I was being facetious, Umbreon. Hence the teeny text. I have no beef with noirscythe whatsoever. I actually enjoy his posts a lot, much like I enjoy (most of) yours.
This thread was amazing until like page 5. Melee is the better game competitively and there is nothing you can do about it. However Melee being better competitively doesn't mean Brawl is uncompetitive, just less competitive. I can understand the hate though, if I had started from Melee, I would never ever touch Brawl, ever.
Oh and just to point out that in Melee powershield is actually easier(4 frames compared to 3) than in Brawl and the hitstun is the same, you can just cancel it in Brawl with certain actions(that are predictable because the actions are rather limited). I am totally fine with you hating on Brawl and I no longer take it personally, I play both and I think I know very well about both games and their pros and cons. But please stop using such arguments that are not true, like the powershield thing.
There is no need to objectively explain why you dislike something. We dislike things because we don't like them, not because one is competitively better or worse.
I would really like to see the Brawl and Melee community accept their differences and start acting together. It would make the community much bigger, the tourneys much bigger and everything would be better, if only you could accept it.
I dont really agree that Melee should be called more competitive. As you even said, each game has its pros and cons, and as its already been stated, Melee just seems to be a spectator sport that more people generally enjoy viewing. The communities really do need to bond together though, even if you dislike one game, theres no point in bashing it/spreading hate, it really accomplishes nothing, and you basically just look like a moron too. We could vault ourselves forward so many steps if people would just get along.
i kind of agree with him. i don't think you need to explain the reasoning behind your preferences to legitimize avoidance of verbal harassment, which is basically the issue of this thread. like, why? so if we don't like your rationale, we feel justified to continue to attack you? seems bad IMO
How are we defining competitive? Melee is definitely a better outlet for competition I think. Playing brawl effectively boils down to fighting as little as possible because of its random nature.
