Yeah, cool and all, but this game, above all others, deserves a robust online treatment; not this childish not keeping records against strangers/no voice chat/friend code BS. This game needs voice(if ya don't like voice chat, don't use it). It's going to be so much fun playing my brother online with my cell phone strapped to my skull...

ima get my ass handed to me.... all i got to say

Cry some more.  Seriously, how much can you ask of this game...

Scores will be tracked between Friend Codes I'm sure, but they said a long time ago an online ranking system wasn't happening.  You don't need to be talking to someone to enjoy playing them.  If it's that big a deal, get a computer and use this thing called AIM.  That's how I keep in touch with my friends.  Talk to them after the battle...

 

I'm sure headset support will be added later, but personally I wouldn't care if they don't.

I have a headset for my PC, and most of the time I don't use it. As I'm partially deaf, most of the time I can't understand what people are saying... SPECIALLY americans (British, australians = OK). Also, it's useless most of the time, is not like you will build out a strategy or something, it's always like "oh f*cking sniper n00b" or "stop f*cking headshoting f*cking n00b sh*t".

My computer is close enough, and most of my friends' computers are close enough that we can use our PC headsets to chat while playing online Wii games. I have a very long cord for my headset anyway, and the volume/mic controls are close to the headset.

This way, if we wanted to chat during Brawl, it really wouldn't be a problem. Easier than talking on the phone for sure.

Is this the big Sept. Surprise?

I personally don't talk much when playing Smash, other than the occasional curse word...

This is a great update really cool.

i cant wait...

Yea naznatips said it half way up the page also, on page 2 that is.
