I enjoy level updates...they're practically the biggest factor in a battle...

My enjoyment in updates goes like:

Game Info>Stages>Characters>Music>Items.

Different ways that Brawl will be played is the most exciting news...like hearing about a new adventure mode, control options, whatever...these things will really differentiate it from Melee.

And stages are cool, very creative. I enjoy character updates, even if they're old characters, because it's cool to see them with a graphical update. Music updates are nice...I'm really looking forward to the arrangements in this game...the Zelda medley is just amazing. And items are nice...but we haven't seen hardly any yet, so that's probably why it's at the bottom for me...the Cracker Launcher and Banana Peel are pretty sweet...and of course the Smash Ball is epic.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

And yeah, I fell asleep before last night's update...

We aren't limited to the initially available with these updates. I'm positive that some of these characters and stages we have gotten and will get are not initially available.

And I completely disagree about stages being on the boring end (pretty sure most people do). For me it goes Stages > Music > Items > Game Info > Characters. Characters are the most boring by far because we will never get a new character in a character update. They will all be old characters or already announced newcomers.


Personally, I find the Game Info to be the most interesting, but to each their own.

Also, I'm absolutely positive that only initially available characters and stages will be revealed on the site before Dec 3rd.  Why, you may ask?  Let's run the numbers.

First, assume that the number of characters and stages initially available and items will be about that of Melee.  I actually suspect there will be more available in Brawl than in Melee, so using the Melee numbers gives a more conservative estimate.  There were 15 characters (counting Sheik) initially available, and the Sheik situation applies to Samus in Brawl.  So 15 characters, plus the final smash move, and 2 sets of special moves (since there are 4 total but updates have only had two in each) gives 60 updates without delving into hidden characters.

For stages, there were 18 initially in Melee.  Going with that number and multiplying by 2 because there can be a separate music update for each stage, we get 36 updates for stages and music.

There were 31 items and 29 pokemon in Melee.  So that's another 60 updates.

From May 22 to Dec 3, there are nominally 140 updates.  Without going into hidden stages and characters, or even assist trophies, gameplay, standard move lists and other miscellaneous updates, I've listed 156 potential updates. So you see, there are plenty of updates Nintendo can provide without going into hidden characters and stages.



-Manella: Yeah... sux0rz! I hate missing out on food...
-Maya: Nick... what does "Sucksores" mean?
-Phoenix: No idea...

And to stay with the theme, this is my order of interest in info. Purely subjective.

Game Info > (Characters = Items) > Stages > Music

Yes, I find character info and item info equally interesting.

Plus Game Info updates, or How to Play updates...there's probably gonna be at least 10 more of those.

Yep, I completely agree (hence the reason I consider characters to be pretty boring).  I mean really there are no updates that I actually dislike, but characters are rarely new.

Oh by the way, I figured I'd spam this message here, since this thread will last for quite some time hehe.

Anybody interested in getting a free Wii, go to gamefly.com
It really does work. You have to get 5 friends who haven't used gamefly before...and get them to pay for 2 months of service. You have to join gamefly as well.

It's really simple though...if you go to Brightspot.tv, you can watch advertisements...about twenty 30 sec - 1 minute ads a month, and they knock off $10 from your monthly Gamefly fee. Add that to the $5 Gamefly knocks off themselves every 3 months...and you can rent one game at a time for as long as you want for only $3.33 a month. It's pretty kick ass, and if you get the 5 friends to sign up, you get a free Wii or a free year of Gamefly.

I did this through June, and I'll be getting a free Wii in mid-August. Great success!

Whoa whoa whoa!  How does this brightspot thing work.  Give me some more details, because I canceled my gamefly account a couple months ago... if this actually works I'll renew it.

 ban the spammer!!! DON'T CLICK THE LINKS!!!!!

 

sounds really cool $3.33 a month is pretty good. Right now I have Blockbuster Online for $15/m and get 2 movies at a time, plus i can use them as coupons for free movies, and i get 1 free game a month by using a printable coupon in the store, so i'll probably pass on this.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
