Screw You Guys, I'm Still Epic!
So after I played Brawl today I went around touring random people's houses with a large group of asians. I don't know if it's random or epic but hell it was fun. Meeting new people with a group is always much easier and more fun than meeting new people on your own.
In Brawl I stuck closer to the five characters that interested me (Lucario, Lucas, Pikachu, Sonic, Zero Suit Samus) to learn their trade, as we played items off for the most part.
Zero Suit Samus is still tricky to master. I tend to spam smashes a bit too much and I still can't kill outside of some Plasma wire. She still feels awesome though. Sakurai revealed that you could freely switch between ZSS and Samus, but I never got it to work.
After playing Pikachu for so long, I realize just how much he's improved from Melee. His down smash actually kills people, he can combo much more easily, and his up smash got gimped! Geck, I still need to play more since a Marth player whupped me, then proceeded to own my Lucas as a Pikachu. -_-
Speaking of Lucas, my playtime with him showed me I don't know him as well as I thought. Spamming smashes and PK freeze is nice and all, but unless I learn how to connect with his aerials I'm as good as dead.
While not victorious, I found Sonic fared SO MUCH BETTER on 1 on 1s. With three people not gangbanging him it's much easier for Sonic to focus on foes. The homing attack has potential but it also has lag if you don't connect with anyone. I find it rather difficult to intercept foes like Sakurai said. Why do you troll so much Sakurai? SAKURAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII
Lastly I played Lucario, and despite STILL losing with him, I have liked his feel much more. His smashes are slow to come out, but that's when you learn to counter and use Aerials. Aura Sphere seems weak compared to projectile spam in Melee, but I guess it's more for setting up combos and intercept rather than KO material. He hits harder with more damage on him, but I have yet to notice or see this in action.
And lastly some notes on Metroid Blue--I've got something quite nice for the Mother characters in this game, and when I said I wanted all playable characters to at least cameo, I may as well also include some other guys in the story by extension--namely Claus and likely Micaiah (and a tribute to Roy.)
Well now, quite a bit this round. I need to jot down these notes on Metroid Blue before I forget them. Farewell.
