Npd Group: Smash Bros. Dojos Past The Competition To Take #1 Spot In March

[Evastio]

That's really awesome.

Any news about it surpassing Halo 3?

[Rase]

According to VGChartz Brawl's total is 4.10 million, while Halo 3 is at 7.59 million. I dunno about their reliability though, so yeah.

[Evastio]

Those were some awesome matches ljkkjlcm9 and Leen-Leen.

I hope my repetitive grabbing tactics didn't get too annoying. Hopefully I'll be able to face the rest of you eventually. Maybe we could even have that 3 on 1 match with me versing Sonic, Snake, and Toon Link.

Wait, why am I happy about it? I'll probably lose that match.

Then again, they don't annoy me as much as they used to. Probably because I've gotten used to them.

According to VGChartz Brawl's total is 4.10 million, while Halo 3 is at 7.59 million. I dunno about their reliability though, so yeah.

Oh well. Hopefully it'll surpass Halo 3 around the time it comes out in Europe. :rolleyes2

Smash bros hasn't been out nearly as long as Halo 3... and we're sad it hasn't passed it yet?

your grabbing got very predictable towards the end. I'd actually use my shield to bait you into trying to grab me.

[.:kerrod:.]

aaaaaargh...all of this multiplayer talk is making me antsy, i want it noooow (don't care how, i want it now! i want the woooorld, i want the WHOLE world....charlie and the chocolate factory? anybody? *cough*) how much longer must i wait?!

and come on people, who cares about sales? some of the best games ever have only sold a few hundred/thousand copies, it doesn't mean the games any less enjoyable

[ljkkjlcm9]

well Smash bros sold systems too

March 2008 U.S. Hardware Sales
Wii – 721k
Nintendo DS – 698k
PlayStation Portable – 297k
Xbox 360 – 262k
PlayStation 3 – 257k
PlayStation 2 – 216k

and it's kinda funny how the PS2 outsells the 360 and the PS3

2008 Year-to-Date U.S. Hardware Sales
Nintendo DS – 1559.6k
Wii – 1404k
PlayStation 2 – 831.8k
PlayStation 3 – 806.8k
PlayStation Portable – 770.1k
Xbox 360 – 746.6k

and if the PS2 keeps at that, it'll stay the number 1 selling system for awhile

Approximate Lifetime-to-Date U.S. Hardware Sales
PlayStation 2 – 41.9 million
Nintendo DS – 19.1 million
PlayStation Portable – 11.3 million
Xbox 360 – 9.9 million
Wii – 8.8 million
PlayStation 3 – 4.1 million

but basically my point of these stats was to point out how much bigger Nintendo is getting. And 2.7 mil copies of Brawl is nearly 1/3 of the US market of Wii systems.

I don't see how you can say Brawl sold Wiis when Wiis have been consistently sold out since launch.

No wonder my grabs kept missing.

I guess you guys are right. Still, it's kind of strange to see Microsoft's best console game (Halo 3) surpassing Nintendo's best console game (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) when Nintendo has been in the console gaming industry a lot longer than Microsoft.

I remember Ultima Shadow saying that it's one more month for Europe. I can't completely confirm that though.

[ljkkjlcm9]

I don't see how you can say Brawl sold Wiis when Wiis have been consistently sold out since launch.

Because I personally know friends that went out and bought a Wii for Brawl right after it was released.

[Roto13]

Your own personal anecdotal evidence doesn't mean anything.

There are probably a ton of people who bought a Wii for Brawl, but you can't just guess it's true and then post a bunch of numbers that are consistent with what the Wii has been doing since launch and call it proof.

[Evastio]

I just randomly got the idea to make a song about the Subspace Emissary:

(it's basically a spoof of the Zaboomafoo song)

While fighting in the stadium one day
Mario and Kirby saw something strange
A gigantic halberd that liked to shoot out shadow bugs
They followed this weird flying ship
That had Meta Knight mask at its tip
The Smash Brothers were headed just around the bend
Where're they going? I don't know
How do we get there? Come on let's go!
Me and you and Tabuu!
Coming along to see what's new
We're doing the things that Smash Brothers do
New Smash Brother friends to see
"This World" is the place to be!
Mario and Pit fighting Primids by the bunch
Captain Falcon striking ROB with a Falcon Punch!
Me and you and Tabuu!
Coming along to see what's new
We're doing the things that Smash Brothers do
Me and you and Tabuu!
Coming along to see what's new
In "This World" we're waiting for you!

o_O

Woahness.

i want to read that song (no matter how crappy i know it will be ) but i don't want to ruin ALL of the surprises, i already know the characters and the stages, but i'll leave the 'story' (notice the inverted commas ) a secret to me...i already ruined part of it by accidentally finding out about Pokey as a boss but ah well...

as for the release date, most gaming sites say about June, but if it was scheduled for a June release surely there would be a concrete date, seeing as it's already May...I'm going to say i'll be waiting at least 2 or 3 more months, but i REALLY hope not

EDIT: i want you to load this video, then go to 4:10 and tell me what Zero Suit Samus does:

YouTube - Smash Bros Brawl COMPREHENSIVE Moveset - Samus & Zero Suit

now people told me that her third jump was her whip (which goes to the nearest stage side, like her grapple, if it will reach), which could explain that part in the video, however, she appears to do a third jump, as she flashes when she's doing it (a typical 'up+b' trait) and THEN grapples to the edge...i was just wondering if she was one of those few who could still attack after the up+b attack (mr. game and watch is the only one i've heard of who can do this) and then uses her grapple to recover. Could somebody clear this up for me?
Summary :
1. Is Zamus' up+b a third jump or a whip-to-stage move?
2. Can she attack after her up+b jump (like Game & Watch)?
