I'm still good with Pikachu, Mr.Game&Watch, Mario, Luigi, and Link.  I also find myself to be pretty decent with Diddy

Got Sonic and Toon Link today.  The only thing I don't like about Toon Link is that his downward thrust is too fast.  I'm just so used to the way Link's was in 64 and Melee.

They took out the Earthbound demo. NOA officially hates Mother fans. But the rest of the game's pretty good. I'll describe it in more detail next week when I buy it.

I've earned all the characters. I'm just kinda fooling around, taking odd pictures of Wario for no reason. :P

Wolf is actually won of my favorite characters to play as, even though I've only had him for a day.

NOA officially hates Mother fans.
That or they have some strange idea that no one in the U.S. likes the series. It's just been subject to unfortunate circumstances (Mother so late in the NES's life, EarthBound's style in the midst of Final Fantasy-like RPGs) and they don't want to give it chances anymore, I guess. I still pray Itoi will localize Mother 3 as a result of that box of wonder he received... if not, that fan translation should be done before we know it.

Some voice samples from the US version:

Fox, Meta Knight, Pit, Ike, Falco

Pokemon Trainer (plus a little of Squirtle and Charizard), Marth, Jigglypuff, Sonic, Snake
http://youtube.com/watch?v=kQOEHk9mhbI

Lucario, Wolf, Snake
http://youtube.com/watch?v=arRHChWh5tk

Everyone (different set of vocals, some repeated over and over, some mostly skipped over)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OZFwoRxNFxw

I sadly agree that many of the US voices are terrible. Wolf in particular because it sounds like he has a Southern accent (or cowboy). But a couple aren't too bad. Meta Knight sounds like Darth Vader, and Pokemon Trainer... well, it sounds awesome, but it's extremely screechy. At least Wolf says "Play time's over, Star Fox", but it's not in his British accent.
But be happy that they kept Marth's Japanese voice.

One of the comments someone made:
"I'm playing this game in Japanese. That's it."

They took out the Earthbound demo. NOA officially hates Mother fans.
Shoot. Curse you, NOA.

...mm, actually, the voices are more bearable with the taunts to go with them. Wolf's awesome again. The same howl's there, the Southern accent doesn't sound as out of place. His roar sounds strange though.

That was a joke.

I don't think that they are going to ever believe you Chup.

Ups: RED. Red is a total up! Triple Finish is the BEST FINAL SMASH EVAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

Downs: That friggin' Subspace Emissiary believes in cruelty to Pokemon!!! I'll get them for what they were doing to Pikachu!!!

(As you can probably tell, I call Pokemon Trainer "Red". "Pokemon Trainer" over and over just gets annoying.)

*ahem* When I unlocked Wolf (Took at least 4 tries, the jerk was standing next to where the Dragoon parts materialized half the time), I listened to the various things he said, and he did not sound like he had a southern accent. At all. Maybe because I've never been to the southern United States (save Virginia), but his accent sounded fairly flat in my ears. He had a bit of a raspy voice, but that was pretty much it.

I chuckled a bit over what he said when he summoned his landmaster, though.

Up's are that the Vs mode match number required to get some chars has been lowered. Down is that everyone seems slower than they were in melee. Fox really seems to have slowed down to Mario's Speed. Down is that they made some chars too hard to unlock. example Jigglypuff, You have to Finish SSE and go back to the swamp stage or something Why such a hassle for Jigglypuff?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I like Wolf's voice. Heck, I think it's one of the better voices in Brawl.

Ups: Everything is great (except the downs).

Downs:
-Crappy intro
-Much slower then Melee (in many ways).
-They RUINED Fox.*****


I have a motto for reviewing games: "Don't look at what could be, look at what is."

^^^^Contradictory to that:
-Online play could be much better.


*****NO THEY DIDN'T. Mah bad. I hadn't played it much when I posted.*****

How is the intro crappy? I love it. The music is nice, and is much better than Melee's.

Also, I like Fox's voice in the game. A lot.

Fox is virtually the same as he was in Melee.

Virginia is Southern?
That was a joke.
