tell me if i'm missing some, but melee is a pretty balanced game, so deep there are ways around everything, brawl hasn't hit that point.
brawl bores me bcuz the technical aspect of the game doesn't exist, and doesn't seperate the noobs who are smart from the pros who have tech skill + smart unless your name is m2k.
To be honest, Melee is only balanced if you main a high/top tier character. People who play middle or lower are just people who want to be good at the game and try to defy the odds or want to be different. The technical aspect and the mindgames are what makes this game so complete though. Newbs will say that youre using glitches and
shit even though in Brawl there are a ton more stupider
shit (grab release kills, too many infinites, etc.). I dunno, I just like Melee too much maybe. Brawl requires less thought so I dont like it basically.
In Brawl all you gotta do is understand the mechanics and youre all set. You cant play ANY character you want and place well unless youre fighting nubs or something. Counter picks are so crazy its not even right. I agree with everything Yulai had to say about it. Also, the lack of tech skill makes it a very boring game in general. All the "advanced techs" only take minutes to learn perfectly and that's kinda weak. This game is only fun if youre in a good environment (like at Joker's) and if you take the game not so seriously (because there is nothing to be serious about).
Thought Id put even more of my cents on the subject since JBM brought it up.
Im not hating on Brawl, just stating why I dun like it which I dont think Ive ever posted before O.O
I guess Ill stop hating on Brawl a little less from here on out :'(
