Helps if you put up your friend code for Charged.
Yep ... same is happening to me over here ... friend code is 313639340463 ... anyone up for a game or two? Let me know here, so I can enter your code in as well.
/e.
We should have a tournament on this. I've eaten all my opponents alive so far (Chibianh and Ed H

So yeah, my friend picked this up yesterday for a going-away party for my other close friend.
We played it non-stop from around 11:00 until 4:00 in the morning. It is probably the most sheer, ridiculous fun I can remember having in years. Fantastic game.

I think the items and strikes are hilarious. If your team is properly balanced then your opponents shouldn't get off a megastrike more than once a game - it just takes a long time.
I've heard some people complain that the game seems random, but it's really anything but. You have to balance ball possession with the risk of fouling your opponents and giving them items, etc. There's skill to it.
I was holding out on this game.... The last incarnation didn't look that interesting, and this one wasn't really getting my interest, either. However, all these recommendations, and all these MR folks playing has really gotten me considering it!
Better multiplayer than SSBM? That's hard to believe, but it's that the kind of talk that gets me interested. And an online Wii title at that!

Did I ever play MK DS against you, Praxis? I played a few people on the board, but match races just weren't enough to keep me interested. If they would have thrown in GP and battlemode, now that would have kept me hooked.

if you have friends with roughly equal skill it is better... luckily me and my friends all are very close in skill and thus every game gets heart wrecking exciting
overall i would say that the playing field is more equal compared to smash brothers
and if you get too many super strikes incoming then you should reconsider your team and go for a more defensive one .. i perhaps get 1-2 with rather low amount of balls and get perhaps to shot 1-2
but we also had games with not a single super strike
Maybe we don't know how to play it properly yet, but in our games the only time you get a super strike is by being either Mario or Luigi and using that giant mushroom item. It has never happened otherwise. The captain is always tackled before that bar pops up.
well all special attacks are valuable: with walugi you can form a box with his special attack so that nobody can tackle you
also of course the star can also be a life saver
without items, etc it's hard but still possible if the enemy is too confident or makes some error
It's a matter of cover. Generally (we were playing 2v2) you have your teammate bite the bullet by hitting any players that might be nearby, giving you just enough time to get off a megastrike - this was typically how it worked when we used Daisy and Waluigi. It becomes a balance between giving the other team items and getting the points.
Hammer Bros.' special strike is absolute money, though. My goodness.
And yeah, the game can get nail-bitingly, hysterically intense with two well-matched teams. One match we spent 7 minutes (!) in sudden death before one of us managed to eke out a point. It was fantastic.
For us it was Hammer and Dry Bones, although Boo is great as well. I also dig Shy Guy because his run animation is hysterical.
ever tried to jump over the golie with toad and walk into the goal? if you can pull that off in sudden death at a party it's all the rage i promise you that
that said i prefer birdo + boohoo in offense since birdo is somehow feeling faster than hammer bros to me (which is of course all mind tricks)
Jimmi, if nobody's getting Megastrikes, how about you try playing against me and see what happens?
My team is:
1) Toad
Fast, short range hitter; he can jump over the goalie if perfectly timed. If the opponent's defense is too good to get in a charge shot I just have toad run for it. He's also my primary defense since he's fast enough to catch anyone.
2) Birdo
Long range hitter; Birdo's charge move can score a goal from the center of the stage, if no one is in the way. I usually do my best to knock down everyone and give Birdo a free shot.
3) Hammer Bros.
Best defense, and medium range; if you get just the right distance from the goalie, you can score every time you get a charge shot as your hammers knock him out while you kick the ball in. And his defensive attack is KILLER. The sheer amount of mayhem it causes sometimes causes people to get scared and back off, giving you a second to charge.
I use Peach for speed.
Also, Waluigi has a very cheap way of pulling off megastrikes. You can use Waluigi Wall to put a wall around you and start charging within that wall.
