How are they going to deal with lag? Some things in SSBM required pretty precise timing to pull off, I'd hate to be knocked out because lag screwed up my double jump + airdash back to safety.

Even a 100ms ping would be pretty darn noticeable in a fighting game.

Seriously, where I am, it's hard to find a good, willing smasher, so this helps people like me stay sharp. Yay Internets!

(I'll be the Pikachu . . . or the Pokémon Trainer . . . I may pick up the Ice Climbers, Meta Knight, or Pit from time to time . . . >_>)

In a game like Smash, online play can never be a true replacement for playing with your friends in person...but it's a nice option for when you can't get together for a night of Smashination.

ICE CLIMBERS

It's not like friend codes are anything new. I heard Xbox Live calls them Gamertags.

That pic is awesome. Not as good as CAD's gamer's glossary on internet speak, but damn...


And yes, Nintendo better do away with this friend code bull shit. So help me if I have to deal with fucking mognet again when they put FF4 on the DS (SE doesn't care for it either)...

I remember playing Melee at a Anime Convenstion. I used to think I was good, till I got my butt kicked all over the place at a Anime Convenstion. Even with my best character, I only got in 2nd place and was beat by Peach. Some people can really play Melee... having the game online will make the game so much better... if you think your good and can beat your friends, even at the mall, you have no idea what your getting into when you face people who play the game to death.

This will be a huge welcome to the series, I can't wait to see what else is in the game.

Some people take the game WAY TOO 4 SERIOUS. It's playing Smash with asshats such as them that makes me very unexcited about the game.

The thing about Melee is that 90% of all advanced techniques can't be figured out by the average joe on his own. Most people that are good at Smash frequent the Smash World Forums (aka Smashboards) and read up on various techniques such as L-canceling, shuffling and wavedashing and watch videos of advanced players in action. Without those techniques, most players don't stand a chance against an "advanced player" no matter how much experience they have.

Then there's the fact that most people don't take Super Smash Bros seriously and only play it casually, and the fact that most of your opponents will be equally clueless about all these hidden techniques and strategies.

Meh, same thing could be said about any competitive game really.

P.S. Peach is pretty high up on the tier list.

It happens in all fighting games, really.

I remember and arcade I used to frequent (before it closed) and it had Soul Calibur II. There was this Kumite-like mode in the arcade version that allowed you to take any character and the system would build an AI out of them based on how you played them. It would literally build the AI to emulate your style of play, so when you played Conquest mode, all you really were doing was 8 consecutive one-round fights to rank up and "teach" your character.

Whenever you finished your Conquest game (you could start a conquest game by entering its name an password), that character could be challenged by other Conquest players. I'm an Ivy player, so she was my conquest character and most regarded me as one of the best Ivy players they had met.

There were days I'd be in the mall or the food court and see one of the arcade's patrons pass me by with a "fuck you" glare (or they'd just say it outright to me). Its rather gratifying to be able to kick someones ass in a fighting game and not even have to be there. But its even better when you're winning and standing right behind them watching
