Gamestop stores around here have brawl boxes on the shelves.

THis is so much win right here, just because it was the first response.

Fucking n00b. I should have known.

Been a good six months (probably longer) since I've subbed anything, so I know it's not me.

I want to see Saffron City, Hyrule Castle, and Peach's Castle from SSB64.

Haha, this is awesome.

As is the case with many people in the OCR community, I knew Reuben primarily through his music. He was a truly brilliant and talented individual, and his death is a loss not only to this community but to the world of music. It is devastating to see such a great talent die so young. But know that Reuben will always be remembered here. His music lives on, and we can continue to appreciate his talent. As cheesy as this sounds, I believe that one is never truly dead as long as their memory, their legacy, survives. Reuben's legacy will live on with us forever. He is a part of this community, and though he is a great loss, through his music he will still be with us always.

Um... shooting out ideas and discussing them != argument. As Reuben was a well-known and respected member of the community, I don't see any issues with the community collectively paying tribute, and in order to do that, we need to discuss verious ideas. To anybody who finds that offensive, I apologize. (Perhaps some people will find this post offensive for the same reasons. Oh well.)

I really like the idea of a Reuben roulette

Bump and extra characters.

You insensitive prick. You make a good point, actually.

I think this is a great idea! Count me in. As for selling them and giving the profit to his family, I think it would be better to just give the mixes to his family, without selling them to anybody. But I think it would be really tacky to sell arrangements of his work.

I don't know about a video, but some sort of tribute definitely seems in order.

I'm working on a Carol of the Bells mix.

Wait wait wait. Are you honestly suggesting that Timbaland (producer of this track) uses an unlicensed sample in "Do It?"

Holy shit yes. PSI Hotsex as a final smash would fucking rule.

Just got to the hundred coin challenge on the ghost house galaxy. You have got to be fucking kidding me. One minute! I have yet to get even half of them in a minute.

Typing as I watch Are you Link or Fox? I'm mainly going to focus on Fox here, since I play Fox a lot more than I play Link. For starters, USE SHINE! It comes out in one frame (ie 1/60 of a second), and can be cancelled just as quickly by jumping. It's the fastest attack in the game, and great when your opponent is right on top of you (as Link is quite often in this match). Fox also depends heavily on the dash attack, which is probably his single most easily-punishable attack. When rushing in, it's generally better to cancel your run by crouching, then pull out a tilt, a smash, or a shine. Link: this is a minor thing, but try using Up-B on the ground as a ledge-guarding move; hit fox with that, and he's pretty much fucked, even at very low damage. Another thing -- and this is something it seems both players could work on -- is following up on your attacks. That is, after you nail your opponent, don't sit back and wait for them to collect themselves and attack again -- chase them down, and keep comboing them as far as you can. Fox's play seems to pick up as the match continues, though he still doesn't cancel his shines, and depends too much on roll dodging to get around. Some characters can be played pretty well without wavedashing, but for fox to be anywhere near the top of his game, the player needs to be able to wavedash; it provides much greater meneuverability, improved speed, and best of all, much less predictability. Another thing for the fox player to work on is short-hopping his aerials; there are a number of instances where fox does a full jump at close range to come down with an aerial; this is much slower and thus much easier to counter than a short-hopped aerial. Of course, short-hopping is significantly harder with Fox than with many other characters, so it will take some time to master.

Awesome mix.

Are these videos hosted anywhere else: they keep getting stuck for me.

You seem to be under the assumption that the reason we're all so excited about brawl is that we "don't get it," or "don't see it." We get it. It's not xbox live. We can't use it to question the sexuality of random people while we play them. We still think it's gonna be an awesome game. Do you understand this, or is it completely beyond your comprehension that there's more to gaming than being able to question the sexuality of random nobodies while they massacre and/or teabag you?

Finally got it, just started it. I am having so much fun with the physics of this game.

That's because it's wrong to profit from unlicensed arrangements. Oh, wait... Well, at least "More than Mario" gave credit where credit was due; this guy certainly made no attempt to do any such thing. Seems unlikely we'll get any followup news from the label about this guy, but it would be nice if we could find out exactly what ends up happenning to him.

Awesome! Nice work!
