I've come to realize that I may have had an exaggerated opinion of my own Brawl prowess. Turns out that besting my wife and baby sister on regular basis means nothing once you start to brave the wilds of Nintendo WFC.
Competed in some "with anyone" matches last night and got spanked like a red-headed stepchild. Someone on there was controlling Mario like he was freakin' Goku or something. I call him ‘Teacher’ because he took my butt to school, man. Took down my Zero Suit Samus and Sonic game like I was standing still. Only barely managed to eke out a closer (but still losing) match as Peach. If not for the Smash Ball I wouldn't even have that. Anyone who think this game is nothing more than a button mashing party game does not know what they’re talking about.
Anyway, here's a suggestion: If any/all of us have a 360 or PS3 and don’t mind burning up some extra electricity, we might be able use either system's chat room functionality to make up for the lack of voice chat on the Wii. Because trash talking is half the fun, and taunts just don’t cut it. This idea might also help with facilitating the inevitable Compendium Brawl Tournament.
As for times, I'm a really weird one. Here goes:
Anytime between 0500-1300 UTC (or GMT if you prefer, its the same thing), on any given day. Since my work week rotates on a 4 on, 2 off basis, I don’t have a static set of days off. But try me at those times on any given day, you'll have a 2:7 chance of catching me.
Yeah, it blows. My job is awesome, but the hours suck balls.
