Topic: Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Easy or Hard?

It's pretty easy. The only thing upping the difficulty to the max does is jack up the cheap shots.

Even level 9 enemies seem to follow a fairly set pattern, so I don't find them that hard, but I'd say most games are more difficult against a decent human than CPU.

Well, this depends. What sort of battle are you talking about? If it's one vs. one, then the level nine CPU provides an ample challenge, but can be dispatched easily with enough practice. What I like to do is take some of the hardest characters (Fox, Falco, Capt, Falc., etc.) and put three of them at level nine. Then I put it on team battle and make sure they're all against me. That's how I train, or....how I used to train when I was actually good at this game. =P

Lv.9 never gave me a problem. Lv.8 sometimes surprise me since they don't spam like the lv.9 tend to do but still no problem. I think they should've been harder then they are now, it gets boring winning all the time.

Levels 1-7 range from very easy to an OK opponent. Although 8+9 can be frustrating, they are doable. I've stopped playing recently, so this represents my skills back a couple months back.

Lv. 9s are easily beat-upable, although I've yet to beat up 2 on a team.

You know, it's weird. Brawl Lv. 9s used to be extremely easy for me, but lately it's almost like they know exactly what I'm gonna do. I have to adapt way more drastically to their new knowledge of my fighting style.

If you find a good character to play as(for me it`s Lucario), you will dominate. However, the boss battle mode is VERY challenging. I`m trying to beat it with fox and falco to get wolf. Anyone know another way to unlock wolf BESIDES boss battle mode?

Well, it depends. When I fought three level 9 meta knights on a team against me as king dedede, it was pretty hard. Intense SSE and Boss rush was hard also. The rest was fairly easy.

Lv9 CPU in Brawl is really tough, but Boss Battles on Intense is harder. Although I managed to beat Boss Battles on Intense and I've yet to beat a team of two or three Lv9 CPUs. Then again, I didn't spend several hours straight trying to beat 2/3 Lv9 CPUs, which I did for Intense Boss Battles.

Also here's something amusing to try - make a stage with a really high platform that a character such as Kirby can reach but many other characters can't. Set the 3 Lv9 CPUs to any character that cannot reach the platform, and jump up there yourself as Kirby. Watch the CPUs wander back and forth without actually fighting each other, even though you're not in a Team Battle. CHEATERS o3o
_{'Tis funny though}

That reminds me, Raylax, of one thing about the game that completely sucks. The computers naturally follow you and attack you, which is stupid. If there are 4 players [1 human, three computers] and a computer gets a dragoon, it will automatically aim at the human. It really sucks.
