The Worst of the Best

Friday, April 4th, 2008

"The Best" is Super Smash Bros. Brawl. "The Worst" is the things about it I don't like.
Worst Music: Ashley's Theme, which you can hear here... I mean, hear here.
Worst Stage: Rumble Falls. It scrolls up and there are these green and purple spikes all over that are basically a one-hit K. O. if you touch them. But you can't see them coming because it scrolls up and if you get a bit off you're dead.
Worst Item: Dragoon. I'm very thankful for the Item Select because when this item comes the whole match becomes about collecting the three parts and not so much about getting K. O.s.
Worst Assist Trophy: Saki Amaniya. Half the time he just falls off the stage.
Worst Poké Ball: I can't say Goldeen - that's just unfair, so I'll say Gardevoir. It reflects projectiles. I was once playing a Poké Ball-fest (all items Poké Ball). First came Gardevoir, then I got Bonsly. I threw Bonsly at an opponent in my Gardevoirs protective sphere. I got K. O'd.
The coveted prize of Worst Character goes to... Yoshi. I can't stand Yoshi. That high-pitched voice... Yoshi was okay in the N64 version. Yoshi got more annoying in Melee. Yoshi is the most annoying thing ever in Brawl. His voice is enough to make me jump off the battle stage just to escape it.

Smash Bros. DOJO!! We Hardly Knew Thee

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I remember finding the Smash Bros. DOJO!! in late May of 2007. I had been recently heartbroken because I was supposed to get Brawl March 30, but they moved the release date to "TBA." The Dojo helped the pain. Now the Dojo is coming to an end on April 14. How will I go on? In this article, I'll highlight some of my most treasured moments from the Dojo.
July 12: Brawl is coming out December 3rd. Yay!
September 18: Wi-Fi Play is confirmed.
October 10: Sonic is in Brawl! Hooray!
October 12: Brawl is coming out February 10. Well... okay.
January 15: Brawl is coming out March 9. I think I can make it.
February 1: The Dojo takes on a new lay out which intrigues me.
April 3: I find out that I must treasure my last eleven days with the Dojo.

Gaming April Fool

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

I really don't like April Fool's Day. A bunch of people that think they're funny try to ruin the fun of gamers - I'm talking about April Fool's Day on the internet.
So far, today, I've read that there is a new Wii channel coming out for Smash Bros. Brawl that will let you download "one billion" new characters and "ten gajillion" new stages. Also you'll be able to "defeat every boss by distracting them with cute kittens" in Zelda: Twilight Princess.
This was not funny. I was pretty excited for a couple of seconds.
I hate April Fool's Day on the internet.


Thank you for visiting Maybe a Starbucks.
