If Brawl had to be delayed one month, what could nintendo add that would make that O.K. for you? I would want more community based online system (i.e. leaderboards rankings system no friend codes)Or a demo.(MUST READ THIS) Oh and btw, it may be off topic, but today I was playing a level 6 mario just to get the feel of Melee again, and he edge teched!!

I don't know, it'd have to be something truly amazing to justify another god**** delay. We've been waiting for nearly 2 years I mean seriously. And we've already been let down once before, so it'd take alot to justify another delay for me.

Making the gameplay better even in the smallest way is worth waiting. People always forget that the longer we wait, the more fun we will have in the long run.

Well I know a lot of people just recently joined the Brawl bandwagon a couple months ago or sometime last year. But alot of us have been following this game since word of its development first spread. I know personally I feel like I've been waiting for a long time when it's only been almost 2 years.

A month wait would be justified if they find some way of greatly improving the gameplay. At this point, the game should have enough content.

It would be worth the wait if
-they greatly reduced online lag
-fixed serious imbalances that became apparent through testing

Probably other things too. The game appears to have a lot of content already. While more content is great, at some point you have to finish.

I agree with Coselm.
It's better to wait and get a game that is a close to perfection as possible than to rush recklessly for a release that isn't as it could have been.
If Brawl were delayed again, I would personally rest assured that it would end up an utterly epic game, Game of the Year of 2008, hands down.

I'd gladly wait another month for whatever reason. Mainly because I have a big deadline coming near the end of February, and Brawl will not help me make that, to say the least :p/

I have been waiting for quite some time too, a little more than a year now, and I also feel like it has been forever.

But in the end, I would wait 1 more year if that meant the game was going to be that much better. (well... maybe not a year but you get the point.)

Well yeah I could tolerate another month. But anything over that would become a little frustrating in my opinion. =/

It would be worth it to me if ALL characters in Melee were in Brawl, and the clone characters would have totally new movesets.

That, or put in characters from Tales of Symphonia (Lloyd or Kratos) or from Naruto (Haku) or from KH (Sora).

At this point, nothing. It's too close to the release date in Japan to delay it for gameplay issues. I could see another delay happening if they find some fault with the packaging, but that would only postpone the release a couple of weeks at the most.

I've been waiting since G4 brought back the Trailer 2 years ago.....i finally have a Wii and am ready. But if one month made a good difference(does not mean adding in clones) then it'd be worth it

Skull kid from Majora's Mask (with the mask, of course!)

Otherwise...a Young Link from Majora's Mask where your up B makes you Zora-Link (would play like Captain Falcon), down B makes you Goron-Link (would play like the *new* Bowser), side B makes you Deku-Link (would play like Kirby). His final smash would turn him into
Fierce-Diety Link!

I've got it now!

The only thing that would justify a one month delay for me would be if they had some extra work to do AND if they released a playable demo similar to the E4All demo, but with customizable settings instead of the 2 minute timer. =D

It would take one of two things to justify another month...

1) Ensuring that the characters I WANT in the game are playable. Screw Geno, Krystal, and what everybody else wants.

2) That the game will be released on Wii and also coincide with the launch of Sega Dreamcast 2, alongside a brand new (and GOOD) 3D Sonic Adventure game, Shenmue 3, and Power Stone 3 with massive Godly online play.

I don't mind another month or two. If they made Goroh a playable as well as fix Roy to be his own and made an add of one more third-party who called in the last minute, then I'd be cool. (Make Eirika in Brawl too, Micaiah is cool but Eirika is awesome.)

Its seemed so long that waiting isn't that bad. We've got Smash Boards but when the game comes out, this place is going to be empty except for newbs and hardcore tournament players.

I'd say that they can take as long as they need, as long as they give us a demo. Then, everyone wins. No one complains and the game will be the best if can be. :)

Now that you mention it, I could not possibly want any major changes to how Brawl looks right now.

Though, since this thread is about our deep dark desires, I wouldn't mind the Master of Unlocking to join the playable fray. :p

I dont need justification. I'm perfectly fine with a delay. Delay clear into Q4 '08 or Q1 '09 if you want. I want to have more time to play other games.
