With a ranking system, a lot of noobs will be losing and turn off their wii right before you win. It's better not to have one.

Excuse me I heard this a couple times in here and I'm not sure if anyone cleared this up but...



You can pick the stage if you look at the Player 3 box it says picking stage. I asume it may have a similarity to the Mario Kart DS selection of stages online where the one with the most votes wins or one is chosen at random if they are all tied.

I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw this update.

I'd love to exchange Wii Friend Codes, but...

Where do I find that? =P

I think people need to reserve criticism until the "future updates" regarding Online are announced. There's obviously more to it than we know...

I really hope that there's an option to limit the players to two or to turn off items. Friend codes work in theory, but no one's ever on when I'm on and I often have to schedule a game a week in advance.

I'm also in favor of rankings, not so much so that you can get on a leaderboard, but for matchmaking. There should be an option to look for opponents according to skill level.

Just to point out, once Brawl comes out I'm pretty much quitting WoW (which I play right now) to focus on playing SSBB online. So you can expect me to be on alot.

I wouldn't doubt Sakurai about the Wins/Losses yet; we still have our VS. Records section. I believe he will make it so based on the characters you play with online it will record your Wins/Losses from online matches in your game but won't be displayed online. It means less stress on the servers to keep track of all those numbers, I believe your Win/Loss record will be with the characters you play as but they have their own individual win/loss record like they do in Melee.

Just go look at the VS. Records in Melee and then come back here and tell me whether they'd do it like that or not. I don't see why not! This way, only you know your Wins/Losses based on the characters' Wins/Losses.

Makes sense to me, he just meant they wouldn't be displayed online, much like MSC (Mario Strikers Charged has your total Wins/Losses not displayed online, just your current Wins/Losses from that season).

Yeah, Smash does that. I used to play a few MMORPGs now and then, but I quit them all after I started playing Smash 64 online.

Notice how none of the pictures have items. It is possible that there could be no items. I mean, come on, items = more lag. As long as I can own people at random, have fun playing people on my level, and learning from more experienced players.

I need more wii friend codes. :p

I just remembered, I expect this game to have some sort of preset matches, like team battle, or even a way to save favorite match set ups.

To be truthful, the announcement of online play is the absolute best of all current updates to date. It just is. There was hinting of it originally...then the rumor that it wouldn't happen...and now, our prayers answered!

What's the issue with the the worldwide play? I mean, it would be nice to do regional and such, but there is still time for them to make adjustments. So, don't get your hopes down just yet. Also, wouldn't you rather not play people in an FFA game? I mean, I personally would rather just exchange a bunch of Friend Codes right here on Smash Boards... it's where we can find the most people to play against competitively anyways, right?

See the underlined text.

'Nuff said right there. Communities like the SWF exist for a purpose, after all.

Xbox Live isn't a FREE ONLINE PLAY SERVICE.

Seriously, guys. Sakurai told us no ranking. We got ranking in the better of the two modes. We already got more than we were promised. AND it's a completely free online play service. And you guys still aren't happy?!

This is why I could never be a teacher.

lol

all i'm saying is...your lucky your getting any of these updates AT ALL people.....Sakurai couldv'e just let you rot your ungrateful a$$es and make you wait until Dec 3. but NO...out of the goddness of his japanese heart, he allowed us to see the inner workings of the game we yearn for for so long and you still aren't happy?

This is why i could never be a motivational speaker.

nintendo must have a legion of 5-year od sves hidden around sumwhere, because they're just getting ridicuous with this protection thing.
I've seen 8-year-olds cussin out people on xbox live.

Besides i doubt any sexual predators will be so desperate that they will buy a wii, hook it up to the net, play onine, jot down the name of a kid called Timmy who has 12W and 8L. Then proceed to travel to whatever country hes in and track down one of 100's of kids called timmy.
"Yea, um, im lookin for timmy, he has a 12 to 8 record in smashbros, u heard of him?"

I mean come on

Online is official now. But we have to remeber to keep or senses or we could end up doing things we don't mean. Like for example starting riots.

Let's keep it cool in the streets. I mean that.

Meh, I don't even care that I can't speak to or know whom I'm facing in random online matches. Most of the time I don't give a crap anyways... I just hope I can play 1v1, don't care if items are in use or not, just want to pummel some others in 1v1, free for alls are a bit to hectic although I will play them if it's my only option.
