Writing for my gaming blog for about 2 1/2 years, I've studied game design and the language used to describe games with more zeal than pursuing my English degree. Throughout my blog, I frequently refer to two game series as foundational examples of quality game design. One is Super Mario Bros (NES) an the other is the Smash series (mainly Melee and Brawl). So naturally, I turn to smashboards and the community here for help.
The long term plan is to get to the bottom of the whole Brawl vs. Melee issue. And by "bottom" I simply mean being able to understand and explain exactly how different the two games are and what makes them different. This is a lot more complicated than it may seem. I believe there's a lot to learn for all smashers and even non-smashers and that clear communication comes from a clear language. So that's where you come in.
BRAWL VS. MELEE SURVEY
That link takes you to the short survey where you can submit your answers to the database. Share the link with all the smashers you know.
I'm also thinking about producing a podcast or video of the final results. I can only get there with your help.
Feel free to ask questions about the project and repost your responses to keep the thread alive.
Thanks
UPDATE. THE RESULTS WILL BE PRESENTED IN A SERIES OF WEBISODES.
