"Un"Official Brawl Update Topic

[ChaosVortex]

FUN FACT: When I realized I had Wi-Fi, I played MK DS on the internet. After losing against a bunch of snakers, I thought I was average at the game and wouldn't compare to the Matrician players here.

... later did I recognize I was the only one with a 3-star ranking.

In other words Xero, you could be better than all of us in the game but not know it.

[Majikn]

I always meant to get the three star rank in that game. I never actually gave up, but it got to a point where I was so bored with it that I figured I'd just try again later and never got around to it.

If you can beat up a team of 3 (level 9) CPUs in Melee without exploiting AI weaknesses, you can definitely kick my ass. I barely win against 2, and I take every advantage I can get.

There WAS that one time where I fought a Red Team of 3 level 9 Luigis (five stock) and I got in 2 actual KOs and won. That was a really funny match. I don't expect that to happen nearly as often in Brawl, though.

[Johncarllos]

I'm average at Melee.
I'll beat people here, I have the whole flash reflect (shield when something is about to hit you and it defector shields it) and midair catch/dodge thing down.

[Mikero]

I'm getting it first day because I pre-ordered it.

Doesn't always work out like that, but you probably will get it.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

I pre-ordered it, but I'm still going to be there for the midnight release.
I'll probably drag Irradiated-Man along with me.

[NovaMan XP]

I'm getting it first day because I pre-ordered it.

Doesn't always work out like that, but you probably will get it.

Yeah, because if too many people pre-order at the same store I'm out of luck right?

Luckily it seems it won't end up happening. Or I'd be very sad.

[Majikn]

That's why I don't trust pre-ordering. The most difficulty I've ever had in getting a game was Mario Galaxy, and only because I had to walk for a couple hours just to get to the store that had the game, and they still had loads of copies. Brawl's probably going to be more difficult than that, but I'm making a good gamble, I think.

[NovaMan XP]

Well, apparently I'm gonna go to the midnight release to get Brawl. Yipee. Although I'll bet I'll feel like going to sleep before I can really get anything done in the game.

[Snare]

Well Brawl is coming out during March Break (Canadian equivalent to Spring Break)...And I work all through March Break. ;_;

I'm sad now.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Don't worry Snare, we'll all make sure to tell you how awesome it is.

[NovaMan XP]

My school's "Easter Break" (zomg) happens two weeks after Brawl. Boo.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Haha! Sucks to be all of you.
I'll have Brawl by the end of the first day of my Spring break.

[Lunchebox]

Brawl has been delayed until April 3rd, guys.

[NovaMan XP]

IT CAME FROM LUNCHEBOX IT MUST BE TRUE!

[ASR]

Xero, I'll train you! Rocky-style!

[Vinchenz Rock]

Well Brawl is coming out during March Break (Canadian equivalent to Spring Break)...And I work all through March Break. ;_;

Bwahahaha. I've called off work all March Break.

Also, apparently my EBGames doesn't have midnight releases so I'll just pick it up Sunday ASAP.

[Majikn]

I didn't call off work, but I did request that they didn't butcher me with shifts. I'll have at most 3 days off, I think.

[Johncarllos]

I'm depressed that I never pre-ordered it.
We never went to Gamestop....

Guess I'll have to find one as soon as I possibly can...
Off the shelves....
:'(

*regret*

[ASR]

Trust me, it won't be sold out.

[ChaosVortex]

I certainly #####ing hope so.

That was my logic. They're gonna order so many, I'll be able to get one...

... I hope I'm right.

[ASR]

No, I mean, very rarely do normal non-bundle games completely sell out. I don't think even Halo 3 came close.

I still don't know what possessed me to place a pre-order for Brawl. I never place pre-orders.

For the record, I bought Guitar Hero 3 on a whim. The day it came out, late in the afternoon, I passed Gamestop, slowed down, turned around, and bought myself a nice gift. I hadn't bought anything in a while so it wasn't a huge deal money-wise, but there were still 2 left, which surprised me. Rock Band was sold out everywhere around me ASAP.

[ChaosVortex]

##### Halo 3, this is Smash Bros.

... But I doubt they'll just order a normal stock of the game with so much hype about it. I wouldn't expect any less from Halo 3 either.

In fact, Halo 3 broke a record.

I will shake my head with disgust against all humanity if Brawl isn't receieved an equal treatment or better.

[NovaMan XP]

I doubt Brawl is overhyped enough.

You don't see an official drink yet.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Falcon Energy Drink.
Energy with a Kick of Falcon.

[NovaMan XP]

No, it's called FALCON PUNCH.

And it's sponsored by Hawaiian Punch.

[Mikero]

It's a party in a can!

[Morgan Guyer]

So... Who is getting this sunday at midnight?

[Lunchebox]

Hopefully me.

[NovaMan XP]

I am. I hope.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Wouldn't it actually be Midnight Saturday?
Anyway yeah, I'll be waiting of course.

[Lunchebox]

It's actually the beginning of Sunday, Since Midnight starts the new day.

[Majikn]

To avoid ambiguity I'd just say Sunday 0:00 or Saturday 24:00.

Either way, I'm a morning after kind of person.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

It's actually the beginning of Sunday, Since Midnight starts the new day.

Eh, that stuff always confuses me.
Yeah anyway, I'm going to be there, not even an ice cream truck could stop me from being there at least two hours early.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I would but like I said, EBGames isn't going to have a midnight release. :(

Oh well, at least I'll have a good sleep. Not only does Daylight savings occur at that midnight, but you guys will probably get to bed at 5:00AM. That way, I can play Brawl all day while you guys sleep. :P

[NovaMan XP]

SLEEPING? WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SLEEPING?

*grabs energy drinks*

If anyone cares, the back of the game box:

[Johncarllos]

Tooooo many languages.

[NovaMan XP]

Two is too many?

[ChaosVortex]

Nintendo does it to a bunch of their games now. I know Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario have it.

And yes, there's just English y Español.

[NovaMan XP]

Okay... I WTF'd at these... moveset swapping!

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Yeah, it's just a silly hack, that won't be in the real game.
Still, Pikanondorf kicks ass.

[ChaosVortex]

P-P-P-PIKACHU!?

EDIT: Heheh, I like Olimario.

EDIT2: GOLDEN ARWING ##### YEAH.

[NovaMan XP]

Yeah, it's just a silly hack, that won't be in the real game.

I know, but it's #####ing hilarious.

[Johncarllos]

SONIC PEACH!
OMFG.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I laughed so hard at Ganonchu.

Also, Sonic Peach is CREEPY.

[Panda]

Pikachu (Ganondorf) scared the hell out of me, so did Toon Link (Meta Knight). AND OMG PEACH (SONIC), WTF?

Mario (Olimar) is the cutest thing EVER.

[Mikero]

So I'm not getting the game until I'm done the semester. That's like 5 weeks from now. But I'm trying it out Sunday so I'm excited.

[ChaosVortex]

24 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES AND COUNTING...

[Snare]

GODWHYDOIWORK!:[

[NovaMan XP]

My Gamestop just called me about it. Lolz

But they want me to come 2 hours early for the midnight release. >_>

Yeah, no thanks.. <_<

[Mikero]

24 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES AND COUNTING...

God. Relax.

Anyway this is what's gonna happen all #####ing day;
