SSBB Thread: IT'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[愛]

[Mecha Cow]

Yes, delays suck, don't they? I'm glad I don't live in Europe.

Seriously, who cares. This game is going to last for-f*cking-ever, one month more or less isn't going to make much of a difference.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I wouldn't mind one bit if it was a delay for quality. Its not. Its a delay for financial reports--nothing more.

Should have seen it coming though.

[Brodie]

I really ****ing hate the trend that TMB has shown over the last year I've bothered to pay attention to him. Utter stupidity defended by fanboy-ism, then when something happens, usually showing how backwards his favored company is, he turns coat real quick and talks so much ****ing ****.

I give it three days before he starts talking about how great nintendo is again.

[The Shelf]

Rawr-agh!!!11!1!pfargtl!!1!!

#$!@&*%#$@

Huagh! Spittle-fart! Grrr! I'm gonna eat pigeon heads!



Wait, what are we talking about?

Oh yeah, Brawl's gonna r0><0rz! w00t!

But in the meantime, I think I'll go re-continue that life I had going before I read this thread. After all, it's just a game....

[Peanut]

Damn...this really f*cking blows, but the last couple posts following TMB's outburst were pretty hilarious.

[Dr. Doom]

Because my good friend would have had to work the launch at Gamestop, this actually works out nicely for some plans we have that weekend. I'm sure I have plenty of gaming to keep me busy until then, anyways. I'm not really that upset.

[Ra]

The only good I see about this delay is that it gives me more time to think about the pros and cons for buying a Wii the play the damn thing. Besides, like Mecha said, this game is going to last for a long time. I can handle the wait.

I love Nintendo.

(I don't know who, but now you probably owe somebody $5).

Read this as if it were the song from Portal.

It's hard to not ask you for compensation.

Smash Brothers Dojo.
You do what you want, because you can.
For the pain of all of us,
except the ones still in bed.


But there's no sense crying over every delay,
We just keep on hoping 'til we finally play.
And the game gets done and you make a neat pun
For the people who still check your site.

I'm not even angry.
Who am I kidding? Yes, I am.
Mainly 'cause you said the game would come out:
3rd of December.
And I checked the updates every day.
And as they sucked it hurt because
I had to check every day.


Now these lame old updates finally got real good,
and in every morning, your site heightened my mood.
So I'm glad Brawl got pushed, otherwise it would be rushed
for the people who still check your site.

Go ahead and shaft me.
I think prefer a litte wait.
Maybe it will not be far way now?
Maybe February -
That was a joke. Haha. Fat chance.
Anyway, this game is great:
It's so exciting and cool.


Look at me still ranting when there's nothing to do.
When I look on this board it makes me glad I'm not you.
I'm addicted to fun, no matter what I'll still be one
of the people who still check your site.

And believe me I still check your site.
I'm playing Halo and still check your site.
I must recover and still check your site.
While others curse you I still check your site.
And when they kill you I'll still check your site.

Check your site...
Check your site.

Twilight Zelda transforming into Sheik? Tell me how much sense that makes? Aw well, I refuse to complain about anything with thighs that thick.

[Peanut]

Why does it f*cking matter? Zelda wouldn't have been an interesting Melee character with her Sheik transformation, so it's in. Big deal.

Every single place I've gone has the same bullsh*t.

"WAAH! THIS ISN'T CANON! ZELDA DOESN'T TRANSFORM INTO SHEIK IN TP! IT'S SO LAME, AND I HOPE THEY TAKE IT OUT!"

Zelda doesn't have a f*cking story and doesn't have any canon. The characters and plot-lines are nothing but a mess, and quite frankly, a joke. I really don't see why people care.

[Dr. Doom]

Based on the delay I was pretty sure when I went to go check the site that they'd be giving the fans an update they were waiting for (and that seems to have been the case).

Hey, it was a casual observation. I'm not complaining. Complaining that Smash Bros. isn't canon is like complaining about winning the lottery.

Oh, and Brawl just nailed a 40/40 in Famitsu.

[Dr. Doom]

Well, hot damn.

[Peanut]

They've also give perfect scores to FFXII and Nintendogs...so...you know.

And just in case anyone missed it, they updated all the character pages with special moves and final smashes.

Session Description:
One of the strengths of Nintendo is its great number of character franchises. SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL builds on this legacy by providing a unique experience for Wii, leveraging many popular characters from the history of Nintendo and beyond. However, integrating so many different characters, each with its own personality, is no easy task, especially when characters from other publishers are willing to join the brawl. The man behind SMASH BROS., Masahiro Sakurai, discusses how he has approached this unique game series.

Sakurai is an excellent speaker from what I saw during the Brawl unveiling at E3 two years ago, so this should definitely be an interesting discussion. I'm probably going to make a transcript from the video we get of the GDC lecture and make it into a mini-book to include inside the box with Brawl.

[Peanut]

I love how he's doing a postmortem before the game even gets released here.

[Deathknight]

Well, having a review for the game pretty much confirms the delay is BS. The game must be ready if it's been reviewed. Also, Melee had English and Japanese selectable on both versions so it can't be a translation issue. Stupid Nintendo, yes you are intentionally delaying this game to watch us suffer. Anyway, very excited that Sheik is back even though I bet she got nerfed really badly.

[Cure]

I think it's time to go on spoiler alert. The latest Famitsu or whatever has a 200-page strategy guide for Brawl, so te characters are bound to pop up soon. Spoiler tags, people, spoiler tags.
