What you wished Brawl was (but probably never will be):

This thread is for posting your highest (even if they're your craziest) hopes for Brawl.

Mine:
  • Be able to choose either to rank your matches or not, you choose whether you want more disconnects and fame, or no disconnects and no fame. Besides, using the matching-by-skill option I explain below, disconnects should be minimized because everyone should get what they want.
  • Halo 3-like online features mentioned in another thread
  • High-quality blue-tooth headsets either packaged with the game or available separately
  • If you're wearing a headset, your character should be able to, too.
  • If Mario controlled by someone with a headset is on the right side of the screen, the voice should come from the right speaker. Pretty simple.
  • You should be able to customize your own hit-off-the-screen cries with a recorded sound, and be able to assign prerecorded sounds to the preset text messages, as well. Anyone with voice turned see the text instead of hearing the noise.
  • You should be able to hear anybody, but be able to mute them as well. If someone is muted often enough, they get a warning. If they have to get another warning, their "priveleges" are revoked and their screaming voice is removed from all our ears.
  • You should also be able to create a list of players you don't want to play with.
  • There should be online 2v2 and 3v1 (with one player extra-large) or 1v1v2, and all of that.
  • Some co-op event matches should be completable online.
  • Silly voice-changers that would let you sound like a fantastical italian plumber, and the rest.
  • A ranking system that would allow you to choose people "much better than you", "a little better and a little worse than you", or "much worse than you" when making random matches. You can choose "bring on anyone!" but then the match won't be ranked. Neither will "much better" or "much worse" matches
  • All the features of "special brawl" available for random match ups online.
  • Multiple variations of characters. What I have in mind is something like, choosing your character, choosing one of four or eight colors, choosing whether your character is cel-shaded (Paper Mario or Wind-waker Link and the rest), and choosing what costume they'll actually have and what peripherals (Dr. Mario, with the choice of being Paper Dr. Mario, or red-tunic'd Wind-waker Link with the fierce diety mask, and a bluetooth headset! lol)
  • Pokemon Trainer should be able to use his Pokemon to fetch Pokeballs whose Pokemon would go to a PC and be available to switch out as one of the three Pokemon next time Pokemon Trainer plays.
  • Krystal should be in Brawl.
  • Two sword-fighting characters should actually meet blades more often.
  • I hope when playing online or 1p the camera will be closer to the action surrounding your character by default.

Can't think of anything else right now.

Halo is a shooter and you have to pay for the online system.

Dont add them to your friendslist and the possibity to play against a random player again is very low.

This all is still possible.

I dislike how practically ALL your points have to do with online.

Anyways..what Dylan said. Melee, with cool new menus, new stages and new characters.
Items can die.

If I were in charge, if I were to change Brawl...

  • I would first of all add the function to be able to download every character possible. If a third party company would want to release a special character for Brawl, how sucky and / or overpowered the character might be. The same goes for stages and items.
  • I would add stage hazards on every stage, except on Final Destination and Battlefield. Blows to be a tournament player, but it's my call.
  • Time limit for score matches would be upped to over 9000 minutes. Very fun when you're going for an all-nighter or a marathon, or just want to put it on auto-pilot for a few days.
  • Wavedashing would be officially be added as an official technique, and I would also add an instruction video to show these advanced techniques. Wavedashing would also be the only way to obtain that very special trophy.
  • I would let popular artists do the soundtrack, like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Of course, I would also allow the original music orchestrated and such, but the main focus is to draw as much gamers to this game.
  • Everybody is able to create their own characters and stages, maybe even items.
  • EVERYTHING from the previous games is unlockable. EVERYTHING. No exceptions.

I'm hoping Sakurai is really just a dirty, old, sadistic man and SSBB will be a homo-erotic FPS so I can see everyone's dreams crushed in an instant! >: D

1) I don't see any popular artists in that post.
2) You must hate Nintendo to wish this.

Lol! I almost believed you there..
Seriously, Britney and Timberlake drawing people TO the game? Ehh I dont think so...

My wishes would be:
  • Brawl released in Europe the 2nd December
  • 50 characters with at least 20 different franchises
  • Availability to put your own MP3 files to "My Music"
  • Downloadable content (characters, patches, stages, music etc)
  • A tournament mode in WiFi mode with Miyamoto, Hideo and Sakurai as competators playing as Mario, Snake and Kirby respectively.

I'd just play with the in-game music...It's part of the experience of fighting in a world with the gathering of characters that span Nintendo history

As someone mentioned, a spectator mode for Wifi where you could just watch other matches. Bored? Don't feel like playing at the moment? Set it to auto-spectator mode! It's like TV, but not as crappy (and no commericials!).


A character that can do Up B twice without landing (isn't disabled after doing the first), could Air Dodge twice, or both (Up B Up B, or Air Dodge Air Dodge, or even Air Dodge Up B). Particularly the double Air Dodge . I'd like to see the type of stategies that could come out of something like that. After all, we got characters with 5 mid-air jumps.

The game isn't being made just for you people who dont use items.


Hopefully Simon and Isaac in, I know Ridley and Olimar are. Simon more than Isaac, but both would be sweet.

Board the platforms to return

Personalized entrances.


That is all.

You know, a volleyball would actually be a pretty cool item. Imagine, you pick up the volleyball and toss it in the air. If it hits the ground or goes out of the stage's boundaries, all other players get 5% damage or so. But someone else can hit the ball into the air too, and then if it hits the ground or goes out of the stage's boundaries, all other players get 10% damage. But then another person can hit it, and another person, and another person... until you have 3 players scrambling to be the last person to have hit the ball so they don't get 150% damage. Of course, someone could easily be cheap and hit the ball directly off the stage, but it was just an idea I had...

...And as for talking to people online... what's the benefit? I mean, it's Super Smash Bros. I don't want to listen to people I've never met come up with witty puns when they KO me, or make obnoxious screams when they get KO'd. I just want to play with the knowledge that I'm playing real people. For me, I'd like WiFi to basically be Single Player with really good AI... at least when it's with strangers, not my friends. But that's just me.
