I came across an idea that (unfortunately) was inspired by my friend's game, Halo 2.
When you connect to Xbox Live, you can find a match of up to eight people in an area you choose, as well as the game modes.
This got me thinking: could this work on the Wii with SSBB?
Think: you've been to SSBM parties, but you always have to face noobs with their item blitzes. You prefer to stay away from items, and duke it out with just what you get with your character.
Not anymore: the Wi-Fi capabilities allow you to choose the settiings you want on the matchup. No weapons? Sure. Halberd Hangar? It's yours.
The system would then search every Wii player that wants to do the same matchup, and then connect you. Once the selected number of players have been accumulated: 3...2...1... GO!
What do you guys make of this idea?
That would be awesome, because as fun as it will be for awhile beating item-loving n00bs will get boring and I'll end up retiring from online SSBB earlier than I thought. I seriously hope that battle matching is in this game, I want to be able to fight those at my level... not those far below it.
items were fun when you started out but now their useless to me.
Nothing beats Halo 2 online matchmaking. That's why everyone and their grandma play Halo 2 online, that is if you are anyone anyways, because if you aren't and haven't then you don't even need to talk to me, loser.
me and Poet can not chat anymore.....
lol
srly I do like the idea though
Good idea. NO MORE NOOBS yay!

NO, I like pwning them.
you don't like a challenge? i am tired of pwning noobs so i want someone harder!
Occasional n00b match ups are fine, because no doubt that'll happen... but they'll learn their place pretty damn fast.
Hmm... If we're going online then I'd like to see 8 character matchups. Fighting seven other people sounds fun. =) Also this battle matching sounds so good that it should be a necessity.
Seven other people at once? That might be hard... since I heard they were having trouble with getting four players to work well on WiFi...
I think it'd be cool cause I've got a feeling I get raped by somebody using Roy otherwise.
yeah. being raped doesn't sound fun.
there are a LOT of battle options in SSB. time/stock, which items are on, handicap, damage amount, etc. i'm not sure it'd be so easy to find another game with all those choices
It might just come up with the closest match in that sort of scenario... or you could search for games with one specific option like no items, "x" amount of stock or "x" amount of time.
possibly. nintendo IS trying to simplify everything. other games on XBL just have a game judge or whatever they're called who makes all the rules. if ya don't like em, find another game maker or make your own
I'm sure there will be options like Quick Match and Custom Match.
i definitely hope that choosing your matches is in SSBB. i hate pwning noobs! it is so ez!!!
so yes, i would rather pwn advanced players than noobs
at least put in the option of no weapons nintendo!

There will probably even be Ranked matches and Unranked matches.
Mmmmm ranked matches... now thats a dream, a WiiLoaded power rankings, there'll be one when the game is released, but the easier it is to create the better.
That sound similar to how SFC on the DS is... the battle royal is ranked whereas Free battles arent... that can solve the issue for Pro Smashers who perfect the WD's LC's ect... and smashers who just like the to play.. with items and such....
