I'd say it's because MK had been doing poorly so anything was an improvement over previous iterations.

Ah so that explains why you like Sonic and the Secret Rings.

As long as we agree that SSB doesn't need waggle, then yes, that played a role in me liking SR.

Adrock · « **Reply #278 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:05:27 PM »

Yeah, Brawl doesn't need waggle. Smash is the kind of game where, at the very least, its core audience will buy whatever controller to play. It is nice to know that technically you don't have to buy anything besides the game (and console for you nitpickers) to play. It may not be the best way, but at least it's there.

Also, MKA wasn't that bad. I haven't tried the Wii version, but the Xbox version was entertaining for a (free) rental. It was also pretty neat having like 4000 characters, even if many of them were lame.

We haven't even established that Smash Bros will have "waggle," have we*? Seems silly to argue about it at this point. Leave the balancing out of difficulty to the guys making the game. You don't know what the controls are actually like, so how do you know which way will have an advantage?

*The sideways remote may not use motion controls, or if it does, might use them in a way that's different from what you expect.

Oh look, it's our good friend Fox. From the images we see his Up B and Forward B are the same. But if you look at the image of him hitting Mario it looks like they've changed his regular attacks. In Melee he attacked by kicking but from the image we see him punching Mario. I'm guessing Sakurai really listened to all the complaints of Melee's balance issue's because if Fox's regular attacks are different, they've probably toned him down.

Even though I didn't find Melee's balance issues to be as bad as some, I do agree Fox needs to be changed because his character in Melee can be very cheap. And from the looks of these images they've indeed changed Fox which really points to him being balanced out in this game.

Alright, usually I just come here to here to read some fellow gamers' opinions about Smash updates, but I had to register and respond because you people are insane.

How can you find so much to complain about regarding the controls??? You guys look way too deep into these updates, and in all the wrong places. Everyone wants to be the first to say, "this screen shot proves this!" or "this update proves the gave will have these problems!"

Come ON. The wiimote-only control could be ANYTHING. But what if to walk, you press the d-pad over? And then what if in order to run, you press the d-pad over AND are moving the remote in some way, like tilting it or shifting it? And what if attacks worked in a similar manner? That way the trigger would be a button press, not a wiimote action. WOW! Genius! That's just too crazy!

Sheesh. Some of you guys need to log off for a while and just go enjoy some SSB:M.

EDIT: PS, this should really end all of the control complaining, regarding these controls ruining the sacredness of the basis of competitive perfection of Smash or something, but I know it won't.

Joe: I am not one for complaining about everything. But part of a discussion board is to discuss things. And we are talking about a game that isn't out so everything is theory.

If you know about since...theory that is untested is almost always highly debated. Heck even theory that is highly regarded is debated...so why would it be much different about information for a game, we can play and test?

The question about controls is just one of curiosity, trying to figure out how it will play, and IF it will play as good as the others...because the control of the game is literally the most important aspect of any game.

Ceric · « **Reply #283 on:** June 11, 2007, 03:28:59 AM »

Fox isn't hairy. Which is a real disappointment. Its like how in the new Pokemon game on the Wii the Pokemon who should have hair don't. Is the Wii incapable of hair? They did it in Star Fox Dinosaur Planet...

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #284 on:** June 11, 2007, 03:44:41 AM »

they should add more new stuff not stuff that we already know. But the new screens are always nice.

Ceric · « **Reply #285 on:** June 11, 2007, 03:47:00 AM »

You have to lay a base first. *shrug* I prefer they keep some things to find out in the game itself.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #286 on:** June 11, 2007, 04:09:18 AM »

well some things. I just would like them to release more music and stages
Like the characters are old news to us right now. Unless they release a new one.

That would first require Melee to be enjoyable.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #288 on:** June 11, 2007, 04:25:45 AM »

melee is very enjoyable. Dont know why u dont like it. Anyone will tell you SSBM is a very fun game.

Yeah, but they're doing an update every week day for at LEAST several more months. They need to pace themselves.

I was really just rebuking a comment made against me, but SSB64 was and forever will be a superior game in my eyes.

Also, I don't listen to "anyone" because "anyone" can be a brain-dead, drooling idiot with no redeeming social or intellectual value to speak of.

You might say I'm a people person...

They did it even better in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Of course the Wii's capable of it; it's just a stylistic choice.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #292 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:05:52 PM »

Maybe DK will be hairy as all hell.

Fox is supposed to be more well-groomed.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #293 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:21:38 PM »

well hopefully i will like fox better this game

LuigiHann · « **Reply #294 on:** June 11, 2007, 02:55:27 PM »

I'm not a big fan of realistic fur on cartoon characters. It looks odd.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #295 on:** June 11, 2007, 02:56:33 PM »

depends on who is making the game it can be good and can be bad

Ceric · « **Reply #296 on:** June 11, 2007, 03:46:45 PM »

I never thought of Fox's design being cartoony.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #297 on:** June 11, 2007, 04:22:41 PM »

I love the new design of Fox. I also don't mind the fur shading. I think it can be overdone fluff, and really it doesn't hurt Fox's design to not have fur. Just like it doesn't hurt Mickey Mouses design or Bugs Bunny.

Wow, I thought that I was the only one to think that the original SSB was a much more solid game than Melee, not to say that I think it was a horrible game or anything.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #299 on:** June 11, 2007, 06:05:05 PM »

I thought the paced, tighter control of SSB was superior to that of Melee, one reason I'm happy to see that Brawl is a bit slower.

SSB could have been a bit faster, but Melee was too fast for most non-hardcore gaming types to keep up, thus alienating all of my SSB64-loving friends. If Brawl is 80-85% of Melee's speed, it'll be just fine by me.
