I'm especially glad they redid some of the old Donkey Kong music. The original 3 Donkey Kong games had some of the best video game music ever--especially Donkey Kong Country 2. I really enjoy hearing those old Donkey Kong songs reinvented as I play Brawl.

Great idea! They'd be perfect for close-range and mid-range damage dealing. They'd be great for rooting opponents out of defensive positions, especially if they mastered their common down-A aerial dropkick, which, if properly coordinated, could overwhelm just about any ground-based team. Their...

My brother and I have taken out Fox and Falco teams before, but they're really hard to beat; I think Fox and Wolf would be even harder. The Starfox characters are great for long-range battles on flat levels because they can deflect projectiles and send a constant stream of laser fire your way. They'd...

What might be even better is a team of Ike and Pit. If the two stuck together, Pit draw enemies by sniping, and when they approach, he could act as a shield for Ike using his spinning Blades. His blades--or any of his weak, fast attacks--would incapacitate the enemy just long enough for Ike to KO them...

My brother and I love team battles. In Smash Bros. Melee, we would give ourselves handicaps and train as a two-man team against two level 9 computer players. Consequently, we put a lot of thought into generating challenging opposing teams, and as our opponents got harder, we had to find new combinations...

If you're struggling to find the main or group of mains that is best suited for you, check out my character guides in the characters forums. I explain a lot of the characters' moves, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and provide strategies for using them. I also explain what levels, settings...

Oh THANK GOD we can use the old Gamecube controls. I haven't gotten a chance to pick up a Gamecube controller yet so I'm using the Wii remote/nunchuk combo. I used to use the X/Y buttons on the cube controller to do all my jumping. I'm having the hardest time getting used to my jump button...

I'm curious to see how many people will be attending the midnight release for Smash Brothers Brawl. Personally, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas with the anticipation of this Saturday release. I'll probably camp out for hours with friends like a Star Wars fanatic at the release of Episode...

One thing that will immediately strike you about this game is its beauty. Each character is intricately rendered with even the most minute details. Every character has been created as "true to life" as possible, right down to the buckles on their boots and triggers on their guns. I used to...
