Gameplay Question. Re: Combos

[Scrubs]

In every 'impressions of brawl' thread I read a common statement keeps popping up.

"Combos are hard or impossible in Brawl because of the lack of hit stun"

Why would Sakurai design a fighting game that does not involve combos??

Was it intentional, did he do it push the game in a certain direction?

Or is it that no one is skilled enough/the game hasn't been played enough for any combos to have been discovered yet.

i've seen a few combos in some videos and people are just learning the game. give it some time

There are fighting games like Street Fighter 2 where combos were like two hits like low meidum attack to that uppercut thing that Ryu does. It could be that or people aren't used to the new physics/don't know what combination of moves work best.

I have seen plenty of combos and combo potential so I wouldn't worry too much, but it is definitely possible (probable) that there is less combos than Melee.
