>people with breast cancerYou donated to melee. Unfortunately, you help some stupid jerks, but the game is worth the donation.
Hey! Thanks for donating to melee my brawl counter-part. I, along with the melee community, really appreciate it.Alright, thanks. Off to donate to Melee, hopefully I'll be wrong about what would happen.
the truth hurts man, the game just isn't that good. that being said, i just dropped $50 for brawl because of Biz_R dropping bones for melee. Also, ESAM beat my *** at apex so I can't say brawl players suck, just their ****ty game choice. A reluctant $50 for brawl from this melee fan boy.I almost regret donating to melee when I keep reading things like this.
If you had reading comprehension you'd realize he's talking about the decent chunk of Melee players that waste no time bashing Brawl at any and every oppertunity.>people with breast cancer

Nice.
melee has all the things that brawl does and then hella lot more **** on top of that. it's just the deeper game hands down, that's why i enjoy playing it more than brawl. brawl takes mad skill tho, it just isn't the same hype monster in my own opinion. I agree, there are a lot of nubs who say stupid ****, but think of it through the eyes of a top melee player, brawl would just not add up to you. Melee is great, because it offers near limitless options to the player, brawl has a limiting factor to it that I just don't like. I hate being limited by the game, it's kinda why I don't like traditional fighters.I would not even say the skill set required between the two games is that drastically different, A LOT of things carry over and in between the two.
How followups work is largely the same. You read their DI/Air Dodge and space them accordingly. Obviously the followup potential is less in Brawl because of less hitstun, air dodges being safer etc. but it's not black and white. Tech chases are still here, as are landing traps, frame traps and more.
I think if more Melee players were open minded they'd realize a lot of the reasons they love Melee so much also apply to Brawl (I had one raging fanboy tell me Melee was so good because of what I said above not realizing all of that was still in Brawl), but they are too busy listening to the mob mentality and people that have clearly never played Brawl.
There are also countless new things to learn as well but from trying to reason with Melee players it seems like a lot of their preconcieved notions of Brawl are based off sheer ignorance.
I can get this, even more so from the traditional fighters standpoint.melee has all the things that brawl does and then hella lot more **** on top of that. it's just the deeper game hands down, that's why i enjoy playing it more than brawl. brawl takes mad skill tho, it just isn't the same hype monster in my own opinion.

This made me smile.The Melee community was more than happy seperating themselves from us before.
i prob. donated more for brawl than 99% of the brawl palyers lol.It's like you don't want our money or something.
Greatest post ever.The Melee community was more than happy seperating themselves from us before.
Oh look, prog talking sense.Rare prog post on the brawl boards.
I talk to Will (Broccoli Kong) fairly often, and I say this about Brawl. It's not my game, but I can definitely learn from it. It requires a different skill set that a lot of Melee players can learn from.
In terms of big events, ask Mike Haze what I've been promoting. I have a group of Melee players who are making videos to play on stream during downtime, to increase visibility/ knowledge of the game for first time viewers/show the history behind the game. Mike Haze is part of this group so he can create his own group for Brawl using us as a template. King Funk is part of this group so he can do the same for 64. IE is in the group, who knows if he'll be doing that for P:M when that is done.
We are all under the same umbrella, whether we like it or not. And of course, there are rifts. Talk to people who prefer Third Strike to SSF4:AE. Mention SFxT in the same breath as MvC2. However, there are people who want to unify, or at least realize that we are mentioned in the same breath. I'm trying to be an example, but its hard to break the indoctrinated beliefs that are deeply entrenched in so many people.
That being said, to all of you who have supported SSBM, thanks. To all of you who have supported SSBB, thanks as well.

But Melee DOESN'T have everything Brawl does, that's my point.melee has all the things that brawl does and then hella lot more **** on top of that. it's just the deeper game hands down, that's why i enjoy playing it more than brawl. brawl takes mad skill tho, it just isn't the same hype monster in my own opinion. I agree, there are a lot of nubs who say stupid ****, but think of it through the eyes of a top melee player, brawl would just not add up to you.
