Well I imagine that the shields are bigger to make up for not being able to light shield. It would make sense anyway. To bad still, I used it a lot.

I think they're the same size actually. The only reason you can't lightshield anymore is because some controller options don't have analog capability, so it'd be unfair if you could do it with one controller but not all.

So do you guys use the jump button or just 'up'?

I've tried to teach myself to use the button but I just can't. I have to say though, I do accidentally make wrong moves because of using the 'up.'

I use the jump buttons. Short hopping is ten times easier and you're able to jump and quickly follow up with a down B or a Dair because you can jump and hit down right away instead of having to hit up and then down on the control stick. Just like with using the c-stick for aerials, using the jump buttons basically gives you better DI control and helps with spacing.

Getting rid of "Up" jump would help a lot when trying to do up attacks, so you don't have to worry about accidentally jumping. The only problem I had because I used X to jump was that I sucked at the No Specials Gameplay mode in Melee (You could only use the control stick and like A).

Hey I got a question: Has anyone played against CPUs? If they have, how much more intelligent would you say they've become versus difficulty 9 on Melee? Are there any retarded glitches such as Fox's movement loop on the lower part of the Hyrule Temple, Captain Falcon's down air-smash A jumping move versus an opponent on a high platform, Luigi's inability to simply do his Up+B recovery instead of F/Smash+B "Green  Missile" attack, or Marth's constant Midair+A suicide loop? I hope my question is clear and I didn't confuse anyone in the process.

And I believe I'm on the 3rd-party issue. :P

Yeah, I had that whole problem with hitting up while trying to do up tilts. Luckily, they've added a feature to remove being able to jump with the control stick, so I should be much more efficient with my attacks.

From what I've heard, the CPU AI isn't much better than it was in Melee. Maybe they don't do those same glitches you mentioned, but I wouldn't be surprised if we end up finding new glitches. Hopefully they can recover properly now.

CPU's are less important now that we can play online, I think.

CPU AI is way better.

Level 9's are actually a challenge for most ok players.


If you're a pro, well, it's the best AI you'll prolly get unless if they became Super Turbo AI. (please no)

ie: (for those who don't know) Super Turbo AI = knows everything you do before you do it and counters like everything 99% of the time flawlessly

My brother is getting it Monday, but I will already be back at college by then. It will be another two weeks before I go home, but once I do I am snagging the Wii and taking it back to school with me. (Where I will proceed to play smash all day and skip all of my classes)

So I'm thinking of just screwing the tournament and throwing a big party, and then picking up the game at midnight.
If I can't use Falcon, I really have no chance at all of winning, my next big character being Ness, and I doubt Lucas will be of any worth, especially if his PK thunder just passes through enemies.

Also, I just saw that Ray 01 and Isaac are assist trophies, which were my picks along with Olimar.
Lookin good for Smash 4 then I suppose.

Doubt it. I think it's just because people aren't good enough yet. Give it a few more weeks and see what happens.

One more day guys...one horribly long day.

I guarantee within 2 weeks of owning Brawl, I'll be able to at least 2 stock a level 9 CPU (out of 3 stock).

We should all swap friend codes today. With that auto-add feature they have for Brawl, we won't have to worry about doing it later. I'll post mine as soon as I get back from school and have access to my Wii.

Where is everyone getting their copies of Brawl from? My brother pre-ordered his at Blockbuster and they won't be open for the Midnight release, so we have to wait till 10:00am the next morning. :(

And he wasn't going to pre-order from GameStop because he thought that his copy wouldn't be "new", because GameStop employees can take games and they take new and used games out of the cases and put them in the back, so they could've taken a new game home and filed it as new again.

I work nightshift at a Grocery/Electronics store, the Electronics place opens at 8AM, in which i'm done work at 8AM, so all I have to do is march over there, and purchase Brawl, then I get to have fun. :P

When it comes to smash, yes.

My preorder's at gamestop. They've been good with midnight releases before so they were my first choice. I thought blockbuster was only doing rental reservations?
