The only reason I would need a strategy guide is to find out how to unlock characters, and I have the internet for that.

Well I'm a meh Smash player and I would rather pull out a book for my strategies than go on Gamefaqs.

Plus I like to read them.

And it usually has good art  in the guides, too.

Whenever it's a big game like Brawl, I always not only get the guide, I get the special hardcover edition. :D

Strategies? Gamefaqs is better, as you get multiple, more informed opinions. Nintendo said caping was frowned upon, I don't think they are very trustworthy.

I don't waste money on stuff like that. My strategy will fall in to place as I see the character moves and get the feel of the characters.

This one is made by Prima.

Always buy Prima guides, not Nintendo Players Guides.

They tell you stuff like wavedashing, black hole glitch, etc.

I just like reading them, OK?

I can decipher what to do by reading.

And how do you know what's in the guide? You didn't make it.

NO ITS NOT OK

I said the melee prima guide didn't have anything in it worthwhile, not to mention most of the advanced techs won't be discovered until slightly after the release of the game.

I'm just proving my point that they are useless and a waste of money, not that you shouldn't get it if you really need that much help.

What's the point of using all three of them? You should only need two. Youtube, and depending on how much money you have and your actual interest in smash, the guide or the internet. Besides, the guide only has strategies for computers, not actual people.

Yes, the internet.  But, unlike you people I like to surprised so I'm not looking at the guide or going on the internet.  I predict I will be saying "Holy #$%&!" every time I see Warning !  New Challenger Aproaching!!!!   :) I can't wait.  It's it's 48 days away right?

I wonder how long it'll take to unlock everything without a guide or the internet.  Oh well.  It'll be alot more fun then reading something and spoiling yourself with surprises.

Nintendo currently does not make any guides, though Prima is currently their official guide producer/supplier.
