This is somewhat in response to mackillian's thread.
How many people here play Wi-fi enabled games on a Wii?
I'm planning on at least renting Super Smash Bros. Brawl for awhile.

I intend on it when I get broadband at home. But that'll be a while.

I plan on winning Smash Bros Brawl at a tournament come Saturday at Midnight.
My brother and I are training all week for it in fact.
I'll be playing SBB online alot once it's out.

Are you kidding?
Brawl for the win!
Posted by Starsnuffer (Member # 8116) on :
I don't know of/play any online games on my wii currently, though hope to/plan to do so once Brawl comes out (big midnight release plans this weekend yesss).
Posted by C3PO the Dragon Slayer (Member # 10416) on :
Midnight?? You'll be so tired that you won't be able to enjoy it when you start playing it right away!
Me, I'm getting it right after spiritual rejuvenation at church.

The only game I've played online for Wii was Mario Strikers, and unless you connect to one of the few people who doesn't use cheap exploits, it's not very fun. I did have a few good games against my cousin, though.
I've never been a huge fan of the Brawl series, but I might check it out.
The game I'm really looking forward to playing online is Mario Kart.

Yeah, there are a TON of poor sports on Nintendo Wi-fi, which is why I was hoping some of us would like to trade friend codes and play together.

Technically the tournament starts at 9:00pm but I can't walk off with the game until midnight. I can't buy the game on Sunday along with everybody else as it's the sabbath.
I find a certain level of continuity that in order to prove that I deserve to play Brawl I have to mop the floor with all the folks I can at Melee first.
Posted by Starsnuffer (Member # 8116) on :
Haha, my friends and I have been mopping the floor with each other for long enough in Melee. I'm trying to decide how I could/should plot my sleep schedule so I can either stay up late Saturday night and Sunday morning or whatever else. I think I'll stay up friday, sleep in Sat. Then sleep at a normal time Sunday night.
This week is finals for me, so it's sorta a party that Brawl is coming out Posted by Flaming Toad on a Stick (Member # 9302) on :
My very first Strikers game online, I played and beat the sixth-ranked player in the world. No kidding. It was awesome.
I plan on kicking all sorts of ass in Brawl, when it arrives.

I just bought a wii two days ago, but I don't think I have anything I can play online. At the moment, I am still enjoying wii sports and wii game arcade. Also, Mercury Revolution is awesome.

Flaming Toad on a Stick: WOW! Teach me your secrets, I'm terrible at Strikers!

Secrets? Okay, how about this.
You can hold the shoot button to charge the ball, then press the pass button to pass it and keep the charge. The ball charges faster this way than by passing it around. Even when the ball is fully charged, charging your shot with a powerful character will make it more effective than just tapping the shot button. You can also use a dodge while charging a shot, which is effective with characters like Birdo and DK, as they can throw a defender's tackle aside, then charge and shoot.
It's possible to use effective (read:cheap) moves with pretty much any character, so learn everyone's moves well. Using Dry Bones as an example: when the ball is charged, he can use his dodge to go right past the goalie into the net. His fully charged shot shocks the goalie, and following up with a lob shot will usually go in if done right.
Be sure to have at least one person with perfect passing, and always go for sliding interceptions (when the ball's on the ground) and jumping interceptions in the air. To do this, act as if you were receiving the pass, and press the passing button. You can also shoot directly from an aerial interception if you're in the opponent's zone.
Use items effectively, especially when setting up a Megastrike, and learn your captain's moves diligently, and you should be fine.

I got Brawl! And I'm having a blast!
I don't have any friends registered yet (I have at least two friends with it, but I've been stuck at home today so I can't ask them for their friend codes yet), but I have spectated several matches.

I am loving our Wii! I was totally against it and now I am in love with it! I love Boxing! I am actually losing weight and toning my arms! I can't wait to get the WiiFit when it comes out on May. I am going to go reserve one so I am not scrambling like we were to get the Wii! Hubby thinks it's hysterical that I love it so much! I just like that we do it all as a family so I don't feel like we're taking time away from the kids. We're raising little gamers!

If Wii Tennis had online play, I'd probably need an intervention.
Posted by Starsnuffer (Member # 8116) on :
My wii's in the basement and our wireless router is up one floor and probably 20 feet horizontally away and it can't find a signal for the life of it. It has been on the internet in this place before, but not steadily. Are there any adapters to take the RCA out from the wii and get that signal into my computer via S-video, 15 pin monitor cord or more snazzy looking monitor cord slot(or are all those video outs from the computer..) Becuase if so I could play using my computer as a screen much closer to my router. hm. Regardless, it's a great game that I've been playing way too much (my friends and I got it at midnight and were up till 7 playing it haha. fun times). Very pleased with what changes have been made and not disappointed or annoyed about anything obvious that's been left out. yay.

I'm a little disappointed. I ordered SSBB from Toys R Us on preorder back in December, with the understanding that I'd have it yesterday. From what I can tell, it hasn't shipped yet. Honestly, I don't care that much. I'm too busy right now to really get into it, but I'll give them a phone call today.
Despite that, I will plug Toys R Us deal for people. If you buy SSBB from them, they'll give you 50% off one from a list of games. If you were looking to get Guitar Hero III, for example, they'd sell you the bundle for $45, instead of $90.

My friend got HIS preordered Super Smash Bros. three days early...
...and you won't believe what my reaction was when I found out...
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
You're still at his house playing, aren't you?
Posted by C3PO the Dragon Slayer (Member # 10416) on :
No, I have my own copy now, but the transfer did cause a few seizures... Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :
I've got Brawl now, I'll post my friend code soon.
If anyone also has an X-box I thought it might be a good idea to go onto a private chat with that and then play brawl so we can actually communicate with each other, if and when we play.

I've unlocked all the characters, but not quite all the levels. I'll post my FC hopefully tonight when I can look at it.
I tried playing Online with random people and it seems like there is a noticeable lag between hitting the button and it executing on screen? Has anybody else noticed this? Does this problem go away under any circumstances? Do you think it's on Nintendo's end or on my end? I play Xbox live all the time and never have this problem.
Posted by C3PO the Dragon Slayer (Member # 10416) on :
My online plays lagged a split second during the first match, but then leveled out until you couldn't even tell it was an online match.

That was one of the silliest The Onion articles I have ever seen.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
I think "silly" was the point. People think they are doing some athletic tennis move, or exhibiting some bowling prowess, but they are just flailing their wrists around.

Who else has been abusing the Stage Builder?
I've made almost 50 stages now. My favorites include a Giant Tank, a course that looks like a train, a "Wall Jumpers" course (which favors characters like Mario, Lucario, Toon Link, Sonic, etc), a big course that consists of two big slopes forming a huge valley, a series of Battlefield clones that consist of special terrain features, and the first one I ever made: Death Match. I also made a stage where it's impossible to get a KO, which I call "Tigger Movie" because of the way characters bounce all over the place when damage gets racked up.
We should have an official Hatrack Super Smash Bros. Brawl stage exchange!
Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :
I'd like to see some of those maps, of course We'd need to exchange friend codes first! Posted by C3PO the Dragon Slayer (Member # 10416) on :

Also, I'll let Nathan know he needs to check on this thread since he likes SSBB.

Yeah, I built a stage like that after you described it and found that the computer characters in the game would kill themselves with those things after awhile.
