Apparently, I'm better at Brawl now, than I ever was at Melee

[The Adder]

So, I haven't gotten to play any humans yet, but I've realized something. I'm stomping level 9s with little to no effort, and apparently they're supposed to be harder than they were in Melee. But in Melee, I had to put in, what felt like, more effort to win.

So, I don't know if it was all the videos I watched featuring my current main (Lucario) or if the new physics play more to my style, or what, but I started out on Brawl better than I ever was at Melee.

Odd.

Never measure your skill based on how well you fare against computers.

To me, the Lv.9's are not as challenging as they were in Melee. Play a human character and I think you might have a different opinion on your skill level when it comes to Brawl.

 

[Kunato]

Some people are better than others against computers.

Like, person A beats person B in a match. Then, person A fights against a computer. He loses. Person B fights against the computer on the same level and wins. It's almost like rock, scissor, paper.

 

[SnowandDeath]

yea when i first got the game i easily killed a few level 9s with little effort

Never measure your skill based on how well you fare against computers.

I think it's valid to compare how well you did against computer A against how well you did against computer B.

Just not how well you did against computer B against how well you're going to do against human A.

Also, every time I see your Avatar I see a Landmaster instead of an inverted Peach.

It plays more like Smash 64, so if you were a Smash 64 fan (like myself) you might find yourself falling back into your roots, I find myself to be better at Brawl as well.

 

[shadydentist]

It plays nothing like smash 64.

64:
Grabs are awesome
Hitstun is long, l-cancelling gives 0 lag, therefore combos are ridiculous
No regular DI (only smash DI)

Brawl:
Grabs suck
Hitstun is very short, no l-cancelling, no ridiculous combos
Very good DI

Computers suck in very game, everytime.

 

[joepinion]

I have had a similar experience... I'm not sure why so many have said the computers are better in Brawl. They seem worse to me.

 

[FlyinG ShoosteR]

I feel the same way...I wasn't good at Melee. I would try beating classic on very hard, and I just couldn't do it. But yesterday in Brawl, I beat classic on intense difficlty and only used 1 continue. Either I'm much better with Lucas than I ever was with my old mains, or Brawl's cpu's aren't as hard as Melee's.

 

[Vulcan]

Heh, I am def. better in Brawl then I was in melee, I was never able to do wave-dashing while fighting and the combat seemed just too fast for me to follow at times. Brawl feels perfect for me, been easily winning 1v1s vs all my friends and online.

Thanks for outlining the differences friend! Can you make a list on how it's more like melee than 64 too?

 

[maxieman]

well then I guess My brawl Ike is better than my melee luigi =/ thats kewl I guess

 

[I The Nemesis I]

^^ Lmao @ your avatar.

But yeah, I wouldn't judge my skills against computers if I were you.

 

[6footninja]

Looking at all the people who think the brawl cpus are easier as well. I would say hey really ARE easier, and that the people who said the brawl cpus' were harder, probably didnt know what they were talking about. Because I agree, the brawl cpus' at lvl.9 were pretty easy to beat

 

[VanishWraith]

i hope you guys are right that how you do against cpus doesnt affect how you do against humans. i would say i was one of the best in my town at melee but for some reason, im having so much trouble with level 9 computers now. i was able to beat them when i first got the game on friday (got it early) and did pretty well against my biggest human competitor on friday and saturaday as well.

now for some reason, i either cant beat them, or have a lot of trouble doing it. i feel like i lost all my skills i guess i'll see how i really am when i face my main rival again tomorrow.

 

[Bibbed]

The fact that you had to put in any effort to beat a level 9 computer in Melee says a lot.

 

[The Adder]

Not really, as has been pointed out multiple times in this topic, comparing how you fare against computers to how you'll fare against humans doesn't work. I'm comparing computer to computer, if Brawl's are truly better then I'm vastly better at brawl than I was at Melee.

It's a good thing then that I wasn't comparing performance versus computers to performance versus humans. I simply made a blanket statement about performance versus a computer.

Yeah, true. Once you get the hang of Melee and start bashing Lv.9's as you should, the only real challenge is playing a team of 3 Lv.9's.

 

[Kinsei_Kensei]

I'm WAAAY better at Brawl than I was a Melee. Whether its against CPU or humans, I'm just more skilled. I've got 2 friends that I usually play Melee against and they always used to stomp me. In Brawl, I stomp them!

You're not better, they're just worse now
