Title: Smash Bros. Melee Profile Question
Post by: MarioFoxZelda on May 17, 2003, 09:44:28 AM

What are the profiles for... they dont even keep records or anything... or do they I can't find where. Is it just to make you feel like you have a personal name in the game because that is the only purpose I can see it serving.

It keeps a record of your name, like KOs and whatnot.  You go to the data screen and you scroll over until it shows the screen with the names.

Edit: That is only for multiplayer records, it keeps nothing (for the names) for single player.

profiles help to completely blow the element of invisibility if you get the cloaking device (since your name still is displayed over your character) .. so they arent completely worthless

Yeah, but the cloaking device still negates any damage you would have recieved had you not been wearing it.

You know, when you are cloaked you yourself has the same amount of chance seeing your character as the next guy.

And the profiles ARE used. Here's the low-down. When you create a profile, it will store a motherload of records and stats in the data section. This is only for multiplayer games. BUT, you must always be logged on with your profile. If you are playing a tournament, it asks you to log on before starting the game. But, in single multiplayer matches, you must manually log on by click on the character name in the selection screen. So if you choose Samus as your character, bring the cursor down to your player box, and press on where it says "Samus", and the list of profiles will come up. You have to select your profile to use it.

Oh, and most of you should know this, I'm just saying this for the ininformed.

As for their use, well it's so you can brag over your friend that you've beat him 61.45% of the 372 matches you two have played against each other.

Oh, and to find the records, first you gotta go to data. Then you gotta to to the data pages for the characters. You know how it's 3 sections? The big chart, then the individual listings, then the top 5 records? Well when you are in the individual listings or top 5 records, press X I think to switch from character records to player records. Tada!
