The game thats taking brawling to a new generation. Prepare for the time of your life.
Brawl is just like the 2 previous fighters. Theres a wide variety of nintendo characters that most you may know and some you might not, lots of items and stages and some bonus features too. There is a percentage system. The higher the percent is the stronger the impact of your attack will be and the higher chance of your opponent getting knocked off the screen. SImple right. Well it is but if you want to get into some fighting depth it does get rather difficult and fast paced. There are b and a attaacks. The A attacks are the smash attacks and the B attacks are like the special attacks. Now that your introduced to the whole series of smash brothers let me get more into the things in brawl
Brawl took everything melee had, tripled it making the fighting alot easier but more enjoyable. Brawl has way more additions to it. over 40 stages and a stage builder, 35 characters including veterans like mario and link and newcomers like king dedede and pokemon trainer and wifi mode while still keeping the things like home run contest and target test from the other smash games.
Like i said 35 characters. You may be thinking "oh thats not enough why not about 50" But get real guys 35 is alot more than melee. And even if there are some clones they all have different ways of playing. Unique characters like pokemon trainer and pikmin & olimar do bring alot of spice into the game of brawl. There are more technical characters this time and alot more ways to master them.
One of my favorite parts of brawl would have to be the wide variety of stages. All the new stages in the game are amazing. For example my favorite would have to be castle siege ( i think thats what the fire emblem level is called) and Pictochat. Also for people who liked the melee stages theres about 8 of those including my favorite Onnet. There is also a stage bulider were you can be imaginative and make your own cool stages. Put the music you would like for it a waa-laa there you go its your new stage you can brawl on. Only problem is you cant use user created stages on wifi.
Speaking of wifi theres still that to discuss. Wifi was the best addition to brawl by far. There are to main modes play with anyone or play with friends. On play with anyone you can do a team battle which is well.. a team battle lol, basic brawl which means up to 4 people duking it out and spectator where you can watch and bet on who will win in other matches. The issue with play with anyone is that you cant make your own rules and its always a 2 minute match. Then theres the cool part the play with friends. You get a friends friend code and you add it to your friend list then pick any moode it shows and have fun with your friends. Ive only done the basic brawl and home run contest on wifi so far. The basic brawl is alot better with friends because its fun to see how well your friends are shaping up in brawl from time to time. Then theres home run contest were you can try and break records on hitting mister sandbag with the home run bat.
There is a thing in brawl called vault. its were all the extra stuff is. There is a trophy and sticker room. you get trophies and stickers by playing a fun aracde like shooter mini game using the coins you got from other modes (which im gonna talk about later). there is also an area in the vault to see replays and pictures you made. Its a very cool feature
Now were going to the SSE. I actually liked it unlike other people. Its was well done and the cute scenes were amazing. It kinda gives you that old school side scrolling brawl type game feeling (sort of like that snes TMNT game and streets of rage). The mode lasts for about 8 hours and will sure to help you unlock most things in the game.
So as you can tell brawl is the best game of all time In my opinion and may be your favorite game too, I know your all going to love all the work Sakurai put into this game. Please Pick this game up if you have not already.
