But yeah, several characters rely on legit projectiles... DR. MARIO, MARIO, LUIGI, PEACH, Yoshi, FALCO, Fox, NESS, ICE CLIMBERS, SAMUS, SHEIK, Zelda, LINK, YOUNG LINK, Pichu, Pikachu, and Mewtwo (Caps mean characters heavily rely on projectiles). Obviously other characters have uses for projectiles (e.g. Bowser and GaW), but these characters rely on them the most.
Mario and Luigi don't rely on their projectiles at all. Zelda, Pichu really don't want to use their's either AT ALL. Mewtwo and fox really like their projectiles, but playstyle and matchup really depend if the latter uses his projectile much. Ness and Ice Climbers depend on what you count as a projectile and really differ in how they use it and how they might want to. All of Samus' projectiles are bad, and she depends on you thinking they're really good in order for you to faulter in the matchup, otherwise she has to patiently use them in their situational limits to yield much profit with them.
I watched the Will vs Richbrown match. It really got me thinking. Ever been to a casual tournament where players get mad if you exploit a move or tactic because the player always falls for it? Where they call it cheap and cheating? That's what I'm getting from brawl from the drama that one final match in the set caused. Truth of the matter is, Brawl's a great game when it's played in certain parameters, but the reason it's staying as a viable fighting game is because you're limiting it off. Fighting games don't really have that option. If it was played in the arcade style of how the arcade cabinet wanted you to play, it'd be tossed away as just another broken game like mortal kombat or some really bad version of king of fighters or something. But we're smashers, we create a game because we aren't in that same community alignment to them. The Gundam pvp game or Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble is closer to their community because it's in their enviroment. It's just really gay though thinking about it that if the tournament organizer doesn't phrase his rules right, stuff like that has a tendency to happen, with plank, m2k, will or whoever else has played extremely gay and had a controversial or drama causing match.
And I don't really want that. Not that BC has had that problem yet (has it?) but in general, if I were to put in time to get good, I'd want to travel out, and if I were to just be contently bad at a game and pay money for it, I have melee for that, or mvc2 at arcades, or halo, team fortress 2, or dota. Games that cost me significantly less to play and that I could get more promising results from in long term if I put myself to them. I just have this sideways feeling that I enjoy brawl when I am not active with melee, and since I've been active with melee for almost 3 quarters of a year now, I've felt no need to even try brawl again other than some casual matches with some in town friends or ****ing around with level 3 cpus to kill time.
So I don't think I'm going to be attending another brawl tournament, not for brawl at least. I'd love to still chill with you guys because you're all cool, but melee's def my calling in competitive gaming, and it's about time that I make my own apology and give that final nail to the coffin in Okanagan Brawl. Sorry guys. If you guys are having a big tournament (that doesn't interfere with a big melee tournament, sorry if the Melee TOs are being douches again) involving all your players, let me know, because that sounds like it'd be a good time to head down to see you guys again. I'll probably play some brawl too. But most of all, keep in touch.
Since you guys are being silly saying money matches, I'll money matchj anyone in a one continue run on Super Ghouls n Ghosts. 10$ minimum, gotta pay for a trip after all.
