Apparently, future Smash games don't have any equivalent modes to Subspace Emissary and that bums me out :(

Haven't started the game and I already got chills with this game's intro!

The balancing may be garbage, the game too slow and some mechanics just straight up godforsaken (yes, it's tripping...).

But what this game has.. is soul.

in nomine populi; accipio quod Brawl malum ludum fighting est. sed, in virtute deorum, nullus ludus prope accedit cum aestheticum magisterium huius.

Never really got into brawl that much I never really got the hang of the controls. Subspace emmisary though was so freaking cool and I loved every minute of it. They added some cool characters like sonic and snake which shocked people at the time. (wait until they saw ultimates roster). Another thing that I really enjoyed were the mini demos you could play of old Nintendo games.

Day 14: Special shout out today to glorious bastard, Ridley. Are any of your boss fights easy? Nope! Do I enjoy them? Oh absolutely.

Also, as great as your fights in Smash Bros are, you almost got mullered by a Pikachu in Brawl (look up the cutscene), you silly goose.

I spent many an hour slugging it out with friends and family. Times have moved on but the fundamentals remain the same, in that I'm still lacking but I know enough to beat everyone I can play with IRL, and that's what counts.

Despite mediocre online play, I played the heck out of this sequel to Melee. Having Sonic and Snake in this game was pretty amazing for the time.

Been playing the great mod for Brawl, Project M. With that, my rating probably goes up to 5 stars!
