Red Ryu is styling.

RR is always stylin'. He's just stylin' like he's never stylin'ed before.

 

[RT]

Too much style.

DO YOU EVEN HEAR?

Hey guys I'm actually doodling again :3

Sounds like they had a bored SimCity mayor.

My Brawl hiatus has made me forget even how to glide toss consistently.

This isnt good.

Instead, I've been practicing my screenshot skills in melee

I've been practicing some things in brawl, not just with my character. I never realised Nana could do Dthrow and popo could run and do a turn-around grab. It's not very practical but it looks so cool and demoralizing... @.@

@BC: It isn't going any further south... right? o.O

That was a nice doodle.

Thanks :3

Also, some people think I'm a Brawl hater, lol.

Its fun to get first post in the announcements.

I always knew that happy avatar hid the heart of a brawl hater.

Melee should've already been in the lineup at EVO, but... I'm merely making the best out of all situations... If Melee does win we can take advantage of that and tell Sakurai to shuddap about tripping in future Smash games...

Imagine Nintendo's reaction after we show them how much attention Melee, not Brawl has stirred up for EVO. So, this is a long-term, deep strategy.

 

[Espy Rose]

All it'll say is "Please make more Smash games."

 

[Karnu]

I got no critic on my video :'(

 

[Mewtario]

Nintendo cares more about the wider, random-loving public and friendly matches than they do their tournament scene.

And I like it that way! When it comes to e-sports, World of Tanks and its sister projects are my games of choice.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

Melee showing up at EVO instead of Brawl will literally say nothing to Sakurai other than "you succeeded in your goal of making smash not competitive with Brawl"

 

[RT]

I think he knew that when Brawl was being developed...

Such a close race...

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

Isn't Sakurai not the head of development for Smash 4?

 

[RT]

Sora and Bamco are working on it together.

But it's still Sakurai's game, so he probably still has final say.

 

[Mewtario]

So several months ago I deliberately ripped myself off in a TF2 trade in order to get a Mining Light without paying any real-world money.

Now, I'm TF2 rich, seeing as they've recently retired the hat!

But I don't play anymore, so the items will rot there forever.

I've never played TF2.

Basically what Espy said. Sakurai's not going to try to make Smash 4 more like Melee just because it's what the competitive community would want. You can tell if you go back and piece things together from pre- and post-Brawl interviews that he probably hoped Brawl would be a better compromise than it turned out to be, but he cares a lot more about catering to people who aren't very good at video games, yet want to be able to sit down and play Smash and have a good time without having to develop a lot of tech skill first.

Basically I wouldn't get my hopes up about the stuff that made Melee exciting and dynamic getting put back in, unless he's recently changed his mind yet again on what Smash should be.

 

[RT]

It can be assumed Smash 4 will not be as good as Melee.

But it will hopefully be better than Brawl. If it's at least as good as 64, which is like the middle ground, then people can deal with it.

 

[Sunnysunny]

Ewwww.
Smash 64 is gross~!

All those one touch = death scenario's are ridiculous!
Entertaining, but ridiculous~!

 

[~automatic]

Yeah, leave 64 to the pros.

 

[Linkshot]

Sakurai did an amazing job with Uprising, in terms of accessibility and difficulty, so I'm not afraid of what the next Smash will be like.

 

[~automatic]

All Smash games have been very accessible. People just think that Melee mechanics= instant gold.

 

[RT]

It's because Melee's fighting system feels the most polished in the series. It's the closest to be considered a fighting game.

Compare it to Brawl, which took everything Melee had and made it the opposite.

Keep in mind that Melee was designed with the 64 version in mind, so they added/upgraded features to the 64 battle system (side B move, airdodging, directional throws, powershielding, etc.).

Compare this to the Brawl system where they added features to make it more accessible/casual (tripping, easier DI, footstooling, easier powershielding, autosnap, no hitstun for less combos, etc) and removed some of the improvements from Melee.

And of course, pacing.

 

[Espy Rose]

Yeah, leave 64 to the pros.

Yeah. All one of them.

 

[~automatic]

I laughed more than I should have.

 

[Mewtario]

Project M has set out to make Brawl entirely boring.

The spirit of the Smash games is to set themselves apart from other fighting games (except, now, Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale, I suppose, unless Sakurai pulls a curve ball specifically to counteract it) as much as possible, and a considerable deal of that comes from the randomness of the fights, as aided by items and, in Brawl, tripping.

Plus, it's positively comedic, not to mention satisfying, to throw a Homerun Bat from the upper/mid-left part of Temple, have it bounce across a surface, skip back into the air, and smack the opposing player as he's in the middle of jumping over the hurdle in the middle of the stage, sending him flying backwards!

 

[Browny]

Yeah. All one of them.

I hope you aren't referring to the 'only' 64 player

you know, the one who keeps coming 2nd and majors.

People don't give the other guy any credit :/

 

[Espy Rose]

Wait, there's two?

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

Fire Emblem Awakening comes out in 4 days, get hype.

 

[~automatic]

I'd be a lot more hype if I stil had a 3DS.

 

[RT]

Another game to add to my list of games I will never finish.

I want to spread more Love and Peace!

Want mi...... oh wait PAL LOL.

No.

Hate and war.
