There's been a f*ckton of matches played on my Wii, I haven't played 'em all. I'm going through the last 150 matches right now with low stamina and a flower hat. I wanna try all the characters so bad and I refuse to have to finish SSE to do so.

F*ck SSE.

But yes, you were right big time.

The Mario Kart wheel is full of fail.

Nintendo Wi-Fi is such a crock of sh*t. It took me 4:52 to play a 2:00 match.

... *sits in the emo corner waiting for June the 6th*

I'm feeling a bit nervous with online play now after what I've read here. I mean, you guys are at point D, and I'm at point W in terms of global positioning. That has to be a LOT of lag. Ah well. I guess I have a few freaks down my way that won't mind beating me up...

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-10-2008, 04:52 AM

Anybody notice that a lot of the unlockable Melee tunes have gotten a considerable buff? I point to Icicle Mountain for an example. The composition is exactly the same, but the whole song has been re-orchestrated with superior samples. Wonderful little detail there.

Well... I got the game yesterday, but just had my first go at it. Quite a game. I first went to Classic Mode, and got to, like Stage 10 (fighting Lucas, Pit and Olimar) with Dedede (figured I would try out a new guy, and picked him).
Then did a few '2-Player' rounds (just myself, to get the feel of some of the characters without getting bashed around by CPU guys).

So...why not just go to training?

The Shelf · 03-10-2008, 09:06 AM

Well, I picked up Brawl yesterday and played for about 8-9 hours. I spent about 3 of those hours playing the SSE with my brother. No, it is not very good, but frankly, I've never enjoyed playing any of the 1-player modes very much anyway except maybe target test. Anyway, we're about 38% through it, and we're really just doing it to get all the characters, but the cutscenes are cool. I never imagined they could drag out a simple story like this for so long, but oh well.

Anyway.... I had no problem spectating matches, but for the life of me, I couldn't get into a game at all. In all the pre-release reviews that I saw, they said the wi-fi worked fine with practically no lag, so I'm going to chalk it up as server overload for now and hope that it gets better over time. The same thing happened to DBZ:BT3 when it came out, and people complained about the wi-fi being really crappy, but it usually works fine if you play it now. So I wouldn't worry too much about the wi-fi, guys. Just give it a couple weeks for things to settle down and for Nintendo to improve the servers.

On another note, I've only unlocked 5 characters so far, but of all the ones I've played I'm genuinely surprised by Wario. I never thought I'd be very good with him, but he's really quite good. He feels like a cross between Luigi and Jigglypuff. I'm not normally a fan of toilet humor either, but I have to admit it is pretty satisfying to KO someone with a massive fart in midair...

Oh, and Bowser is so much better this time around than his Melee counterpart.

Maybe I will next, but just figured on doing it that way. *shrug*

Peanut · 03-10-2008, 11:29 AM

For anyone wondering, you start unlocking characters that are more time consuming to get around the 40% mark in SSE. I'm at 43% now, and I just unlocked Lucario. Falco was just before that, but I already had him unlocked.

愛 · 03-10-2008, 11:36 AM

And also for whoever is wondering, SSE gets incredibly frustrating. I don't even want to do this. It's like working a job and not getting paid for it.

I'm glad you said that because I was beginning to wonder when it would start to pay off. I've only unlocked Marth, Ness, Luigi, Captain Falcon, and Falco. Ness and Luigi were both from vs matches. Obviously none of them are new characters, and it's a little annoying, hehe.

It's not so bad if you have someone to help you out, but I agree it can be frustrating. Of course, I'm not even halfway through it yet, so perhaps things get even worse down the road.

Jon · 03-10-2008, 12:16 PM

As noted earlier, haven't done much yet. Now having done Classic Mode a couple more times (beating the main part both times, only to get trounced by "New Challenger" Luigi the first time; then beat him the second time).

Sounds like SSE is going to be nasty (difficult, etc.). But looking forward to it when get around to trying that out.

Peanut · 03-10-2008, 12:53 PM

Things really pick up in the unlockables front around the 50% mark of SSE. You start unlocking pretty much everyone very quickly.

Good to hear.

I just gave it a whirl. I tend to play games in small 'bursts', as such I've gotten through the first 2 areas (save points). Has a little bit of difficulty, of course, but that's fine. Obviously going to get more intense as it goes on, as people have said of. And got a bunch of stickers and trophies (including making one of the minor enemies into a trophy) along the way.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-10-2008, 02:35 PM

I have low toleration for repetitive tasks unless there is a substantial reward. For instance, No More Heroes was a bland, repetitive hack and slash where you do the same thing over and over and over. The style kept me going for a while, and the humor after that, but it eventually wore too thin and I quit. Fortunately for it, Subspace Emissary has those kick-ass cut-scenes to keep me trucking along. Otherwise I would have tossed it at 20% and gone back to Brawl.

Very happy with Samus's voice BTW. Frankly, I'm happy with all the voice dubs except Pokemon Trainer. Why? WHY did they have to go with the damned anime voice? Jesus.

And am I the only one who is happy they upheld tradition with "FALCON PWAAANCHE!"

Peanut · 03-10-2008, 02:45 PM

I just beat SSE. I feel like I've wasted so much life.
