The Joys of Brawl

Now, recently, you have noticed that I have been making jokes about gaming companies and their quirks. Well, I've come to you now with a few thoughts about Super Smash Bros. Brawl and some of the quirks that make it funny as well. Don't believe me? Just think of, or if you haven't experienced, try, the things below!

1. For some reason, it's uncannily funny to take screenshots of Lucas getting killed by something. Some of my favorite examples for you to try: Have Ness use a grab (but don't attack or throw) on him. Make sure that you can get both of their faces in the screenshot. Similarly, use the upwards throw with R.O.B., and pause at the right moment, and you can get a funny picture of Lucas being held upside down by a leg and doing what looks like screaming for his life. Also, a correctly-timed side throw with Charizard made it look like he was about to get eaten. My personal favorite, however, is to have Lucas on the ground after beating him down. Have Ganondorf stand over him and use his down taunt. Priceless...

2. Ever notice how missiles, fully charged laser beams, bombs, arrows, being hacked by a sword, and being crushed or lit on fire don't do half as much as throwing a bumper at your foes?

3. Captain Falcon "hugs" his opponent with his Up + Special attack, and lets out a creepy "YES!" after extending his hips and flinging them away. Anyony else detect something ambiguous and creepy?

4. There's a map based on Animal Crossing. Enough said.

5. Snake, no matter how many times he tries, should not be able to snap the neck of a pink fluffball. Yet, somehow, he manages to do this to both Jigglypuff AND Kirby, not to mention Meta Knight who's wearing armor.

6. A little kid with a stick is capable of annihilating Samus, who is wearing a metal combat suit designed to withstand the attacks of a fully grown Metroid.

7. Solid Snake just...doesn't fit in with the rest of the Brawl characters...

8. Ironically, Squirtle has better defensive capabilities than Charizard OR Ivysaur with his side special attack. Also, the pokemon "weakness" system doesn't seem to hold true in any case whatsoever.

9. Jigglypuff is the best character to beat Cruel Brawl accomplishments with, if you know what to do. And no, I don't mean using Rest. Be creative. If you want me to tell you why and can't figure it out yourself, leave me a message.

10. Wario is almost as poorly animated as Game & Watch.

11. The final smashes of some characters are decidedly better than others.

12. Ness' baseball bat just hurts a bit. Yet, anyone holding a different type of bat is capable of killing anyone else in one swing.

13. Do a special brawl. Try playing as Sonic during a fast forward, mini, bunny hooded brawl. Add invisibility for more fun. Try using his spin dash and jumping. You'll almost go off the stage.

14. Characters in brawl are decidedly suicidal. There are multiple characters who have a way of killing themselves along with an enemy, and many characters who have attacks that, when used incorrectly, are fatal to the user as well.

15. Olimar and Samus can eat food even while wearing a helmet.

16. Sudden death is a fancy term for "The game will kill whoever it hates most by spawning a bomb-omb on their face".

17. Sonic's most potent weapon is his terrible voiceovers. Try spamming his side taunt. Your opponents will break their T.V.s because of the annoying sounds, and you'll gain the advantage.
