1. fighting system is not deep, its about being cheap with moves and getting lucky with items and moving around the environment. In honest opinion it is fun with ur friends but it is seroiusly NOT a deep fighting system, more of a button masher.

2. graphics of last gen. This alone should drop it 5pts. like seroiusly, each generation = better graphics, not the SAME.

3. online play with friend codes. psh. at this day and age, friend codes are bad. protect kids? give parents opntion to turn mic off. because at this day and age, such limitations shouldn't happen. and if the kid is able to go online and have a wii, im pretty sure the parents should know how to turn some settings offs, parental control anyone?

4. u dont use the wiimote fully, this alone should drop one full letter grade.

8.2 is more of a deserving grade

9.5 is simple TOO HIGH

not trying to be hating and all, but 9.5???? (gamespot getting paid by nintendo to give high ratings like how eidos tried to pay a while back? i dunno, highly likely) thats a little too high for a game that is like last gens version but with more char, more unlockables, and a cheap online mode.

but w.e. if this games gives u a chance to ask that girl in class to come over and play, good for u.

This reminds me of the Halo 3 damage control.

But every thread like that had 5 straight replies consisting only of "9.5".

First of all, there is a sticky.

Second: The fighting system may appear shallow, but with the improved mechanics in these game you can do combos, advanced techniques, etc. By this I mean the game is pretty deep, and when pros start finding some glitches, it will be more deep.

Third, last-gen graphics? It looks impressive for the Wii and runs in a constant 60 FPS, I dont know what you are talking about.

Fourth: Online play, although shallow, it is quite good, since you don't get lag. You can also fight with random players or share your FC in the forums.

Lol at your last point: There is an option which lets you move your arms if you want, but I think you don't like to move your arms since you like to bash the Wii, so this point is quite useless.

And finally, HAVE you PLAYED it?

back in my day we used to play games before we complained about them. Or at the very least made it sound like we knew anything about the game.

In response to each of your points:

1. You're clearly never gotten into the game

2. It's still a great-looking game, and I'd rather hang onto my extra $150 than spend it on a more powerful system for better graphics

3. Friend codes are a minor annoyance, but that's the worst you can say about them

4. So?

Have you played the game? I don't think you have. Its easy to complain about a game you've never played, I can do so easily. However, its a lot harder to lie about it when you've actually played it and given it a chance.

"its about being cheap with moves" Skilled players can easily own noobs who are "cheap with moves." It's about knowing when and how to use the moves.

"and getting lucky with items" They have it so that you can turn off the items for a reason. Or have you not playe it, or read about that option, that has been in the games since before Brawl was announced. ;)

"and moving around the environment." Skilled players will know where and how to use the environment to their advantage. It's not luck, it's skill.

"In honest opinion it is fun with ur friends but it is seroiusly NOT a deep fighting system, more of a button masher." You can learn techniques (AKA skills) which you can use to own noobs who button-mash. I'd hate to see anybody who button mashes in this game going up with somebody who learns the actual skills needed to play the game.

"graphics of last gen. This alone should drop it 5pts." Better than GC, very strong for a Wii. BU-BU-BUT T3H HD grafxxx!111 :cry:

"online play with friend codes. psh. at this day and age, friend codes are bad. protect kids?" I don't want 10 year old kids screaming in my ears. I don't care for the mic on the 360 either. But I guess you're right, they should give us the option to have people screaming "ZOMG, cheap moves, thoze arent t3h skillz becuz I dont know how to do them111"

"u dont use the wiimote fully, this alone should drop one full letter grade." One of the few things I agree with you about, but overall, no, it shouldn't drop it a full letter grade.

haha interesting, but with Halo (if that's what you are referring to) it didn't happen like that. Halo 2 just added online and got a 9.4, Halo 3 had the same online but added a level editor and got 9.5. You also forgot to mention that it wasn't JUST old gameplay, it was improved and balanced (for Halo and SSB).

Dr_Corndog

To support your claim, I'll add this:

By that logic, Final Fantasy VII shouldn't have been AAA because it didn't use orchestrated music, one of the big points of the PS1. And Super Mario World shouldn't have been one of the GGOATS because of its lack of Mode 7. Just because you have soemthing doesn't mean you must use it. But hey, maybe you're the guy who wants to go all around the bases on the first date (just because you feel obliged to use it just for having it).

Yeah, I want to try the Wii-mote + Nunchuk combo, but I have a feeling I'll go back the Gamecube controller simply for the C-stick.
