The big nerf to dashing in Brawl is not being able to shield in the initial dash animation, that alone is a huge nerf to running. Adding tripping was just stupid.

Money is the measure of strength. Brawl killed Melee. Back to the OP, a game is not art. If I said Street Fighter 2 is a great game, many people who have played it and other fighting games will agree. Over 15 years, SF2 has lived and stays strong. Why? It is so simple to pick up, and yet it...

I seriously do not understand why tripping is in this game. If they wanted the game to be random and fun (That was Sakurai's reasoning behind tripping, a "system of accidents" that would ensure that all players have a good time.), they should have made the game so that if you play random and...

Eggm, I might have exxagerated a bit, but still I believe that Brawl is gonna phase out Melee. It's popular appeal is way too great. There is going to be more money in Brawl (More players, more money), and the Melee tournaments are gonna get smaller and smaller over time until it is just the...

Falcon and Ganon are both very bad in Brawl. They were good in Melee, I wish they just made the game Melee 1.1 (rebalance) instead of a New game, which came out to be absolutely boring. So funny, they call this game a party game. I find party games boring. I don't consider amusing effects to be...

If you are big on tournaments, face it Melee has died. It is the Halo syndrome, the sequel comes out and the old one dies. Why? Because the base is popular base, not hardcore base. Games like MvC2, CvS2, SF3, SF2T have been out for a long time, and I do not see their death in the foreseeable...

In Melee, if you predicted what another person was going to do, such as roll, block, attack, etc., it was very easy to counter, using techniques such as wavedashing (Wavedashing, and Dashdancing is more than enough tools to space and catch people with). Now in Brawl, it is almost impossible...

How can you be right about anything, if all you said were questions (and a sentence fragment)? Also, why would you even try to joke around making your state look like a bunch of scrubs.

He is saying you should quit [Smash], because it is obvious you do not and will not have the desire to win at this or any other competitive interaction amongst humans.

I'm The Juggernaut Beach. Who does not know how Ken plays say I.

DD is for spacing. If you want your friend to learn how to use it, own him with it.

As a character (as in story character), he is good. In-game, depends on the game you're talking about.. SF3:3S I'd say I'm tourney level (or near) and I recognize that Akuma is only mid-tier but I've seen him own others hard in tourney. Now if you're talking about CVS2 (Which in my opinion is...

Akuma/Gouki Many Fighting Games Many Systems

If they're going to put one of the most famous video game antagonists in a game, they better make him near unbeatable. Oh wait, this game is rated E.

Would you buy or like the idea of a Gamecube controller made with Wii-style coloring and plastic? (White with light blue accents, Smooth glossy plastic, Clear A Button, Wii style analog stick) In my opinion, I think it is something Nintendo should have came out with on launch as a traditional...
