Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a Nintendo Wii game made by HAL Laboratory. It is the third installment of the series, and it is already the most popular. There are a total of 35 characters, 41 stages, and hundreds of stickers and trophies, including the playables, non-playables, and assist trophies!

Casual vs. Hardcore
There are 2 different ways to play Brawl- Casually and Competitively.

Casually
The casual way to play Brawl (The noobs way, according to KF) is when a player completely ignores tourney rules. They use items, go on banned stages, ignore tier lists, and, for the most part, think their way of playing is better. Kirbyfan66 despises this way of playing, as he says:

''It basically takes all of fun out of the game. I mean, it's so much more satisying to KO someone with a Falcon combo than to just throw bombs and use assist trophies. Use skill, not items.''

Sadly, Brawl is much more casual than its predecessor, Melee (to KF, a Hardcore Gamers Wet Dream).

Hardcore
The other way to play it, the competitive way, is the way Kirbyfan plays- as well as some others on VG Mania. It's a lot more limited- no items, legal stages only (neutrals and counter-picks), and for the most part, thinking their way is better, but would at least understand why casuals do what they do. Tier lists are made by the best of the best- and the competitive way is always used. Currently, Meta Knight is at #1 and Ganondorf is at the bottom. There is a Tier List topic and a Brawl topic on VG Mania, but only the latter survived.

Reception on VG Mania
On VG Mania, Brawl is referred to as, "The Best Game EVAR!!!" by many members. Despite being the biggest Brawl fan on the site, KF is the first one who actually sided against it in the "Brawl is Amazing" question. Everyone else who talks about Brawl (nintendogamer2012, LuigiTailsPrower, JMurph95, and more) praise the game.

Nintendogamer2012 brought up the fact that Nintendo could make an online shop for Brawl. Once again, KF disagreed, and nobody else posted their thoughts.
