I don't think Brawl ever 'sucked'. It sold nicely and gained a lot of positive reviews. We have a different view on Smash 4. To me, it appears slow-paced and boring. Needless to say, this is merely an opinion. Not to mention the fact that the game is still in beta. The game appears to be bit faster than Brawl and most likely has more "combo" potential that it's predecessor. But from what I've seen it appears to have none of the factors that have made Melee popular as a competitive fighter. As I said earlier - it will be interesting to see how everything unfolds.I don't think Smash 4 will suck anywhere nearly as hard as Brawl. The game looked much better than Brawl and I know at least Redd's been saying that Smash 4 has combos in it
You have made few statements, could you elaborate on them? I am unfamiliar with Halo.Even years after Smash 4's release, Smash4 will be much fresher on the minds of casual gamers with some degree of interest in the competitive scene (Let's call them casual-competitive to give them an easier name to call them). Smash 4 will be bigger because there will be a snowball to support it. It will have the most players and the most prize money. Top players would likely want to convert to that game that's fun-but-not-as-fun because it's money. This happened in Halo 4's community.
I believe this is true. However, in case of Project M, I see merely how VGBC has benefited the Melee community (and Smash Community as whole). I am starting to better understand your perspective, though.Videogamebootcamp has streamed less of Melee because Project M gets lots of viewers. It'd be impossible to find the quote, but I think it was GIMR who said it himself (correct me if I'm wrong). People are going to be seeing and thinking about Smash 4 much more than they will think about Melee
At the end of the day - it will be up to the community. Which game they enjoy playing and choose to focus on? I see Melee has a future in this regard - and it always will.
We shall see - it will be interesting. I was under the impression that Smash 4 would become a successful competitive game. However, after seeing the gameplay, my views have changed. You see Melee's era coming to an end, I presume?Melee's not going to die instantly. It's just that it will not be the primary competitive Smash game
Haha, I see what you mean. However, I think Brawl is a good game in it's own regard. It's merely slower-paced and less suited for competitive environment. I've thought of Smash 4 replacing Brawl - never Melee. I see you have faith in Smash 4, I do not. I used to but I've found it to be quite boring to watch so far.I doubt Smash 4 will be short lived. Look at Brawl. It sucks and yet there's still people playing it and it's been 6 years so far. But it is gradually dying now. Players are waiting for Smash 4 to replace it. Smash 4 has combos. I know at least Redd has said it himself. Have any of use been at the Best Buy Smashfest to try the game for ourselves?
Nothing. I think Smash 4 will be 'better' (to use a related yet ambiguous term) than Brawl. But I believe it will still disappoint to deliver as a competitive game. There is another aspect of this topic yet to mention. The fact that people who love Melee are likely to react differently to Smash 4 than to Brawl. People love Melee and expected Brawl to be a sequel. They were disappointed and some still bash the game today because of it. How will people react today - when they find the game is nothing like Melee? They will do what they enjoy doing - play Melee. Only this time, the transition will be much quicker. People are more prepared and may not have high hopes for the game. This time, people will not waste time on trying to make a game something that it is not.What makes you think it will be worse than Brawl?
Do not misunderstand. People will buy it, people will play it, people will study it - but will people enjoy playing it in the long run? Melee has been around for a long time, even when circumstances have not been beneficial - to say at least.
