I didn't think numbers went that high.

You should see Geometry Wars Galaxies high scores.

I should also mention that while I prefer timed, I also like 5 minute matches.  2 minutes is far too little time as Fifth articulated.

I thought this was using the balance board. I guess they changed their minds.

Wario Land, not WarioWare.

2. It's [probably] impossible to enter sudden death.  I say probably because, theoretically, two players could kill each other, both on their last lives, at the exact same time.

I've had this happen, and it just awarded the victory to one player.

In regard to LD's post, I would say that Brawl exacerbated this problem by awarding kills to the player who happened to touch the person last.

Also, what about stamina mode?  I like that better than stock.

Not at the Dinner Table / Re: War

Well, so what if it was? We'd still be under British rule if we didn't fight.

That's not a certainty.  Most British colonies are no longer controlled by the British.  In any case, things might be very different with a different balance of power or without the ideas that were fostered through the writings that came out of the war.

And the Civil War was primarily about states' rights.  Slavery only became forefront after the Emancipation Proclamation.  i.e. it was a political move more than an ethical one.

I almost always will play stock--it's a more fair evaluation of how good a player is.

I disagree.  Some characters are better suited for timed and others stock.  e.g. some characters are weaker but faster, meaning they can easily die during a stock battle, but win in a timed battle.

Obviously, Sakurai realized the superior mode, making Time the default setting.
