Welcome to Gaia! ::

...I've always been wondering about the Smash series. Is Brawl going to really balance things out? In Melee, because of their apparent strengths in speed, Shiek, Fox, Marth, Peach were very popular.
By looking at a layman's point of view, there's not very much you can really do against a speed player's play style (unless you can predict well, which takes some practice)... This kind of speed difference created a tier system in the game, which were dominated by these high-speed characters. I just hope this tier system doesn't stay for brawl... it just tells gamers that some characters don't stand a chance against people who use high tiers, which is UNTRUE.

Since I'm most familiar with him (he's my main), I'll use Ness as an example. While many consider him to be one of the worst characters in the game, Ness has incredible potential. His PK Thunder is AMAZING. the concept of Tail whipping gave way to ingenious tactics like PK thunder barrier (and PK thunder barrier counter, if you're that good... razz ). This coupled with the Yo-yo Glitch makes Ness a pretty frightful sight on the battlefield. I'm no Simna Ibn Sind, and I probably never will be. But using Ness, I can hold my ground to Fox and Shiek players out there.

I'm not saying to completely nerf the speed characters (oh god no) but I just hope brawl doesn't make players discriminate between characters. It makes people lean towards arrogance before playing a game.

Hey hey kids!...

Boy, I really can't wait for brawl... actualy, now that I think of it, I hope sonic isn't announced for it or it because I won't be alive to play it! sweatdrop

...It's insanity cheese boy! rofl

Well, there's about 60 days remaining. Time is going by fast.

That's to make up for you getting Mario Strikers Charged before us.

:p

Well it's good to see that the shields are back, but I was hoping for character oriented shields..

Yoshi would have his shell..
Snake would have his box..

Well, I guess theres still hope because they only showed Samus.. and a ball of energy WOULD be something she would use.


Oh, and Landmaster.. for the win. It's sexy. Deadly. My heart's aflutter.

I'm sure that joke's been done. Many times. To the point of exhaustion. :p

No, no boost, no boost! Are you two insane!?


Kajeto-kun power!






Anyays, what I hope is that as the US will get the game before Europe, they won't spoil all the secrets. We Europeans want some fresh things to sink our teeth into sometimes!

True, but I interpreted it my own way. If I had been able to have all the Nintendo characters action figures when I was a kid, I would have def created scenarios where they had to fight each other. Using my imagination I would have brought the characters from their own little planets and realities, just like the original's opening gave us, where the Master Hand put things like the tissue box and the books together to create the arena. Having them as trophies to me meant that they were all from the same place, and were made just for the fight they were put into. Which, don't get me wrong, is AMAZING. Just different.

Going from action figure things to trophies, I wonder what the new opening will have them as?
