will wifi spoil the surprises???

[bluebomber22]

I think it should either be the unlockable you get after unlocking the last character, or Toomai's idea from above. I personally love the excitement of the "New challenger approaching!'' screen. If its online is like strikers, im not gonna go online until i get every thing

 

[Loooooni]

@loooooni
thats a good idea, except for 4 player matches, what if only 1 person had unlocked everything, while everyone else unlocked everything. that would suck.
i still like the idea of it being the last unlockable thing, or once you get the last character, it come automatically.

thatswhy they should also have s systm where the host can boot u if he or she sees fit example u dont have stuff unlocked but everyone else in the party does this would aslo give that one person more ensentive to get stuff unlocked

 

[Toomai]

Booting is bad unless someone catches a cheater. It leaves the booted person feeling rejected and unwanted, which is not good when you (being Nintendo) want them to play as much as possible.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

Sakurai said he's revealing all of the characters before Brawl is released - there's no surprise to be ruined.

Where and when did he say this? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of surprising us?

 

[pikachun00b7]

Our surprise is a half a second of ZOMG!1 Who cares?

 

[Meta_Owns_Ur_Dad]

Lol, when i get brawl i'll get all the characters and practice a lot so when i go online i wont die... as fast...

 

[bivunit94]

I don't have a source - but i am 100% sure that Sakurai said that due to the internet, we'll all know all of the unlockable characters within a day, so he's going to reveal all the characters before the game comes out.

 

[Loooooni]

that doesnt mean they will be booted from every game just games where people dont want to play without unlocked people and besides if u get booted there wii be so many other games u could probobly join

 

[bivunit94]

That usage of "Wii" as a play on words was really, really bad.

 

[Loooooni]

it doesnt say wii it says will

on another note i think sakuri will think of something so it really doesnt matter what i think

 

[Katy Parry]

so true.......

 

[MetalMetaKnight]

Well, i hope that doesnt happen. I also want to figure out who am i VS.ing when" DANGER: NEWCOMER APPROACHES"

 

[Mic_128]

I'm really suprised at that for Strikers, would have expected what happens in Mario Kart, where you can go online and vs people who have stuff you haven't unlocked.

 

[The Bino]

I was watching stuff bout Strikers on gametrailers.com and they were saying stuff bout everything being unlocked, they said they wanted everything to be unlocked online so everyone can enjoy the game fully right off the bat, and they said that if you want to get better at that char you use online that's unlockable you would have to unlock it in single player and get better there lol but i think it was interesting that Strikers did that

 

[Toasty!]

I'm not going online until every character is unlocked.

Screw Stages, lul. And, Sakurai might reveal every character on the webpage anyway.

 

[Mic_128]

He said he would

And it's just unlocked for online play? That's better than just regularly unlocking it i guess.

 

[h2ownage]

I went through precisely the same ordeal you stated. However, I was thrilled when i saw Diddy Kong (I love him) in Strikers, which is, by the way, a positively great game.
That being said I would be most dissapointed if the same principle was implemented into Brawl, seeing all the characters without doing all the hard work to unlock them myself.
With Strikers there are only three unlockable characters, thus the same anticipation of unlockables is much less as opposed to Brawl.
I propose they release Brawl and wait for perhaps a month for people to unlock characters and levels themselves and then release the online play. This way everybody would be more familiar with the game and also not spoil the surprises of the new characters.

 

[Lemon Drop]

Didn't read hardly any of the topic:

It could be like Mario Kart DS, where only the characters you have unlocked are playable for you but if your opponents have them unlocked then they can use them.

 

[Scyther3176]

Didn't read hardly any of the topic:

It could be like Mario Kart DS, where only the characters you have unlocked are playable for you but if your opponents have them unlocked then they can use them.

But then they might pick a character you haven't unlocked, still spoiling the "OMG NO WAI!"

I think the game should detect which characters BOTH players have unlocked. So they both have the same options of characters to use. Although, a person may main with a new unlocked character. There does not seem to be much way around this.

 

[Mic_128]

But then they might pick a character you haven't unlocked, still spoiling the "OMG NO WAI!"

Which is why you don't play online if you don't want to see spoilers.

 

[DeeDoubleU]

I say they could do it this way...

When going up against a character you don't have and/or don't know about, their characters are either completely black like the Challenger Approaches thing or, if they bring fighting polygons characters back, they could swap the model for the fighting polygon team character.

 

[THK]

Strikers is out already?

As for the topic, that's pretty much it, don't go online if you don't want to be spoiled.

 

[Phaazoid]

if you go online, check the website, or do a google search, even the day after brawl comes out, you are going to see spoilers, no matter what.

 

[DonkeyPirate]

well, if online isnt unlockable, I can see them making it to where say I have EVERYTHING unlocked, and I am playing against a guy who just bought the game and went straight online, I would not be able to use anything but default characters and stages. It would kinda suck for those players who wanna use a secret character, but they could get over it for a match. Now if that same new guy unlocked say metaknight, then I would be able to use him.

 

[WFL]

Here's a way to fix this, if you play against someone with a character you do not yet have then they can choose it but you can't. If you manage to beat them the character is added to your character roster. Nice and easy. Although this would lead to friends giving each other characters but that isn't a problem.

Same thing happened in Metroid Prime Hunters which lead to me playing a lot more online.

 

[Binx]

I dont know about you but I would prefer to have everything onlocked if I went online, I dont want to beat story mode 15 times play for 20 vs hours and all that crap to get characters I want to use. I want to have everything and play the game with other real people.

 

[Caael]

Strikers is out already?

As for the topic, that's pretty much it, don't go online if you don't want to be spoiled.

Muhahah, Britain bites back at America. We got Strikers before you

 

[THK]

Muhahah, Britain bites back at America. We got Strikers before you

Now THATS a first. I guess EU has to get SOME love.

 

[SWORDMASTER66]

It won't be a problem for me because when I get Brawl, I will refuse to play online or go on the net to look for Brawl related things. I will start doing those 2 things after I unlock everything.

 

[Loooooni]

^^^that will be basically what i will do unless i play a year straight and still dont have everything

 

[wazgood]

why dont they make it so that everything is unlocked in a certain order, and you get a number that represents # of unlocked things each time you go online, and you can only play people with lower/same # as you?

 

[Speedsk8er]

Do you guys have any idea how ****ing ******** having Online as an unlockable would be? If I wanna play online, I wanna play online RIGHT THEN. I don't wanna go through a bunch of preliminary bull to get it.

How about this? If you beat a player using a character that has unlocked a character that you haven't used yet, it'll unlock it for you. OR(not so rational), make so that you don't face players that have characters you don't have.

This unlockable online thing would piss alot of people off. ALOT

 

[cless-mint]

I think that's a great idea. That way it won't hinder anyones suprises or online playing time since people that have the same stuff can play against each other. Just as long as online isn't unlockable I'll be fine. If I have to, I'll unlock everything first then go online.

 

[NiRV7iQ]

I'm hoping Sakurai will just release all the characters on smashbros.com so we don't have to worry about **** and just play.

 

[Eaode]

it's not like you have to confine one player to the unlockables of the other. Each player has their own select screen, what characters they can't or cannot use. If you don't want the OMG factor spoiled, don't go online.

 

[Pip]

This unlockable online thing would piss alot of people off. ALOT

QFT.

The online functionality is probably going be a major advertised feature of the game and it will definitely be listed on the box. They would never make players jump through hoops to access such an essential element of the game. There will always be people out there who aren't very good at the game and have a hard time unlocking things - it would upset to great of a portion of their potential customer base if they were essentially denied access to a feature like that.

 

[Mic_128]

He already said he will.

Now THATS a first. I guess EU has to get SOME love.

PAL teritories also got MK: DD first too.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Muhahah, Britain bites back at America. We got Strikers before you

That makes me sad.


BTW,that quote in your signiture,just remove it.Ever since I first said that people have been using it too much.It's annoying. >_>

Anywho,I have no problem with getting spoiled.I will still be suprised just by seeing them,then unlocking them.But i'm preety sure that smashboads will be covered with spoler tags come brawls release.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

*disregaurd this post*

 

[Toomai]

But i'm preety sure that smashboads will be covered with spoler tags come brawls release.

It'll be covered with the spoilers. Don't expect the tags, especially from newbies and spammers.
