Brawl!

I am a huge fan of the Wii game Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Yeah! I just can't get enough of it. Through wi-fi, I Brawl all sorts of people. For those of you who have Brawl, I'd love to brawl you. For those who don't, GET IT NOW!

Most people have one main character. Well, I'm different: I have 2. Lucas and Peach. At first, it was just Lucas, but as I brawled more and more using Peach, I slowly improved with her enough to call her one of my 2 best charries. Other than those two, I also use Lucario, Jigglypuff, and occasionally Game&Watch or Pikachu. Yeah, I use all three Pokemon. I like Pokemon. Got a problem? No? Good.

Anyway, I'm on a few Brawl-related forums. There, I meet lots of very good competitive Brawlers. So I Brawl them. Yeah, I lose a lot, but practice makes perfect, right? I'm slowly getting better. So what if my best friend is tons better than me at Brawl? I beat him sometimes. Those other times, I just assess what I did and learn from my mistakes. That's the best thing to do to get better, after all.

I can brawl for hours. When my friends are over, brawling makes up half of our time together, at least. We just can't get enough! And when I have nothing else to do, I go on wi-fi and Brawl whoever's on. Some days I play for three or four hours, accumulated. (Never all at once. That makes my body feel weird.) When going to a friends house, an essential to bring is my controller, an SD card, and a readiness to do my best at Brawl.

Before SSB Brawl, it was SSB Melee. In some ways, it was better than Brawl, but in other ways, Brawl is way better. Maybe most people don't notice, but I do. When you're a serious gamer, you notice EVERYTHING. Brawl has a ton of new characters, but I do miss some of the older ones. I used Pichu sometimes in Melee, but he's not in Brawl. Pichu was considered pathetic by many people, because he had weak attacks, was extremely lightweight, and somewhat difficult to use. But when you're a serious gamer, you don't care. You find a way to use the character's strengths to your advantage. In Pichu's case, it's that his speed is matched by none. Some people put characters in Tier Lists. Pichu was at the bottom Tier. But I think Tier Lists are silly. Every character is good if you take the time to learn it's strengths and weaknesses, get good with the characters move set, and practice with it.

So, yeah. I'm a fanatic when it comes to Brawl, but in a good way. And, once again, if you don't have it, get it now! I want to brawl you!

  1. Hi Larissa, I do not own a Wii, but my younger cousin does and she has Super Smash Brothers Brawl too. I love playing it. Whenever I play, I am either Yoshi or Peach. They are my favorite. I think it is cool that you like pokemon, they are coming back into stlye again. My same cousin that has the Wii is now starting to like pokemon. I stopped liking it when I was in 3rd grade, but if you like it, then good for you :-) Anyway, no matter how long you play the Wii, atleast you are getting exercise because you have to use your arms so much. lol
