You hate life, obviously.Am I a sadist for liking to face Olinar?
Maybe it is because I'm one of the few remaining straglers ,but that doesn't seem like good logic to me. People play basketball and the basic rules of the game hasn't changed in well over 5 years. Brawl started losing popularity the month after it's release. I guess people are just content crazy these, because if you take a look at LOL it is as popular as every and they release a new character regularly. Under the current way fighting game engines work that wouldn't be a very smart idea.
Many of the players who decided to keep MK in the initial ban decision were MK mains. During the URC movement the people who were "appointed" to ban MK either didn't main MK or weren't top performers with MK.
Look at the Melee numbers. While they have dropped, the game is still holding strong at 11 years old.
It just means you haven't played a good one yet.Am I a sadist for liking to face Olinar?
Getting along is too shallow. I think we have to look at why we don't like each other. We both like Nintendo and video games, but obviously you want the game you like the most to be the most dominate. I don't support project:M because from what I read and discussed with people in the community is that generally they just try to make everything harder and more technical. There is nothing wrong with that if you like that type of thing, but I don't so I shy away from it.I want brawlers and meelee-ers to get along.
Our community is better than this.
Well it is clear to me after 5 years that we just lack organization. We have the instal base. I have meet and invited casuals to come and play at tournaments, but lack of regular schedules and easy place to find tournament infomation is quite annoying. I though allisBrawl was in the step in the right direction, but for some reason the Smash community decided to stay here when this site clearly lacks the organization tools.
Recently I discovered that any character can drop off of platform out of shield. It is kinda trick to do. While on a platform you have to slightly tilt down. ( You have to tilt further than if you were trying to shield DI, but not so much that you do a spot dodge). I found this useful in situations where Lucario is getting pressured on the platforms by characters with superior options like MK.
Actually, one of the "debates" I had with Chibo when we were setting up Smash4U was about this "brawl vs melee" segregation. He wanted to keep it up; have distinct and separated sections in the wiki, media library, calendar, chat etc... for each game.
Watch your tongue! You're speaking to Jaxel
Don't you owe me your soul?
Replace "character" with "game" and you pretty much have a summary of Project M as a whole.
I main ganon in project M and melee and they basically just straight buffed him from melee and gave him new technology. so I don't experience this with him.
Well of course they straight up buffed him from Melee! As far as I can tell, Project M was made because a portion of the Super Smash Bros. fanbase simply couldn't come to grips with the fact that HAL Laboratories wanted to make an entry in the Super Smash Bros. series that evolved the series past Melee, so they did everything in their power to "fix" the game like a 12-year-old fanfiction author would "fix" the plot of his favorite TV show because the show's creator wanted to introduce drama into the series.
Not necessarily. Agree-ing to dis-agree is a very common compromise used between two separate parties to solve a problem. In this case, melee-ers and brawlers may prefer one game but that doesn't mean they have to bash the other. I just mean, respect that players for their decision. I hate when someone comes along and says "The whole problem is that brawlers decide to play brawl; brawl is so trash it shouldn't even have a community." When it comes right down to it, our communities could just say "I may not enjoy your game but i respect your decision to play it. IMO not supporting a game (or rather it's community) because you don't like it leads to arguments which only further divide a community.
