Yeah, they're wrong, if VGChartz is to believe. Even if Smash did sell a little more than Double Dash, it would be far from "easily". 

well yes, they just aint got no clue. i mean Mario Kart.... 

I love this bit:

The end result is a fighter which plays incredibly fast, is highly responsive, and whose inner-depth is a rabbit hole with no discernible end. Unskilled button mashers will be able to jump into the bouts with a façade of prowess, but skilled players will draw upon each fighter's unique strengths, avoid their weaknesses, and capitalize on properly timed smashes; eventually, the men shall be separated from the boys. It seems almost silly to suggest that a fighter whose move sets revolve around two buttons and an analog stick or direction pad could offer so much in the way of on-the-fly fight variety, not to mention control flexibility, but there's no denying the truth and the more you play the more you will come to believe it.

There goes your "button masher" argument and "fighter game" elitism. 

I played this game for about 3 hours tonight instead of doing my homework. I'm about to get 4 or 5 hours of sleep, and then try to write my paper in a 2 hour break at school. This game will be the end of me. The oldschool Mario Bros. arcade level is the coolest thing I've seen in my life. I just need to get to event #28 and unlock that secret super bonus spoiler stage, and then my life will be complete.





And I just posted this in the countdown thread before I saw this new thread:


Complaining about the single player mode of a FIGHTING game? That's odd. What fighting game has ever had a good single player mode? At least this one mixes up the fighting with awesome videos, character changes, branching paths, platforming sections, and items to collect. I can't think of another fighting game with a single player mode half this good. 8 or so hours to beat it? DAMN. Sounds like the greatest single player fighter of all time to me.

I haven't played the Emissary yet, but I've played Vs. for hours and hours and it's heaven. 11 out of 2!

8 or so hours... Does that mean, longer than CoD4 ;D

Take that comment with a pinch of salt, I love CoD4. I'm waiting to see a reviewer give the Sound of SSBB less than a perfect ten and their reasoning for it. I'm disappointed that they didn't talk about how great the cutscenes are with the crossing paths of the characters, but it was a good review.

IMO if you liked Kirby Superstar and that format, you will love SSE.

Mmmmm, Nintendo-branded heroin. Nice review. I was actually expecting their score to be a little lower. I take back my IGN bitching in the other thread (although I still think NMH got shafted).

The 8.5 graphics thing is the only real complaint I have. What's a Wii game have to do to get a 10?

Anyone watch the video review yet? I'm watching it now. It's alright so far besides a few gripes. They call Fox, Wolf, and Falco "identical characters with identical smashes... basically just a model swap." I don't understand how they could have played the game and still say this. They also say SSE isn't as "deep as an RPG." Kind of a dumb comparison considering it's a fighting game. 

brawl will be amazing i cant wait.

A 9.5

Exactly what it deserves.

Their complaints only seem to try justifying giving the score a less than perfect. Which we all know they do not give because they refuse to "doll" out perfect scores.

I mean, the third party complaint is about as stupid as it gets. But nitpicking aside, this game is everything it is supposed to be and then some.

How can you complain about Subspace when it is completely unnessary. You do not need to touch it to gain secret characters. Co-op included, thee innovation is amazing to be disrespected in such a way.

"What's a Wii game have to do to get a 10?"

They are not going to give a Wii game a 10. If this game does not deliver the "10" package, what game does? No Wii game should get a 10 from them in my opinion.
