Tellyn Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 just a question, but is this game 100% certain to be online? Yes, otherwise Sakurai's head will be on a pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomJcg Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 hmm watching the newest movie, you can easily predict game moves and powers, for one i reckon all characters can crawl (done by snake and wario) and pit can only jump/fly like jigglypuff and kirby whereas i think meta knight can glide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreak Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 just a question, but is this game 100% certain to be online? No. "As far as Wi-Fi play is concerned, Sakurai has confirmed some functionality.[26][17] However, as stated in the Toukouken on the Japanese version of the Smash Bros. website, "there would be many hurdles to cross," and an online ranking system is unlikely to be implemented" Sakurai has never stated that online play is a certainty. The only thing that's been said is when Iwata said he was "pushing" for an online Smash Bros to be at the Wii launch, even that is not 100% confirmation of an online mode. Considering the complexity and speed of Smash Bros it's pretty unlikely that the game will be online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Thing is though, if that is true, that would probably mean that Iwata is currently repeateadly slamming Sakurais head in a car door somewhere, yelling and screaming as Regginald Fils-Aime calmly smokes a cigarette, keeping a sharp eye out, diswading intervention as blood trickles past his shoes. *SLAM SLAM* "Put online into the game!"

ShadowV7 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I'll believe Iwata saying that it is online.I don't care about the ranking system that much.I just want to play people online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 This has to be online. simple as that. It would be a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Thing is, without online, all that would happen is that they would have scope for a sequel on the same console. That means more $$ for Nintendo. Of course, Nintendo aren't that greedy. Are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goron_3 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Without online I'd cry. That said, I'll buy it. Why? Because I adore melee. it's the most perfectly balanced game i've ever play; I adore everything about it. Of course I'm going to buy brawl, but if there's no online I'll be disappointed.

Dante Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Who thinks the site updates will go like this? Monday: Game Modes or Notices? Tuesday: Music & Stages Wednesday: Characters - Veteran Fighters Thursday: Items Friday: Characters - Newcomers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I don't think we're gonna get newcomer info until all the characters had their new screens shown. Newcomers are Pit,MetalKnight, Wario and ZeroSuit Samus so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Newcomers are Pit,MetalKnight, Wario and ZeroSuit Samus so far. By newcomers i figured you meant we would get a new character unveiled every friday. That would be expecting too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Nintendo made a big thing about finally having online, if they don't start implementing it in their games then what's the point? "there would be many hurdles to cross" Yeah it will be hard to do but that doesn't mean they shouldn't do it. It would be a huge mistake for Nintendo if the game isn't online. Good thing I believe it will be online, otherwise I'd go mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaggis Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 My reason for asking if the game was certain to be online or not was because on the smash bros website it says "Players 1-4" and no mention of online. I bet you anything we've been screwed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you anything we've been screwed over. I bet you anything legions of Nitnendo fans took what Iwata said as set in stone, despite the game not even being in production at the time and didn't bother to listen to what the director of the game said since then. It's not like Iwata promised it in the first place, he said he wanted it. I want online just as much as the next guy, but it's not that big a deal. Playing with friends next to you is a lot more fun than even the best online service, voice chat or not. This game is adding and changing so much anyway, it'll be amazing with or without online. Anyone who decides not to get this purely because it lacks online is a fool, in my opinion, it'll wipe the floor with Melee in every respect.

Goron_3 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 The thing is, it's very diffucult to make this playable online. A lot of people are going to be playing competitively, and even those that aren't are going to get frustrated if there are lag issues at the the most important times. The graphics look great and seeing as it will be running at 60fps, expecting too much from the online mode is getting your hopes high. I mean, 4 players running around throwing items...i don't think that's going to be happening tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
