Me. :-* :tomato
I can't wait to pwn some newbz. And by newbz, I mean people who like most of the people on this board. "LOL, Smash Bros isn't a real fighting game! Where's the win button? Oh crap, I just got killed 10 times in the first 30 seconds. :(" :lol
The only crappy thing is that they're making you play with Wiimote w/Nunchuck. It blows. I played it today using that setup at Gamestop, it's unplayable garbage. Wiimote is good for some games, but this isn't one of them. Only God's most perfect controller, The Wavebird, can play Smash Bros the way it's meant to played, and Gamestop is wrong for not realizing that. Come on Gamestop, have you not felt the way the Wavebird melts into the contours of your hands, become an extension of your body, making my Melee battles become almost a cyber zen-like experience, where I'm not no longer inputting commands with a controller but the inputs are flowing directly from my brain into the computer? Have you?? Probably not, because you're a bunch of twats. "Oh oh, we want to make it fair for people who haven't played Melee before!" WTF, those people don't even deserved to be there. While we're at it, let's play a basketball tournament with soccer balls and 6 foot goals to make it fair for people who haven't played before. smh ::)

this forum isn't that gay

bahahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was thinking about going to one of these, but I decided not to. I've seen the type of people that these things attract and I don't wanna be around them for more than a few minutes.

I don't care what kind of weirdos show up, as long as I can kick their ass. If the unthinkable should happen, and I should lose though, I'm going to the IHOP to pout.
-
I'm gonna go to this tomorrow nite... tournament is gonna suck though, wiimote+nunchuck sounds annoying for this game, and plus isn't it timed 1 minute? Fuck that, it's all about the 3-stock, niccas. I can't wait to see all the nerds who will turn up. This is Long Island though, all the nerds will still probably have blowouts and be decked out in Armani.

Which Gamestop are you going to?
-
I might pop in at midnight if my gf gets off of work by then, otherwise no.
Anyone going in Queens?
-
Which Gamestop are you going to?
Hauppauge one, 347/route 111, near where Comp USA used to be. It's a fairly new (opened like last year) one, so I don't think it's gonna be nearly as crowded as the ones in/around Smith Haven. I usually go to the Hauppauge one to pick up games because it's on the way home from work.
-
haan not me....
ill prolly wait to pick it up wednesday when i go buy condemned 2 and house of the dead Wii

By ShopRite? That's not a new store.
-
Hah, no. I get a discount at my employer so I'll just pick it up Sunday evening.

Yeah, by Kotobuki... well it's fairly new, like I think it opened in 06 or so...

I'd totally have man-sex with Sakurai, no homo.

That's any fighting game ever, not just smash.

GameStop has no say on the controller funny business - that was all mandated by Nintendo.
-
So, I am entering, considering for the time being I'm not an official GameStop employee.
So far I've adapted quickly to waggle. Hopefully that will help me win and at least get to the district level.
BTW, if I make it all the way, I better
1. Get to meet the San Fransisco EBers (Willco)
2. We better be drinking. I get $200 from GameStop for spending money if I make it to San Jose. Fifty of that goes towards liquor.
I'm getting to the store at open tomorrow in order to practice. Hopefully I kick some ass. Wish me luck!
-
Let's all lynch Willco.

Yeah, I know that one. :P

ill prolly wait to pick it up wednesday
Good luck finding it. Actually, Nintendo couldn't have been dumb enough to undership this game, could they?
-
That would be a blessing to all of us
-
I bought Smash days early at a small mom and pop store near my apartment. No need for midnight launches.

oh I have it pre-ordered - i just do not see a point in making 2 trips to the gamestop - as busy am i am anyway. I could go get it tonight (saturday) and not have time to play it till next weekend anyway.
-
If all else fails, I'm just gonna pick it up Sunday morning at Best Buy. They had like a fuckload of copies of Mario Galaxy the day it came out, so I picked it up.
Do you know that if you go to the thing at Gamestop, you HAVE to have a pre-order? I'd like to know if I can just attend and buy the thing there.

But if you pick it up NOW you might FIND time to play it. God knows I will.

I already went through the tournament rules and nonsense with other Store Managers at the San Jose location and it looks like it's going to be a zoo when the regional semi-finalists and finalists make it to the later rounds.
Actually, ALL the rules are mandated by Nintendo. They are sponsoring this thing and they want it run a certain way. Also, I saw the trophy that the stores will be handing out to the winners (courtesy of Nintendo) of the tournament this Saturday. It's fucking hideous.
-
Any pics of the trophy? I'm curious.
-
Yeah, I can get you guys one.
-
That'd be glorious.
I bet if I posted it on my blog and dugg it I would get 23872482939 hits from N-fegs. :lol
-
Here it is! I have a picture of a monkey humping it. This is the actual trophy. No joke. Send your thanks to Nintendo:

I like how Nintendo took out the Earthbound demo from Brawl :rofl :rofl
-
:lol
-
WHAT
:rofl :rofl :rofl
That's a fuckin wrestling trophy with a Smash Bros. engraving on it!

:lol That's awful.
I wonder what the grand prize trophy looks like. According to the official rules, it has an approximate value of $500. :o It better not be a gold plated version of that. :lol
-
lmfao, waht the fuck is that. I figured it'd be a piece of glass with gay Mario art on it or something.

what the fuck

My 13-year old nephew, who recently got a Wii, called today, asking if he could borrow our Gamecube controllers for Brawl. I guess they're expensive and hard to find in the Seattle area now. I had to tell him no, since my wife loves SSB:Melee and is unwilling to give up the ability to play it on the Cube.
-
Yeah, I thought it'd be somewhat Nintendo related.
I'm sure the grand prize trophy will be amazing, because they're sparing no expense on the San Jose portion of the tournament. But I guess they cheaped out since they're going to have to give out like 2,700+ of these tonight.
-
Does the competition start at 12 or do I have to show up at 10 like Aeris said?
What about for pickup? Do I have to appear early to get a ticket or can I just pull up at 12 and get the game?
-

NOA loves to mess with Mother/Earthbound fans. Their pretty sadistic in that regard.
-
Hey guys, Smash is pretty awesome. Best 2D platformer from Nintendo in years!

The tournament is at 10pm.
-
OK. Is it expected to last the full 2 hours? Are secret characters available?
-
My EB Games is getting it tomorrow at noon. Glad I didn't get fucked over cuz I'm Canadian. :hyper
-
The tournament starts at 10pm. The rounds are one minute each, so it will not be two hours. Most stores (mine included) are starting earlier. Secret characters are not available. If someone unlocks one during play, the tournament supervisor will have to reset the kiosk.
-
that trophy is lamer than what I would imagine a Nintendo Smash Bros tournament trophy would be. and that's pretty lame.
-
omg that trophy... its like out of teen wolf or something
-
Greatest game ever, worst tournament ever.
-
This game owns!
-
Fuck yea
-
I'm going to pick it up tomorrow or the day after (too much school work). Post your friend codes so I can add you!
-
i got mine
-
Pretty fucking awesome. Even won a gift card for answering a trivia question.
And, I'm addicted to Brawl now. The new "subspace" adventure mode reminds me A LOT of Kirby Super Star for some reason. Guess whichever HAL team worked on that worked on the adventure mode for Brawl, because the feels are very identical. It really, really struck me during the parts on Meta Knight's ship, but I guess I would automatically come to that conclusion considering the level had the exact same music and level design.
Great game though, can't wait to play more!
