Umm... yeah... Starting to get the picture that this game could part the red sea, and it would still merit complaints...

Multiplayer in Melee was pretty fantastic. Increasing how great single player is seems like the next evolutionary step. Many people are probably going to be itching to complain about how it's "too similar to Melee" and this is definitely working to differentiate the game from its predecessor.

TVman you deserve this in bold:

I feel the same way.

Edit: the cinematic is almost fully loaded....so far it looks so beautiful.

I have to say Mario waving to a crowd and getting applause is just awesome ::tears come to eyes::

Thank you.

I like to think of myself as a word smith. Usually when I talk (out loud), my speech has a similar effect.

Ok ok . . .

Zelda gets + 10000000 cool points for best "coming to aide comrades" entrance ever.

Lol freaking awesome update. Best week ever for updates.

Because we know how great the single player mode will be right? I am just trying to bring down this unsubstantiated excitement when we really know nothing about the single player besides this teaser, heck we don't even know that much about the multiplayer.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1730 on:** August 02, 2007, 08:37:56 PM »

Wha...what is wrong with you people?

Who the hell questions Smash's multiplayer. Holy mother of god. IT'S SMASH BROS.

Likewise, how much did we know about Mario Galaxy when it was first announced? How much do you know about it now, or know how great it will be?

Mario Galaxy is one of my most anticipated titles (although way behind Brawl), and personally I didn't need unsubstantiated proof that it is going to be a great game to get excited about it, and nor do I here for the new Adventure Mode.

Exactly!

Also questioning Brawl's multiplayer is like questioning Mario Galaxy's single player.

Mario Galaxy has actually been played and has had hands on impressions (Heck wasn't it playable when it was announced?). Not to mention we have a myriad of videos of the single player in action. What do we have for Smash Brothers? A couple short trailers and pics? No one has really gotten to play it, so there is no telling what single player is going to be like. You KNOW what Mario Galaxies will be like because you've seen big chunks of it being played or watched the detailed trailers.

I do.

And I don't think the multiplayer will suffer because of it. This team, which is likely larger than Hal Labs, weren't rushed nor did they start from scratch as they were given all source material.

On an unrelated note, I love reading Mashiro's posts. Always good for a chuckle. Face palm.... gold...

Mashiro · « **Reply #1735 on:** August 02, 2007, 08:44:51 PM »

I try Adrock I try.

GP is being completely non-sensical tonight once again so I will just be turning a blind eye to her comments which make no sense what so ever.

nickmitch · « **Reply #1736 on:** August 02, 2007, 08:46:17 PM »

We know the single player will be great in Brawl because it was good in Melee and looks improved. And, when you improve good, you get great. It's really that simple.

How am I being non-sensical? The fact remains that we know what Mario Galaxy will be like because we've seen and read impressions on it, Brawl's single player is still a mystery. I fail to see how that is non-sensical.

Again TVman sums it up perfectly.

Thank you TVman =)

Talk about a party pooper. Getting excited about a new game is fun. Mellow out.

Unsubstantiated praise is the lifeblood of this board, how could you supress it?

And honestly, I believe this is the most work put into a Smash Bros. game (the first had a small budget, and the second was on the fast track to make the Gamecube launch window), so I doubt that the multiplayer is anything less than an improvement, or at least at Melee's level. How could you judge the single player mode to be bad off some screens and a movie? It looks a better, game-long version of the Mushroom Kingdom/Hyrule Castle/etc. scenes from Adventure mode with enemies and a lil story. I'm really looking forward to it, HEEDLESSLY.

Where did I say it is bad? Heck I said I had promise but until we know more I don't see why it is getting so much hype. I also believe I said Melee had a good single player in it and this could be better.

::slams head into a wall::

The heart of the multiplayer lies within the fighting engine and we all know that Melee's engine was lacking polish, was rushed and could've been better had they taken their time with it. Brawl is the perfect opportunity for the developing team to make the game Melee was supposed to be and MORE. So it would be disheartening that a great chunk of the developing time was spent working on the single player rather than to work the kinks out of the fighting system.

Hell as much as I hate to say it by the way they are touting the single player being one of Brawl's biggest features I believe that the online mode was pretty much scrapped.

Sorry for being cynical and pessimistic but that's how I see things. As much as I love Nintendo they have the tendency of going against logical thinking on occasion.

Thank you pap, but prepare to get flamed. Also never mention that Smash Brothers Brawl's single player mode is anything less than Nintendo's best platformer because that is being closed minded.

Also, epic update is epiiiiiic.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1749 on:** August 02, 2007, 08:56:59 PM »

But Pap Sakurai said on interviews from a while back (if I recall correctly) that he ALWAYS wanted to make a better single player for the game.

So this new single player focus isn't something new.

Edit: Does anyone seriously doubt the game that's been delayed for over a year?

This thing is leaking with polish. I would be shocked absolutely shocked if the entire game wasn't a polished experience.
