Today we get right into the meat of things and feature the simple, yet highly dynamic online capabilities of Nintendo's highly anticipated brawler Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

Previously, we've seen how the Spectator mode can help you pick up some useful fighting tips from players brawling all over the world. Now, you can get right into the heat of the action by taking on anyone through the Basic Brawl mode available in the game.

Looking for a match through Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection isn't as hard as you might think. After choosing the Basic Brawl mode, just choose a character and wait for the network to look for suitable match-ups for you - no need to make a room or wait in a messy lobby full of random people. Players are then free to cast a vote which stage they want to duke it out.

What's more, the developers from Sora Ltd. have added a very convenient feature to take care of opponents who get disconnected before the match starts. Instead of nixing the game because of your opponent's faulty connections, the CPU instead takes over any players who drop out before the fight. It definitely beats having to search for a new set of combatants all over again.

The only downside to this neat online multi-player mode is if one of your opponents chooses a character you haven't unlocked yet, you might get spoiled beforehand. As a friendly tip, the developers have suggested that you try finishing the game's Adventure Mode and unlock all the hidden characters before moving onto the Basic Brawl mode.

» Hidden Characters

From what I read on the Dojo site, none of the Unlockable Characters will be announced at all until after Brawl's release. Maybe the site's inactivity of character updates lately is all they have, and the rest are Unlockables. This is highly unlikely, of course, but you never know.

» Unlocking Characters

Actually, you'd do most of the character unlocks through the Subspace Emissary.

» Hmm...

There is certainly not enough room for all of the already announced characters..this selection screen was also shown at the Entertainment for all Expo So it either gets bigger in size or they will change it before release.....

» Are you kidding me?

No chat rooms, no headset? or are they just not telling us if they have these features yet.. Hell if they don't its like you're being randomly matched to a computer anyways...you cant even see the name of the person you're fighting!!! please don't say this is it because that is very shallow...
