Yahtzee does what he does best: lambast popular games, product-placement place, and whine about no MOTHER 3 outside of Japan.

He's my hero.

Damnation! Zero Punctuation review of Brawl! Why is Escapist Magazine blocked on my college's computers?! Thank God my last exam is tomorrow...

I don't have my Wii Message Board posted on the wiki, but I'll find it out as soon as I get home. I would really like to see that replay, as I'm unsure if I'm even taking the correct route.

Mother. 3. will. NEVER. COME. OUT. TO. NORTH. AMERICA.

If you learn to accept it, then you will be much happier.

I don't even get why you have such a hard on for that game.

Samus stops sucking once you get her Final Smash. She's more prone to damage, but she's much more easier to control and her attacks actually do something instead of making your opponent fly 2 inches off the ground (even after 100% damage).

I've yet to try the WiFi myself...for no other reason than because my TV doesn't have that kind of connection.

As far as characters go, I've mastered Kirby, Ganondorf (who is much, <i>much</i> more slower than he was in Melee), Fox, Falco, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Bowser, R.O.B., Donkey Kong, and am in the process of trying to learn Wolf and Sonic. If anyone knows a way to have Sonic cause more damage that doesn't involve his special moves (which I cannot figure out), I'd really appreciate it if you shared that information with me.

It's the principle behind it all, Big Mac. It basically is, as R_T's avatar shows, a big "fuck you" from Japan. There is a fairly huge coalition of EarthBound fans that have sent petition after petition, organized many different events, all to demonstrate to Nintendo "western" interest in the Mother series and convince them to release Mother 3 here in America.

I don't know about you, Mac, but I frigging loved EarthBound - it was the game sparked my interest in RPGs, and Nintendo's justification for not releasing Mother 3 is rather weak, complete and total lack of Nintendo RPGs nonwithstanding.

Oh, and, fan translation of Mother 3. They've made some major progress and are apparently almost finished.

EDIT: Mirror Emperor, you do realize that it IS Wireless, your television doesn't need a special connection? If you have a wireless router, there should be no issue in connecting to Nintendo Wi-Fi.

Oh, and Sonic's aerials are great at racking up damage. His tilt attacks are fairly underwhelming, but you really don't have any alternatives. Sonic cannot knock people back until really high percentages, so you need to use all of his moves, or the Stale Move Penalty will make inflicting damage even more difficult.

Funny thing, I tried Earthbound and I couldn't get into it.

Maybe again oneday but seriously, I couldn't get into the game.

I don't. As a result, I'm left in the dark as far as WiFi goes.

I understand...I've tried his aerial moves in Boss Battles and they cause an impressive amount of damage, but beyond that, his regular Smash and the tried-and-true Up+A move, I don't know how to control his special moves or anything of that nature. So I should probably give up on Sonic and move on.

Oh, but it will.

In the form of a fan-translation, but it will.


See, that's why nobody likes you.

ooh ow, I have been insulted on the internet. HOW WILL I SURVIVE.

You will endure, but you'll be a shell of your former self.
I'm assuming by "special moves", you mean his B moves, correct? Remember that you can charge up all of them by holding down B. His neutral B is a homing attack, his forward B causes him to hop and thus combo into aerials easier, and his down B is a ground-based spin. The spring that Sonic's recovery move creates can be used as a projectile: you can create a sort of "combo" with up and B when above your opponent, followed by his down aerial.
