Is brawl dead considering the sm4sh scene is growing really quickly? Or is there some revival of brawl going on? I was just wondering because I'd think it would be incredibly sad if that would be the case.

Yeah but personally I don't feel like wasting my money to buy a Wii U even if I could afford it. In actuality, I can probably afford it right now, but I don't feel like buying a Wii U because I don't think it is worth my money. I am already satisfied with the three consoles I already own: the Gamecube, Wii and PS3. I am 25 years old, and I think I am a bit too old for most video games. I already played Nintendo video games extensively while I was younger. I started playing Nintendo games when I was 9 years old back in 1999 with Pokemon Red and Yellow on the Gameboy Color. And I played numerous Nintendo games on the GBC, GBA, Nintendo DS, Gamecube and Wii (like Mario, Wario, Super Smash Bros, Donkey Kong and Zelda). I don't want to offend anyone here, but I am already a bit bored with Nintendo games. I am bored with console gaming overall. Ever since 2012, I became more and more inclined in playing PC games like Star Craft, Counter Strike, Warcraft 3, and Team Fortress 2.But thaat will change once the prices drop, so then that agrument loses its power over time right
Ok so in your case that makes sense, but still that doesn't change it for others that aren't in the same boat as you.

My primary gaming device is my laptop, which is quite powerful. To be honest, I think my PS3 was a waste of money since I rarely play it (none of the games are truly epic, IMO) . I do play some games on my PS3 like Tales of Graces f, Tales of Xillia, Kill Zone 1-3, God of War 1-3, Metal Gear Solid 4 and etc but none of those games are truly epic. And I already beaten most of my Wii games. I don't feel like selling my Wii or PS3 because I am unlikely to get very much money for them. And my Gamecube has been collecting dust for the past five years until a few days ago I started playing it again.
So in short, I have little use for the three consoles I already own, and the portable gaming devices that I own (PSP, 3DS, DS, GBA and GBC) are also collecting dust. About the only electronic device I can't live without is my laptop because I use it for work (I share it with my other family members too) and other things. I can live without my video game consoles, cellphone and TV. No need for them.
I am sure you can find other people who don't want to get the current generation consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U), and would rather stick to last generation console games ( Wii, PS3, XBox 360). It is not just a matter of being able to afford it or not. It is a matter of whether you are interested in throwing a lot of money at video games anymore. Personally, I am not that interested in throwing a ton of money at video games anymore since I already blew away most of my allowance and income on video games in middle and high school and university. I still buy games occasionally. For example, I recently bought Dark Souls, Dead Island, Final Fantasy X-1/X-2 HD Remaster and Tales of Xillia for my PS3. I enjoy the games, but I personally don't need to play anymore Nintendo games because I am already a bit bored of them (no offense to anyone who still likes buying new Nintendo games). I still occasionally play some Nintendo games I own. The most recent console I bought was the 3DS, but technically my sister owns it. And she has two games on it: Tales of Abyss and some Zelda game (I can't remember which one).Ok so in your case that makes sense, but still that doesn't change it for others that aren't in the same boat as you.

First of all: this set is incredibly sad and indeed is notable as one of the deepest points of competative brawl. That being said, you are dealing with an M2K game here. I mean that literally disposes with all the ethics or unwritten rules that make a game of brawl attractive. If other players are doing this too, you got a point.this set represents everything that screwed up with brawl.
Except M2K was the only one who did anything remotely interesting that set.First of all: this set is incredibly sad and indeed is notable as one of the deepest points of competative brawl.

But still it's strange that one of the two people was M2K and this set is crowned as the saddest one of all. On another note, Meta Knight is a character that should take the initiative in this matchup instead of the Icees. I just want to say that I have a lot of respect for M2K but it's a bit stupid this set.Except M2K was the only one who did anything remotely interesting that set.
Since the Icees pretty much want to go for ze chaingrabs and other stupid camping tacticks. MK is just special-moving all over the place with not much risk attached. If I were any of the two characters in this MU, I'd play a defensive Icees but an offensive (or at least a more offensive/less defensive) MK.Why should MK take the initiative instead of the Icies?
Totally agree with the first part about a game never dying, don't really agree with the last part about Sm4sh>Brawl but that's just opinion.I love how everything I predicted about this game came to pass.
Guys, a game never fully dies. Take the individual effort to connect with other brawl players, host weeklies, do what it takes to bring brawl back. Because although I don't like it, it's way better than smash4!
Dude... you quoted my post. I said I like Brawl better than Smash 4... wtf.Totally agree with the first part about a game never dying, don't really agree with the last part about Sm4sh>Brawl but that's just opinion.
This statement is so incorrect! Also that match between us was literally a joke we were pulling vs. each other. People took it to the next level.Brawl is dead because the only way to win (at really high level at least) is to play REALLY, REALLY defensively. Watch M2K vs. Nakat at Crossfire 3.
Some matches in Brawl are pretty entertaining sometimes (European Brawl for example, Leon <3), but at high level... It's just completely boring.
Yes. In my opinion, Brawl is more fast paced than SSB4. Especially when customs are on in SSB4.This statement is so incorrect! Also that match between us was literally a joke we were pulling vs. each other. People took it to the next level.
So, in this case, is playing Brawl more offensively or defensively a better idea?This statement is so incorrect! Also that match between us was literally a joke we were pulling vs. each other. People took it to the next level.
