A lot of games are competitively viable (even world of tanks is to a degree..) But in your opinion (or anyone who responds to this post..) will it be more fun to play competitively than previous incarnations of smash, and do you think it will it be the most exciting smash to watch? I ask...

I'd say a lot of of competitive games retain their mechanics, quake has retained strafe jumpin and its movement for basically ever, CS removed a lot of mechanics in CSS, and people got furious and CS:GO brought them back. Sc2 brought back a lot of the core, AoE II and the newer AoE II have most...

Crouch canceling doesn't seem to work. Do people in general like the removal of crouch canceling? I personally like crouch canceling and aren't super excited for its removal, it's not a hard tech move or anything.

I guess it's bad to be that definitive about the final product. But even if she said that in the game's current incarnation it seems hopeless she'd probably get hate. I got to play the game a bit more today, and i'd say it can probably work, just hit lag is obnoxious on some of the old moves...

It's basically a beta build so everything should be taken with a grain of salt. But the game is slow in that aggressive approaches simply are way way riskier than sitting around and playing the zoning game, and it's a pain in the rear for characters who aren't strong in the zoning game.

I got to play a few matches (and if the game plays different in a future game version this post is invalid) But really the only approaches are basically dashes straight at the guy, and jumping into the air and attempting something (whether it be a dair or w/e) and that has some pretty bad...

I think the two aren't completely comparable.. Melee had developed a super popular community before the drop from MLG and while smash 64 was still pretty popular, compared to melee it isn't like "lets retreat to smash 64" was exactly a valid option. With brawl the option to retreat into ssbm or...

I think it would be fun as just a game mode to play (like turbo mode or w/e) I don't think the OP meant for it to become the next tournament thing or w/e. Since we clearly already have melee and PM. It would be pretty fun imo they wouldn't have to balance it at all.. (though i don't trust...

I'm still not really hopeful for online.. Fighting games are pretty obnoxious with any ping what so ever I've played pc games with like 30 ping and it's still kind of noticeable. I can't imagine even if the wii u has fantastic online that it will be good for anything but pretty local play.

I would say to ban it in most *official* major tournaments for the first 5-6 months. I mean if the game is amazingly balanced without them, and all they do is add absurd randomness to match ups it seems to be pointless. Local and other such get togethers/tourny's should ideally use standard...

I've got to get a pretty high number of game cube controllers is there anywhere that i can get decent amount of somewhat decently built controllers (ones that kids won't rip to shreds in a few days time) I've checked amazon and some of the price are decent (excluding the one's that are like $6...

I mean that if you go play a 2nd round and someone bans FD (since they want to avoid Marth vs ASS or w/e on FD) if someone blocks FD that's a blanket thing right?

If someone bans FD do they ban them all or just that specific FD? I'm assuming the first option..

Well I think they do have that right depending on which country they reside and stating otherwise is kind of questionable. And how is it superior? If you mean subjectively to you it seems like a rather useless statement and your objector can just as easily say no not to him and you'll both be...

Hmmm.. less alive than vastly less preferred? Idk how to establish better or worse without stepping on people's toes. Clearly saying more or less fun isn't right since that's like saying "no don't like taste x like taste y" so I'll use better in the sense of keeping a larger player base over...
