First, I never said that Brawl DIDN'T have glitches. Sure, it has LOADS of glitches. I simply said it hadn't been glitch-*****. That is, people exploiting programming errors to totally alter the style of play into something it never should have been.
Dash dancing is still here, yes...it's just unreliable to use now, because TRIPPING can activate on you out of nowhere. Nobody said that tripping was an EFFECTIVE counter against dash dancing...but that's why it's there.
Then again, perhaps "glitch" is the wrong word...both dash-dancing and wavedashing are simply flaws in the programming that the creators failed to catch, and surely would have been removed had they realized how they would've been abused...oh, wait. That IS a glitch. And they DID remove, or try to remedy, both of those. Just because it's useful doesn't mean it's not a glitch.
Melee elitists are so amusing...I've never seen anyone so protective of a player-invented locomotive technique before. I knocked wavedashing, not you. You would do well not to needlessly insult others' intelligence when they made no personal attack on you at all. If you want to argue my point, argue. Argue all you want. But your immaturity and name-calling are typical of the flame wars that ruin many potentially enlightening threads, and they don't do credit to you or the point you wish to make. A spoonful of honey draws more flies than a gallon of vinegar; if you want to make your opinion known, being an elitist jerk is not the best way to go about it.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
dude i just wrote this really thoughtful response to your post. i was all like, "sorry dude, i didnt mean to snap at you, but ive run into too many ******* on these boards that wouldnt understand a logical argument. and i all thought you were one of those noob babies, but obviously i was wrong... etc."
and then, BLAM, my stupid internet resets and logs me out and i lose this 4 paragraph response that was really good.
basically i disagree with you that brawl doesnt have any game changing glitches. snake's boost smash is absurdly abused and completely changed the way snake was played the second people figured out how to do it. consequently he now resides in olympus with his right hand man metaknight in the god tier.
"check me out, im snake, i can slide halfway across a level whilest charging a usmash. hey metaknight, i'll let you win this next tourney, but i'm taking the next two after that... what's that? you want to alternate tourney wins... that just makes me so..." *utilts metaknight back to high tier* (does all of this while having a sick beard)
that's my impression of snake, i think it's pretty accurate.
i know that snake's boost smash is not as groundbreaking as wavedashing, but darnit, it's still a rampant abuse of brawl's physics engine. i just want some consistency from people. if your gonna hate on melee cuz of abuses, please dont try and avoid talking about brawl's abuses, because they are just as prevalent as melee's. if not, more so.
