We are starting a Smash Bros. Brawl (SSBB hereafter) league. Post your Brawl friend code, your time zone, and what times you can play.
I want to get a game going where everyone has to play as a character that was in Smash Bros. Classic.
GSN:
Friend Code: 0688-4962-3472
Time Zone: PST
Play time: most every afternoon between 2 & 4 PM PST, Wednesday & Saturday evenings.

Gutless (or, as I currently have it, due to nick restrictions, Gutle)
Brawl code: 4553-9727-5408
Time zone: Central US (currently under the thrall of DST), so..GMZ -5, I think.
Play time: ? It's chaotic, at best. Just because I write the schedule at work doesn't mean that I'm always able to be off at specific times, heh. Still, I've gotten Twilight Princess out of the way, which catches me up on everything except the few VC games I bought, which means that the SSBB disc will be staying in, and I'll be checking in online when available.

Brawl Code: 5455-9120-7758
Time Zone: US Central: UTC -5 during DST, -6 otherwise
Play Time: More or less whenever for the moment.

If someone can walk me through the set up process (mine is in Japanese), I'd be happy to join you guys for an online game or two.

Once you have Brawl up to the first menu...
1. Choose the bottom left option to go to Wifi
2. Choose the left option, which is yes. It is asking if you want to connect to Wifi
3. Choose the top left option, this is "With Friends". The top right is "With Anyone"
4. You now have four choices. The important ones are Brawl (top left) and friend roster (top right). Select Friend Roster.
5. You should see a code around the top of the screen. That's your Brawl code, write it down.
6. Above (or is it below?) that code is the option to add friends. You'll be prompted to put in their code and a name.
7. Now, the very top option, you can set your name and four taunts. Though since these are in Japanese, I doubt any of us will understand them.
Once you have codes in, if anyone is online, you'll see them in Brawl or in your friend roster. You'll be able to host games (top option) or join their games by selecting them and selecting the top option that appears.
Real quick for With Anyone: top left is spectate, top right is Basic Brawl, and bottom is Team Brawl.
This should be accurate, assuming the Japanese menu layout is the same. I wasn't able to get onto Wifi from my dorm to double check though, so if any of my instructions are off, someone correct them.

Thanks a lot! I'll do my best to get that working when I have a chance.
Hope to meet you all soon on the battlefield!

Alright, I've gone through and added everyone. While I've been able to spectate a few games, I've never been able to join (or had anyone join) my own brawls. :|

I just finished my first few online battles. Won a few, (spectacularly) lost a few. I came across someone who was really good with Ike, and far too many people who thought they were (seriously, I wasn't in any games where one person wasn't either Marth or Ike). Beyond the lag being bad in a couple games, it was still a lot of fun. It just stresses how much I need to find local people to play with. Ah well, hopefully I'll be able to catch some of you others around soon.
JoshTigerheart
Apr 18 2008, 01:42 PM
Yeah, there's a bunch of move spammers who use Ike and seem to think they're good because they randomly get KOs in a FFA. I've found that getting to 1v1 them, which is unfortunately a rare occurrence, usually if their demise.

Honestly, though, I'm fairly disappointed with the online offerings so far. The options are just way too limited. I hope that, if the Wii online stuff really starts to take off, they'll either release a more online-centric version of brawl, or concentrate on getting Smash Bros. next incarnation built around online multiplayer modes. The addition of some kind of lobby and being able to limit the # of players in a game are the two biggest things I'd want at the moment, followed somewhere by an online chat system. (perhaps allow phones with bluetooth to act as special remotes for the wii, allowing use of their keypads for chatting?)
Of course, in the end, I understand that the online offerings were added at the end (or at least seemingly so...I don't really know how the dev. cycle played out), while the main game itself was always designed around single console experiences with friends in the same room as yourself. With this latter point, SSBB excels.

If they had a 1v1 mode with anyone, I'd be happy. Though with friends you can change the game modes and restrict the player count.

I'm going be online for a while. If you see this message within the 30-45 minutes get online and play some SSBB with me.

It's 1 PM in my timezone. Anyone want to play this afternoon?
JoshTigerheart
May 18 2008, 03:42 PM
If you're still going to be on within the next hour or two, I'll play.
gray_shirt_ninja
May 18 2008, 03:45 PM
I can get on right now.

May 18 2008, 05:33 PM
That was fun

I have some replays if anyone wants 'em. I gotta write a post for Colosseum now.
JoshTigerheart
May 18 2008, 07:57 PM
I didn't even think about saving replays. You didn't only save the ones you won, did you?

By the way, I loathe New Pork City, hence why I just got tired of the fight and suicided. It was taking too darn long.
gray_shirt_ninja
May 18 2008, 10:42 PM
No I saved others too. I hate New Pork as well. It's just too big. That first match where you had Zero Suit Samus and I had Samus was fun. As were all the matches I won.
JoshTigerheart
May 19 2008, 11:09 AM
Heh, that was the only match I didn't select both a random character and stage.

Anyone want to play? I'm rather bored so I'll be wandering around here for a while.

Can anyone play in the next four hours?

I'm without of wifi at my house, so I won't be smashing online unless I get a router or this fall when I get back to USM.

I'm pretty good but i don't actually have brawl.... yet. I hope to have it by next week.

my time zone is UTC - 4 hours if anyone can understand that

My friend code is 5284-2242-7301
Is anyone around for a game at about 5:00 PM? (UTC - 4 hours)
I will be playing as "John"
JoshTigerheart
Jul 10 2008, 11:44 AM
So, anyone up for some matches as 4:30 P.M. UTC -5/CDT today?
of doom
Jul 10 2008, 04:43 PM
i just got home.
but if your online...
JoshTigerheart
Jul 10 2008, 05:05 PM
Stupid phone rang and, because it uses the same wireless router as are network, knocked out the internet. I'm still on if you are.
of doom
Jul 10 2008, 09:10 PM
You are good. I had to go cook and eat my dinner. are you around tomorrow about 7PM?
JoshTigerheart
Jul 10 2008, 10:50 PM
Good matches, though I forgot to save replays again. I'll remember next time, though I'll need your Wii's friend code to send you anything.
I'm pretty doubtful due to my temporary job. However, I ought to be home by roughly 10:30 P.M. by my time, so if you wouldn't mind a later game I could be on from there to 11 P.M. But if I can make 7 P.M. (which would be six in my zone), I'll let you know.

I'll add your friend code next time I fire up Brawl.

Well now that I have an English version of the game, I'm having to work my way through all the story mode again and unlock everyone. The internet iin my current flat is absolutely awful, but I'm moving in a week so hopefully by that time I'll have more characters, and the ability to play with you guys!
