Melee in 2009: Year in Review

[TresChikon]

I didn't think anyone would be that blunt, and i didn't want to be that blunt for fear of being called a noob -stfu and gtfo, but i completely agree, what a waste of time

Speak Your Mind.

Big Brother is Only Watching 99.9% of the time.

Funny sig btw.

 

[Divinokage]

Well a good example would be Ally, even if he's the champion of Brawl when he tries melee, I know he knows what to do but it's a completely different game so he gets owned. The way it's played and reaction time needed for melee is much greater.

noooo I dont know what to do vs Characters nor know what % combos may happen, so in fact, I know basic stuff of this game, nothing else. + M2K showed me HOW gay this game is when you can get CG to death sooooo gay. NAME SEARCH

 

[Divinokage]

Don't play Falcon vs Sheik, it's ******** at top level lol.

Brawl and Melee are different games. It's like playing Soccer in hopes of being a Major League Pitcher. Playing Brawl will get you no where.

i dont think thats true at all. brawl coming out is what got me into melee. it taught me a lot of spacing concepts that def carry over to melee.

granted. its no where close to the same game. and after you get melee basics down you shouldnt really be going back to brawl all that much if getting good at melee is your goal

Got an example of this?

That original description was really good. All 3 are extremely different. I think the only thing you can really pick up from one and go to the other is the extreme basic principles of smash. The ability to DI, space, kill, edgeguarding, etc. Apart from that, all the information is entirely different due to hitstun and the buffer system.

its sheik vs falcon do you really need an example?

edit: I went ahead and got one anyways: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vphTto5RzLc

 

[Charlesz]

Lol classic example of sheik vs falcon.

 

[Divinokage]

Haha exactly, =)

agreed!! but like i said. it jump started my desire to play melee. so if they started out in brawl, theyd always be able to go up a step

 

[skrach8]

ehh that example was not that great. Darkrain clearly missed some key combos and his edgegaurding was sloppy, had he got any of those, things might have been different. yeah its not great for falcon, but its very doable.

At least you can DI out of the Melee CGs. I can't be any gayer than these, Ally.

What about Doc vs Falcon UP throw CG? I was DI'ing last time I checked and M2K CG'ed me to death unless I'm saying stuff, he even told me himself 'No one even uses it at all I don't know why but it's cheap'

and yeah that's prob the gayest thing IN the game so w-e lol + they're easy to seperate so in the end, it's not really gay, ICS in brawl sucks without the other one.

 

[Pi]

doc has some pretty bad CG's on falcon
of course the IC's have their CG's as well
marth has his infamous chaingrabs which turn into combo's after like 25% though
shiek & ganon
ganon vs roy
sheik vs like every low teir
pikachu/pichu? vs spacies

a lot of these are pretty devestating, but not all stages are FD, so problem solved.

Play Brawl more and you'll realize how wrong you are. Better yet, be like MaNg0 and rather chops your hands off instead.

 

[Kite91]

Melee is more competitive, and brawl is just a party game, you really need to fast reflexes to to react to stuff in brawl, melee depending on the oppenent the player needs to be decently good with L canceling and wavedashing. If you play brawl and hope to become good at melee then theres something wrong

 

[AllyKnight]

pick a stage with platforms

Oh let's not start with this lmao. I'm just saying there's gay stuff. Of course there's a way to counter.

Play internet better and you'll realize how childish you sound. Better yet, be like you and go off on a grammar tangent at about this point in the sentence.

EDIT - How about we all let bygones be such, and respect each others game while knowing in our hearts our game is better melee.

umm... I'd rather not play Brawl anymore than I have. Maybe you should play Melee more and you'll understand how true my statement was.

 

[CloneHat]

Melee is chess, Brawl is checkers.

 

[Jun.]

Melee is chess, Brawl is blindfolded candyland

I think that the quote you quoted was towards me, and he is right. Brawl is a totally different game, the most noticeable thing is how effing slow it is compared to melee, i think you are the noob for saying that, go back to the brawl discussion please

To continue the comparison, Melee is calculus, Brawl is third grade math.

 

[Jun.]

haha so true. But we DO need third grade math to do calculus ie. spacing, shielding, ...... more spacing?

 

[Xianglian]

why would i want to work on roll dodge spacing? yawn

Brawl cannot help you if you are trying to get better in melee, period.

 

[_wzrd]

lol im a marth main, and i did my first shdf and ken combo in brawl (when i just started getting into melee, i played brawl first) and my opponents were nubs. i got the faster versions down days later...

thats about all brawl has helped lul

 

[Lib3r4t3]

In the first post under Tourneyplay 2, it should be Dieslow in 5th, not Gimpyfish.

 

[Jun.]

they should have given marth a sht(riple)f in brawl. double is so easy and requires no skill really. I think spamming it works in that game.

 

[Problem2]

Brawl is a game where everyone camps and Melee is a game where everyone spams combo starters.

 

[Jun.]

lets be fair guys
SPAMMING COMBOS ARE CHEAP AND BORING

 

[Xianglian]

Well, yeah - if you get caught in them

 

[thesage]

When I get combo'd I get excited. Is that bad?

No, that just makes you masochistic

UBIC Melee 7

Too bad UBIC Melee 7 will definitely not be on the most hype list for Year 2010. Awe well, still one of the best venues in Socal. I went to a stab by a hippie tourny in 09 and it was so darn crowded. Lolz.

Other than that, I still watch Genesis rounds over and over taking inspiration from Armada and Mango (more Mango than Armada). I just wish I could have seen it first hand. Mango be-eth my hero.

Reading about all this only puts my confidence more into the hype that Melee gets. Brawl can Get out when it comes to competitive gaming. My friends only like Brawl because they actually have a chance of beating me. Only Will has a chance of beating me in Melee, especially since he met and played the pros at UBIC Melee 7. Now I have someone fun to play against.

Thanks for this thread.

Long Live Melee. May Project M live up to the hype.

 

[rifall]

Brawl is a game where everyone camps and Melee is a game where everyone spams combo starters.

Go ahead, spam a combo starter, it doesn't guarantee a combo thanks to a lovely factor called DI. Though, I play Jigglypuff, I don't get an uthrow > rest every time, because people keep holding left or right and they get out of it. And I don't always successfully follow up with a pound or uair.

Melee is a lot harder to learn than Brawl. Brawl is good for a party game. And brawl matches are often boring. If you spam a move so that your opponent can't space right to hit you, then spamming wins. Doesn't take long to learn a good spam.

In other words, I hate Pit, and i hate MK. But my friend Opal likes Brawl because he can spam pit and beat me like that. So I have to go Ness and Lucas on his ***.

 

[Kanelol]

I get excited when I get combo'd too

It's fun just to know that someone's ******, even if it's not you

 

[Divinokage]

Year 2009.. Learning to overcome all limits! =D

I think you have Melee confused with Smash64.

Combine the camping and the combos + some more, then you have Melee :D
