Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I remember when Brawl was DA SHIT my friend got a wii. So for a night he invited over me, our friend called Tony and a guy he knew called Louie. I got the impression that this Louie kid was rich up the ass (Hardly surprising as his mum is Lisa Wilkinson and his dad is Peter Fitzsimmons *No joke*) and brought along 4 of his 8 wii controllers and a copy of brawl. So once all had arrived at his flat it was a night filled with pizza, brawl, brazillian cake and the matrix two not to mention the afternoon beforehand, which was kind of boring and filled with me making smartass comments about my sexy new Mii thing and the necessity of a butt-wiggle before swinging in Wii-Golf. We spent 8 hours (I'm fairly sure it was that long)that night playing it (Brawl that is)and considering the massive headache the following morning I had attained it's safe to say you need four people all the time to make this game enjoyable. You could just play the campaign again and agian if you're a loser or you could wait ages to get in a single match with online play. Kickass review man. Oh and btw we actually unlocked like half of the characters AND maps a few hours in (But admittedly that was because my friend had a strategy guide and we had extreme amounts of patience to play on shadow moses umpty badillion times just to get Snake!)
i have a wii and this game and i like it its not great but its not horrible mostly entertaining like nintendo games are supposed to be and if people are acually getting upset by what yatzzee says about games they should go home because we all got opnions and people need to learn that soon.
Dear lord 1311 posts? Well done Yahtzee quite alot of complains or props.
Now on topic as a person who actually enjoys playing brawl I would like to say that playing it is fun in addition to other activities. Playing it as a followup to a movie is quite entertaining once you have 4 people who are all having a good time and the helarious randomness brawl can create (like L4D) is something really irreplaceable which makes the night awesome.
Just saying though it isnt your type of game and that should be respected, it is however a game I enjoy so I will continue to enjoy it and I really hope you continue to make funny reviews.

HAAA You think unlocking sonic is a pain, in ssb melee you have to play one match for 20 hours or something to unlock mewtwo, you can also just play 900 matches (I don't remember exactly). I don't understand why nintendo would make unlockable characters so difficult to unlock, wtf is their problem!
Extremely funny, he is absoultely correct that nintendo has been spewing out the same amount of crap they have been for years
i honestly don't understand fan boys i love some games (god of war-gears of war-fable-overlord-oblivion-bioshock-fallout 3) but I'm not personally insulted by people that make fun of these games zeropunctuation doesn't like some games that i like and insulted most of them but i don't care i still find his videos amusing I'm not very loyal i rent most games and if i like it ill buy it I'm not going to keep coming back to a company that continually disappoints me and buy there games to please them that's why i haven't played sonic in over 10 years i don't care if i have the most despised game in the world if its fun i don't care if everyone else hates it but I'm not going to run to its defence either crying foul you must love what i love or shutup
Even though I actually enjoy this game alot (mainly because we play it at college when there's nothing else to do) I gotta say that this video and the one that it spawned (mailbox meltdown) were classic.
I seriously enjoy watching Yahtzee ripping some of my faveourite games apart. One of my fave games ever was The World Ends With You but I still found his review entertaining. Nearly as entertaining as watching him verbally ***** slap all the fan-boys who wrote and complained about this review.
Great work, keep it up.

I have a pal who is a nintendo fanboy, and whenever I say another game like half life,left 4 dead, portal, quake, or silent hill is good, he says "NO, MARIO IS WAY BETTER" I then tell him about Yhatzee, and how much he has to say about mario, and he can't think of any comeback.
Thank you for giving me something I can shove up his butt so far he chokes on it.

Good review 
I didn't have quite the same problem as you had, because i have a friend who is a "That guy" so i never need to look far for a challenge. I agree with your points, but i don't think it was as bad as you made it out to be, I just think hyped WAY out of proportion and there was no way that it could live up to that.

Indeed! I feel the same way, though the New Super Mario Bros. Wii is highly amusing when you play it with multiple people.OnionMaster said:
I guess that means Yahtzee wouldn't find it all that great (then again, did he already do a review on that game? I honestly can't remember).
Awesome review (as always) and it made me laugh my ass off, but I completely disagree.
I've played that game a lot, I'm pretty good at it and blah blah blah..
My point is that this is actually not a button-masher, you really need some strategy to win over most people with most characters. Some of the characters in the game are complete novice-picks for button-mashers, but some of them (including my personal pick Lucario, who's at his best at that point of the match when every single attack that hits him sends him flying 200yrds either up, left or right) require a lot of skill to manage in a decent way.
But that's my opinion and my point of view.
