liquid wind Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 *walks into dead thread* so does anyone still play at all? I want to play some of you if anyone still does Quote
Hum4n After All Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I haven't played in a while. I was looking at my Wii last night and I was getting the slight urge to play. Last thing I played Nintendo related was Melee. Which I was having a ball because I was actually able to knee motherfackles with Captain Falcon. And ripping new ones with Ganondorf. But Brawl I must. I can hear Snake calling out to me. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Brawl got old fast for some reason. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 My wii doesn't seem to want to connect to the internet, presently. And it's really too much a pain in the ass to try to catch people online one way or another. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I don't seem to want to connect my Wii to the internet. Or cut the power on for that matter. Then again I suppose this doesn't matter for me since I am currently not a gamer. It's all music for me right now. Quote
liquid wind Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Brawl got old fast for some reason. yeah I've felt that way a lot myself, I still play it a pretty good amount because I have nothing better to do though, no other internet games I play right now(grrr wii, can't afford a PS3 or 360, not much of a PC gamer...)

Scufo Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Whoa, thread necromancy. So, I got Brawl+ pretty recently. It's a modification to the game that basically makes the physics more Melee-like. Faster falling and more hitstun, plus auto-L-canceling, allowing for actual combos, plus a bunch of other small changes and specific balancing to every character. It's totally fucking awesome. Makes me realize how badly they fucked up Brawl. Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Brawl+ is awesome, agreed. Anyone with a homebrew capable Wii should at least try it once. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 tbh I'd rather just play Melee than go to the whole trouble of homebrewing. Quote
liquid wind Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 yeah, melee is definitely better, I has no one to play with though =/ still though, even discounting brawl+, the texture hacks and stuff like no tripping and unlimited replay codes are good, I'm too lazy to hack but it has benefits Quote
BlackPanther Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 yeah, melee is definitely better, I has no one to play with though =/still though, even discounting brawl+, the texture hacks and stuff like no tripping and unlimited replay codes are good, I'm too lazy to hack but it has benefits Omg thank you lol!!

Scufo Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 It literally takes like 10 minutes to install the homebrew channel and B+ for all you lazies out there. It is also 100% legal. Quote
JCvgluvr Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I've play Brawl off again and on again every since I got it. Very few games have that kind of replay value for me nowadays! Also: tbh I'd rather just play Melee than go to the whole trouble of homebrewing. Quote
Drack Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Video game tester is a shitty job, guys. Terrible pay. Expected overtime, especially close to the game's release. You're VERY replaceable. If you can't handle bad working conditions, you're fired because there are plenty of people who will. You're not expected to PLAY the games so much as try everything that can be done to find bugs. And above all, the games suck. You don't get to pick and choose what games you test, and by far the majority of what's getting tested are crap games. No, I'm not a tester. But I know plenty of them.

Thalzon Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Of course, most jobs are reptitive bullshit anyway. I never homebrewed Brawl because tripping and losing and wavebouncing and all that shit don't really matter that much to me. It's a game I play with friends every once in a while. I mean if you're making money off it being serious business more power to you. But eh. Quote
Bleck Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 brawl+ is a good thing because random tripping is the worst gameplay mechanic I've ever fucking seen Quote
defender!! Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 LOL wow! i remember this thread! i went to my first tournament before this thread and whined when i got chaingrabbed by ice climbers i kinda stopped going to tournaments for a while after that but then got back into it. i'm probably the best DDD player in my region now, and my region is good enough for that to actually mean something. anyway yeah, i still play it! and brawl+ is great fun too. i missed jigglypuff so much.

Sure, but you're comparing this to "real" jobs rather than minimum wage grunt work that you do to make some initial money and work your way up the dignity ladder. In terms of that, I'd sure as hell rather be a tester than, say, working in a fast food joint and having to deal with obnoxious fat people and hot grease burns. Quote
Salluz Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 brawl+ is a good thing because random tripping is the worst gameplay mechanic I've ever fucking seen OMG REELISTIK! Pfft. I guess they didn't want players to rely on running as a crutch but no one trips that often. It didn't make the game any more interesting or enjoyable; it made it suck. Banana peelings blow enough ass whether you're walking or running so WTF? I'm a calm person but that shit gives me gamer's rage. Causeless negative instances without any source = fail. Quote
Global-Trance Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 So did anyone get good at this? I basically quit playing regular Brawl all together and stuck with Brawl+. Quote
The Derrit Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 i was alright for awhile, did well on allisbrawl (lol online) but once i got back home i just played melee again. i actually hosted a tournament with legitimate people this summer (darc and sleepyk and all their friends came) it was awesome Quote
Gario ⚖️ Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 There was a time when I played Smash Bros straight for 6 years. Sadly, I stopped playing about a year ago since I couldn't get any internet on the wii (and therefore couldn't get Brawl to work online), so I just said to myself 'What's the point?' and walked away from it (I live in the middle of nowhere, so I can't just invite people to play it with me irl). Brawl+ sounds epic, by the way. Quote
