Wow, it's been 5 years since Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out. To me, Brawl was the game that solidified my purchase of a Nintendo Wii back in May 2008. Brawl was, and has been, an amazing game. Unlocking all characters, playing through the Subspace Emissary, creating new custom stages, collecting songs and stickers, and much more.

In the end, I really have only three main issues with the game:
1.) Nintendo Wi-Fi is not the best. Depending on your internet connection, you face having lag during a match. Also, the friend code system is not very convenient.
2.) The character roster is really unbalanced, with Meta Knight, Fox, Wolf, and Falco always having a good chance of winning any match.
3,) There are too many duplicate characters, more so than Melee.

Regardless of these nitpicks/complaints, I do like all Smash Bros. games regardless, from Smash Bros. 64 to Brawl. I hope the next installment of Smash Bros. is amazing as well.

I'm excited, but I will wait at least a year or two, until more games come out and for the price to fall. Being a sophomore in college, spending $300+ on a new home console, plus a library of games to support it, is not a good idea for me right now.

I think I might try to attend this tournament, even though I won't be able to attend the entire thing.
