I decided to boot up Grand Theft Auto: Vice City earlier today. I almost forgot that game has the greatest fucking soundtrack EVER!
[SIZE="1"]Too bad the PC version of the game is kind of wonky, so I can't play it very long without getting disgusted with the movement/camera…[/SIZE]

And, I'd also like to bring attention to two Mario Galaxy stars: Bouldergeist Daredevil Run, and Luigi's Purple Coins. Evil. The three Green Star galaxies are cakewalk compared to these two.
How good? I'm looking for a movie to take my new girlfriend to that isn't a.) an R-rated horror flick, b.) a romantic comedy, or c.) a hour and a half festival of bullets an car chases.
I can't seem to find much, for some reason...
Pikachu? Hard to control? Nonsense. Pikachu has been my favorite character since the SSB days (although not necessarily my best character). Once you understand how to use his B-up move, then you can take a ton of damage without dying. I regulary push 150 with him, in some large levels I can get up to 300.
It's mainly that: A. He moves quickly and randomly, and B. I can't use his final smash. It's got to be the hardest in the game
And Amaster, the movie had two car chase scenes, but most of it wasn't random shooting and chases and stuff.
Moving quickly and randomly is great, and his B, you just have to get used to it. Try doing target practice with Pikachu and you'll get it. And yes, his final smash is very difficult. I've only played Brawl a few times, but I'm getting better with it.
So after playing Mother 3, I have one questiong to ask Nintendo: Of all the people from mother 3 they could have put in Brawl, why Lucas? His brother Claus would have been a much better choice, as he knows PSI and can turn into a half human half robot type thing. He would have been a much better choice for Brawl than Lucas.
Amaster42, see Pineapple Express! I was expecting that movie to suck, but it's funny as hell.
You basically can be Claus, with the palette swaps. [shrug]
Masked Man though, would've been rad. Or atleast that as his final smash or something.
I hate how Marth's sword is shorter! I don't think I'll ever get used to that. He's my favorite character. I mastered him, now I have to master him again.
^^They should have kept Roy. The speed, the power. My best character by far.
I always loved it when people thought that Roy was the best character in the game and Marth had no chance, but then I annihilate them without even barely taking a scratch. I admit it's all in the person playing, but they were pretty good.
I preferred Roy over Marth, but I sucked at the game anyway.
I honestly think Roy is better. He's just harder to master. A video game club I attended in high school consisted of many good players, including a Roy player and a Marth player. The Roy player would always win, hands down.
Not that I'm saying Marth is bad. I certainly think he is a close second, and much easier to master at that.

I hate that Nintendo made that change. I ended up discarding Marth for Snake and Sonic because of that.

Ｓｗｉｔｃｈｅｄ ｏｕｔ ｆｏｒ Ｓｎａｋｅ？ Ａｒｅ Ｙｏｕ ｃｒａｚｙ？
Last semester at my college, my gaming (Anime/Sci-Fi actually. 😞 ) club had a "Game Night." We featured a Brawl Tournament there. Professionals from the region were invited, and a surprising amount of them showed up. They put our own MGL pro CARab00 to the grinding stone, that's for sure. The final round was me vs a snake player. (My sparring partner, actually.) I chose link due to his ranged and melee potential, but his snake utilized every trick in the book, (Especially that nasty rolling attack into up+a combo glitch.) and we both had one life left, and I was just a bit too far under the platform to spin attack back up. That, and he got me with his Bair.
Bastard. 😛
Never underestimate Snake Players. Or Dedede players, apparently. I'm still in shock that Zelgadis switched from Fox (In Melee.) to Dedede.

Unlike past SSB games, I don't see any one character that's considered "better" than all the others. Granted, Snake has some strange moves I had to get used to (especially his smashes), but I guess he just suits my playing style. Marth's loss of range really ticked me off enough that I started trying out other characters (no, I did not jump all over Snake immediately; I was skeptical of him at first).
Okay, so technically I still play as Marth, just not as much as I used to.

Agreed. Even I hate DeDeDe, but that doesn't mean no one is good with him. In fact, my cousin plays as DeDeDe regularly.
On a side note, has anyone ever had Powerthirst? You should give it a try. It works! 😃
Unlike past SSB games, I don't see any one character that's considered "better" than all the others.It's going to sound a bit weird, but my vote for this one goes to Pikachu, with the slight possibility of Pit as a followup. Whenever anyone chooses Pikachu, everyone else tries to get them out of the game first. Pikachu has so many ridiculously nasty combos that I can't even list them all. (That's a great way to introduce a thesis. 🙄 ) His Ground Downsmash is simply ridiculous, and people enjoy spamming it to get out of tight situations. His Aerial Forward has some crazy priority, and works well in tandem with his Aerial Neutral and Aerial Reverse. Follow it up with a quick Aerial Down, and then a Groundsmash when you land. I've seen this work so many times. I hate Pikachus. I even feel dirty playing as one.

As always, I use Link. Not Toon Link; Link. I can rape with his Final Smash.
�rape \rāp\ v 1 : to carry away by force 2 : to deprive
(In other words: pwn. 😛)
I mostly used Link in Melee. I never played Brawl but I imagine I would use Toon Link, 'cause I luuurve The Wind Waker.
Sonic is my current main. Although his lack of killing moves is annoying. I can rack up a ton of damage as him, I just can't finish it as quickly as I'd like.
I just beat Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on Hyper Mode. I'm a very happy Pineconn. 😃
It was pretty intense at the end... but I learned all the pitfalls and patterns.
I'm still missing 5 gold tokens, though.....
Hyper mode was so hard to beat, especially the final boss. I remember having a near-full phazon bar at the end of the first phase and spending 3/4 of the second phase healing.
I think I obtained most of the tokens (might be missing 1 or 2 blue ones). Of course, that doesn't do me any good when I have no green tokens. 😞
Toon Link is sufficiently different in Brawl that only his Up+A, Standing A, Ground Forward Tilt, and most of his B Moves are the same, sort of. (Arrows don't count. .. for some reason.) His Bair move is exceptional as a "wall of pain" maneuver. Do it up sirs. Do it up. Adult Link's Bair is best suited for groundwork.
My favorite might be marth as a character, but my favorite character to actually play as is Mario by far. He's simple, fast, powerful, a small target, and very unknown to most players as they generally look him over. You can't get better than Mario, unless you like to be second player.

*spoiler warning*
Hah. I found myself with a 1/3-full Phazon bar at the end of Dark Samus, a 1/4-full bar at the end of AU battle 1, and 3/4-full bar at the end of AU battle 2 (the end). However... haha... well... I find that I need to stun and damage the AU 5 times during the first battle, and when I stunned it the 5th time, I had an almost completely empty Phazon bar. However... I wasn't able to get to it quickly enough to pull the hatch/armor open to kill it and move on to the final phase of the battle, so I had to endure it a 6th time. I took some damage this time... I actually got hit by it's deadly purple beam.
But I beat it. Good times, good times.

Luigi fucking owns! I'm not talking about in SSB; he's just awesome in general. <3 Luigi.
Luigi's pretty good. He and Mario are so balanced though, that they don't have one strong area for me to capitalize on.
