A bad idea? Perhaps. But can't you just accept the wishes of the creators? If it's in the game, there must be some kind of ultimate reasoning behind it, as it would have to pass at least a few people to get by in the final product. We are not the makers, we are not higher-ups, we are consumers. To tamper with what they intended seems like a crime. Why do you think it's so hard to do? It should be left alone, and kept secluded to a minute group, never to be used on an even remotely large scale.
The wishes of the creators were to eliminate any sort of competitivity and make things easier for casual gamers, forcing hardcore gamers to settle for what the casuals love.
We should be accepting it, or it's a crime? That's ridiculous! You're **** right, we
are the consumers. We spent $50 on the game, so who the hell are they (or you) to tell us we're not allowed to? We bought the Wii, we bought the game, we're allowed to do whatever the hell we want.
Sakurai must be in a corner crying now that someone has managed to remove his pride and joy.
Haha, yeah. I hope he is.
A note in the advertisement?
As much as I also hated changing the game code, I have to agree that I can't see a downside for this hack. Nothing but an advantage here. It's not going to change anyones playstyle, or have anyone rethink anything.
I completely agree. I'm against hacking 90% of the time. But if it's a fun hack (like Debug mode in Melee) or to circumvent something stupid (like tripping, or event Pokemon in the Pokemon games) that the creators implemented, I see no problem with it. What's wrong with it? It's no cheaper than turning items off. They should've given us the ability to toggle tripping on/off in the first place.
Also, I wonder if Nintendo knows about the whole TP debug thing, and if they do, what they are thinking right now.
I'm sure they do, and I bet they're planning on updating the Wii to make the Homebrew Channel/Twilight Hack stop working. Unfortunately for them, unless they make an update come with Animal Crossing: City Folk they're not getting me to update. And there are surely unlimited possibilities, I
doubt that one update will elminate those things forever. Update 3.3 already tried that, and they fixed it.
I was about to say the same thing to everyone you quoted...
Shut up, you've never tripped into Ike's FSmash. You know why? You would never be running towards Ike when he is charging this smash -.- Ok, seriously, this "OMG BWAAA I TRIPPED INTO IKES FSMASH BWAA" stuff is so stupid.
This code is worthless anyways, tripping isn't like every ten seconds you trip. It's random, and just as many times as YOU have tripped, the OPPONENT trips. You aren't the only people who this is happening to, you are just the only people who give a worthless dam. =__=
Let me try to work up a few situations for you where you might trip into Ike's FSmash. Say you're playing as Marth, Ike, or Lucario -- someone with a counter. You see him charging an FSmash and you go over there to counter it, but when you get in range of Ike to counter, you trip.
Another; What if you're just trying to get close to him? Say, you want to get just outside of the range of his attack so once he finishes it you can punish him, but when you get just outside of the range you trip, which makes you go forward enough to get hit.
Point is, it has happened. I know I've tripped into attacks before -- you might not think it'll happen until it does.
Hopefully Nintendo releases another patch to detect modified Brawl data and fries your Wii consoles.
So you're saying that Nintendo should destroy the $250 product I invested in because I'm not playing how they want me to, because I'm not playing how
you want me to? Is that not ridiculous?
Let people who want to hack hack. If you are against hacking, don't hack, and don't go to a tournament where they are hacking. But don't try to tell me that I'm screwed up for wanting to hack, or that Nintendo should be destroying an expensive product because I do hack.
