Ashamed

[Rudarudd]

Sakurai should be ashamed that this game exhausted him. I've been playing since release and it seems that each time I login I do nothing but yearn for Melee. I'm not even a "pro" or anything at Melee and I tolerated Brawl. But this game.. it spits in the face of everyone. It's terrible because it has exactly what we always wanted. 1 VS 1 final destination matches with no items. But oh my ****ing god it feels like the damage counter doesn't do ****; I remember being nervous when my damage was above 80% but in this piece of **** I look forward to it because it doesn't matter. No lobby, no balance, half the time I float through the ledge and don't even grab it because it doesn't work but who cares, the netcode is garbage I swear I'm VSing people with the Wii U dial up adapter and there's no way I can know that going in. Good luck trying to ****in' tech recover online; each match I enter I press the shield button and count how long it takes for it to pop up. There's a reason the crowd chanted Melee at Apex, and I know that now more than ever. The worst part? The absolute worst part is I bought the 3DS game, the Wii U game, the GC adapter with 4 controllers, and upgraded my net to 100MBps. I have tried so hard to love this game, poured hundreds of hours into it. I'm not mad that I lose online sometimes, nobody wins them all and when I feel legitimately beat I actually friend the person, but most of the time it's the ****ing awful delay, unregistered moves, or even worse the misses because you're too close. I swear Lil' Mac must be the worlds worst boxer if he misses his opponent because they're too close. I love you smash community and I love the experience smash can offer.. I just wish someone made it right.

Whoa whoa whoa don't go hating on this game. Every smash game is different in its own right, so pick which one you have most fun playing. How can you say grabbing doesn't work? Look up luigi and diddy kong videos and get back to me. If you have problems with lag, play with other people in the same room instead on online. And hey no johns, you're basically saying the only time you lose is for lag. Smashboards is a place to love smash, not hate on it. Sakurai cant make a perfect game, but he can make a great one, and many like me think he did with Smash 4

I get that you're venting your frustrations, but this really isn't that place to do that.

If you yearn for Melee, then go play Melee. Nobody is stopping you and forcing you to play Smash 4.
