Hmmm, found something interesting.
The Mother 3 Porky's Theme song is actually from the Mother 3i soundtrack.
It uses the portion of the From Utopia track. Listen from the 1:42 time point here: http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=017275c

You should just find some people who are a little below, a little above, or just on par with your skill level... That's where my best and favorite matches always come from, anyway (as opposed to one-sided slaughterfests where I either destroy some noob who's been playing for six months and thinks he's awesome or get destroyed by a real tourney player >_>).Stuneseht said:

Ah, yes. I remember that, now. How silly of me.Crushed said:
The sad thing is, I don't know anybody who brought the gamecube or even ssbm. Considering the sales of the wii, hopefully there will be many people that purchase this game and go online.Jiggy37 said:
I'm left with the a.i. thats within the game to serve me as some kind of trainer. The specific things I hope to master is: recovering onto the stages, and the controls.

It's pretty safe to say that aside from possibly Pokemon, this will be the most popular game on the NiWiFi service

It's a good way to build proficiency with a character, but so much of the advanced stuff comes from reading and anticipating your opponents. Personally, I'm looking forward to getting demolished online, as that will be excellent practice for tournaments.Stuneseht said:

I have that problem with FPS games. I'm hoping since I'm more acquainted with Smash, I can do my fair share of demolishing as well.Stuneseht said:

Yeah, I'm hoping I'm not destroyed online. I've been turned off many a game because of the one-sidedness in a match.

Personally, I don't think I'll be utilizing the online function that much. I got a regular group of friends I play with, including a bunch of "Serious!" players that I could hit up if I was interested in that type of party.
Between all that, I think I'll be fine. The fact that I stand to own the game for a whole 2-3 weeks before most people on my side of the 'hood will probably help me prepare... :lol

What's awesome about the release date is that I'm going to be in the States when that happens.

My use of the online function is going to rely mostly on how random the "with strangers" mode is. If it matches by relative skill (win vs. loss or something) then I probably use it a lot more than if it's just completely random.

I wouldn't play Melee until this comes out and saturate myself on the formula to be honest...I mean as much as I love the Smash Series, but I haven't played Melee in maybe 3 years, and don't want Brawl to be too familar if you know what I mean.
I'm kind of the opposite--I don't want Melee to be too familiar when I'm playing Brawl, don't want to get too used to the SSBM mechanics and gameplay speed and everything else when a lot of it will probably get thrown out the window for SSBB anyway.Christopher said:
Also, I have bad memories of suiciding three times in under a minute and a half because the first stage I got put in for SSBM was Yoshi's Island and I kept expecting Kirby's running A attack to be anything other than that horrible, horrible, uncontrollable fireball that sent me through the yellow blocks unto my doom.

Are you sure about that? Now granted, my source here is Wikipedia since I haven't actually completed Mother 3 (I won't until Starmen.Net's translation is finished), but I have read that Ness and his quest are mentioned numerous times in Mother 3. Besides, in Mother 2's ending, Pokey says that he's going to escape to "some other era to think about my next plan". Mother 3's story is probably the fruition of Pokey's "next plan".
The prospects of a new generation of Mother neophytes thinking that Pokey's name is "Porky" saddens me slightly. Now I know how all those people who insist on calling Dr. Eggman "Dr. Robotnik" feel.
What's this notice on the JP site?

FF spells will always be Fire 2, Bolt 3, and Cure 4 to me. None of this Fira, Thundaga, Curaja junk.Iam Canadian said:
Random tangent. I'm always just the slightest bit irked by how video game spells and special moves seem to never know that thunder is not the thing that electrocutes you. It's lightning, people. Lightning. Won't somebody think of the lightning? ;_; Not that thunder couldn't have its own great in-battle effects, like intimidating the enemy or paralyzing them with fear or something, but it isn't lightning. :|

And it is...but not necessarily in the way you may think. I won't spoil it for you, if you haven't played it yet.
Again, yes, but not necessarily as you may think. In the end, Porky accomplished his goal of world domination, but only because he jumped into another timeline/continuity/universe where Ness and pals were far and away removed. In the end, Porky "cheated". Couldn't beat Ness, so he fled away where his red hatted former neighbor wouldn't be a problem. ^^;
Not in the same school of thought, in my eyes.
Phonetically speaking, Porky and Pokey are basically the same thing in JP. So, for all things considered, they're one and the same. It really doesn't matter how you got about "romanizing" it, because both are technically correct.
But it's my general opinion that the only reason we got "Pokey" in the first place was because NoA's Dan Owsen and his translation team probably missed the "intended" meaning for the fat bastard's name (which is an honest mistake, I'll admit). And so, like so many other things when it comes to JP -> ENG efforts, it was just a thing lost in translation that just became a part of tradition, any how.

When translating the game, especially NES and SNES games, there are text limits on what you can fit in. Translators were afraid that Lightning would get confused with Light in general (not necessarily a spell or element) and no amount of working around it, like Lghtng looked right. Everyone understood Thunder, though.
Pikachu's 100,000 Bolt attack in Japanese becomes Thunderbolt in America because you can't fit that in the space for the move.

ShockingAlberto is correct. Fira, Firaga, etc is actually the true naming convention since FF1j. It's just that translators kept the Western naming convention until FFVIII came out, in which it seemed like Square was trying to fancify spell names, when in reality they are what the spell names were actually called for the longest time.
So there's no reason to be attached to Fire 1, 2, 3 other than Western gaming nostalgia. Square did not ruin anything by switching to the Japanese naming scheme.
And most Pokemon names and move names ended up getting changed. I remember watching an episode of Pokemon Sunday News and they were playing English Pokemon Battle Revolution, and as they saw "Close Combat", one of the hosts screamed out loud, "CLOOOOOOOSE COMMMMMMMBATTT!!!" It was great!

I'm tempted to ask you for one since I don't know what happened to mine.M3wThr33 said:

Absolutely pathetic part deux
I wonder how they will set-up the Subspace Emissary adventure. I hope it is somewhat similar to like you move along a map instead of just going directly stage to stage so that you can find some secret levels and stuff like that.

I think that is understating it. This game will probably be the highest selling game on the platform, and maybe of the generation if it has legs like I think it will.
Well given what it looks like we'll be getting as a 'Christmas surprise' on the Virtual Console this Monday [DKC3, Blades of Steel, Rolling Thunder 2], I wouldn't get your hopes up for something amazing on the Dojo. Of course, Sakurai is independent of NOA's inability to generate consistently awesome news without filler crap in between, so maybe we will get something.justchris said:
Just like we were going to get a megaton on December 3rd, right guys? And on Miyamoto's Birthday? And when Coro Coro released on the 15th? Keep hope alive! D:

If you go to the Go Nintendo blog and scroll down, you'll find another Brawl roster de-confirmation.
I'd specify, but I don't want to get banned.
