It's ****ing MLP. A bunch of the people who don't even play it are donating for it, just like a ton voted for it. **** sucks. =\Instead of wondering Melee v Brawl, seriously argument is stupid preference is preference drop it, we should be wondering why an unfinished game has almost 3 times the money in donations than Melee has.
Regardless of how people treat the aftermath, Melee is still considered Smash bros. If you browse enough TFG sites, when a Melee/Brawl article get put up, 90% of the TFG players all refer to it as Smash. Only around a quarter of people go out of their way to specifically mention one game or another.This is what I see happening, with a "No" to the "great for 'us' all" part.
I don't despise Melee in the slightest, but I'm questioning why people have started claiming that Brawl players donating to Melee helps them too. Don't pull this "Smash Community" stuff. We all know that we're separated.
All of us here know better than any others that Brawl and Melee are not the same game. Exposure for one =/= Exposure for the other. I don't see what's making you guys think that Melee getting in the spotlight will help Brawl in some way. This "Competitive Smash" thing will be dropped for "This is Melee". On EVO's page, people will see "Super Smash Bros. Melee". If asked, "What game is this?" in a stream, melee players will say "This is Super Smash Bros Melee".
Do you really think someone is going to go out of their way to mention brawl?
Furthermore, if melee makes EVO, what's stopping the melee community from trying to separate from Brawl even farther? "We were at EVO" is even more leverage if that becomes the case, and most of the players don't think much of brawl anyway.
Before I get labeled for trolling, I am 100% serious. Keep in mind you're asking Brawl players to help a community that has treated them poorly in the past, and one that would have no urgent incentive to give back to the community that helped them, along with the fact that they hate said community's game in the first place.
I'm fine with melee trying to get in. Just don't try to bait brawl players into helping you with some false hopes.
@Big, I think you're correct on your fears, actually. If you like Melee, it's NOT a bad decision to donate. I do think it will hurt Brawl though in the long run. That's for you to weigh though.
I know right?It's ****ing MLP. A bunch of the people who don't even play it are donating for it, just like a ton voted for it. **** sucks. =\
I just hope everyone follows through with this smash community mentality if melee makes it.Regardless of how people treat the aftermath, Melee is still considered Smash bros. If you browse enough TFG sites, when a Melee/Brawl article get put up, 90% of the TFG players all refer to it as Smash. Only around a quarter of people go out of their way to specifically mention one game or another.
Regardless of how minute the effects are, or how indirect the effects are. When one smash game is features, the other will ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS get at least a quick glance.
That's the main point I'm getting at. The games are always looked at together more often than not OUTSIDE this community.
And as a result exposure for one is exposure for another.
In context of other games I'm pretty sure those sets were still long. Hell, Melee has long sets by lots of standards. KoF has long sets. But Brawl's sets are LONG.I believe the longer matches were the MK dittos while other matches weren't that long in contrast.
I remember last night Salem v Mikeneko being pretty fast pased.
I'd hate 2 stocks. Because if you SD once, you are done. I'd rather a stream always be going have some people record key matches separately if possible and upload those later on their channels or a main shared brawl channel. And although top 8 was amazing the top 4 could streamed individually rather than top 8 to save more time. Furthermore, the timer could be made 6 minutes. There'd be a whole lot more timeouts and the meta game would chance, but it'd change less than it would from 2 stocks. These are just my preferences though. And brawl would have ended ~an hour earlier if not for pausing everything for melee GF.League tournaments have far less entrants, and we still mad when they finish at 4am.
I also play League. I don't think Brawl is bad because it's not a hyper aggro game. I think that if we're going to try and blend into the FGC (which is what going to EVO is all about), then you should try not to have ridiculously long sets.
So then don't SD, duh.I'd hate 2 stocks. Because if you SD once, you are done..
He might have meant in the future, because if melee makes it in smash in general will probs become a regular for at least one of the games.Can Brawl caught SG? Not really...
Oh yeah...but the thing is....Brawl is not good dude. Most people play Brawl because it's a watered down version of meele. People like ChrisG or Noel Brown can ya that.He might have meant in the future, because if melee makes it in smash in general will probs become a regular for at least one of the games.
I almost regret donating to melee when I keep reading things like this.Oh yeah...but the thing is....Brawl is not good dude. Most people play Brawl because it's a watered down version of meele. People like ChrisG or Noel Brown can ya that.
