

 

[whiterob]

I loved this update. No voice chat? Good, I don't want any little tards yelling in my ear. No Rankings? Good, less hax and disconnecting. The only problem I have is lag. It can't be that hard to get rid of lag considering even the XBOX 1 seemed to play pretty smoothly. Then again, the online play is free, so I'm not gonna cry my eyes out.

 

[aran_fusion]

I honestly dont care about spoilers, we're going to find it all out in the end anyways.

Takeshi! haven't seen you since we were arguing with the Peach girl....whats up?

 

[CodeRed]

Does anyone know if it would be possible to have all of the stats stored not on the Wii, but on a website? Bungie.net, for example.

 

[Fanewgie]

It just seems to me that they have their priorities pretty straight. They knew online was going to be destroyed by latency, just like Sakurai admitted, so they'd probably rather put their time into things they can better control.

Observing the posts closely, it's easy to read what their intentions are. Like it's clear as day that it was their plan to have Gamecube be the control method; every screenshot with some kind of instruction on-screen is done with the Gamecube button images.

Sakurai was never excited about the idea of online, he just promised it because so many people begged for it. I'm not really surprised that what we got isn't full-blown.

Although honestly, what we did get was both more than we were promised and way more than good enough. The only complaints you'll hear out of me is about the people who think it's not good enough.

I love you. Logical thinking ftw.

A lot of DS games would automatically track your stats on the official WFC website... so it's not out of the question. But Sakurai was originally against the idea of ranking at all, so I wouldn't get your hopes up for much more.

I AM SOO PUMPED AND PRIMED FOR THIS! IMAGINE, FINAL SMASHING ONLINE!!!! WOWZA!

[aran_fusion]

I just have high expectations, I hope those 'other wifi services' include voice, a lobby, or simply just a way to communicate.

 

[Nietendodude]

YES WIFI!!! All of prayers have been answered!!!

 

[specialsauce]

finally we can all stopworryin about wther brawl will be oniline, plus we can now look forward to hearing about additional game modes and uses for onlinein brawl its gonna be awesome

 

[WoapGang]

Sakurai was never the biggest of fans when it came to Wi-fi...like Fanewgie said, its only because so many people came to expect it due to the sucess of the previous games

 

[CodeRed]

i dont really know what you mean....

Bungie.Net stored info from matches played on Halo 2. You could see kills, deaths, who you played, where it was played, etc.

As I said before, I am not sure how this works, but does anyone that does know a thing or two about this know if it is possible.

 

[DainBramaged]

ahh....I can see it now........

 

[Kooichi]

I was so HAPPY when I saw this update! ^_^ 100th update FTW! XD

Gamecube Controller can be used
Awesome Online Play
now all I need is Falco playable and I'm complete :D

 

[Stryks]

THANK YOU GOD

 

[SiD]

THANK YOU GOD

YOUR WELCOME

 

[leefan]

YES!!!!!!! ****, this is prolly the best news i got for a few months... now we just hafta see if advanced techs are still in, and all will be happy!

 

[METROID MAN]

YOUR WELCOME

Hi-OOOOOOOOOOH

 

[Megavitamins]

Well since alot of people are looking at this, instead of making a new thread I will use this one. I was wondering if your wii has to be onloine enabled to have wifi? Thanks in advance.

 

[Conker1]

YOUR WELCOME

God can't spell?


Anyway, I don't think there will be a big problem with finding who you're playing.

People could just set up a Teamspeak or Ventrillo server and set up a match over IRC or something.

 

[Stryks]

Yeah thats what sux, not knowing who ur facing, I mean it wouldnt be too hard, MSC does it well... think about it, I could be facing Ken, PC Chris, Isai and I wouldnt even KNOW IT!!
