I just noticed this profile has some decent 1v1 videos (no sound, unfortunately) with very little views. Figured there'd be people here who'd want to see them. Be prepared for a good amount of SD's though.

Enjoy.

crosser43 · Feb 1, 2008

thanks man, just what i was looking for

XSilvenX · Feb 1, 2008

It's funny how the game looks sort of..."bootleg" compared to melee lol. I guess it's because I'm so used to Melee's speed...haha. Nice stuff though, the Fox player was putting in work on that sandbag haha.

Blatherskite · Feb 1, 2008

The quality of the vids just made me lol.

Dax · Feb 1, 2008

Oh, finally. Thanks dude

marth marth marth · Feb 1, 2008

Awesome! competitive play is still on, and marth will be my main!

Big Burn · Feb 1, 2008

lol maybe if this game has lighting mode it will be the equivalent to melee's speed and could potentially fun... cause my god that was some pretty slow game play

Yeah, about half of those vids aren't too hot. I think one of the gameplays was actually of the kid's dad playing? =P

Blatherskite · Feb 1, 2008

The most recent vid is pretty awful, but some of those gave me hope for competitive play.
SSBB Meljin (Fox/falco) vs WilloW (Falcon) < That one was alright

Blatherskite · Feb 1, 2008

I see Falco trying the SHL a lot, but it doesn't work because his short hop is too high. I wonder if you can just fast fall the short hop and then laser to compensate for that.

WFL · Feb 1, 2008

I don't get why everyone is downplaying the slower pace of this game. I think it is going to be better, but that's really because I'm better at SSB64 than melee. I'm also not sure if these people are short hopping or if it's a full jump because I saw some double lasers, but I think it was a full jump.

simplicityho · Feb 1, 2008

Looks like Falco can still SHL, but without the fastfall.
I lol'd at the shinespike.

Blatherskite · Feb 1, 2008

Yup, I definitely saw Falco short hop two lasers. Not thatthey did much good tho lol.

Lunaretic · Feb 1, 2008

A pretty good watch. Was interesting to try to predict winners based on estimated tiers/etc. before watching. : )
(Note, I usually got the winner wrong : P )

lol so true

sHy)(gUy · Feb 1, 2008

yes, everyone worrying about brawls competive potential should watch these vids, its exacty how pros/people played meele when it first came out, now just imagine a few years down the line when everyones figured out how to effectivelly play this game, it will look drasticly different.

Hitzel · Feb 1, 2008

The fox player seemed to be able to pull off some short hop aerials, but Falco just seemed to jump too high (or the player just wasn't short hopping).

Also, Pika's down smash is beastly...

Lovage 805 · Feb 1, 2008

Good find man thanks for the links

LoserNumber2 · Feb 1, 2008

pika down smash is godly

marth is still a beast

AttackstorM · Feb 1, 2008

OMG i have to mention i was so happy to witness the first shinespike i ever saw in brawl at 1:21 on the first vid i just had to pause the video and immediately post this

Nah, this isn't the same. The difference between early Melee and modern melee was the discovery of l-cancelling really. Without that, the transformation wouldn't have been that significant. These videos give us some hope, but unless we find a way to l-cancel, Brawl isn't going to go far competitively.

You'd be surprised at how far popularity can make a game go competitively.

I'm hoping that the fact that aerials have less lag now gives us a decent roster of playable characters for competitive Smash.

Unfortuently, that's not true for the likes of Gannondorf and Ike. With L-Canceling removed, they could very well be gimped.

l-canceling was in ssb (n64) so that had nothing to do with it, what happed is that the more people played the more people figured out what worked and what didnt and the same will hold true for this game.

also the marth vs. pikachu match on corneria was like a dream match between ssb pikachu and melee marth

01:46, Marth TRIPS immediately after a grab for pretty much no reason.
WAY TO GO SAKURAI!

It looks like he tripped immediately after starting his dash..

I've heard that pressing the stick down while dashing is what causes a trip... was that ever confirmed to be untrue?

Blatherskite · Feb 1, 2008

I don't know, but the trip definitely has something to do with the beginning of a dash.

Kr3w · Feb 2, 2008

nice find.
on the one with marth vs fox people are commenting calling them 'tourney ***s' because there are no items..? wtf i play like that all the time, does everyone else feel the same way as them?

Hitzel · Feb 2, 2008

No, they're jerks. Don't let it bug you.

Layupfreak · Feb 2, 2008

Thank you, that took a while to find =)

Stole the post right from my keyboard.

This was almost refreshing to see, though, I have to say, the one I watched wasn't that great.
But still, it just goes to show that we will try, and we will most likely succeed.

Some of them were good, some of them were pretty bad.

Here's a standout early Meta Knight player. I haven't finished Meljin's videos, but this guy gets it:

all i can say is metaknight=toptier watching this guy play makes me want to play , this should be the american comercial, this video

blackninjaforevr · Feb 2, 2008

I watched the Metaknight video and I think you guys are getting worked up over nothing, he is fighting a predictable CP that is also a big slow target (bowser).

Jturley46 · Feb 2, 2008

lol at noobs and their hope. These videos show promise !

lol QFT.

Probably a lvl 4-5 Bowser.

dmbrandon · Feb 2, 2008

Metaknight is NOT near top tier. I'd say, bottom of high, or top of middle ish.
