    The default brawl controls are awful. I remapped the gcn controls as fast as I could. A jumps, X and Y are regular attacks, B is special, and up jumping is turned off.

    Works a billion times better,

    Woot. Just finished SSE. (Well, not 100%, but I'll be heading back for that soon.)

    I'm going to guess that Sonic's placement in the game shows a rather late inclusion, I would assume.

    In the last interview with Sakurai, they said the roster was decided when development began. Sonic was not in it. They added him in mid 2007.

    And with the early showing of some of the SSE cutscenes, I'm guessing the story was pretty much laid out at that point.

    Really they should of just swapped Kirby with Sonic. Would of made SSE 100000000000000 times more epic.

    It's amazing how many people don't know about the ability to customize controls.

    It's amazing that when you start a new SSE game, you're given a screen to choose a profile, and don't have the ability to create one right there on the spot.

    You can select your profile after you already started SSE. Here's how:

    Enter SSE Mode
    Select Continue (as opposed to New, obviously)
    Select your save file
    On the map screen, press B (I'm using Nunchuck+remote, it may be different for you. Basically, you want to press the button that is in the bottom left)
    Scroll over to the left button, if you have no name it will read P1, I assume. Select it with A
    Scroll to the profile you want to use and press A.

    I'm getting a lot of artifacts on my Wii, and it looks like it's a system problem. I only noticed it when switching to the HDTV. Gonna hook it up to the BIG one we have in the living room and compare.

    If it shows up on that TV...the question is finding a decent time to ship the Wii to Nintendo...

    I don't see how it goes from awful to awesome with attack and jump swapped. The default controls are great, you just need to turn off the tap up to jump thing.

    Anybody know if there is a way to turn off certain stages when choosing Random Stage Select? I know you could do it in Melee, but did they drop that option in Brawl?

    Also, how do you get Snake's codecs to show up?

    You need to get 200 KOs in Brawls (Special Brawls do not count) so you can unlock additional rules. Then you have to beat Classic Mode on Hard.

    It makes sense to have jump centralized. I can very easily hit jump and attack or jump and special at the same time. It's the same way genesis controls were usually set up, with the jump button in the middle.

    Snake's codecs can be done with Snake on the Shadow Moses stage by mashing up and down taunts, just like changing from Samus to Zero Suit Samus mid-match.

    We all enjoyed them. Obviously interest dropped off when the game was released, but he still has a charming writing style.

    And the screenshot update was enjoyed by many.

    that does not work for me for some reason. Which is more likely: Do you have to be like inhumanly fast, do it for like a minute, or is it hella precise and i just over-mash it???

    Well, first make sure you're playing on Shadow Moses, and you're playing as Snake vs only one opponent (maybe it works with others, but I only tried it with one). You have to be extremely fast... I'm not sure it matters if you accidentally mash a side-taunt in there as well. I tend to put one finger from each hand on d-pad up and down, then alternately press as fast as I can. It worked less reliably if I just used my thumb and tried to "rub it out". It usually takes me a good 10-15 seconds of mashing before it will work.

    I really don't get people complaining that adventure mode is lengthy. Stop trying to rifle through it in a day and it won't seem so fucking long.

    I love the fact that it's a lengthy addition to the game. It's a great co-op experience, especially when you have people who don't really like fighting games but you want to play brawl

    You've got it backwards. Glowy thing(it's a crown) means you DID get everything, flag means you DIDN'T.

    I'm sure getting through Subspace can open up more, but my friend got all the events after unlocking characters and never touching SSE, so you can go either route.

    And Houk, it's the other way around. The crowns are complete levels, and flags mean you missed something.
