if you didn't like melee for the cube, i don't see why you would like this one. it's pretty much the same thing taken to the next level. all fighting games are button mashers when you first play them. once you learn the controls, smash is the least button mashing fighting game i've ever played.presto7640

^ you beat me to it... Sometimes you have to think before you move, but in my experience Smash Bros is a button masher.

get the HD3850 instead iof the 8600gts its alot more powerfulMiles0T0Prower

Yup, and I also suggest getting another gigabyte of RAM. It should only cost about $50 more for the extra RAM

It's pretty much the same thing as upgrading from windows 98 to Windows XP. There were many people saying Windows XP is a resource hog and that it doesn't run old applications well or not at all. Many people were also saying that XP was not worth upgrading for the money. BUT GUESS WHAT? Windows XP got patched, and it runs old applications fine now... Windows XP was a bit more stable than windows 98. The user interface looked nicer and was easier to use. Sounds just like windows Vista being more stable than XP (unless you're running older apps), it looks nicer and is a bit easier to use. It will get patched like XP, and it will be able to run older applications eventually.

I'm running Windows Vista and I don't plan to downgrade.

Specs?

Update the graphics card drivers and try reinstalling directx.
