Now, if you live in the US:

Well, I've obtained Brawl ten days after release, and I've been playing quite a bit. I'm like halfway through SSE, but I usually don't have enough time/ don't want to finish it, and my current cast of characters is good enough. The characters I usually play as are pikachu and lucario.

I was playing against someone only 50 something miles away from me, and the connection was crazy laggy, so I decided to static IP my wii and port forward stuff. I completely forgot that I needed to do that for optimal networking. I live in the east coast, but I can play people on the other side of the country with no problems, unless they have a bad connection on their end.

My friend code is 3351-3918-0457, so share them if you want to play every once in a while. I'm like the only person in my area who got the game so late.

Of course, that means you can say goodbye to game dev progress for a while.
