Brawl's never worth it.
It would be if Melee was also there and was the main event.

>_> I don't understand how Competitive Star Craft could be entertaining. Its just...I don't know how to say it...it just takes too long...and isn't really...well it isn't really fun to watch two people build things and then attack...kinda seems like a game that relies more on numbers than skill.

I thought this too, but after you watch the right matches you'll see it can be thouroughly entertaining. I despise watching dittos of any race in SC because they'll all boring as hell, but I LOVE watching Protoss vs. Zerg and to a lesser extent Protoss vs. Terran. I like seeing how fast these guys get their advanced units out and how quickly they have an army so I can incorporate some of what they do into my game (I'm horrible btw).

sc is amazing
though yes, it's thoroughly uninteresting if you don't have a pre-existing knowledge of the game

It takes much much more skill to be good at Starcraft then to be good at Melee. You can be mediocre at melee with fast fingers and no brain. There is so much strategy in Starcraft. I find starcraft vods to be more entertaining than most melee ones. Watching Starcraft feels more like a sport rather than watching Melee which feels more like a hobby.
I find some of the things they do to be fascinating. Just by seeing certain build orders, they can react exactly as they need to.

Mogwai has an awesome sig, look at those pelvic thrusts.
Edit: On SC vs melee, different skills. Zerg are bottom tier though, poor guys.

>_> Well, its a different game. StarCraft was built to have a brain to play well. If you need to plan out how to survive, it certainly wouldn't make much sense to run in there without thinking. Although back to what I said before, it just seems like a game built on numbers, and if you beat the opponent in terms of Units/Supplies/whatever else there is, than you've basically won unless the skill aspect is run by your opponent and he starts messing with said numbers.
p_q if you catch what I'm talking about.
That is what initially sparked my interest.
-DD
Its not all numbers. I have seen 3 marines take out 2 lurkers because of micro, which is just ********.

I sure do.
Yes, an RTS and a fighting game do require different skills, *high five*
Skler's right as of right now. The nice thing about SC is that the racial balance never seems to stay out of whack for long anymore. Don't worry, Jaedong will be back to cave everyone's skull in shortly.
EDIT:
DD, I don't catch what you're talking about at all, elaborate.

Impossible...
Exactly what I'm afraid of. I really do think the Zerg are slightly better than the other two races. God**** Mutas and Lurkers

Its kinda like what they say with the Arcade-Style fighters, about how once you get the first hit in, you can do the rest of the combo with your eyes closed.
I would think that with an RTS, you could build a strategy that would maximize the output of your Units/Goods/Materials, so theoretically you could just build a strategy and then with tiny variations[to deal with Races/Maps/Opponent Changes] you could probably monopolize everything in any situation.
Kinda like a science...just memorize and tinker with the numbers until you get the highest possible output.
I'm probably wrong, because I'm no RTS buff, but it seems like a logical flaw that could become an RTS game.

check out my youtube page and look at some recent favorites :D
i was never a savior fan, hence why his victory speech-->being ***** combo was funny to me. i really like effort, though. i think if there's any underdog zerg who can do anything, it'd be that alien. although everyone thought that about july and he ended up being a pretty big disappointment so...we'll see :Xsavior is washed up, he's not gonna make a comeback this year. If you play Zerg and your name is not Lee Jae Dong, you're gonna get *****
RTS takes more skill than any other type of of game. it's faster than fighting games at 300+ actions per minute, you have to constantly be reinventing your play, or playing conventional play flawlessly, and you have to correctly react to your opponent while keeping all of your abilities in check. i can't even begin to think that even if i could use all 60 of my frames per second perfectly, that i could handle doing it while reacting to my opponent.
i always think of zerg as sheik. you can win really cheaply if you're not skilled, but in the top game they are not as dominant. there is, however, always one zerg/sheik ****** everyone at one given time or another. marth is P and fox is T, lol.

edit: to clarify, m2k, your attempt at being a jerk for attention is pathetic. not to mention because of your ignorance in starcraft, you didn't even comprehend what i said, which was correct, and look like a ****** because of it.
in SC, out of the top 30 players or so, only like 5 of them are zergs. 10ish protoss who are ranked pretty high, and terran fill out that list.
just looking at foxes, marths, and sheiks, the top 30 melee players can be said to have a ton of foxes filling out the lists. way more than sheiks. or if you think that's wrong, and i don't know what i'm talking about as you put it, keep sticking your hello kitty shoe in your mouth and see how far you can stick it in until you stop getting attention.
that's all from me :D time to go read.

wtf no, zerg is not easy at the low levels at all
mediocre zergs get MASSACRED by mediocre terrans for free

On that note, Zerg are Fox, Terran are Marth and Toss are Sheik

I'm trying really hard to ignore this... but I might just hulk out and falcon punch you through the internet XD
edit: I'm going to go ahead and say M2K just thinks Sheik is the best char in melee (he's said this alot) and that's why he took offense.
