Haha, I can't relate, I've only finish 18% in SSE.
Play online with us, it's where the game really shines, plus it's the only way we can accurately assess your skill. ^_^

That's comical. I bought it specifically FOR playing SSE. I really don't care about playing online. Some night I might get really bored and try it out, PM somebody here on VGChartz and see how that works. I did the evercrack thing and I stay away from online now (not that SSBB is that addictive, or is it?).

 I do want to complete the challenges, classic mode and maybe the target thing (althought I think the target thing is kinda dumb). And I'm going to go back and try it on normal for a couple stages and see how it is. Now that I know there is a difference between nuetral A and right A or pressing A while you're falling and fall on an enemy, likewise for B moves. Then if I'm cruising through normal I'll go up to hard and try slogging my way through that.

I remember the game was being criticized for no story. WTF?! WHAT IN HOLY HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? I'm serious when I say the cutscenes were some of the best I've seen in years, and there are some I believe I'll remember until I really start forgetting everything. It's funny sometimes the things people remember when they get alzheimers. But more about... holy hell, there was some real plot twists and I was quite surprised how things got sorted out. I'm really glad I kept away from any spoilers about SSE.

So, maybe SSE is oriented towards "less-skilled"* gamers like me. I dunno.

No, it isn't as addictive as evercrack.
Usually when people get addicted in MMOs they just keep playing.
It's like a nonstop cycle of better items and levels, the game is just set-uped that way.
SSBB isn't. And even if people do get addicted in SSBB, they usually start playing competitively, and once addicted SSBB players start losing, they start hating the game. Unlike when you're just playing casually, win or lose, you're just having fun.

Anyway, what I noticed from the threads that popped up when SSBB first came out, the general consensus around VGC gave me an impression that Subspace emissary is boring.
I think it's kind of fun playing with a friend.
And going by your impressions, it looks like I'm in for quite a treat.
Though I'm confident SSE still can't beat the fun experience of 4 player multiplayer, offline or online.
I would recommend paying offline multiplayer with some friends first , to get a feel for what it's like to play SSBB against other people, don't forget to turn items on. ^_^
Personally I prefer playing offline multiplayer better than online.
