Gamedaily: Top Five Reasons Super Smash Bros. Brawl May Suck

Gamedaily writes: Not everything is rosy in Smashville. Before plunking down cash for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, consider these potential pitfalls:

#5 Mashing buttons equals victory

Say what you will about the different attacks and the interactive stages, but Super Smash Bros. Brawl is nothing but a glorified button masher.

#4 Star Fox overkill

Although we don't mind three characters from the Star Fox franchise- Fox McCloud, Wolf and Falco Lombardi- we're pissed that they share the same Final Smash.

#3 Slow connection speeds
#2 No voice chat
#1 No online rankings

in my oppinion i thinks its gonna be awesome but eventually ill move back to my ps3 games

[Cyrus365]

I don't understand why they can't patch an online ranking...that would be awesome.

[Cyrus365]

#3 isn't accurate yet, it's just an assumption at this point...No one that has had the japanese copy has complainned about slow (lag) battles.

[ChickeyCantor]

#5
he can say what he wants but SMASH has more depth then just button smashing.

#4
is no reason to say it may suck.

#3
slow connections on FPS suck too, get real idiot >=|

"Without an online ranking system, we foresee us switching to more advanced video games.
"
yeah you do that....=/ XD

what are thier motives or intentions i should say?

seriously, i love supersmashbrothers(not gonna get a wii for it)but i love it. and people need to let good games be GOOD games and stop trying to downgrade it.

It sounds like that this was written by an angry Sony fan

I think the game is gonna be good, or else there wasn't a reason for nintendo to give a 10 out of 10.

[Bleucrunch]

I agree hotshot but do u know how much more fun this game would be with voice chat and some type of online ranking (dont really care for it). Nintendo really messed up with this one...This game is sweet but you kill its potential with dumb moves like this.. I would love to know their reasons for now adding those features.

I could live without voice chat.
Im usually not to big into listening to a 13yo talk smack to me as I whoop on him.

Online ranking would have been nice though.

and mario sunshine got me to buy a gamecube, which I got tired of and evetually sold, but man did I have fun.

*Sigh* those were the days.

I loved mario sunshine, there was so much creativity with each level.

and SSB was just pure Laugh out loud fun.

[Evil Zhuk]

nah it wont suck.

[mintaro]

if Super Smash Bros melee taught me anything, it is that SSB is not a button masher, and while i do feel that 3 fox characters sharing the same final smash is a bit much, it is not a valid reaosn for suckage, more like a complaint

[Doppy]

I think it should have had a larger roster of characters (50), and all the other characters should have stayed (I'll miss Mewtwo).

I think players move set should be varied. (The Fox, Wolf, Falco thing is absurd) If your going to make similar characters at least give them slightly different play styles or make the move look different.

Everyone should have had their own original Final Smash.

But even after all of that I still love SSB series, and expect this to score at least 9/10.

[Vulcan Raven]

Im sure this game will kick major a$$.

[PeterGriffinSays]

I'm sure an update/patch will eventually be released for rankings. I mean, Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection on the PS3 didnt even have an online mode, and they added that through updates.

[mr_potato]

I disagree with everything this article says for what i can see in this year SSBB seems like the most fun title to play.

Wow, that's about as investigative as the top five reasons why the writer of this article may be a closet dinosaur fossil molester.
