Does Yahtzee really have to tell us all about his hatred for the small majority of viewers who actually nag him to review games? We get it. You hate them. Most of us don't like them either. Just ignore them. Review what you want with a light attitude and you'll keep the gigantic audience you've now formed.
We don't want to hear about or be reminded at the tons of fanboys out there. We want to hear "an intelligent review with a hint of schitzophrenia."
Edit: At least I do anyway...

I suggest going to www.fullyramblomatic.com to see more about his hatred towards his fans and his inbox... it's not as "small" of a problem as you think.Phantomstrider8 said:
Yahtzee's pretty much right.
I mean, do you actually play Smash Bros for the coherent, logical gameplay? I think not. There's just something fantastically fun about walloping the shit out of... well, everything, while you have only a vague idea of the basic controls and moves. If a person doesn't enjoy that you can hardly argue that if only they'd loosen up the almost-random button mashing would become amusing.

I agree pretty much entirely with this review, SSMB is an overhyped fanboy pile of wank. My opinion is slightly skewed due to my hatred for Nintendo and all it stands for, aka bringing out the same fucking games every fucking year with marginally improved graphics and some gimmicky new addition which no-one honestly gives a shit about.
Not all fighting games are complete button mashers however, Soul Calibur does have a much more significant degree of strategy in it then most, although it is still possible to win by mashing your face into the pad it's much more difficult then most.
Oh and to the nintendo fanbois: Cry Moar.

Pretty much what I feel. I'm not saying that button-mashers are a great type of game, just that they are much easier to pick up then the sequence games. A new player in it just for the fun in the first type will probably HAVE fun right away, and might actually stand a chance (though, I would like to point out, even button-mashing in SSBM I lost consistanty against my cousin, who is a veteran of the series), whilst in a sequence game he stands virtually no chance against even somebody who's experience is a few hours worth.beekay said:
Meh, my two cents.
Yahtzee, if you ever deign to read this; understand that people deliberately pause the video to read the small text.
Putting in something like "Send me your knickers girls" will be acted upon. Many times. Many Scary times.

No, this is just plain... strange. Halo 3 has the entertainment record for the most copies sold on the first day.Evilducks said:
On the other hand, Brawl is most likely gonna get the record for the game with the highest attach rate to a console (excluding bundles of course). Also, most Halo fanboys are banned (not to say fans aren't welcome, they just have to be sensible, like everyone else).

Edit: Root, I don't think Yahtzee, or anyone for that matter, wants the panties of rabid internet fangirls...
I just think its a testament to the advertising campaign of nintendo that there are this many conflicting opinions and discussions over one of their games, its actually being fueled by hate, the only other things i know that do that are the multiple trolling alts i make on numerous gaming forums (none on escapist, surprisingly enough, the mods are quicker on the daw than Eastwood himself) and violence in games.
and thats my thoughts... also it ups this truly titanic post count

No, I think that Nintendious Fanboious is far more protective and rabid compared to its Sony breed, Sonius Fanboious. Though, the the Sonius might be in larger numbers, or be louder. Much louder.Indigo_Dingo said:

Edit: Sorry 'bout the double post.
There aren't this many posts on the other nintendo games reviewed. I think it's more that this review wasn't that great; Wasn't that funny, and wasn't that review-ish. Not to mention the slew of anti-nintendo fanboys... there goes the bandwagon.
I hate to say it, but Yahtzee kind of sounded like a fanboy himself...
edit: no he didn't

Well I gotta say, I agree with his point about unlockable content, with the new TF2 update featuring nigh-impossible achievements the average casual player is never going to be able to get.
Also, everyone head to the smash bros brawl wiki page and fight for a mention of this review to stay on the page

Like every other review Yahtzee has got it right on the head. I do love beat'em up's and i love the skill based one's like the old street fighter alpha series or VF were you need skill to win and not just another button masha like soul cablier , dead or alive , or SSBB .
Thank you Yahtzee for once again driving nail A into Slot A were it should be and not into Slot B cause a fanboy told you to do it XD

This was pretty much an average ZP imo. There've been worse, there've been better.
Comments after reading this gigantic clusterfuck of a thread..
A)People bashing Nintendo for "milking the same franchises" with Brawl. It's the third game in the series. That practically means it's a new and interesting franchise. GTA, including spinoffs, sits at what now? Halo is at four counting Halo Wars? It's interesting how it's acceptable when someone else does it, but it's bash-worthy when it's a Nintendo franchise. Also, as has been said, without milking we would've never gotten Super Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time.
B) Jigglypuff is an awesome character. Yes, really. People who make tier lists are odd people. I play Jigglypuff and Peach and I kick the snot out of my "that guy" friends who go by tier lists and limit themselves exclusively to one "top-tier" character. I also play random quite often and I can still beat my "I play only Toon Tink and perhaps Meta Knight" friend about 50% of the time.
C) Peach's Final Smash is an instakill to anyone who are outside of the stage when you perform it and it's a guaranteed kill on anyone who has a high % when you perform it since you can just walk up to'em and forward smash them to oblivion.
