Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review, in haiku form
Monday, March 10th, 2008 at 1:46pm by Jack
The various Infendo staffers are each tackling a portion of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl review, so keep an eye out for that in the near future. In the meantime I thought I’d celebrate and review Brawl in my own slightly silly way: with a few haikus. What better way to balance out the chaotic button mashing of this fine title than with a handful of soothing, thought provoking 5-7-5 bits of prose?
Here’s my haiku on Brawl’s online play…
Online brawl is fun
But Subspace Emissary
Is a nice surprise
And then there’s my take on customizing your characters in Subspace Emissary…
Hey look! There’s stickers!
I put them on my circle
Pikachu, plus five
And as for the traditional “review” …
How are the graphics?
Sharp, 3D, among Wii’s best
But Friend Codes still blow
And this one just struck me recently, because there’s a saying going around about the Wii that is actually more of an insult to the person who says it than the console itself…
If Wii collects dust
It is not the console’s fault
You are just a slob
Try your own in the comments, and try to keep them to Brawl since this is a Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review, with haikus!

also, in your second to last haiku, your middle line is 8 syllables, not 7

Just nave to say this;
Haikus don’t work in English,
However, Brawl Rocks!!!

Did not pre-order,
The appeal was lost on me,
Now I feel left out.

I am European
I am also really pissed
Cant wait much more

Multiplayer rules.
Lag will go away in time.
Please stop complaining.
That last line is just cause I’m sick of seeing it posted all over the net. Of course it’s laggy, everyone and their mother is playing. The intertubes are clogged with gambling and Brawl. Duh.

Defined haiku wrong
You said they are “bits of prose”
They are poetry

Brawl stuck in my brain
Can’t concentrate at all now
Who needs work or life?!

Nice! I love it!
Zero Suit Samus,
She is so the awesomeness.
Stuns you with her gun.
I really do love her. I find it unbearable playing as ordinary Samus, in fact (though at least Samus isn’t as crappy here as she was in Melee).

Luigi Missile!
