  • Smash Bros delayed to March 9

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Hmmm, I thought it was coming out in May =P

Seems I had it mistaken for Mario Kart. Not a huge deal for me, it is right around the time of my birthday. I will strongly suggest to people to get it for me =)

Of course, I wonder if we're all going to get annoyed by each other's cheap play styles? =P

Smash Bros is all about cheaping someone. But everyone's doing it so who cares

I don't think Smash Brothers is any worse than most fighting games; for example, it has nothing on Blanka in the original Street Fighter games. Fighting games in general have access to cheap tactics; there's a few exceptions like Soul Calibur.

Ahem, Guile was the cheapest Character in the original SF games.

In SF2 (original) NOTHING was cheaper than the fireball/uppercut combo for both Ryu and Ken

Here is a translation:


This time single player has tons of content. The adventure mode is quite long and fun. And the story presentation is amazing. As for the fights, with the strong unpredictable factor that comes with final smashes, more than ever we can be excited about matches not being related to skill. The controls and sound are also satisfying. Hats off to Nintendo.
Score: 10

The new unpredictable factor that is the final smash allows us to enjoy an amazing effect and refreshing feel from any character. The fights are even more intense. The single player modes are abundant and a plus. The Subspace Emissary Adventure mode movie and action tempo are good and you just forget time while playing. Im highly satisfied with the game.
Score: 10

The powerhouse cast and gimmicks! The dynamic and subtle character moves! The must see final smashes! There are tons of battle stages. The single player mode is also extremely satisfying. There is a stage edit, and you can browse through the detailed information in the game.
Score 10

The moves of the the all star roster of characters have been polished, and the addicting one player mode has been perfected. With its outstanding graphics and wonderful ambience, Brawl is an epic game in which you can feel the efforts that went into it. Every time you play it, you'll discover something new, and you'll savor both sweet joy and bitter loss when you battle.
Score: 10

Hey, that shit was hard to pull off, and there were other shit that could just kill the person anyway. I would say that the crossover combos were nastier, since that STARTED the combos and there was little you could do to block them.

Besides, M. Bison, Balrog, Vega, Cammy, Ryu, and Ken all had similar redizzy combos. Zangief had a 100% combo.
