Actually, it's because you accused him of "crying over it".

More flies with honey.

Just got the game. Oh god I can see my life melting away right before my very eyes.

This game is awesome, the Diamond cup finals are just too damn hard!

[IceCold]

Just got back and started playing this.. for some reason I've been struggling with the controls. Maybe I just need to get used to the remote and get the mindset of Cube controls out of my head..

I'll post my Friend Code soon - hopefully you guys are still playing.

[EasyCure]

i'll still be playing since i dont own MP3 yet and probably wont will for awhile now.. which means i'll have to be extra careful on the forums in a month when everyone's beaten it or close to it.

the more friend codes i get for strikers the better since ranked matches never work for me, but friend matches work like 2 outta every 5 tries..

sigh i figured with everyone playing metroid thered be a better chance of me to play online but no.. oh well.

speaking of friend codes i still get the "connecting" message on some of your names. add me already

The Developers gave an interview!

A choice quote:

...
Did you feel any pressure from Nintendo to make complete used of the motion control?

KY: Quite the opposite.  They specifically said don’t try to cram everything in the motion controls.  Use it when you need to and don’t overdo it – they were actually very cautious with us.

Do they address any of the issues about online aspects of the game, like why i still can't play ranked matches?

i stopped playing out of frustration, that and i can't get passed the qualification rounds in the second cup

but i blame that on online anyway since i always try to play online first, then because i can't i'll try finishing the cups and i'm playing while angry

I'm pretty sure that's just a problem on your part with your connection.

Fantastic interview by the way, they seem really in touch with everything.

[EasyCure]

i've played about 5 matches in total, two ranked three with friends, farthest being panama, and i've never had a connection that wasnt 5 star.

what else could it be?

[NWR_pap64]

The crowd riot idea would've been fun but extremely messy.

As for the online issues I never had them either and my connection is less than perfect,

Lag spikes. Caused by gremlins. Who live on the net.

I just got this game today, and it is very frustrating. Not particularly difficult, but when I want to choose Boo who is right next to the ball, and it switches to Hammer Bro. who is on the other side of the field, and because of this, the other guy gets a goal, I want to throw my Wiimote.

[Mario]

You'll get better

You know, I figured it out.. well, I noticed it as early as the first GameCube game, but the Wii version really accentuated the fact that..

Mario Strikers is more of an arcade hockey game than it is a soccer game. If you look at it, there's (how can you say "there are" ) so many similarities that it's uncanny. First, the hitting in general. You get a penalty (in this case you give the other team an item) for hitting them when they don't have the puck (ball). They even allow the split-second grace period to hit someone just after they've gotten rid of the ball without penalising you. Not to mention the walls around most of the stadiums that you can bash people into - just like boards in hockey.

There's lots of other stuff - the charging up, the emphasis on rebounds, the seemingly small nets, the fact that it's 4-on-4, etc, etc. PLUS it's made in Canada by Next Level Games, AND the theme song sounds eerily like something out of "Hockey Night in Canada".

So my point is, give me my goddamn hockey game, EA! Or even 2K or let NLG make one since they're done Strikers.

[EasyCure]

snapshots with the wiimote ftw..? that would be soooo cool actually.... like a mario strikers-esque charge up, but instead of the moving bar on a power meter, if you're able to charge up all the way, the game goes into a megastrike type animation from behind the characters point of view, facing the goal, and you have to whack the puck yourself

[Dirk Temporo]

Did I mention how COMPLETELY F*CKING OBNOXIOUS it is that if you don't qualify for the cup, you have to play ALL THE GODDAMN MATCHES OVER AGAIN?

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

It's practice you need.
