FGC analogies

[Vkrm]

Street fighter is actually pretty good though.

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

Hi, president of my university fencing club here.

There are three weapon types in fencing, all drastically different. There's:

Foil - Most competitive. Rewards individual play styles. Balance of aggression and defense; rewards intelligence + technique.
Sabre - Highly aggressive. First one to advance and touch usually gets the point. Rewards speed + reflexes.
Épée - Highly defensive. Matches very often go to timeout.
Rewards patience + endurance.

Basically.

You could easily separate each Smash game by each fencing weapon.

I mainly fence sabre, for the record. A bit of foil.

 

[Lovage]

LOL you fence sabre?

alright so basically ur just a HS compet. noob right? i'd like to see ur broke *** in the olympics someday lmao

fencing died with the last great foiler

 

[Archangel]

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

Nope, Millions still watch it(Boxing) just a select few that use to watch it do to ______ no longer watch it. Could be the same as Marvel in some ways actually lol.

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.)

Project M is more like Dragonball Z Kai(cut out filler **** = buffing low tiers) as well as a complete rewriting of GT so that it's on par with the best of DBZ. because GT had alot of interesting characters but the executions sucked *** and it was by no means a worthy sequel to DBZ so GT is undoubtedly Brawl .

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

Brawl isn't Dodgeball it's more like 2 snipers on opposite sides of the map and refusing to move...except it's not in CoD it's in a fighting game.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

First sentence, friend. University club.

 

[Little England]

Melee is Google Chrome
P:M is Firefox
Brawl is Internet Explorer

 

[CableCho57]

melee is Rocky

brawl is Rocky V

P:M is Rocky Balboa

I guess smash64 could be Chuck Wepner

 

[King Funk]

This thread is stupid.

 

[Bones0]

Melee is Google Chrome
P:M is Firefox
Brawl is Internet Explorer

^Definitely my favorite so far. lol


Melee is Eminem
P:M is Lil B
barlw is Lil Wayne

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Melee is the NHL in the 80's
Brawl is the dead puck era

 

[PGH Carroll]

Melee is gay
Brawl is gay
My dads are gay.

Sabre - Highly aggressive. First one to advance and touch usually gets the point. Rewards speed + reflexes.

I guess this one, the analogy was that first contact gets the point.

 

[Melomaniacal]

I guess this one, the analogy was that first contact gets the point.

Yeah, I agree.
High level foil and épée is almost all second/third-intention. Meaning, you never go in with an attack expecting it to be the thing that gets you the point. It's almost always baiting an attack or reaction so you can parry/riposte. Not to mention that in épée there is no right-of-way, so if both players touch each other, they both get a point.

In sabre, it's extremely difficult to get a clean parry/riposte, as any well-executed attack will almost always touch even if the blades do make contact. Thus, it's much more rewarding to be the first to attack in order to gain right-of-way.

To put it simply.

Sorry for the tangent.

 

[NalsXR]

Melee is Google Chrome
P:M is Firefox
Brawl is Internet Explorer

no PSASBR is Google Chrome because it's shameless

 

[Biz_R_0]

PSASBR is IE because it's unbelievably slow and it takes forever to execute anything.

64 is Counter Strike
Melee is TFC
Brawl is TF2 (pre 2012 when it was good)

Foilist, and I'm still very much alive

foil = smash 64; good, takes actual skill

sabre = melee, heterosexual as **** and awesome but not as cool as foil/64

epee = brawl, boring and lame to watch and do and takes no skill

 

[King Funk]

Epee isn't that boring. You can hit wherever you want, gives you more options. It is a lot slower paced though.

But said it once, will say it again, this thread is really dumb and should be locked.

 

[Strong Badam]

64 is a really bad competitive game. Probably almost as bad as Brawl, just a lot more entertaining.

 

[King Funk]

64 is a really bad competitive game.

It's not a bad competitive game (well maybe it is with Hyrule allowed).

It's just an extremely cheap game.

 

[Battlecow]

You don't know what you're talking about bro

I mean if you wanna have this discussion we can but you should realize that I know--KNOW--in advance that you're wrong in serious, fundamental ways. Have you ever been in an argument like that? Where you know for a fact that you're about nine steps ahead of the other guy and it's just kind of boring even chopping your points up to the point where he can digest them? Do yourself a favor and sit this one out. If someone who had like played 64 or was really good at melee said this I'd have to hash it out, but I shouldn't here.

Epee's a fine sport I just hate it because everything about it is like foil-lite. Much less strenuous physically, you can get away with a lot less finesse and still be OK.

 

[Melomaniacal]

Let's just make this the fencing discussion thread. It didn't work when I made one in the pool room, but this works.

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

Hey is fencing something that takes a lot of money to start doing/something you have to start at a hella young age?

It sounds really sick lol

 

[Melomaniacal]

I guess it depends on your goals. If you're looking to go to the Olympics, you're probably too late to start, haha. Otherwise, you're never too young to start. Look for a local fencing club/school and see what they charge. They'll usually provide gear.

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

Cool! Which type of weapon is the most Falco-like? LOL

 

[Lovage]

king funk what are u so mad about

 

[The Star King]

It's just an extremely cheap game.

Most characters are not "cheap" either... lol Falcon mains

 

[King Funk]

king funk what are u so mad about

Just not too sure what the point of this thread is. All it does is bring a whole bunch of random people to make silly analogies about games they don't even play/understand.

But oh well, Melee boards as always.

 

[The Star King]

It's just for fun you scrub, goddamn not everything needs to be super serious... love you

 

[King Funk]

It's just for fun you scrub, goddamn not everything needs to be super serious. <3 you

I don't have fun reading ignorant opinions.

Meh, don't mind me guys I'm grumpy.

 

[Lovage]

yea i know you can't "tell" what the point is

thats why you keep coming in and derailing everything

k NOW please delete the thread

some swedish ****rag just spoiled the entire thing now im gonna uninstalll life

No need to delete this thread, **** it. Do whatever you want.

Ok hot shot, I'll humor you.

Tell us why smash 64 is a good/great competitive game.

 

[Little England]

With the widely accepted inclusion of Hyrule Temple, 64 becomes a bad competitive game almost more prone to camping than Brawl. The only neutral stages are Dreamland and maybe Peaches Castle and Kongo Jungle.

 

[King Funk]

What does a game need to be good or great competitively? Please define that.

 

[Deleted member]

it isn't, people who like 64 as a competitive game like lame, campy, bad stages, no-timer, no-skill to kill games then say its "competitive"

to compare it to street fighter 2 is ****ing awful because that is one of the hardest fighting games while 64 is VERY easy. sf2 is also fundamentally twice as quick and requires a lot of difficult links while smash 64 tests how to up-smash up-air 7 times as falcon to up-b

64 is a great casual game though. playing non-campy char battles, like link/samus dittos are really fun

==

ON TOPIC ANALOGIES:

melee = starcraft 1 = street fighter 3 = counter-strike 1.5-1.6 = marvel 2

BRAWL= starcraft 2 = street fighter 4 = counter-strike SOURCE

 

[JPOBS]

A lot of things.

I just ant to have a discussion on the state of the game. Since battleco is so sure of himself, he must have a lot to say on the topic.

I'm not hating on 64, I'm igniting a hopefully informative discussion.
