FGC analogies

[Lovage]

melee is MMA/UFC, marvel is boxing







edit2:

brawl is chess. melee is speed-chess on a short timer.

 

[Strong Badam]

calling brawl chess is a huge insult to chess

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

marvel is more like krav maga than boxing.

ssb64 is boxing.

brawl is checkers without kings.

 

[KanyeRest]

if marvel is boxing, that would mean nobody watches it anymore

 

[Beat!]

[KrIsP!]

Melee is saiyan saga DBz, marvel is buu saga DBz...brawl is gt

 

[Vkrm]

Melee is saiyan saga DBz, marvel is buy saga DBz...brawl is gt

What's pm? Garlic jr saga? Would be cool to make this a brawl bashing thread.

 

[KrIsP!]

Pm is more Yo! Son Goku and friends return. Trying to fix gt by going back to the DBz age with better animations which was awesome even though it was pointless and the damage had been done.



Edit: btw I am in no way brawl bashing. Some people felt gt was better directed and liked the more modern animation without the huge, over the top fight scenes and total advantage over an opponent with the tables turning very quickly. Everyone else disagrees wholeheartedly though. (see why DBz works well for smash?)

 

[Skler]

calling brawl chess is a huge insult to chess

I concur. As somebody who played chess at a competitive level for a VERY SHORT TIME, this is a slap in the face, with a Brawlcock.

 

[The Irish Mafia]

marvel is neuclear war because I always see the two sides shooting missiles at each other

 

[t3h Icy]

Melee is Melee Falco.
Marvel is Melee Fox.
Smash 64 is Melee Falcon.
Brawl is Melee Jigglypuff.
PM is Axe's Pikachu.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

As someone who first board for his high school chess, I find it very appropriate for Brawl.

Marvel is like watching paint dry.

Melee is speed chess or bughouse.

 

[Melomaniacal]

Melee is chess, 64 is rock-paper-scissors, Brawl is dodgeball.

 

[Lovage]

wow dude, it's not like this thread was designed to get the chess heads MAD or anything

 

[1000g2g3g4g800999]

Everyone enjoying the world's end so far?

 

[Doser]

Melee is Melee Falco.
Marvel is Melee Fox.
Smash 64 is Melee Falcon.
Brawl is Melee Jigglypuff.
PM is Axe's Pikachu.

This is the best so far.

 

[Dron]

I see I'm already too late for the Brawl jokes

[Lovage]

The moment I saw the Chess analogy I was like

 

[Vkrm]

How do I spam tornado in chess? I consider brawlers my smash brethren, but I'm really not impressed by top level brawl play. I think it takes more intelligence to play melee at a high level.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

samus is nothing like strider

also clock is the only person in the world with a good strider. not really a good example imo.

 

[MaskedMarth]

Tornado -> Petrov's Defense?

 

[Lovage]

How do I spam tornado in chess? I consider brawlers my smash brethren, but I'm really not impressed by top level brawl play. I think it takes more intelligence to play melee at a high level.

i disagree, they both take the same mental capacity and growth to get good at



but one is faster

 

[Vkrm]

Hmmm..... I don't know man. The brawl neutral game is really stiff without enough ways to trick the opponent into doing something stupid.

Nevermind. You're actually good at melee. Maybe I don't know as much as I think I do.

 

[VietGeek]

i find it fairly amusing that the only fighting games mentioned here have been the marvel games.

obv

 

[felipe_9595]

64 is Marvel
Melee is Marvel 2
Brawl is the original Street Fighter

EDIT: In fact even the original street fighter had 0 to death combos, so brawl is Power Stone.

 

[Vkrm]

I thought power stone was power stone.

 

[Lovage]

brawl is street fighter 1 if you ask me, melee is MVC3

 

[Strong Badam]

imo comparing melee to a traditional fighter is really insulting to melee
it has comparable hype though

 

[Lovage]

well i really love watching all the games on twitch.tv

it's just it just makes sense to focus on 1 at a time, yknow

dont worry once guilty gear AC+R comes out on xbox live we OUT

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I never got the appeal of MvC3, even more after the changes in UMvC3. The series just doesn't look appealing to watch nor play anymore.

Blazblue, Street Fighter, Touhou, Melty Blood, Persona 4, Guilty Gear, I see the appeal and like watching it, the MvC series as a whole just isn't entertaining to me anymore.

That kind of analogy doesn't really fit with me, tbh.

 

[Atlus8]

Melee is DBZ!
Brawl is DBGT!

It has ok stuff, but you just know that it could have been better!

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

Melee is MvC2.
Brawl is MvC3.

Don't lump the Marvel games together.

 

[KrIsP!]

When did the thread title turn to apologies?
Edit:
Now Lovage is ****ing with me, it definitely said FGC apologies before.

 

[Atlus8]

I wouldn't match up Brawl and MvC3! I do think MvC3 is pretty good!

Melee is Third Strike!
Brawl is Street Fighter 4!

 

[Biz_R_0]

Brawl is tennis, Melee is air hockey, 64 is fencing.

Melee is Third Strike!
Brawl is Street Fighter 4!

And 64 is SFII. I've been telling people this for a while now.

even tho i know nothing about mvc2, i still love this video

it would be epic to have something like this at apex

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

I wouldn't match up Brawl and MvC3! I do think MvC3 is pretty good!

Melee is Third Strike!
Brawl is Street Fighter 4!

MvC3 isn't bad, MvC2's just a lot better. The analogy makes more sense when you think about it history wise, competitive Melee wasn't supposed to exist and MvC2 was supposed to end up like a MUGEN cluster**** but somehow both of them ended up with a lot of competitive depth and lasted 10+ years.

Maybe Melee is MvC2, Brawl- is MvC3, and Project M is Skullgirls.

Best analogy so far
