Can we please stop obsessing over wave dashing? It's a physics exploit from directional air dodges, not an actual mechanic, nor does the competitive viability of Melee rely as heavily on the existence of wave dashing as many of you think it does. Sure, its a tool that we currently use, but if it...

I don't know if it's been discussed, but I think a big factor are western unions. Especially with there being two different versions of the game.

Someone told me that Samus and Cpt. Falcon were cousins and I believed it.

I love Brawl, but Smash 4 will make Brawl less relevant... in a good way! Smash 4 takes what I prefer about Brawl over Melee, fixes what I didn't like about Brawl, and added goddamn Mega Man. Mega Man!

What he's saying is that until all characters are unlocked, the Melee and Brawl roster didn't have series line up like that.

People were saying exactly this before, until it turned out that Chrom might only get his chance another day.

If you were going to argue with someone about which character is most requested, wouldn't it make sense to include such information to back up the discussion instead of "research it yourself, I'm not going to tell you where I got this information"? (not directed at you in particular! You...

Boy this thread is notorious for not including sources... And I'm pretty sure Goku is the most requested character. Source: miiverse.nintendo.net

I completely agree, SSE took a lot more resources than it was worth and I wanted it gone for Smash 4 (so they could focus on everything else). But I'm seeing numbers being thrown around as if they're fact - and there's no way SSE is anywhere close to 70%.

Source? In fact, a lot of this thread is lacking sources. I see "SSE took 70% of the game's dev time!" and "SSE took 60% of the game's dev time!" along with this, with nothing to back it up. This isn't a discussion, it's more like making stuff up to bash Brawl and bringing the thread even...

The worst part is that this is the closest we're going to get to a new Mega Man game

Pac-man was probably 'free', since Namco is developing the game; Sonic I have no idea, could go either way; and Capcom wouldn't pay to have Mega Man in any game when they're actively trying to kill him.

They got a Metal Gear character and it wasn't even Snake... What were they thinking?! (they probably cut a cheaper deal with publishers saying "we'll advertise Metal Gear Rising, DmC, Bioshock Infinite, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for you!!" rather than have any sort of desire to live up to the...

The idea is that any Nintendo fan can play the game, not just fighting/action fans. If you only play Pokemon, you should still be able to pick up Smash and play competently and have a chance of winning after only a few rounds against your friend that plays a lot of platformers. (in a...

Of course a topic about how Sakurai wants to make the best game possible turns into "Brawl sucks, Sakurai doesn't know what he's doing because that ain't Melee." And somehow adding a character from one of the most popular games of all time is a terrible decision, but there's absolutely no...
