I meant from 3.5 -> 3.6. I don't know if that changes anything. My impression was they both got slightly nerfed, but I would love to be wrong about that.

Dedede and Roy seem worse.

So, why did they nerf so many characters that weren't even that good? I don't get it.

Exactly. The only reason Smash 4 even has a chance to be at Evo now or in the future is the work and dedication of the Melee community to re-establish Melee as a tournament powerhouse and put smash in general back on the map. It has nothing to do with the other games or the series in general...

A game doesn't maintain a community for 13 years without being extremely good. The Smash tournament scene almost completely died because of Brawl but in 2015 Smash is going to be represented at Evo because of Melee. Not because of Smash 64 or Brawl or the unreleased Smash 4. Smash hasn't...

Evo is not the right place for Smash 4 to get the exposure you want. It could be a negative thing for the game and the smash community in general to put it on display in that kind of environment. It took years for the fighting game community to even come around on Melee. I think some of you have...

Well, I just wanted to point out that you don't have to be good and definitely not good enough to do well in tournaments to care more about the competitive aspects of the game. I haven't gone to tournaments in a long time and I'm by no means a pro smasher or anything but I still play Smash...

I may not be explaining myself well but that isn't what I am saying. It doesn't have to be just like Melee to be good. If you are going to say it is a mix between Brawl and Melee I would say it is like 95% Brawl and 5% Melee. Many of us just dont want a super slow and floaty game. The only...

This perfectly exhibits how it is possible for Nintendo to cater to all aspects of the community. Melee and Project M are so different than Brawl and are chock full of things that make the competitive community love them and yet even the people who don't care about that stuff still love them...

You make some good points. I am actually quite surprised that the relationship between Nintendo and the Project M team hasn't been an issue. Given Nintendo's track record with things of this nature and how they've dealt with the competitive community in the past I am surprised they haven't shut...

I think they need to increase gravity, speed, hitstun, and shield stun even more. That would be a very good start. My main problem was just that the game looked extremely slow and boring like Brawl. Brawl actually did have some competitive value even though it wasn't nearly as technical as...

Well, that is probably enough for me tonight. Thanks to everyone who joined in on the discussion. I haven't posted on SWF for a while and I'm glad that the discussion stayed quite civil and even when people strongly disagreed nothing even remotely resembling a flame war broke out. I was around...

Because there are some people that just hate change or anything that is different than what they are used to and are going to overreact to any differences. Or, like I said in my other post, they just prefer the things about Melee that make it different from Project M. There are always going to...

Fair enough.

It is a very simple explanation. Melee and Project M aren't the same game and some people enjoy Melee more and are satisfied enough with it that they don't want to play Project M. There really aren't that many people who like Melee who are just straight up against Project M and don't think...
