Brawl. For casual play, or for competition?

[slimpyman]

who really cares about how one another feels about the games play style intended???? when i found out about competetive melee, people were already better than me, so i still had fun talkin crap, and beating everyone i have ever played. in brawl, i predict i am god, and than i will be better than everyone. myself included

 

[Coselm]

Well obviously I am going to play the game for fun.

But there is nothing wrong with a little friendly competition, especially if you have fun doing so.

 

[Sandwich]

Well, if you don't like brawl you shouldn't exist in the first place, for it is grand.
But why not both?
The problem with this forum sometimes is that people see in black and white. :/

 

[slimpyman]

thats sick >_<

 

[Crevelyan]

How many of you actually read the original post?

 

[Thunderslf]

Both Melee and Brawl weren't made with competition in mind, but can be played both ways reguardless.

 

[Requiem]

I prefer just for fun. Competitiveness is good, but sometimes things can go overboard. Plus all the technicalities can be a little too much for a game like Brawl.

It's just a game, so just have fun any way you want.

QQQQQQQuuuooooted for truuuuth!!

I think either the OP needs to change the title, or people need to stop jumping the gun at every "controversial" thread.

How is the competitive scene NOT fun? Personally, smash wouldn't be the same to me without it.

Brawl. For fun, or for competition?

What kind of question is that?

 

[Puddin Master]

I'm definitely playing for fun.

 

[Eaode]

Uh... It's a Video Game. If I weren't playing for fun, I wouldn't be playing.

Whether or not that is true, it IS being played that way. Just go to accept that the game can go either way. That is why the game has so many features.

that's how i feel. i tend to be pretty competitive, so i have more fun competing than anything else. that's my definition of fun.

 

[GoldenS1104]

It isn't fun vs. competitive. It's non-competitive vs. competitive. They're are two different ways of playing the game. Some people find non-competitive playing fun, but I find competitive play fun. People wouldn't play smash competitively if it weren't fun. This is why people who never turn items off and rarely play final destination look down upon the competitive seen... cause they fail to realize that we have fun in our own way.

 

[Bish]

Competition is like the point of this game, unless you're buying it for the SSE, and in that case lol.

 

[G-X]

We should have had the option of playing non-competitively OR competitively. But, uh oh, Sakurai ****ed that up too by making you trip and fall for no **** reason.

 

[MewDorf]

Who cares anymore? Honestly, this thread is going nowhere.

Get bent. The game can be played any way you like.

 

[TomatoGod]

How can you choose? All games are played for fun, if youre not having fun playing the game, why are you still playing it? And as a multiplayer fighting game it is competetive ALWAYS. Everyone is a competitor in smash bros.

Everyone who will play the game will play it for the fun, it shouldnt matter if they play it casually with friends or against tournament opponents, we all smash for fun.

 

[MewDorf]

They seriously just closed a thread very similar to this one, so say what needs to be said then end it.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Who cares! Its not like you cant do both or anything.

 

[pdk]

they aren't mutually exclusive you goons, come on already

plus "THAT'S NOT HOW ITS INTENDED TO BE PLAYED" is bull**** whichever side of the issue you're on; you all are the ones playing the game so you can play it however the hell you want without having to get your panties in a bunch over what THE MYSTICAL DEVELOPERS who you'll never once meet in your life would think about it, hell you can play it with your tv upside down and it woudlnt matter

man let's all just forget melee or brawl or 3rd strike or whatever and play the fighter of champions, kof98

god **** i am out of it right now, guess that's what posting at 3 am with insomnia thanks to a cold does to ya; god only knows any other reason i'd post here (though kof98 still stomps all your ***** any day)

[SeriousWB]

MewDorf you've posted the exact same message twice now.

 

[Moldy Clay]

I play neither strictly.

I play for fun. But I play competitively against some of my friends.

We also play some strange mixed.. things... which are competitive, but free for all. So it's like... a weird hybrid. No items, Final Destination, 4 people beating each other. We all hate teams because we hate each other and want to be better than each other, and most of the time only two good players are ever playing and it is basically a game of "kill the two who suck, and then kill each other".

I don't go to actual competitions, simply because I don't have the money or transportation for it at this point. However, this is why I love the online. I want to play new people.

 

[MewDorf]

I know sorry, it keeps lagging when i click the post button. Sorry about that guys.

 

[MFZ95]

However if this means that your friend is thrashing you in the game,i go for the competitive side!

 

[Zant3tsuken]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I figure I'll be playing Brawl strictly for fun and staying away from the competitive scene. The only problem I hope I don't face, as I do in Melee, is that even though I want to play for fun, it still irritates me when I lose almost all of my matches, even when I've practiced.

I haven't really been keeping up to date on all the latest Brawl videos and tech findings. Am I going to be facing this same problem when I finally get the game next month?

Short answer, yes.

Slightly less short answer, losing is learning. This is how competitive players work.

Probably. But I'd still recommend learning some of the new things. Competitive play can be just as fun as non competitive. You could play with friends who go to tournaments and never play yourself and have just as much (if not more) fun than you would other wise.

 

[squarez]

It's crazy how some people think competition can't also be fun.

 

[MewDorf]

I know right? Its a game, there will most likely be competition.
