This game, is near perfect, if only they made a few more characters match up to Fox and Shiek....

This game is absolutly beautiful, I've owned it for about 4 years now, and can still pick it up with a few friends and have a completly new feeling battle experience, I really wish Nintendo would hook up with Hal again and get off there asses to make one before Revolution, or maybe when they make the one for Revolution, they could do the old Tony Hawk 3 trick and release it for Gamecube as well, (with a little bigger cast of Nintendo favorites of course, maybe a little Paper Mario, Paper Bowser, and Paper Luigi, Wario would be a nice addition as well as Simon Belmont from CV2 Simon's Quest :D y'know, just for starters.) This game will keep you and a few friends occupied for a loooooooooooong time, the collectibles and stages are plentiful.
The only other thing I could say is that I wish the 'learning curve' had a choice of "There's always room for bettering your game" or "Your prowess just gets better and better until it becomes hard to end a match once your friends up their abilities" or something along those lines, because you can up your reaction time and weakness spotting to near god-like proportions after a few years of playing this game, incredible.
