So a little off topic from this specific tournament...but does anybody know where I can go to get information on some official Brawl tournaments? I've never really faced too many other serious players, so I have no idea how I'd stack up or like how I'd rank in a tournament. Do they have pretty regular tournaments for Brawl? I've heard it hasn't been as popular on the tournament level as Melee was, but I'm guessing they still happen at least once in a while. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, and let's get our little tourney rollin!

Thanks for the Planet Elder Scrolls link, Pat! Read up on a lot of good ones I think will make the game just that much more enjoyable...

but for real these are nice...if only I weren't investing my life into another Bethesda product in just 6 days...

So I'm thinking this is gonna be just a rental for me...too many other better games coming out soon

Haha holy hell...he got lucky at the end cuz one of the Pikmin rolled around an edge and took out 2 targets

Damn! I can't download the demo yet with my stupid Silver account. It's for the Elite High Roller Goldies only...

I have to say, this electronic game has captivated me in ways that have not been done since I first laid eyes of a moving picture, questioning, "How is that possible, Momma? How do the people move inside the screen?". I remember that moment vividly, my mother put her hand through my flowing blonde hair and chuckled. In the years to come I would of course come to learn the truth of motion video and how it works, but at that time it was magical.

On the subject of this "Star Wars" game, I enjoyed the style with which the "power-ups" were portrayed. Colorful pyramids, floating in nothingness. It makes one start to believe that they are not physical objects at all, but delusions portrayed in the mind of the protagonist. By reaching something that was before a mental or emotional block, the character portrayed may, for a limited time, surpass what they are normally capable of. Using a fictional setting like the "Star Wars" universe to tell players of this hidden potential within all of us is obviously the work of a genius not seen since the days of Einstein and Edison.

You're an ass...

But anyways...I've been hearing conflicting statements all over the internet, especially on the Joystiq/Kotaku threads. Stuff like the targeting system and how the Force bar is affecting game play. The lightsabers are like baseball bats. This board seems to be more positive...So I'm pumped to try it out for myself. One question: How does the toned down violence affect your guys' immersion? I'm still worried about what it's going to feel like the first time I hack some guy with my saber...

Robots, is that wheels on your creature?? That's awesome!

The more I use the CC, the more I love it. Can't wait to try out my dudes in the game...I haven't done a lot of research so I'm sorry if this is well known, but is the CC pretty much what they're planning on putting in the game? Or do they have a lot more features that just aren't in the CC? I bought the full version, btw...

And two gripes I have about it (even though it's my favorite "game" right now):

1. It's near impossible to make humanoid creatures. Sure, you can have a bipedal with two arms, but nothing that closely resembles a person. I think the problem arises from the head part of the creature, where instead of a skull all you have is an inflated vertebrae. I'm the last person who wants to see the Spore universe spammed full of "variations on the theme of human," but I really want to create a realistic Zombie race.
2. On the opposite end of the spectrum from zombies, I also find it nigh impossible to make cuddly, cutesy animals, or as somebody else put it, your standard woodland creature. There's not enough mammalian parts and textures in the program to make a star-faring race of kittens.

I know a lot of people have been saying you can achieve a lot of things by fiddling around with what's given to you, but I think it would be more fun if they gave you some more parts (i.e. a skull, fur textures, kitty whiskers, a human mouth that doesn't protrude) instead of forcing you to mess around to achieve the same effect. I think the fun in the game comes from being able to make whatever you want, not messing around with body parts that are completely different and coming up with something that vaguely resembles what you wanted.

But definitely will be logging in many an hour on the CC for the next few weeks...
