looks like someones trying to take the title of double post champion from you @adlp

ah alright that makes alot of sense, do you know of any other scenarios where this could be applied as well?

So I've been trying to get the rest out of upthrow upair against fox or downthrow knee against falcon and I can't seem to figure out how this works. I've tried frame advance and it seems like (rest out of up throw up air) doesn't work at 0%, so I'm wondering if anyone knows the percentages that...

Old games can be important because fundamentals are usually more obvious (spacing, priority, ect.) And as you watch you can see how new strategies were developed to counter older strategies. This is good for two reasons: 1- it teaches you how to punish unsafe moves someone at your level might...

@Thor your post can be summed up with 'a character that is bad in this meta is worse then a character that is good in this meta'. Congratulations on figuring that out. When this game first came out I had a friend who loved Kirby, choose him as his main and got first or second at every tourney he...

Meta level discussion on the concept of balance in videogames, with a side of people bashing their heads into brick walls. So the same as most threads on smash boards.

@Thor if I understand your post you are listing BW as an example of a well balanced game even though, for years people thought that TvZ was a 100% m/u for terran, people cried for blizzard to do something because, even though more pro players played zerg then any other race their results were...

Fine if you want to ignore my points and assert the same thing you have asserted over and over there is no more point to this discussion.

Please stop grouping the entire melee community into your judgement of the "vocal minority". My control over what fans of melee say about other games is about the same as my control over the politics in my country, just as you are not going to be able to get negative Brawlers to stop spouting...

And the saying "An eye for an eye makes everyone blind" seems fitting here (also I feel bad for all these stupid +1 posts I'm making, but I can't think of a better way to go about this)

The phrase "It takes two to tango" feels EXTREMELY fitting right now

yes, it's a game both casuals and competitive players love to play in its current state. What more could you hope to achieve? We already have a game (PM) that is constantly updated for balance so a niche for people like you has been filled meanwhile people who want a game that they can explore...

You completely missed my point, when people feel as though they are at a disadvantage they don't whimper and pout and cry about how unfair the game is, instead they look deep into the game for mechanics they can exploit to bring their character up to snuff with the meta of the game, for example...

Yeah these sentences sum up this thread pretty well

I would agree that it is a small portion of the brawl community that hates on melee just as it's a small portion of the melee community that hates on brawl, smash 4, ect. Don't let a small but vocal portion of the community cloud your vision of the people you will actually meet playing either...
