First, you LJ cut is broken. Don't worry, I've done that plenty of times. :)

Secondly, I'm surprised you didn't mention the laggy, complicated online setup for the game. Given the simplicity of the rest of the interface, I was especially disappointed here. Also, the loading times in this game are worse than Melee, and in Subspace Emissary they can rival some PS3 games.

Just some observations. :)

Well, I did notice the Subspace Emissiary load times were longer, but honestly, I just hated that mode so much anyway.

As for the online setup, I totally forgot to mention that and I definitely should have. I didn't think it was too complicated, but the lag times definitely bothered me. I didn't go on-line as often for Melee, though, so I guess that's why I forgot to write about it (I usually just play with my friends, though I have gone on-line from time to time).
Thanks for bringing these two things up. I definitely need to mention the on-line problem in my review.

So, what did you think of the game overall? Did you still find it as good as the other Super Smash Bros. games? Just curious.

I really liked the Dinner Party episode, but it kind of seemed awkward to me. Maybe because the cast was in such a small space it seemed off balanced. :)
