I really hate pause in fighting games. In melee I always tried sneaking the "turn off pause" option if I knew I was playing with a pauser.

Yeah I think it's edit too, either the way Despain said or you could edit it with your Wiimote (draw/color stuff etc.) or maybe both! Idk tho, but it would be cool if it was both!

This is the reason for the delay.

A playable demo with SMG or some other game would be pretty awesome. I'd dish out the money just for the demo.

Not sure if these have been poster here but I decided to include some video links for you guys.

And finally, a link to an online petition for a playable demo (either downloadable or a demo disc with some other Wii title). More likely than not, it will achieve nothing, but I signed it anyways. Can't hurt. They were initially going to send it in after 1000 signatures but it has gotten around 2500 in 2 days: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SSBBDemo

I was watching some of the Brawl videos and noticed something. Maybe it's just me, but I think I heard Metaknight talking. And a rock remix of the Kirby victory theme.

Metaknight talked in every video where it showed his victory scene, I didn't find it that strange

I just realised... Smash online is useless due to lag.

I just realised... Smash online is useless due to lag.

99% of fighting games now are nearly lagless online (P2P Kaillera, IaMP/MBAC's Caster, Monster and the now defunct Poporu all had nearly lagless connections) so unless Nintendo are huge retards about online play, it should be nearly lagless in 1v1 games at least.

I really hope they work on the Fire Emblem stage. It looks unfinished. On the plus side the music is great!

A lot of people are guessing Megaman is going to be in this Wednesday (a day before E for All). There's a cryptic message posted on Capcom's website that reads:

??? ???? ????????????? ???? ??? ????????? ? ????? ? ??????.

??????? ???????? ??? ? ?????!

A bunch of people are guessing the second line says "prepare yourself for a fight" or "prepare yourself for a brawl" which makes sense if you think about the title. Probably has nothing to do with Megaman, but we can always hope. There's supposed to be a Capcom conference this Wednesday I believe. Maybe we'll hear something then.

EDIT: Also found a timer to go with this: http://www.capcom-unity.com/
