Agree. :p On the contrary, I think the safe zone makes this level even more frantic, as everybody competes to get in it first. It'll be like the good ol' fights over a Poké Ball, only in this case losing means instant KO in 99.5 percent of the instances.

Why do people hate Star Fox Adventures and Krystal so much? I know the game was a huge and an awkward jump from the old formula, but remember it was originally not a Star Fox game. And for an adventure game, it was quite good.

Well, when someone says "shut up" to me, I take it they've got something against me or something I said. Maybe I'm just sensitive. No matter, I was merely surprised by the reaction my comment spurred, and since the reaction seemed to be negative, I wanted it cleared up immediately. I simply hate to be on someone's bad side.

Hm, seems we have a few disagreements regarding the Star Fox series, Iun. :p We'll just have to see how the next game turns out. Oh, and where do I sign up for that Lightsaber game?

I was thinking particularly about Goron_3's comments. And just because I'm not facing the person in real life doesn't mean I shouldn't worry about his or her feelings. I know some people would take advantage of that, but I won't be pushed around.

A Wii wish list? Nice idea, let's see if I can come up with some. Star Fox: Back to the Roots (tentative title) A Star Fox game that goes back to the old Lylat Wars formula, just with Wii-fied controls and sticking to the current storyline (with Krystal - you all how much I like her :p). Since Nintendo tried it with Assault (just without luck), the likelihood of such a game seems to be: Very Likely Shooter: Red Steel/Corruption Combo There are already a number of shooters for the Wii, and although I enjoyed Red Steel, I think it can be done better. What I really want is a shooter that doesn't just sell on the Wii-shooter controls, but also has nice graphics (at least better than Red Steel) and an interesting storyline. Corruption does it well, but it's also a sci-fi adventure game - I'm thinking a shooter in a Red Steel world done on Corruption level. Since both the idea and the technical aspects have been done, it shouldn't be very hard to combine. I deem the likelihood: Very Likely Fantasy Fencing The idea has been touched upon by Red Steel - the technical aspects just needs to be vastly improved: Better sensitivity (not stronger - better), more accurate controls (complete real-life movements are not needed, but it can be done a lot better than in Red Steel), and RPG-like storyline and possibilites. Boiled down to four words: Oblivion on the Wii. Likelihood: Likely Wow, I'm starting to sound like some spoiled brat. That was not intended. :p

A few people just seemed to be offended by what I said. Since I hate offending others, I wanted to apologize. I have gotten on wrong terms with members of a forum before because of misunderstandings, just like in this case.

If I have offended anyone with my previous comment, I want to apologize. I was of the impression that not many people in here took the extreme Smash players seriously, so I saw no hurt in poking a little fun at them. My comment seems to have been taken more seriously and harsh than I intended it to, so I want to clear things up: I never meant what I said in a cynical or hurtful way, and I never wanted to offend anyone. And for this misunderstanding, I apologize.

Hang on, what did I do wrong? I meant nothing bad with what I said. I just wanted to poke a little fun at those extreme players who worship the game. Just like in the recent edition of GamerPALs.

Who cares about them, anyway?

I really don't see why they would replace a character from the original Smash Bros. with a new character. The fact that Sakurai emphasizes the differences in their movesets also makes me think Ness is in. I don't see why not. The "up until now" line is just as vague as the one about the number of Smash Balls per match, so that doesn't prove anything.

I don't know if it qualifies, but the ending to the movie Phenomenon needs to be processed a few times in your mind after seeing it.

That's EXACTLY how I feel! Except you're much better at putting it down on paper (the screen) than me. :P Same for me. I literally jumped out out of the chair at both occations. When someone mentions Krystal, it's physically impossible for me not to comment: I completely agree with you.

Cool updates on the Dojo today - the Fire Emblem music theme and a Subspace Emissary video with Diddy Kong and Fox. It's cool that they show some of Fox's moves in the clip.

Thank you for your nice comments. And I agree with you, too: I hate stereotyping and prejudice very much.

As I'm from Denmark and followed the case from when the cartoons were first published, I feel I should contribute to this. See, it all started because some artists refused to draw some pictures of Muhammed for a book about Islam because it according to the religion is forbidden to depict Muhammed and the artists feared the response of some the more religious Muslims. This prompted the Danish newspaper JyllandsPosten (JP) to write an article about the right of free speech and how Muslims in Denmark needed to learn about the Danish tradition of making fun of everyone and everything from religion to the royal family. To emphasize this, the paper asked a number of artists to draw comical cartoons of Muhammed. Many refused, but some agreed and drew the cartoons that "The fish" posted. In Denmark, no Muslims really got upset about it. Some people (both Danes and Muslims) thought the paper had crossed the line, but many also thought the paper had done the right thing in bringing up the topic of free speech. The problems really started when some imams took the pictures with them to the Middle Eastern countries. From here it all went down hill, as they also brought a picture of a man dressed like a pig with them and said that it was one of the cartoons, when in fact it was a picture from some sort of festival in Germany (I'm not 100 percent sure about that, though). The Middle Eastern countries asked for an apology from the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, but he refused as the newspapers are independent (i.e. have no connection with the government) and are protected by the right of free speech and press. From this time on, the debate in Denmark went on about if we should use the free speech to provoke in order to prove we had the right to do so, or if we should respect Islam's wishes about not making fun of Muhammed. The problems raged on in the Middle East as Danish embassies were being burned down and the imams who had brought the cartoons with them were being criticised here in Denmark for causing trouble for the country. It got even worse when one of the prominent imams had been caught in a French documentary saying on hidden camera "if someone wasn't going to bomb a certain popular Danish minister (who is a moderate Muslim) soon". After the airing of this documentary, the imam claimed that "it was a joke taken out of context". He was under heavy fire, but managed to evade being expelled from Denmark. Since then, the crisis has slowly faded out. My own opinion about all of this? I'm not really sure. I'm for free speech and against censorship, but at the same time I don't like when human rights are being misused. I always ask the question: "Is it right to do something just to prove that one can?" And that's where I'll leave it for now.

Chess has always been a favourite of mine, though the lack of opponents and the recent lack of free time have no doubt reduced my skills. I also enjoy Sudokus, though, and I remember playing Mastermind, which is very good for training logical thinking. A good IQ puzzle book is also nice, though I usually find those puzzles a little too hard to do, probably because I haven't figured out how to solve them. :P

Guys, wouldn't it be better to create a "What Mario Kart game is better?" thread? It's an interesting topic, but this is the Smash Bros. Brawl thread after all.

I could be wrong. I think I was actually thinking of that game, but isn't there also a DS KH game coming up? And is Sora in any of those games at all?

Well, my internet connection isn't very fast and my Wii certainly feels the effect of that, so it may also be the source of your problem. I haven't got very much technical knowledge (pretty much none), though, so I might be wrong.

When you expect people to know what you're saying without actually saying anything (like Link).

In my mind, Sora would work very well in Smash Bros., but does it count that he has appeared on the DS?

Stage builder? ... did he say ... I mean, did I hear right? ... stage ... you mean we can ... stage builder ... so we can actually ... dare I say it? ... build ... our own ... STAGES?! OHMYGODI'MONFIRE! *faints* This is ... I can't even find an appropriate adjective for this! I love you, Sakurai! I love you, Nintendo!

Oh, yeah, that one's great, too.

Cool! I felt it had so much emotion. I'm very sure that Midna's theme and the ending scene tune had some of the elements from that tune.
