Something I learned about Brawl...

[Hakkat]

This is probably obvious to a lot of people, but I used to play Brawl, and I saw a lot of people on youtube who were just really good and had quick fingers, etc.

I always wondered how they did that, as I never really figured it out. I read more about Melee and how it's more competitive, so I started playing Melee instead, then I played Project M (Melee 2.0)

I got better at that game and learned AT's like L cancel combos and wavedashing, and then, since my friends only have Brawl, I went back to Brawl to play a little bit. I'm much better at Brawl now. Don't get me wrong I was never really BAD at Brawl at all, it's just that I feel like I'm a lot better now.

So if you want to get better at Brawl, try Project M or Melee. (I did not play these specifically to get good at Brawl, but I just found this out when I went BACK to Brawl) hope I helped.

xD yeah I haven't played smash for a while but I'm back on now. You can probably find me on the P:M boards now, lol.

When I started Melee again, i got used to the mechanics of it, and then my friend wanted to play Brawl. I found it very hard to adapt to the mechanics after such a long time of melee XD

If you learn stuff that is considered pretty basic mechanics in Melee, you'll likely have more than enough tech skill to execute Brawl movements. Not all advanced techniques, but most.

Yeah, an example is short hopping and dash dancing, I used to be bad at both, and then I played Melee and Project M. I can do them both easily now in Brawl.

I played Melee Fox once, now my finger speed is unmatched with the exception of my brother : Dark.

I can't agree with you more. I was never bad at Brawl either but I think Project M has helped improve my Brawl game significantly. My friends only play Brawl too, (although I'm trying to get them to give Project M a chance) but they are even seeing an improvement.
