Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
don't worry algandar ,i have a feeling that the ppl that were willing to wait for the us version of brawl will be greatly rewarded ,i don't know how but i just know,patience is a virtue .
maybe... you never know what to expect with nintendoYea maybe the US version will have extra features or something
It could be, but the competitive scene will no doubt suffer in Brawl, if that's correct. People just loved the fast-paceing in Melee, but the slower pace in Brawl might bring some more new combos and techniques into the scene. It will just take time before we know the true answer.
dont get ahead of yourself lolThanks for the videos. I found them to be rather interesting to watch because I was asking myself the whole time, "What would I do in that situation?" The types of attacks that you chose to perform and the way you fought your opponents ended up matching my predictions, so I guess I can see these videos as a sort of preview of myself playing Brawl which is pretty cool.
so u were expecting melee part2, tough luck. i think the game is great for all those reasons u stated. it´s floatier? that sounds like some awesome aerial fights. but hey that´s just me
Alright, I probably should have added this in my reasons as to why Brawl will not be as competetive as melee, but catching projectiles in this game is waaaaayyy too easy. In melee, I used bombs all the time. In matches against Fox and Falco it was pretty much the only projectile I used since after pulling it, it had no lag after throwing it and I could attack right away. Fox was too fast for the rang while Falco shot lasers before the rang came out. Now in brawl, here's what happens: YOU CAN CATCH PROJECTILES WITH ANY MOVE!!!!!!, except b moves. So if you're Link with a bomb and throw it, there's a really good chance the opponent will catch it, even if it's by accident. now that wouldn't be all that bad since you can just as easily catch it back but for Link this creates problems. Because Link is spamming with b moves, he would have more trouble catching the bomb and would have to change his playstyle for a moment just to catch it, by which time it would probably blow up anyways. If you continue spamming it would still be a problem because the opponent would have less lag after throwing the bomb compared to the rang and bow meaning they would have a better chance of landing a hit if the projectiles weapon canceled. Over all, the bomb is just a hindrance in this game. Bow is a bit different, but essentially replaces the bomb. It has a bit more ending lag, but is much faster overall since you don't have to pull an arrow to use it lol. By keeping a rang out there with a continuous barrage of arrows, it's really hard for an opponent to approach Link. One thing I should also start doing more is the aerial hook shot for an attack since that's all it's good for now. As the opponent get's through, you can aerial hook shot to a dash attack for a combo starter and from there you can get whatever the closest things to combos there are in this game. I think the no lag thing on Link's hook shot was put in to make up for the fact that he can't cancel his dash-attack into an u-smash. I guess you could consider the hook shot a projectile, or a really long sword.VersatileBJN said:
Nah, Eggz just needs more time with the game. I've played a few more times than he had. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't reflect projectiles any more with power shielding. He should have been using the cape more but he was still trying to use him like melee Mario and using the cape in that game was near useless so he didn't think too much of it.magnomanX said:
1. People played as Samus, Luigi, and Marth just fine in Melee.
1. Yeah, but those characters were played differently than others. Luigi, unlike other characters, rarely, if ever, used his dash. He relied soley on wave dashing for movement and with wave dashing was one of the fastest characters in the game based on ground speed. Samus also relied heavily on wave dashing and used missles and ground based attacks along with ccing for most of her game play. Marth, again heavily relied on the wave dash and was still fast for being floaty because he could pull double aerials in a short hop like Luigi. These were also some of the harder characters to combo in the game. They also had good combos on other characters like Fox. Now if everyone was floaty, no one can combo anyone and the game becomes a pointless match of trading hits.
.Link really can't edge guard any more. You can sometimes jump out an attack an opponent with a f-air, but characters can just air dodge when you get close. The gale boomerang can sometimes pull people off the edge when they're trying to edge guard you though.Gahlo said:
I don't know what the creators were thinking when they gave Link his d-tilt spike. Due to the auto sweet spot it never hits. The only time it works is when the opponent is starts theyre up-b too early while they're near the sweet spot and over shoot it. Unless the player hasn't really played before, it almost never happens.Gahlo said:
