I've played at least 12 hours straight of Brawl with my friend and I was having the biggest nerdgasm. No words can describe how utterly awesome it really is. =^^= Some things like Falcon not being fun anymore are bad, but Snake is the new Falcon so it's all good. All I need to unlock are Wolf, Jigglypuff, Toon Link, Sonic, and Ganondorf, I think.

It turns out, you need to trade Friend Codes that come with your game, so the Wii code wasn't really necessary Well, thanks to those that did trade, and we could still trade any of the codes if you want.

Friend code:
1246-8377-3301

Wii code:
3731 6951 3299 9567

Add me! =O I'm sure I'll be a good opponent.

There was also a Smash Melee tournament 4 hours before Brawl was released and I entered with a friend. A lot sucked, really, but there were some real good ones there. My friend was out early, in his second match (says the system was lagging on their tv). I won my bracket and got a little trophy. I eventually lost in the semifinals against a Marth while I used Peach. I was winning with my signature white Link before, but decided on Peach against Marth since that's a better match-up. My friends were right when they said not to make last minute strategies at the end. I should've stayed with my Link, but it's all good. I took home 3rd place after beating the other semifinalist with Link against his Fox.

So get ready to Brawl
