Is Brawl even relevant anymore?

[steamymartini]

Competitive Brawl sounds as irrelevant as the 2012 scare that we were all going to die. You think it would be better to move on to other smash games to create a bigger community?

 

[TheComebackKid]

It does have a chance, if people would at least stop being d bags about defensive play. So what if it's not how you like to play, then play aggressive. Nothing's stopping someone from playing like that.

I think this guy is a troll, he's been going around making threads to rile people up.

Probably, and a Brawl tourney happened just yeerday.

I dont know what u mean by relevant,,,,, but I'm still seeing people sign up for Brawl tourneys.....

 

[TheComebackKid]

I still prefer it over Tr4sh. Tr4sh just, it tried, but it feels lacking, even with customs.

I think ur 2 hard on Smash Wii U...... It's not that bad,,,, it just feels 2 clunky for competitive play........ But i was able to get 1 victory in a RR pool in tournaments.

All Smash games should be given a chance in tourneys, even if some have more entrants than others. Brawl at Smash Con was pretty good.

I love 64, I love Melee, I love Brawl and I love Smash 4.

Tr4ash? Really?

What's the point of bagging on sm4sh?

There is nothing wrong with prefering 1 game versus the other, even if u disagree with their opinions...

Nothing wrong with preferring another game. There IS something wrong with people in this community insulting each others games out of left field. He might as well be the OP with comments like that.

I swear I see threads like this and it convinces me smash will never really be bigger than it is now. Too many stubborn immature kids/manchildren who are more focused on bagging on the smash games they don't even play, rather than improving their own.

Obvious trolls are obvious. Don't take the bait, friends.

What has become of Smash Boards?

Its just a joke man. But I really felt like smash 4 could have been, better, even with the dlc.

As long as people sign up when its there, it will never be "dead"

it probably could have been better, but i actually really enjoy it despite how much i enjoy melee and pm.

the only thing i wish was if they added l-cancelling, but there's something called smoothlander heavy gravity mode and it really changes the game. check it out if you haven't already.

whats the point of heavy gravity mode if they are banned at tournaments???

Explain how you think it could be better?

In no means am I saying Smash 4 is a perfect game, but I don't see anything wrong with it except for balance issues.

customs were banned at tournaments in the beginning, what is the difference? SLHG isn't even nearly as hard to setup as getting customs on a wii u

This **** again? L-canceling is a dumb, dumb idea. Everyone on a competitive level hits their L-cancel. If you play tournament, you hit it almost every time, and if you miss it you're not going to get punished because the frame difference is between half and a third of human reaction time. There's never a single reason you want to miss it, it's just forcing you to hit shield a lot. L-canceling might work as an easter egg for a casual fighter (i.e. what Smash was intended as), but if the game was balanced with the expectation of everybody halving their landing lag by pressing a button then there's no point in even requiring the button press except to suck the **** of the God of Hitting Buttons Tech Skill™.

you still completely missed the smoothlander heavy gravity mode part, which acts as l-cancelling every move.

also, saying that could be compared to starcraft2; why queue up building units if you could just have a toggle-able unit builder? why force people to queue up building units?

i don't know, execution level increases, and choking is way more of a thing because if you choke an l-cancel that could be a game.

Brawl tourneys are basically only there for diehard fans that want to preserve it and also set up for people that only want brawl because its part of the series.

except the fact that its not anywhere near as effective of a strategy in brawl and is far more likely to cost a player the match.

people will gravitate towards the most effective strategy, no matter how boring they find it to be.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Still, nothings stopping them, even if its less effective.

Or maybe y'know... they genuinely enjoy playing the game? Just a suggestion.

Brawl may be losing relevancy, but I still love this game. Heck, I still pop it in, even after playing 4 and Project M.
