Yeah, you're right.
Best post I have seen in a long time aside from Phish-its Broken Ivan Ooze post haha
Throw issue-Movement is a lot more free in Melee...its easier to avoid throws. You can also play close to the edge if you are afraid of getting grabbed across the stage.
Jigglypuff issue-Dont go off the stage then and dont get to close...once again spacing takes care of this issue.
You're right...Brawl is a completely different game that revolves around defense A.K.A-Camping. Do you know why you have a better Falco then Marth and you do not use him anymore? Because Falco camps better than Marth. (No offense, thats how the game is played though...so no biggie) You're entire strategy revolves around you standing still waiting for someone to attack you and then sidestep and punish. If they try to space their attacks you just down B. You probably attacked me a grand total of maybe six times during our tournament match. No offense dude....you definitely camp. No johns...you won and you beat me. I'm just sick of playing a game that means absolutely nothing and does not allow me to develop as a player. Brawl takes two days to pickup and look like a solid player where as Melee takes so much time and is a constant learning process. You can do so much in that game and the accomplishment of winning a match in Melee is much greater than that of Brawl. Maybe you have not given Melee enough time to see the greatness in it or played with enough people to see just what amazing things you can do in that game. I was at Alex's house a couple of months back pretty much every Friday and him, Brookman, and I would play both Brawl and Melee. We'd play Brawl for about a solid hour and then the rest of the night just play Melee for about a good 5-6 hours (with food breaks) After playing with really good people (Khaly, Charlie, Zoso, and SEXY as well) I started to realize that Brawl is just the slowest most boring game known to man that was in NO WAY meant to be a competitive game. The concept of a story line, flying characters, "four ways to play!" slowing the game down, less hit sun, multiple air dodges, auto-sweet spotting just scream to me that the game was in no way meant to be competitive. The reason that I was drawn to the top tier characters such as GAW, MK, and Snake was because they are the best characters to hault the games traditional way to play it. I have asked numerous smashers in CT what game they felt was better and at least a good 85% said Melee. There were a few that said Brawl...not going to hide data or anything. Most of the people who are playing Brawl now are playing it because "everyone else is playing it and its the new tournament game." Brawl is a fad and will fade in time because people will begin to get bored of it just like the Nintendo Wii system as a whole.
I Like Brawl but I dont like HOW the game is played. If the defensive system of the game wasnt so broken I'd still be playing it.
Yeah, im done...
