Top Five Reasons Super Smash Bros. Brawl May Suck

Not everything's rosy in Smashville. Before plunking down the cash for Nintendo's fighting game, consider these potential pitfalls.

#5 Mashing buttons equals victory

Say what you will about the different attacks and the interactive stages, but Super Smash Bros. Brawl is nothing but a glorified button masher. We're sure that throwing a well-timed Pokeball will often lead to success, but with so much going on, especially with F-Zero racers knocking into you and waves of lava swallowing everyone up, it'll be difficult to get your bearings, let alone become a hardcore master.

WOW those last few post were fanboy overkills. Look guys, i doubt anybody goes back to read replies they might get but yall are retarded. last I heard, wave dashing wasn't even an intentional feature, i'm pretty sure he means button mashing as in "Oh no so much **** happening , i gotta just spam the moves i know in whatever technique i know till things cool down." read the damn title, top five reasons it "MAY" suck. it doesn't say 5 really good reasons. I'm pretty sure there are really competitive ppl out there who would want some recognition, and a nice chat bout how they do this move or that.

what are you? retarded? have you ever even played any smash brothers games? if you did you probably sucked or else you would know that smash bros is not about rankings or talking trash. its about being able to master the game, and on that note you need SKILL to play smash you can only get so far by button mashing.

You're retarded for saying Smash is a button masher. Oh, you did it just to attract negative attention? ...You're MORE retarded? Wow, a difficult feat to accomplish but you've gone and done it, haven't you?

"Laying the smack down on opponents around the world is great, but it's almost meaningless without being able to talk trash." Yeah, no thanks. I don't need a bunch of 12 year olds yelling at me that I use "hax" just because I'm beating them. Voice chat would be stupid beyond belief.
