I've played Brawl. :D

I played it for a good 2-3 hours. So far I've noticed little lag, loading times aren't bad at all, and I've quickly gotten used to playing it. I'm sure it's partly to do with the hype, but I absolutely loved every moment of it, and now my friend's taken it back to his house, so I'm craving another game :laugh: I'll just wait till tomorrow.

I didn't find tripping that common, and in some cases it actually helps. I guess it's just luck. Smash Balls are common, but they're fun as hell. Balancing is amazing IMO, I played a lot with Ness, Ike and ZSS, all of which are awesome fun to play as, and it's great that Ness has been buffed. I also played Yoshi... he's not as bad as people say he is, but he could be better :p

I'm actually almost completely used to it now, and I don't think I'll be going back to Melee.

**** - the Freeloaders didn't arrive today. The guy in the shop phoned the courier to find out why, and apparently it's due to the storms in southern England. So I just played the in-store Brawl for a couple hours. I'm 99% sure I will be playing my own copy tomorrow. Even if I don't, I'll still get a good few more plays on the store copy.

I ordered from 365games.co.uk.

They replied to my email immediatley enquiring about postage.

I ordered mine on MOnday Morning and pyaed an extra £2 for a 1-2 day delivery. Its down to Royal Mail to make sure it gets to me tommorow. If not. I shan't be happy.
Exactly the same as me, although i ordered mine on sunday. If they aren't here tomorrow, i won't be held responsible for what happens to my postman.

GC, I didn't have time to play much, since it's gone for the day now ( :( )

Also all the menus were in Japanese... no time to ponder such things, because Sakurai has just grabbed a Smash Ball.

w00t. Go all 365ers!!

No silly waiting lists, No UPS tracking. They stick to their word, its down to Royal Mail (assuming your in the UK) to get it to you.

Anyone else finding the bosses in SSE a chore? =S
They're rather boring, and annoying. Especially the boss you have to fight twice in a row ><


SSE is pretty fun in short bursts, but gets extremely monotonous after a while.
Still fun though x]

Sometimes if they're nice enough they'll leave it with your neighbor or in your recycling box (if it's dry)

Spectator mode is fun.
I just watched 2 Snake's literally just fire missiles all throughout the match. All they did was randomly aim them everywhere.

Now I'm watching a Lucas spam PK thunder. I'm not joking. All I can hear is " PK THUNDAH!"

I wish I could play Brawl so often and so leasurely.... :laugh:

But I guess it's a good thing I don't own it yet, I need to focus on my coursework for the next week + half. I'll try to get a US Brawl soon.

Lol. I can't be lucky. My mom payed for the Freeloader, and she said, that because she payed for most of my games (I have my own money, but I'm not allowed to spend them on games how I want), it was my dad's turn to pay for Brawl. And guess what? He refuses to buy it. He is very anti-games and will never spend 50€ on a game. So my only hope of getting an imported copy of Brawl, is to persuade my mom to pay for Brawl as well. :(

Does anybody know how to locate order tracking on the 365 stuff? I can't seem to find how to do it, I assume it's Royal Mail? I payed the £6 for UK Next Day. Hmm.
