Brawl easy or difficult to play?

[Damage Points]

Ok everyone says SF is hard to pick up if you never played it before. What do you guys think about Brawl tho. Lets say someone is brandnew to the series and just starting off for the first time. do you guys think its a game just anyone can pick up, or its a game that you have to work at in order to get better. Do you consider it a noobish fighting/platform fighter?

Depends on how long it takes them to acknowledge the gay, learn spacing, or learning how good the character they main is.

Brawl is ridiculously easy to pick up for a fighting game. It's perfect for being someone's first "competitive" game.

its not as hard as melee, but its still a huge challenge if you want to become extremly good at it. But still not as much ATs as in melee, it relies more on mindgames/gayness and if you main meta or not.

its not as hard as say... Gunz online, but it takes time to learn the basics of a fighter game and brawl is no different

Pretty much. A lot of it is just reacting and mindgames, once you get down the basics you can develop those through practice.

its pretty good to pick up, start playing and feel like you're doing good cause you can beat your friends XD
but it gets tougher the more competitive it gets up into the tourneys
same with any fighter really, i'd say its even with traditional fighters though cause while it doesnt have all the tech skill or combo's stage know how and picking makes a difference unlike normal fighters

Insanely easy to get into, insanely difficult to master.

Bull****.

New top players were popping up within the first year of brawl without ever having a shred of practice in Melee. This game's relatively average/easy to master, too. You just need a good sense of spacing, prediction, and/or Meta Knight.

Goldenadapt has it perfectly, pretty much.

Easy to pick up, relatively difficult to master. I'm a melee***, but I've looked into Brawl's shenanigans. I figured it relatively shallow, and I've heard a lot of **** talk about it, but one of brawl's finest *m2k* ***** slapped me with the truth a few days ago.

Paraphrasing: "Brawl seems shallow, but is way deeper on a mental level than a lot of people will ever get to." I'm not one to disagree with someone a million times better than me, so I'm sticking with that.

the smash series is my first fighter game. The only one too probably, I did get my fair share of street fighter, but not too much of it (2 games every few minutes using alot of characters)


Smash is really easy to get into, but for me, it stumps me when I get into deep ATs. Some you have to practice ALOT, and some are gay and don't need practice.

Brawl is hard, man the amount of patience you need to play it is ridiculous

After you mentioned that it kind of reminded me of a Chess/Checkers match but not on a totally balanced level.

i have never heard of the "top players" you are are referring too. who are the ones that did not play melee before brawl came out? Not saying your are wrong, just curious.

edit: kanelol and ubermario pretty much got it down.

 

[$Lil' Gerald Is In Dat Style$]

Eh, Brawl is easy to pick up, of course some ppl is gonna start w/ items, learn how to recover and all that other stuff, but then they can get better w/o items. It'll take them a while to get better, it can't be that hard @ all. When it comes to competition, that's the time to step it up, practice, and take it to the next lvl if they want play Smash all day every day and want to focus on their main/mains.

Or any Korean game for that matter.

Or any Korean game for that matter.

difference between Gunz and brawl is that Gunz takes alot of (and pretty much only) tech skill, reading isnt necessary, just convenient, brawl takes alot of mental skill, which i am kinda lacking -.-

 

[UltraPuff]

It's relatively easy to get the basics down, but overall the most difficult part is learning to read your opponent and knowing the characters.
