Official Super Smash Bros. Brawl Thread (OUT NOW!)

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

I Just wanted to confirm something here. I was planning to copy my Smash Bros save file to an SD card. My girlfriend hasn't really bothered to unlock anything yet so I was going to bring over my save file so we could play. Nope. Think again. "This file cannot be copied" it told me. Every other game save works, but not Smash. I have to bring my whole Wii over to play a fucking game.
Why is that you think?

Probably has something to do with the level of challenge involved with the unlockables.

Hal Labs and Nintendo want people to EARN their unlockables, especially now that those items are reflected in an online multiplayer environment.

This isn't the first time a game with hundreds of unlockable characters, pictures, songs, etc. has copy-protection on the save file.

One example that comes to mind - all three of the TimeSplitters games block memory card save-transfer or copy, and all of those games have a wicked-large list of skill-based unlockables.
