So basically you might as well play against the computer if you’re not playing friends, since you can’t see names and are probably playing the computer anyway.
And showing the E for All demo select screen instead of blacking out the other chars is lame.
Also, that leaked list looks pretty bullshit to me.
Falco & Krystal?
Young Link?
Geno & Isaac?
Also, I’m expecting more than 1 more 3rd party char. With Nintendo’s close relationship with Square-Enix these days (Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Itagaki Street) , I’m kinda expecting a squeenix char.
I want Geno so badly, it’s outrageous.
But I really hope that if a Square-Enix character makes it to Brawl, it’s a good one. If I see Cloud, I’ll puke.
(crosses fingers) Come oooooon, Rikku!
That list was already proved to be a fake on Smashboards. Some guy posted the list as the characters he wanted to see and some other site picked it up and posted it.
He’s just offering an alternative if someone logs off, technically you could simply disconnect once your opponent does, so having the CPU replace someone who purposely disconnects shouldn’t be such a horrible thing. Options man, options.
I like the idea because if you were already getting your groove on you might as well just finish, even if it’s fake.
The random play without options is just plain gay though.
But this how Nintendo operates, they realize that parents are to lazy (and at time ignorant) to police their kids so they do it for them. Mainly so they don’t have to put out much money or worry about lawsuits and bad press.
Yeah, it sucks but it is similar to the gas situation, to get where we all want to go (beating ass with Snake, Sonic and other Nintendo characters) we have to take the bad with the good or walk.
CPU Luigi never uses up-b.
LVL 9 CPUs will ALWAYS try to grab you when you shield within their grabbing range.
Lower level CPUs will NEVER dash.
Ness will never hit himself with up-b to recover.
LVL 9 CPUs will powershield and meteor cancel everything, even when it’s humanely impossible.
Captain Falcon will almost always do an up-b to follow up after a successful side-b.
Fox will always do a shine after a down throw.
. . .I could go on and on. I didn’t miss their point. The thing is, I know when I’m playing a computer or not. If people drop out, I’d rather quit myself, than waste a minute watching a few patterns and realizing I’m playing comps, and quit then.
To be honest, I’ve never seen the reason why some people have such a hard-on for Geno. To me, he wasn’t THAT interesting a character; I dumped both him and Mallow as soon as I got Peach and Bowser to take me through the rest of the game. I would have rather have had access to Jonathan Jones, the pimping shark pirate. :wgrin:
But any way…given how Mario RPG has STILL never been released in Europe, I doubt that they’ll include Geno for that kind of reason (Sakurai said that he’s not interested in characters that were more exclusive to Japan, US and etc.). Plus, using some one like a Final Fantasy Moogle with a Black Mage job, and a Dragon Quest Slime as an assist, would be more recognizable to more people across the board any way.
And as for the AI thing…personally, I’m still surprised that more fighting games have picked up on what the likes of VF4 and Fire Pro Wrestling have already done YEARS ago. Wouldn’t it be nice to just generate our own AI patterns, so that, in the case that we did get disconnected, the AI would basically do its damndest to give off an “emulated” version of your fighting style?
Why have other fighting game makers been pretty loathe to add this, I wonder? You’d think IT technology getting better over the years would make it so that custom AI would be a thing more embraced than it is currently.
He obviously has plans for Lucas, so technically I wouldn’t say he’s exclusive because the intention (like with Marth/Roy) is to make these characters recognizable stateside when their respective game debuts.
“Exclusive” probably mean characters that will NEVER be exported internationally due to cultural or thematic reasons.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Young Link was back with a new moveset (and a fierce deity final smash). Game&Watch was never confirmed out… it was a fake interview and it also said Ice Climbers were out.
eh…it has nothing to do with America right now so until it says anything about us I’m not worried about it…but I can’t imagine the uproar that it would cause if they pushed it back again…X.X
yeah I’m a complete ass lol. =D I didn’t mean it in that way but I suppose there’s no other way to see it that way. Europe seems to always get the shaft with stuff though so the smash announcement didn’t seem much of a surprise for me. You guys should grab your torch and pitchforks over there become a big unruly mob.
Japanese people just need to be banned from any form of Online anything. They are just genetically unable to make a good online game.
Why am I going to play random people when I won’t even know who they are? It’s going to be like “Man I played a good link yesteday, too bad I will never know if I am ever playing them again because the Brawl online setup is so horrible”
The only thing that can save the online aspect of the game is hyper smooth lag free gameplay. The community features are just so very bad. Kids aren’t retarded, 2nd graders have Myspace now.
Get with the fucking times Nintendo.
I’m liking that made up list of characters. I really want to see Wind Waker link in the game. He’d be so easy to make different and fun to play as.
Falco and Ness too. Changing the clones isn’t hard. The more characters the better. I said before I was hoping for about 35-40 characters MAX and that list is everything I could ask for.
Megaman AND Geno?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. That would be perfect.
Well one thing I can hope for is change, even if the game is released they can still change the connectivity issues once they realize what cavemen they’re being in regards to online play.
What an ass.
