EDIT: @ tonight’s update:
I see Sakurai has noticed sites will spoil everything so hopefully that’ll keep wasting time with subspace emissary run throughs to a minimum but Sakurai and the rest of Nintendo should also know given the proliferation of the Internet kids have already seen words like “cock”, “poo” and “penis” and should therefore get over themselves and do away with stupid friend codes and anonymous battles.
haha, lame update, but the ending statement had me in stitches
to sum it up haha
“don’t want to spoil the identity of secret characters by fighting them online? TOO BAD!”
edit - okay, the part about replacing a cut off person with a computer, its a nice thought, but yeah, theres no replacing an actual person yknow…although a person who decides to drop on you because they are a douche, id rather fight a computer
Sorry Sakurai. . .but I get much more pleasure out of humiliating people over the internet than humiliating a random CPU. Where’s the fun in doing that?
You plan on calling up the guy to tell him he’s a loser after he’s disconnected his wii?
Uh. . .way to completely misunderstand me. My point is that I enjoy winning. Winning against a person is far more satisfying than winning against a computer. Playing against computers is a waste of time and effort, no matter how you look at it, simply because they’re boring and they suck.
40 something characters is way too much, definitely fake.
Definitely looks shady with Ness in the list as well as Young Link… and wasnt Game & Watch confirmed out? I don’t remember.
I recall reading something on smashboards about Sakurai saying “more characters than you can imagine” or was that just a misquote?
\
and you obviously missed the point of them saying even if they do drop they will seemlessly fix it so you won’t KNOW if they did. I mean what will you do then? drop yourself? and you have no idea as to how hard the CPU will fight anyway.
I call BS
yeah i seriously doubt that
but if isaac and megaman were in i’d be in heaven.
Hey, I call BS as well. Looks like far too many chars (as mentioned) and some of the chars on the list don’t even make sense.
At least it’s something to talk about while we wait for a legit update =/.
I don’t think G&W would be gone. He has a unique moveset and since it has been said that clones would be out I don’t think they would cut G&W. Sakurai said the number of characters would hover around what was in melee and I think I counted 42 in that list, that’s like over 1.5 times that of melee.
True. Good points. It definitely doesn’t make sense to eliminate clones then bring them back (in this rumored version). Maybe if the list was smaller with less clones, it would be more believable. =(
I wish online wasn’t anonymous. I really don’t see the point of it. I think it’d be better if they allowed you to atleast have a name or join rooms where people are waiting to play so you can play with who you want.
Imagine running into some famous player once and not being able to play them again. It’d suck.
i suppose this is kind of a middle finger to all the droppers out there, but yeah, the anonymity thing is mildly lame. i suppose though that all the good players will have a big ass friend code list to put out there when the game drops so it doesnt bother me too much
Nintendo still hasn’t realized that the point of an online game is to form a community. And communication is a key part in trying to form a community, but with the lack of communication(or player names for that matter), you’ll never be able to meet players online. You won’t even be able to tell if you’re playing the computer or not. I really wished that Nintendo outsourced to a different developer to make their online structure.
I’m pretty sure they are doing this to prevent abuse, especially since the Wii is meant to be a family system.
And considering the state of people, I agree with their decision.
Anyway, it’s not like a lot of the better players won’t have Friend Codes, so I still fail to see why you keep bringing this up.
Thank you infernoman…and I don’t believe I was misunderstanding you maelstom…I threw that question out there because no.1 you probably won’t know when the guy has dropped and no.2 it’s anonymous. If the guy drops…the guy drops…not much you can do about it. Me personally though I like the idea and support it because it at least doesn’t interupt a 4 way brawl when some douchebag is having a hissy fit cause everyone else is playing volleyball with his character.
wow…3 piece combo of geno, issac and megaman huh? sounds WAAAYY too good. I’m not gonna doubt it nor dismiss it though even though it has a possibility of being fake there’s an off chance of it being true…and young link being turned into Cel-da link doesn’t sound far fetched to me as a lot of people were actually thinking the same way…probably be a close clone but have a change up in items…maybe possibly have the deku leaf or the gigantic ass hammer he had in the game as special moves?
Edit:
Maybe at the end of the match they’ll let you know if you were fighting a comp or not at the victory screen? I’d imagine that after the person dropped it would no longer say P1, P2, P3, or P4 at the end…that’d be an easy way of telling if the guy dropped or not…that is IF nintendo does it.
Prevent abuse? Well if thats the only reason, then they can simply offer parental controls. But to force such restricting features on all players is just unreasonable. If this was the online mode of any other game you would see some serious complaints, but since this is Brawl everyone wants to sit here and try to defend it.
