Theory as to why SSBB was boring after SSE

I actually bought Melee including save data, so I had everyone unlocked from the get go. I like it best that way.

Unlockable modes/levels alright. But I don't want to play for days just so I can pick Tlink, or hell, Sonic even. So I loooved SSE, because it gave me all the characters in an hour or two.

Ofcourse they should have added more unlockable levels/stages, but thats kinda off topic.

... spam them back...?

And how is that fun?

If you are looking for the subjective aura of "fun", why are you playing online against a faceless opponent who knows nothing of your unwritten rules?

I am mystified by anyone who seeks "fun" by playing online. Playing for fun only really works when you have friends over to laugh with about everything that happens. Online, your only real choice is to just win. :-/

I don't know about you, but I actually have fun playing smash alone, and CPU tend to bore me sometimes. When people actually play decent(no taunt spamming, or spamming in general) I actually have fun. If not, I would have stopped playing smash ages ago.

That's fine... but then why do you become upset at the idea of someone somewhere out there playing a way you disapprove of? He never agreed to play to your liking. I'm just sayin'...

I don't get upset really, when I play online and I do not have fun because someone is spamming the crap out of me, I simply leave the match.

So you go shopping? You just cherry pick the positive experiences and quit when things don't go your way? Has it possibly occurred to you that people don't like it when players quit? I know that always bothered me in Mario Strikers Charged.

Sorry, but I game for fun, If my opponent is gonna spam, I don't really care for the match anymore. Besides, I'll be getting replaced by a CPU anyway.

I always liked playing against the CPU even after beating SSE.

As every single character from brawl makes an appearance on SSE... It would be nescessary to unlock them... considering that they were already spoiled to the player...

And that's correct... after unlocking all charatcers... there's not anything much interesting to do, other than playing multiplayer battles... or training your skills in pratice mode...

Did you guys buy Brawl specifically for SSE?

I bought the game because I've been playing Smash ever since the the first Super Smash Bros game.

i didn't like SSE at all, save for the cutscenes. It was fun to see all the characters interacting with each other, but SSE was just a incomplete game with in a incomplete game. It wasn't that fun to began with, I want a fighting game, not a adventure, if they wanted to make a adventure game why not just make it a different game? I'm sure others would by it, but it was just to half *** in everything it did. It was fun after the first couple of levels, but it got repetitive fast, and the maze was over kill. They really should have just focused on making the fighting better.

If the player is gonna spam 24/7, he should expect them to quit.
And so what if Quin does cherry pick?
If Iremember correctly he can do anything he wants with HIS property.

Because it's extremely selfish, obnoxious, and hypocritical. It wastes people's time.

I'm glad as more modern games come out, they implement penalties against players who quit out all the time.

Guys, Buzz is super serial about fighting games. You're arguing with someone of a totally different midset from you.

It's a video game.

That said, I think there's a big problem with online play: it develops its own "unwritten rules" and these are only compatible with a niche who is willing to play by those rules. As a result all most players get out of online play is distance play with friends. (And people wonder why Nintendo has friend codes?)

I'm glad as more modern games come out, they implement penalties against players who quit out all the time.

I have a question: if these same penalties were implemented against tactics that "break" the game, would you complain?

I will consider answering that once you tell me what tactics "break" the game online.
