Event matches should return (with Melee's difficulty!)

[Ting Sing]

I felt that the Event Matches in Melee were extremely fun and challenging compared to Brawl's (however I did like the inclusion of separate coop events)

But yes, does anyone agree that Melee's event matches were more challenging and enjoyable, and that they should return to Wii U / 3DS?

The Melee events certainly were more fun (and difficult). Plus some of the events had you fighting on exclusive stages, like Majora's Mask and the Goomba.

While I think events should be more difficult than in Brawl, they got kind of pointlessly difficult in Melee to the point where they stopped being fun at all.

Some of them were a bit ridiculous, like maybe Trouble King 2 or The Showdown, but the way I see it, the conditions of those events somewhat train you to handle things a certain way. But that's just me.

No, I thought Melee's event matches were much more easy. I did think they were more enjoyable, but much easier than their Brawl counter-parts. So Melee wins in the fun category.

Brawls felt challenging and boring and I didn't enjoy them at all.

Should they return? Yes. They are an important feature now, so naturally they should return.

I think it should be in between.

Most of Melee's Event challenges were insane. Most of Brawl's Event challenges were extremely easy.

I did not find any of Melee's event matches hard. Some of Brawl's were bit frustrating on hard like Event 25: The Aura is With Me.

I honestly think it was just because I was much better at Melee. Maybe the Event Matches were difficult, but I was much more skill as opposed to Brawl where they are easy but I suck. I agree with mygamecube though, something in between the two is probably a good idea. Considering that is the agenda of the game... we should be fine.

I honestly enjoyed the event matches more than I did the Traditional Classic arcade mode and Subspace Emissary. Seeing as how Story mode is cut, hopefully there will be twice as many Event Matches.

The length of story mode was actually cut? I thought that there was just no cutscenes or something.

I think all we know is that there won't be an adventure mode like the Subspace Emissary and cutscenes are being replaced by character introduction videos.

No, the notion of a story mode has been dismissed. There will be nothing akin to SSE in Smash 4.

Oh okay. Guess I missed that one.

Yeah, this is just the first article that came up if you were curious.

 

[Ting Sing]

Thanks for the article. Wow, I didn't think Sakurai would want Adventure mode cut completely. I would think that he would at least go back the the Melee-style adventure mode.. Oh well.

I always thought that the Melee ones were more unique, but some of them I could never get passed like the flipping yoshi egg one :L

Yeah, they should have the uniqueness of Melee's. but the difficulty inbetween Melee's and Brawls (moreso on the Melee side).

Like, say, an event where you fight a few lumas, but without the rosalina. Or maybe one where you're Toon Link on Spirit Train, and must get people off the train, launching them in the sky doesn't count, only if they die from being too far away from the train (guessing it's like Big Blue where if you fall onto the track, you can get offscreen'd to death).
