So what was it like getting a hold of the game?  Did you have trouble finding a copy?  Were there lines?  Did you need to reserve it to get one?  We want to know.. :)

I saw a gaggle of seven kids playing it in the student lounge of one of my buildings. They seemed content. It looked identical to Melee as far as I could tell.

It's fun I hate the wii mote though, gotta use that gamecube controller.

I was hoping to have had it yesterday, but my reservation came in today. I guess I'm going to be playing that a whole bunch tonight with the insane amount of content they crammed onto that disc.

No reservation went into VGX, a local video game store and walked out with SSBB. Last one in the box. Happy Days.

Had it pre-ordered.  Didn't feel like standing in the line so waited a couple of hours after they opened to go pick it up.  Played it for a while, decided it was a letdown and spent the rest of the night playing the 360.  For a long time this and NMH were the only two Wii games I had any interest in and both have been letdowns.  Now there is also TOS2 so hopefully that will at least deliver.  But at the end of the day VC has and always will be my main use for the Wii and with the 360, PS3 and PC I am well covered for new games.

This isn't nearly as much of a letdown as NMH ended up being though and it isn't that I hate it.  It is just sloppy between the online problems people are having and certain control issues.  Especially with the classic controller.  When people have complained about the thumbstick on that for VC games since launch why would they decide not letting you change the movement to the D-Pad would be a good idea?  That thumbstick is far too sensitive.  But like I said it isn't that I hate it and it is still one of my favorite Wii games.

And at least I can play it unlike some people...

I read about those problems, I'm really starting to hate how much the devolpers "miss".
There are major problems with several games, I just hope MGS4 won't have any major problems, they have been working on the small stuff for some time now, I can only hope :)

The online is a bit messed up but nothing that can't be fixed. I don't see the game as a let down at all. People wanted the same game new characters and for it to be a little buffed up and that's what they got.

I can't even see using the classic controller as an option. Doesn't make sense given its layout. The gamecube controller works really well and it almost seems as if the game was built around it to begin with.

No Wavedashing :-( must piss off the pros.
