The Pancake

Is it just me or was that kind of a rip-off of that scene in Beavis & Butt-Head Do America? 'Cause if I recall it even goes to a scenery shot and you see a giant mushroom cloud... Maybe I'm just imagining things.

As far as shooters go, I'd say timing is fairly important especially if you're doing something like sniping. There really shouldn't be a problem with Smash Bros online. It'll be just like any other game online, if you can find a good server, you'll find a good game. If you find a crap lag server, you'll find a crap game. That's my experience with fighters online DOA4 is a game where (depending if you can counter or not) timing can be critical as well, but it doesn't seem to be too big of a deal. If anything lag tends to give you a defensive advantage if everyone is lagging at the same rate, you get a little more reaction time if you see things coming.

Too bad Team Ninja seems to be enjoying the XBOX 360. Though if you really want to fight as Ryu, why not just pick up DOA4 (even though he looks like a total wuss when you can see his whole face)? I dunno, he doesn't seem like a Smash Bros type character for me. He'd have to fight in a completely different way from DOA. Then again, neither does Snake, but Metal Gear has always had a good sense of humor.

This game would be perfect if Segata Sanshiro were a character.... (Theme and all).
