replies: text:  Okay, so far we have three usable sources that say "action" (Metacritic, Mobygames, and the DOJO!) and five that say fighting (IGN, Gamespot, Mobygames, Metacritic, and Nintendo).  Just because the DOJO! says it's action doesn't mean anything because Nintendo contradicts the DOJO! in this circumstance.  In all honesty, I can see us stating the genre as "Fighting/Action" legitimately given that both share two sources and the game's official classification differs (the game's site says "action"; Nintendo says "fighting"). -Jéské  (v^_^v Call me Mr. Bonaparte!) 19:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm surprised there isn't anything in the article or even the discussion about the major, major issues with the online play. I was a tournament player in the original and melee, but I and several of my fellow tourney friends quit playing Brawl early on due to the horrible lag in online play. With the fastest of all connections, you will often experience lag that makes the game totally unplayable, not to mention excessively long wait times in between matches even during prime time during the height of the game's popularity. I know that for me, personally, and many of my friends, the lag issues are what made the game a big bomb in spite of it being a great game in every other respect.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.184.167.3 (talk) 20:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: For those who don't know, Brawl+ is currently an (incomplete) hacked version of Smash Bros. Brawl created by members of the Smash World Forums, with the intent to make the game more balanced and tournament viable. The FAQ is available here.
Now, in any other case I would not consider a hacked version of a game relevant enough to be mentioned in the article, but it's different in this case: Brawl+ has apparently (as in, according to the FAQ, I haven't had the time to go search around Google) been used in multiple tournaments so far. If this is true, I think that the Brawl+ hack is relevant enough to be mentioned somewhere in this article, since, if the BrawlPlusery get their way, Brawl+ may become the tournament standard, replacing normal Brawl.

replies: text: It's kind of pointless do say this on a Wikipedia talk page, but what the hell, I'm a nerd. I disagree that the gameplay is worse than Melee's, but even if it is I don't see how Nintendo 'went overboard'. Hardcore gamers tend to see themselves as the 'core' gaming community, when they're really not; they're the fringe, and the amazing sales for games like Wii Fit really show that. Nintendo is in the business of making money, and they're making gaming mainstream in the process; as a 'hardcore' gamer who's tired of people going all 'oh wow you game all day get a life blah blah blah' I'm happy with the games they're putting out.

You can choose between Shiek and Zelda freely, you can choose between the pokemon freely, and you can choose between Samus/ZSS by holding a button, and there is nothing forcing you to play all transformations of those characters in a match. They are not the same character. Characters shouldn't be omitted from this number simply because other characters can change into them. They are still separate characters. [b]ALL[/b] smash fansites and forums list all 39 characters separately in any kind of list, whether it be a tier list, a moveset/hitbox list, or whatever.

*removed obsolete fields
*removed composers (almost 40 of them, way too many to list in the infobox)
*developer really only makes sense if there is a name for the development team, but I kept it for now and linked to the "Development" section
*added producers and artists
*added Sakurai as co-writer for the adventure mode (mentioned in Iwata Asks)
*media -> distribution (non-ambiguous media format)

thread_title: Overhaul

message: In the article it says that Young Link has been removed but shouldn't it be mentioned that Toon Link has been added instead ,as he is another type of Link from the Legend of Zelda series, just like Young Link was, just back when Super Smash Bros. Melee was released Harryj2198 (talk) 17:37, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Why "instead"? Is there a source somewhere that says that Toon Link was meant to replace Young Link? The sentence just says that YL is gone along with some other characters, and that's all it needs to say. The Stick Man (talk) 17:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It probably isn't instead but Toon Link is definitely similar to Young Link. Young Link is quicker and faster with some of his moves than link [ref:http://uk.guides.ign.com/guides/16387/page_21.html],not unlike how Toon link is different to Link in Brawl. [ref:http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/hidden11.html]Brawl represents characters from their latest versions and this is why Toon link was used to represent the Link from Phantom Hourglass, and young link was not used as three links would have been excessive.

replies: text: It is unnecessary to mention. Only the main new characters are mentioned. You don't see it saying that Lucario replaced Mewtwo. It doesn't need to say that Toon Link replaced Young Link. Blake (Talk·Edits) 19:30, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Smash Dojo is no more 

message: With the exception of that last sentence about mod-stacking and Brawl+/-/Balanced, everything in the first paragraph of the modding section can be explained using the Wired source found under the Project M section. You're not going to find any significant coverage about the other non-Project M mods on reliable sites; believe me, I've looked. Therefore, I propose we omit the last sentence entirely and use that Wired link as the source for Modding's opening paragraph, getting rid of the last remaining citation request on the page.

That said, the Modding paragraph and "The mod has received praise from many reviewers and fans, with the "Version 3.0" demo having received over 300,000 downloads as of February 2014." now both source the same page, so we should probably make one of the two a named citation so we can cut back on redundant linking. -- 69.136.149.237 (talk) 19:34, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Add the following passage under "Inclusion of Characters":
During Brawl's development, Sakurai briefly considered adding Miis as playable characters. However, due to concerns about the Miis' lighter tone not meshing with that of Brawl or potential associations with bullying, he ultimately decided against it. Miis would later be integrated into the series as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
