[MrCheez]

[Fireblend]

does gaf really crash because of these smash updates? or is it just something by chance?

I was thinking the same thing, takes me ages to reload this page properly...

Gaf turns into Xbox live at midnight

 

[CoolS]

I predict no update for today

 

[Jiggy]

Video of a test battle between Tokyo and Kyoto--text makes it seem like they're basically attempting to demonstrate how strongly lag will or won't affect the match.

 

[Chumly]

MEGATON UPDATE INCOMING!!!

Gaf on lifesupport!

 

[Pureauthor]

You people keep killing the site everyday at 3 o'clock. What about the rest of us who just want to surf our internets in peace, huh? HUH?

 

[Azuran]

Come on Captain Falcon!

 

[ratcliffja]

Ugh, I'm losing sleep over this. If it's not up in the next 5 minutes, I'm going to bed.

 

[Jiggy]

While it’s true you can battle over Wi-Fi, your connection environment and the distance between players can cause great changes in speed. That fact probably makes you a little uneasy.

So, we conducted an online battle between Nintendo’s headquarters in Kyoto and the development team in Tokyo. The distance between Kyoto and Tokyo...is nearly the same distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Here’s the video of that match.

There.

 

[Iam Canadian]

It's a gameplay video of an online match!

 

[trinest]

Online test video. Interesting...

 

[Oblivion]

mega ultraton coming

"Oh, by the way, forgot to mention Smash Bros. Brawl is cancelled for America."

"My bad?"

 

[Ydahs]

I predict Mega-

This thread kills GAF for me..

At this time, every weekday..

 

[rollingstart]

so, where can I watch this video then?

nevermind.

 

[Iam Canadian]

I wonder how many GAFers that don't visit this thread know that it's us that kills this forum every midnight.

I like how that at one point, it almost looks like the platform is doing the Death Star's trench run.

It's 3AM for you? Where do you live, Newfoundland?

 

[Azuran]

Test video?

Boriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

 

[ProfessorLobo]

The video link is ironically dead.

 

[Crushed]

Tokyo vs. Kyoto?

Is this like Japan's version of East Coast vs. West Coast?

 

[KevinCow]

And holy shit, why is GAF going so slow?

 

[Jiggy]

I like how the Mario player knows how to horizontally recover with Mario's cape, and uses it both for a normal recovery and to very nearly (!) successfully dodge Samus' final smash. >_>

 

[Firestorm]

wtf Japanese got a different video!

 

[Lobster]

Mario won? In that video it looks like his ass was getting kicked.

 

[MrCheez]

Oh snapz guys, the japanese page has a different video.

Also, of course Snake has to give us a perfect view of his ass during the victory screen :lol

 

[Azuran]

500 - Internal Server Error

Seriously, I'm gettting tired of reading that message.

 

[Mockingbird]

Pointless update.

 

[watkinzez]

Nice online speeds!*

*On Nintendo's T3 connection.

 

[Chumly]

STOP F5ing people!

 

[Pureauthor]

It's 3AM for you? Where do you live, Newfoundland?

3PM. I'm not the kind of moron who stays up late for an internet up... date...

*realizes which thread he's in*

Oh, lookatthetimegottagobye!

 

[Azuran]

Ike Kirby and Snake!

Damn, the Japanese video is way better than ours.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Love Kirby's victory jingle (on the japanese site).

Adorable.

 

[polg]

That stage is pretty awesome...

 

[scottnak]

Awesome speed for an internet battle. Doesn't look like much difference at all. Definitely glad to see.

Tokyo <--> Kyoto = 513.6 km
LA <--> LV = 368 km!
LA <--> SF = 560 km...

Guess I can smash with the folks back home quite easily then!

 

[superbank]

Youtube the videos please.

^ thanks.

 

[rollingstart]

youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR80QqW3yKg

by the time this is actually posted, im sure someone else has it on youtube..or the game will actually be out.

 

[CoolS]

I watched it once now, but that seemed to be pretty lag free, or am I wrong?

 

[JonathanEx]

Basically, an excuse for another video? I'm cool with that.

 

[Iam Canadian]

I like how the Mario player knows how to horizontally recover with Mario's cape, and uses it both for a normal recovery and to very nearly (!) successfully dodge Samus' final smash. >_>

He came so close to making it, too. If the giant laser ray of death didn't flare up at the end, Mario would have cleanly dodged it.

 

[KolosLazar16]

The announcer is so bad compared to SSBM. =(

 

[Oblivion]

That was pointless. We can't tell shit really.

go kirby!

 

[MrCheez]

Yeah not digging the announcer at all, but we actually already heard a bunch of him from the old Fall Conference videos

 

[Osaka]

Bah, the Snake player wasted time on using that pistol item! Would've wanted to see more of his moves.

 

[VOOK]

Got a Youtube Video for the US one, JP one coming in second.

[Jiggy]

-Game modes hit 34 updates and are still by far the most frequent kind.

-Our five least recent types are now how to play, assist trophy, item, special moves, and--yes--character profile.

-Only 4 days of updates remaining before the Japanese release date. For those of you not following the spoiler thread (in which there actually haven't been many spoilers at all yet), unlockables of all sorts (character, stage, whatever) may start to be revealed after that day, considering the precedent of the Japan-only Melee site. Be forewarned.



Well, that was quick. >_>

 

[Ike]

Any youtube version of the Japanese video?

 

[Iam Canadian]

I'll bet Sakurai was playing as Kirby in the Japanese video.

Actually, it seems odd to me that the Japanese site would get a completely different video. Maybe there's an explanation in the Japanese text?
