Brawl Article I'm interested in opinions on.

The Smash Bros. series is a strange anomaly on the face of gaming. It's a fighting game that's not really a fighting game. It's a platformer that's not really about platforming. It's an unabashed revelry in all things Nintendo, but resists simple classification as indulgent fan service. Smash Bros. games have become a point of obsession for many hardcore fans and spawned a thriving culture of tournament play with an encyclopedic set of moves, exploits, and counters. Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii continues all of the most distinctive qualities of the series in what has already become one of the best-reviewed games of all time. All of which is strange because of how disjunctive and vapid the game really is, once you dig into it. So then, let's dig into it.

Smash Bros. is designed around approachability. Throwing out the more traditional fighting game approach of convoluted sequences of button presses and joystick manipulation, Smash Bros. ties every character's move set to a single button push in combination with a single directional press on the analog stick. If you can do one character's moves, you can do them all. The unintended result of this control setup is a lop-sided disconnect between the interface and the attack types and the length of their animations. Having an identical input for a move that lasts a quarter of a second as for a move that has an animation over a second long creates a strange break between the games controls and the action in the game.

This is painfully apparent in Brawl where it can feel like you are simply babysitting your character through a sequence of canned animations while intermittently providing another identical input to generate an absurdly disconnected reaction. In more traditional fighting games, the difficult inputs required to execute more exaggerated moves isn't just a way of balancing risk and reward but an interactive mask that justifies the length of the attack animation when you lose control of your character. In this model, quick and responsive attacks have simple and direct inputs, while attacks with longer attack animations require longer input sequences. This subconscious symmetry of input with the in-game result is completely lacking in Brawl. The side-effect is a sense of controller lag, in which players are left mashing buttons while nothing happens on screen because they're still stuck in the previous attack's animation.

You can learn to work around the distancing effect of Brawl's attack animation and disconnected controls, but it goes against the most basic input/feedback loop that gaming is built on. The most compelling games are the ones with the smallest distance between the player's input and the game returning a result based on their input. From hitting a button to spin a Tetris block to angling an analog stick to change your aim in Halo, having direct and immediate feedback at all times in a game is the umbilical cord which connects players to the fabricated game world. In Brawl, you're all too frequently mashing buttons to move your character while nothing happens because they're still finishing off the animation from a previous move, be it an exaggerated dash, an ornate butt stomp, or a charged special attack. Learning the timing of each attack goes a long way to making the basic system of attacking more playable, but there's little denying that it's a system which requires the player to work around moments of non-interactivity.

The typical parry for this criticism has been that the person just isn't good at the game. "You don't understand the game because you suck at it." This is argument is totally antithetical to the stated purpose of the game being approachable above all things. If you have to have skill to understand Brawl, what's the point of the simplified control scheme? Indeed, if I suck at the game it should be more enjoyable to me, since I'm the intended audience for whom the game has been balanced. No, the schism between liking and disliking Brawl isn't based on skill but aesthetics. In short, Brawl, like its predecessors, is a game that panders and basely titillates the players who greedily drink in every absurd frame of animation and all of the go-for-broke explosions and special effects. Brawl, more so than any previous Smash game is a fantasia of pure whimsy disconnected from any deeper meaning.

Whereas the original game had the clever framing device of the Master Hand serving as the imperiously omnipotent hand of the child forcing his toys into uncharacteristically violent action, Brawl has forgone the concession of its nonsensical origins. In place of the parable of Master Hand, we're given the randomly epic narrative of the Subspace Emissary strolling through Nintendo-land turning all of Kyoto's most precious icons into statues. In the original Smash, there was an implicit concession to the notion that all of the players were inanimate puppets being actively manipulated by the player/hand. That paradigm is reversed in Brawl, where the characters begin as sentient creatures with lives outside of their individual game worlds, who are only objectified by some nefarious ray gun which shoots, presumably, some cartoonish version of Eddington's time arrow. In Subspace Emissary, Sakurai has made a tragically detrimental shift in theme that takes the meager but effective framing of the original and turns it into an unbridled exercise in masturbatory excess.

This is a point which circles back on the argument for skill being a crucial component to understanding the game. Obviously, anyone can build up a significant amount of skill in any game they apply themselves to. Supporting skilled players isn't a validation of a given game; it's a tool for the player to validate themselves irrespective of the game. The path towards skill acquisition in Brawl is a relatively simple one, requiring only practice and attention to the timing of each attack's animation. The question more central to Brawl is about the way the game rewards players for attaining a high level of skill. Setting aside the botched story-progression of Subspace Emissary, the ultimate in-game reward of mastering Brawl is the experience of becoming the toy master. Highly skilled players have learned how to relate the same rooted controls across a wide array of different characters and attack. They have melded hand-eye coordination with a childish imagination that can support a world where Mario would fight Samus or Solid Snake.

In other words, Smash Bros. Brawl is a developmentally regressive experience when played on the highest level. It allows players to walk backwards through time and entertain the same primal amusement of a child laughing disconnectedly at the bright flashing colors and lights on the TV screen. There's certainly nothing inherently bad about offering that kind of an experience, but neither is there anything remarkably enlightened or special about it. While the original Smash at least had a sense of perspective about the experience it offered, Brawl has gone totally insane with its branding and self-referential arcana. If it's difficult to have a good time with the game's cumbersomely-timed controls, it's all but impossible to invest in a world whose primary motivation is to nurture your inner toddler.

There's a fine line between simple, family-oriented stories and pure exploitation. This is a line Brawl has crossed irredeemably, making it a hollow and vapid tome to the corporate iconography that has financed its development. In films like Toy Story and Bambi, simple family-friendly aesthetics are presented in a way that unabashedly appeals to, and entertains, the remnant youngster in all of us. Yet, these stories are couched in terms that acknowledge the fundamentally fleeting quality of that childish wonder. In short, these stories are about growing up. The presence of Master Hand as the centralizing villain in the original Smash game was a conscious conceit to the immature state of mind of a person capable of investing themselves in an absurd fantasy world where Mario would have to fight ten Captain Falcon's in a row. In Brawl the script has been flipped, portraying the world where our little mascots might exist as empty objects (i.e. the real world) as the ridiculous one.

This theme is all the more disturbing given the uniquely corporate ties that Brawl has. Like every Smash game, Brawl is an unabashed promotional pamphlet for anything and everything Nintendo has done. Sakurai and his team have taken enormous pains to stuff Brawl to the gills with nods to hundreds of old Nintendo titles. His approach treats every game as a sub-franchise that exists under the all-knowing banner of Nintendo which has been the patron of them all, in one form or another (Sonic and Solid Snake excluded). The unfortunate irony is that this meta-celebration totally neuters the charm that any of the characters have as individuals. Mario and Samus exist at cross-purposes, as do Link and Captain Falcon. So much of what makes each character special is lost through the game's silent emphasis on Nintendo as the generative deity that has spawned them all. Miyamoto didn't create Link for a specific reason, "Nintendo" willed him into being. Is this not the very image and embodiment of corporate propaganda?

Smash Bros. famously began as a prototype for a generic martial arts game and it's tempting not to imagine what would have happened with the series if Nintendo had never agreed to let its mascots be used in the game. Would the fighting mechanics be as compelling if all of the same moves were tethered to a series of Bruce Lee clones? Would the Pavlovian outbursts of joy be the same if it was a ninja performing Link's spin attack? It's difficult to imagine that anyone would care. The disappointing truth of Smash Bros. Brawl is that of a game with unresponsive controls, a vapid narrative context, superficially titillating visuals, and a deeply disturbing nod to the corporate progenitor to which so many players associate their personal gaming experiences with.

"But it's fun." This is the argument any conversation about Smash Bros. always returns to. What is fun about it? Is it simply the experience of being good at something? Is it the wonder of seeing all your favorite childhood toys in one centralized hub world, fully pliable and willing to supplicate to your whims? Is it the experience of playing against your friends in an absurd cartoon world where all the normal constraints of real life fade away in the charred path of Pikachu's lightning strike? Isn't it, instead a kind of mass hypnosis (all too common in the gaming world) where we mutually convince ourselves that the brand is the message; that the label we package the experience in is paramount? Playing Brawl is an uncomfortably empty experience. When I put down the Wii remote and nunchuk (yes, that's how I prefer to play) and walk away from the Wii, I feel like I've given more of myself than I received in return from the game. It doesn't matter, finally, whether I've won or lost because the game has provided me with nothing but distraction.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl represents the very worst face of gaming, the side which takes us away from ourselves in a catatonic hypnosis and with no greater reward than time out of mind. Forgive me, but I don't approve, and I'm not resigned.

This is from the Contrarian Corner on IGN which says it all really. Usually he makes some points even if I don't agree with the article in the first place, but this one... well, I'm not sure. Anybody else have any thoughts?

Fighting Style Meme ganked from faesdeynia!

Your Score: Muay Thai Kickboxing

You wanted 71% traditionalism, 60% practicality, 38% weapons use, and 42% softness (a low softness gives you a "hard" style)

There's no surer way to say "I'm fucking hardcore" than to say "I train in Muay Thai Kickboxing." Yeah, it's that awesome.

Pick a body part. Find a way to make it move fast. Make it move fast in the direction of your opponent's face. There you have it, the heart of the sport. Elbows, knees, anything goes. Muay Thai has tradition, but the good kind of tradition: the kind that lets you know that twisting your leg to exactly that many degrees has led hundreds of thousands before you to throw devastating kicks - and it'll work for you, too.

The national sport of Thailand, legend goes that Muay Thai was created when America tried to introduce Thailand to boxing, and their entire populace as one, said "Wow. LAME. Let's show you how that's really done."

Or not. I've never been big on legends.

As a romantic partner, you are generous and gentle. Occasionally you may be taken for granted because of this fact. You are tireless in providing acts of service for your loved ones. You run the risk of always being exhausted because you won't say no to your partner. You are sensitive to criticism and will withdraw rather than fight back. You wish to be appreciated for your loyalty and whole hearted nuturing. Your values must be respected and you thrive on consideration and kindness.

Ganked from dh01 Also done since people wanted me to because... well, you'll see. :P

Name 12 characters you have played in RPGs, before looking at the questions that follow. List your characters numbered 1 to 12, with the name of the RPG you played them in. Once you've picked your 12 characters, look at the questions and answer accordingly. (No peeking until you've picked your characters!) Put your answers behind a LJ-cut.

1. Ryan (#OS-Nexus/#Nexus-R) - Ah, zaa original. Martial artist and all around 'dude'. Had many adventures and misadventures. The start of an epic 10 year... thing. I believe that's what you call them.

2. Ryeka (#SuperDuperOSBeseen/#OS-Nexus) - Came about during a joke a long long time ago. I still have a special place for her in my heart. :P

3. Ryan (#Nexus-144) - He is back! But he is not the same guy. Nah, he was somebody different in a whole new cool game. There was a younger and an older version of him. He also got to father 'God'. True story!

4. Ryan (#Messiah2) - Once more, he is different. He had a whole buttload of issues. And cool scars. And fought with a staff. Maybe I can be accused of just sucking with names, but you would be wrong! There is a method to this madness.

5. Ryan (#Mythos) - See, this one was totally different. Because he got turned into a she. And a faerie at that. ... don't look at me like that. She got to kick a Cyclops' ass! ... well, technically eye, but still!

6. Ryan Izuki (#Exile) - The latest one. Dude gets to be a mecha pilot. Awesomeness.

7. Reiki Mizata (#Shounen) - Quiet, badass swordsman with power over water. Dude needs to be played again. <.<

8. Sho Inarashi (#KikadeIsland) - Fighting Type Pokemon Specialist. Handpicks his Pokemon and trains them himself, so they have learned tricks that regular Pokemon wouldn't learn. :O

9. Tsugumi Senjo (#Messiah3) - Blind Fighting Taijitsu/Judo martial artist. Uses ki for seeing. Another person I need to play again.

10. Kijin Kunou (#Nexus) - Subtle evil badass villain. He is cool. And has a *secret*. :O

11. Junpei Todoriki (#SRD) - It's Junpei. You've gotta love him.

12. Elmekkia (#GameWhoseNameICan'tRemember-_-) - Only got to play her once but I shall always remember my saintly Goddess of Bondage and Domination who shows people the more interesting sides of love! She got to act nice and kind! And spank a girl!

1) Who would make a better college professor: 6, or 11?

Hmmm. Well, Junpei's a teenager who does pretty badly in school. Ryan (#Exile) is an adult who is a martial artist master. ... I guess Ryan might edge Junpei out a bit. <.<

2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?

As hot as a girl who wields a whip with disturbing ease and has a rather interesting laugh can be... yeah, I guess I can say so.

3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?

Hah hah.

The mission: To find somebody she picks out and administer spankings in her name.

The result: Sho would balk and regretfully say that he can't do such a thing.

... and probably wind up spanked himself.

4) What is, or would be, 9's favourite book?

Three Blind Mice.

Nah, I'm kidding. It'd probably be romance novels. When she's not fighting, she's pretty girly.

5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?

If Ryan beat Ryeka in a fight, she probably would.

6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?

Tsugumi. Last person Faerie Ryan needs to be rooming with is a villainous dude with a worse side.

7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?

Ryeka and Elmekkia would probably discuss whipping techniques and the fine usage of other implements. Reiki would quietly eat his food
and hope they don't decide to try out their ideas on him. :P

8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?

Hmm. Either Ryan would probably trounce Kijin until he got tired and unleashed the sorceror fury. After that younger Ryan would put up a good fight, but probably be put down. Older Ryan would put up a tougher fight. It'd be a heck of a battle.

9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?

Sho's most precious possession would be his Hitmonlee. He's the first Pokemon he's caught and trained. And he would get him back through awesome battle! :D Though I dunno why Ryan would do such a thing. :/

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.

"Calm Hands of Love".

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?

Time/dimensional travel. Easy peasy.

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?

Good tea. Good sushi. Very well.

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?

Teach me how to fight. -_-

14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?

Hmm... nope, can't say so.

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?

Hmmmmmm. M2 Ryan. More interesting ideas there. :D

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?

"Lament your regrets in the afterlife."

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?

"Guts da ze" by Ulfuls

18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?

Both Ryan's would probably look at each other for a split second before a flurry of fork strikes were dealt out to try and grab it. Then there'd be a crack of the whip and the both of them would look at Elmekkia who would smile back them sweetly. Then they'd probably begrudgingly hand it to her. :P

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?

"So, want to see if lightning really doesn't strike in the same place twice?"

20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?

Indecent exposure.

Do you know how hard it is to find well fitting clothing for her size? :O

21) What is 6's secret?

Dude's got a crush on one of his UEC teammates. And cares more for the other one than he thinks. <.<

22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?

Hmm. I would say Tsugumi, as she is the better fit person. Now, if Junpei uses Kikaioh... <.<

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?

Well, Sho's cool and all. But Reiki's got a sword. And water powers. That's a balance tipper. :D

24) 1 (#OS Ryan) and 9 (Tsugumi) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (#M2 Ryan) sinister secret organization. 11 (Junpei) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4 (#M2 Ryan). Meanwhile, 4 (#M2 Ryan) has kidnapped 12 (Elmekkia) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (#Mythos Ryan), they seek out 3 (#144 Ryan), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?

Man, that's easy.

"Crisis of Infinite Ryan's." :P But man, that paragraph is far cooler than it has any reason being.

I am the mission.

You're a mecha pilot!

You might be a sub-category of bishounen, but this hardly matters since you don't notice anything that didn't feature in the last edition of Guns'n'Ammo magazine. You have been trained since an unfeasibly early age to be a machine of death and destruction. If you've noticed an annoying girl following you around and repeatedly getting into danger and requiring rescue recently, run like hell - she's probably your love interest...

Which generic anime character are you?

Oh yeah, that fits. w3rd up, yo.

In actual other news, my life's taken a turn for the better. Start of the year sucked major ass but the rest is turning out pretty spankin'. I am no longer a Peace Officer.

I am now... a TRAIN CONDUCTOR FOR THE MTA. :O

Yeah, they finally sent me notice they might hire me 3 weeks ago. After 2 and a half years of waiting. :P But I went to where I had to go, stayed for however long I had to, jumped through the hoops and *BAM!*. Hireage.

So, right now I'm doing training. And after the first week I've gotta say the job's easier than I thought it would be. Think I've got a good handle of knowing a lot about the Train Operator's job, too, so that'll help if I ever wanna go in for a promotion.

All in all a nice step up. Even if I keep getting warned about terrorist attacks from former co-workers. :P The way I see it is that as long as I'm riding the subway it would've been a risk, anyway. This way I can actually help if anything happens.

... also helps that my pay before overtime and all that pretty much doubled from my last job.

Cute & Small Boobs
Raw score: 44% Big Breasts, 54% Big Ass, and 68% Cute!

Thanks for taking the T and A and C test! Based on your selections, the results are clear: you show an attraction to smaller breasts, larger asses, and sexier composure than others who've taken the test.

Note that because you scored small on breasts but large on ass size, it might appear you like girls bottom heavy. That's probably not the case. What's more likely is that you notice curvy, voluptuous butts, and you don't like big, fake boobs. Big real boobs are even worse because of the sag.

Anyway, my third variable, "cuteness" is a mostly objective measure of how innocent a given model looked. It's determined by a combination of a lot of factors: lack of dark eye makeup, facial expression, posture, etc. If you scored high on that variable, you are either really nice OR you're into deflowering teens. If you scored low, you are attracted to raunchier, sexier, women. In your case, your higher than average score suggests you appreciate a cuter, nicer look. Kudos!

Recommended Celebrity: Hilary Duff, because she is the ultimate in cute! Especially since she lost that baby fat!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

http://1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3146238

Y'know that there fan sequel to King's Quest 8 that those guys wanted to do? And that Vivendi subsequently tried to put a kibosh on?

Now they're letting them do it.

And they're re-releasing anthologies of the old games.

Boo and yah.

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it.
That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power!
The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism.

You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.
Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.
You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you?

You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.
Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.
As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

the Comic
(42% dark, 26% spontaneous, 52% vulgar)

your humor style:
VULGAR | COMPLEX | LIGHT

Yours is the most versatile and also the most popular kind of humor.
You'll crack a joke about just about anything, but you're not
mean-spirited or intimidating, so you can get away with it--even when,
for example, you bust on Mexicans.

You appreciate a good dirty joke as much as next person, but, over all,
you've got a brainier approach to humor than most. Now just go out
there and write up a routine; it's likely you'd be good at it.

You know, I find this totally amusing considering I'm playing Path of Neo right now.

And it's funny. I had to answer a tie breaker question after the quiz. If it wasn't for my answer, I would've got the Terminator instead. Iiiinteresting.

Life is...

Great.

Actually, it's fucking great.

And that's not just a gratuitious use of fucking. ... well, gratuitously emotional, but still it doesn't change the simple fact that life is fucking great.

I mean, I've had a smile on my face the whole day. It's just that awesome. I don't remember being this pleased, content, what have you in a real long time.

And it's pretty much do to one person.

I mean, hell, awhile ago I was wondering if I'd ever get married.

At this point it's switched to a matter of when.

Yeah, it's that serious. :P

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be gushing this much if this was a person I'd just met. But nah, I've known her for *years* so I'm pretty confident I can feel this way.

Yep, confident. I'm confident that she's my confidante. Hell, she's the only person on this planet that knows all the things I've told her. And I doubt there's anybody else on the planet that I would trust this much. Y'know that whole thing that your SO should be your best friend, lover, support, etc. etc? I can say that she is this and more. I've laid myself down flat and so has she. And I've accepted her totally and I'm pretty sure she has done the same.

I'm pretty sure this is gonna embarass the hell out of her so it's pretty much the only reason why I haven't dropped a name. But I know she'll comment and people that know me know who I'm talking about so it's a moot point. It's also why this is public. I don't care who knows! Yeah, I'm that lost. :P

Hell, I'm smiling as I write this. :P And to the person that I'm talking about, I want you to know this: Even if I say it a million times, even if I say it a few times a week, even if I hardly say it, even if I sign language I will *always* show you how I feel in some way or the other. It's just how I work. But you already know this. Love ya bunches, babe. :P

So, yeah, I just had to get that out my head. It's still in there, but now I've shared it. :P And to those of ya'll out there, even if I hardly talk to you anymore, unless you've been an asshole, I hope your life turns out well no matter what. I'm an optimist, it's what I do.

Love, peace, sushi and fried shrimp ya'll!
