I wouldn't play in a tourney unless there were items.

HOLY COW! The Zelda songs are like 35 times better than all others from 1-91 combined.

Is this music orchestrated? Because when I was still a GS'er people were VERY upset that it was MIDI, but frankly, if this is MIDI, it still has the best soundtrack ever, tied with OoT, TP and SMG.

So far Brawl is:
Top 3 music.
Nr 1 replay.
Nr 1 multiplayer.
Top 10 singleplayer (it has ALL Nintendo char's in it, and Sakurai made it, it's gonna be top 5, but won't exaggarate)
Nr 1 party game.

Anythnig else?

If Nintendo were EA, they would have given out the following games:

SSE.
SSBB only Brawl.
Events, target smash, and all that.
Expansion pack: 3 extra players (R.O.B MRGW and someone else maybe.

Go Nintendo, they're giving us 5 games (at least) in one.

 No, it wasn't...it wasn't in any popular online video...I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

You can change into ZSS at the very beginning of a match by holding R when selecting Samus.  But if you're playing as Samus, and want to switch to ZSS mid-match without a Smash Ball, you can press up and down very fast on the D-pad, and her armor will break without firing the zero laser.  As far as we know, that had not been discovered by any player yet.

The problem with items is that there are so many uber items in Brawl that can give you really easy and cheap KO's. If we do items we need to only select certain ones. Uber items and healing items should be out IMO.

Then there's always the problem that with items, it's not necessarily the best person who wins, but who has the best luck.

 lolol - shows what a value SSBB is for all the content is has

every brawls old release date i get sick!!! and waaa todays brawls old release date

With this music, I'm afraid people who played OoT and other games are going to sue Nintendo, due to fainting of happiness, and not wake up to work the next day :/.

This is going to be the music I've listened most to ever. Beating Yoshi's Story's soundtrack :P

Nintendo game music > all other music.

Yes, the music is truly epic.

For the tournament here that's a couple weeks after Brawl's release, I'm thinking they will be 1 vs. 1 matches, with some items turned off perhaps.

We can turn off Hearts and Maximum Tomatoes perhaps...food can stay on, though. And we can turn Hammers and Golden Hammers off perhaps...and we'll have to make a decision about Final Smashes. They're pretty powerful, but they're so COOL! We'll have to take a vote I guess.

Awesome, preordered it today.
