This is the most bloodiest review from yahtzee we have seen so far, and this coming from a game with no bleeding...

I admit I was one of those people who was waiting for this review, and I have to say that there wasn't much for this other than the long time it takes to unlock Sonic... I think yahtzee wasn't able to come up with as much bad things for SSBB but then again, it is hard to downplay a game and talk about the bad things in a game such as SSBB, though halo 3 was an easy target...

Overall, still enjoyed the review, although this one was lacking a bit compared to others...

I completely enjoyed this one....mainly because it wasn't as much as a review as a shot at all the fanboys that were begging him to talk about it.

His friend's name is Guy? Is he trying to become a perfect stereotype?

OMFG, this was also one of the insanely funniest.

Har har, I've been to GameTraders Robina

GAAAAAAMETRADERRRRS ROBINAAAAAAA

lol no, but while I disagree with him that the game isn't awesome, he does point out the flaws quite well:

1. With SSBB being played almost constantly once we got it, it still took a few days to unlock all the freaking characters.

2. The huge levels are TOO FUCKING BIG, and zooming out to the point where you can't see shit (and I was playing this on a fucking hugeass TV) is just annoying as fuck. I complained about it in Melee, and was disappointed they kept it up here, though they did balance it out with a lot of fun, small levels too. The small levels keep the action fast and fun.

However, I don't understand why he complains about having "only one evening" to review the game. I don't know that that's really enough to fully try out all the different modes, and it certainly isn't enough to try out and get a feel for all the characters.

Overall, a rather mediocre review coming from him, because he seemed to be more focused on trying to piss off fanboys than reviewing to the best of his abilities.

Still, funny.

"However, I don't understand why he complains about having "only one evening" to review the game. I don't know that that's really enough to fully try out all the different modes, and it certainly isn't enough to try out and get a feel for all the characters."

He wasn't complaining about having one evening to review it, he obviously spent more time than that with it (he played the single player at least a fair bit), what he was complaining about was that if you just got said A grade amazement game, and if you take it to a party of geeky like selfs, and if you all expect to actually be able to play the most popular characters, well tough titties... you can't... you have to spend an age on your own FIRST and THEN you can play in a group.

It is indeed quite, quite ridiculous.

Now that we have a *downunder channel I think Yahtzee's reviews should also get that assignment, because he does live in Australia. I consider it one of Australia's finest exports. But if you disagree, bleedingsnowman, I won't be offended if you remove it.

There seemed to be quite a bit of raging against the genre, which is often when he's at his most entertaining. This particular one didn't really push the envelope much. Enjoyable as always, but not one of his best.

I would have to agree that his fury towards the fan-boys was a bit excessive. A little of that stuff goes a long way.

A resounding "eeeh". Priceless.

Oh baby right when the music started i got pumped up for this one

Cunt-gargling.

Vagina-swilling.

Extrrrrrravaganza.

Honestly I don't care anymore if his reviews are valid or not, these things are hilarious.

yay! nintendo-fanboy slamming, an upvote for sure!

I think the review was pretty informative, heres what I got from it.

- the controls suck..I think he said this 3 or 4 times. You would do no better by rolling your face across the pad.
- alot of content needs to be unlocked in long single player sessions, namely 2 of the characters that were being overly hyped for the game.
- single player was a bunch of repetitious side scrolling levels.

This being a fighter game, he pretty much touched on everything you should in a fighting game review. Fighting game reviews generaly don't cover the characters, you may or may not know them beforehand, eitherway I cant recall a street fighter, mk, or MSH review where we were introduced to "Ken", or "Sonya". Fighting games generally have no story, and character stories are never spoiled because it is escentialy the characters ending.

So what do we review in a fightig game? Controles...Check. Graphics...screen scales your character small, flash special effects..check! Content..only that you won't be seeing half of it for some time....check.

If anything was missing, it would probably be replayability. However yhatzee's reviews generaly center on all thats bad.. and throws in anything he found surprisingly good. So for this review he gets an A+.

I love yahtzee... spot on review... Beat em' ups suck, because it's exactly like he says: just random button pushing is as good as knowing every single combo.

and I'm we all really do know "that guy" and we all hate him.

Plus, let's not forget "The Beano "reference... yay.

Wow that's quite surreal. I was in Game Traders Robina, just last week. It's in my local shopping centre!!

"fuck solid snake, they should let you unlock bill murray"
huahuaahahahah

one of his best lines ever, in my humble.

He called us dipshits!!! he called US dipshits!!! He's talking to us! I'm never washing these ears again...

...so no change in my S.O.P.

I have once, briefly, played some other smash bros melee something, and found playing Peach, beating people randomly senseless with her pink umbrella to be so unquenchably and hilariously satisfying that i was possibly going mad with glee and might have needed sectioning. i look forward to doing this again one day.

Speaking as a gamer woman, I could have done without the "vagina swilling" as an insult. I love Yahtzee. It's annoying when your heros suddenly start bagging on you for no good reason. This annoyance did not keep me from upvoting or from loving yahtzee, but it did make me grumble unhappily.

Well, that is a strange position. I'm a gamer man and I have no problem if he wishes to use "ball gagging" or "scrotum sucking" as an insult. Just because a particular set of genitals are used in an insult doesn't mean he is attacking those who possess those genitals.

I think he's also used the phrase "choke on a bucket of cocks". It has more to do with the old time English and puritanical beliefs that sex organs in general are things to be ashamed of and worthy of derision. It's unfortunate but pretty ingrained into western culture.

While I agree that it takes entirely too long to unlock the really hyped characters (Sonic, in particular), I don't get why he keeps referring to the Subspace Emissary as single-player. It doesn't have to be, you can have a 2nd player join in. Actually, this would have fit in nicely to his review, as a 2nd player actually makes it FAR HARDER for some testicle gnashing reason.

I think it's because you have to fight over who gets to play the "good" character more often than not. Also the fact that you share lives with the other bastard doesn't help things. This isn't a problem if whoever you play with isn't a complete "fucktard", which is who/what I was stuck with! "Fucktard" or not though, the SSE is a bijillion times better with a friend. And fuck that maze near the end.

Beat Classic with 10 different characters for Sonic. That's not too bad. Being the nostalgic oldschool-Sonic fan that I am, and eager to see how he handles once again on a gloriously 2D plane, he was one of the first few to be unlocked. There are usually multiple ways of unlocking a character and beating Classic with different characters you're bound to unlock something at random. I can see how Yahtzee got the impression that button mashing is all you need to do, as most do when first introduced to Smash and it certainly can be played with others of similar skill in that way, but the game's fighting system is incredibly deep and leaves much room for strategy considering it's an old-school type fighter restricted to a 2D plane.

In my case it was more that the screen is zoomed in pretty closely, and one or the other of us kept getting hit just a *bit* too far in the opposite direction of the other player.

Didn't know about that - I always play as much of the game as I can without referring to faqs, and got bored of playing through in classic mode after about 5 or 6 characters. Figure the next task is playing through that mode with everyone, then maybe I'll check the faqs to see what else I should focus on.

I loves me some Smash Bros, and totally agree that there's a lot more depth to the fighting than is immediately obvious. Hell, the shield and dodge alone make it massively more complex once you get used to employing them.
