SCREW U BROOKMAN**** Chillin, you'd think that within the confines of 65 pages, at 40 posts per page, we would have come to these conclusions at least...I don't know, 100 times? Well, thank god we have you, cause I think we have finally hit the 100th time all that **** has been said. Thanks for utilizing your superiors reasoning ability to end the 'debate.' Really, we couldn't have done it without you.
It's like, we once were blind, but now can see.
I think your right with the Balance of brawl, it does see, balanced at first but later on you'll see some chars seperate from the average and becomer *blank* tier.
Krispy Kreme has the tendency to tear my stomach all to crap. I guess too many sweets? o.O
****, Waffle House is so low tier it's not even funny. The only way they get business is if they trucker-cancel, and even then its not much. Denny's totally ***** Waffle House in terms of breakfast camping, especially when they dash serve. High tier, definitely.
Have you read his manifesto? Very enlightening. It's sad that many people will choose to ignore it (or choose to be hyper-cynical about his points) simply because it's coming from a terrorist.
Excellent post. I didn't even realize the parallels you just brought up, but its scary how somewhat true it is.
Just wanted to point out, What I posted was on Page 2.... we're now on Page 175 and it's the reason I have not returned or posted in this thread on pages 3 through 174.
I don't know how true this statement is. I honestly feel that the lack of depth in Brawl is going to limit its lifespan.
You are absolutely correct.
Melee's not completely figured out, but any further advances would be minute. Watch a video of Mew2King playing at his best, and tell me how much more we could advance. Humans are pretty limited with what we can do in a game that requires such precision, and M2K is probably the one who has taken Melee the furthest to this point. If M2K played only Melee for the next 2 years, a video of him then would likely look marginally better than a video of him now. Also, How did most top players just start getting technical a year ago?
As the community got better, so did the speed at which players within the community got better. From 2001-2005 or so, I played a lot less Melee overall than I did from 2006-2008. Because the competition as a whole was getting better, I had to play more to keep up. That's why I improved so much from 06 to now.
I will admit that it was somewhat amusing watching both side's arguments become more and more refined, ever solidifying into the inevitability. Proof positive of the corruptible nature of Democracy (the corruptible element here being "Ego") and Polity being the true voice of the people.
I was at a Brawl/Melee tournament the other day, and this is what I saw.
Number 2 has your answer. Melee will remain, it will continue to thrive, but it will never continue to grow. No new players to the Smash series will start to play Melee. No melee veterans who are tired of Melee will go back to Melee. No players who care about winning money will go back to Melee, because there will be many more Brawl tournaments to win money from.Synikal said:
I'll admit to being relatively unknown outside FL in competitive circles, which will hurt my credence here. Regardless, I'll boldly state that in my prime, I and a few other FL players (such as Thomas Tipman, Lamb and Shiz) were largely ahead of Melee's technical meta-game by a long-shot. Techniques that were just starting to become somewhat ubiquitous at the end of 07' (Pivots, Waveland variations and more), relatively unknown players such as myself and Tipman (at the time) were doing at excess at the end of 04'.
