melee pro = Brawl pro?

[Brandenpunk1]

Do you think the big names in melee will find a way to dominate the field again? or is it way to soon to tell?

(read the following as if you were singing DK rap)

''Here, here, here we go,''
''So he is finally here,''
''Posting for you,''
''If you know the thread,''
''You can avoid this noob,''

''stay all together, if you to hear this crap,''
''As we take you through, this stupid rap!''

''DK, [[Donkey Kong]]!!''

''He's the leader of the noobs, you know him well,''
''He finnaly won, the noobs champ belt, (Ahehahe)''
''His Coconut Gun, can fire in spurts,''
''If you read his thread , it's gunna hurt!''
''He's lazier, uglier and funnier too,''
''He's the first member of the DK crew!''

''DK, Donkey Kong!'
''DK, Donkey Kong is here!''

''This guy looks stupid, so listen up dudes,''
''He can be a newbie, so don't be rude,''
''He is quick and nimble when he needs to be,''
''He can annoy you to hell, so climn on a tree!''
''If you choose him, you'll choose wrong,''
''With a skip and a hop, she's one fool Kong!''''

<br/>''DK, Donkey Kong!''


Just kidding, I created this song a while ago and need to show it to somebody.
to answer your question: Yeah I think the big names will return, a good meele pro will be a good brawl pro. (they got used to the game fast)

The ones that stick with it will, at least in the beginning. New people always crop up later on though.

 

[Lionheart2232]

Well, with all the new elements added into the mix I think all of us will have to get familiar with brawl before anyone's a pro.

 

[Blaze Zero]

Isai is one of the best SSB players, and he was still really good at Melee. I think it's safe to say that those pros who will play Brawl as much as they did Melee will be some of the top players in Brawl as well.

 

[Brentos4o8]

With some advanced techniques such as Dash Dancing and uh...Shield Grabbing (couldn't think of another one) returning, some pros will still be pro.

A noob that just picks up a Wii and Brawl like out of the blue won't get the basic stuff of Brawl.

But from a wider point of view everybody will have to learn Brawl from the beginning.

 

[Voyager]

Everyones going to need a little time to adapt to Brawl, it handles differently of course. Some poeple might find new mains. Or some great players might only just start playing with Brawl.

But if you were good in melee, I'm guessing you'll probably be good in Brawl. In order to be actually good you'd have to have relied on mindgames, strategy, etc, not just advanced techniques and such.

 

[SJAK47]

Not automatically, but an experienced 64/Melee player already has a certain feel for the game. It's just a matter of figuring out the new combos and so on for Brawl.

Newer players will need to learn and adjust a lot more than experienced players, but in time, they'll catch up.

 

[Anth0ny]

I think that the Melee pros that stick to it will still be great players. However, I'm sure that more players will arise that weren't epic pwnage in Melee. Remember, Isai is the greatest SSB64 player of all time. Easily. When it comes to Melee, he has (arguably) the best Falcon in the world. However, Ken is the greatest Melee player of all time. I'm thinking that Ken will still be amazing at Brawl, but perhaps (read: perhaps) not the best.

But hey, what do I know :D

Exactly. Mindgames, son. =]

 

[Wyvernkni]

I'd say it's too early to tell. They are two different games, so it will take some time for all of us. The people who have played Melee however, will probably have an edge of sorts, but then you have to consider the fact that people must get used to Change rather then just learning something new. Sometimes Change can be harder to deal with, it all depends on the player. I'm sure older Super Smash Brothers experience will generally be a good thing, but not needed =p.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Nope. Not a pro at all in Melee, but I will pwn all at Brawl.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Melee pros have an advantage and will definitely have an edge in the beginning.

But it doesn't mean they will necessarily be pro.

Only if they keep at it...

[Eagle-Eye]

I think most Melee pros rely heavily on wavedashing and other techniques that won't be present in Brawl, so they won't immediately be masters. So we'll all be on a level playing field, at least at first.

 

[super-7]

i agree with most people here that the pros from melee will have an edge just because they have years
of smart playing and really good DI so they will def. know what they are doing when they
pick up a controller and play, (look at gimpy he went to E4all and gathered all that info within what 3
days) so i think the pros will be good if they stick with the game

 

[Grand Mango]

I think most Melee pros rely heavily on wavedashing and other techniques that won't be present in Brawl, so they won't immediately be masters. So we'll all be on a level playing field, at least at first.

Though that may be true, Ken once said during his period of dominance that "dash dance, not wavedash" or something along those lines.

Also, heavily is an overstatement. It's clear that melee pros can easily adjust to anything. The only ones who will rely heavily on wavedashing are those who are just learning it and going "OMGZZZ TEH WAVEDASH"

Also, pros will still be dominant in brawl. They have the power to manipulate people into doing what they want.

 

[Zek]

Melee pros got where they are through endless practice. If they put the same effort into Brawl they'll get the same results. There are no guarantees that the same people will be on top of the pile again though.

 

[nuro]

It is a combination of a lot of different influences. SSBM pros are hard working and talented. If a pro brings his mindset to SSBB he will surely become a pro again. The difference between pros and non pros is that pros usually have something they want to achieve or work for. Someone with no weight on their shoulders will usually lose easily while someone with weight on their shoulders will usually win easily.

 

[OddCrow]

Well, I plan on making a name for myself in Brawl. Within a year or two I hope to achieve that illustrious "pro" status. : ) and I know there are many up and comers (like me) who are determined to make it to the top. The current pros might have an advantage but in the end it's going to come down to who's better and at this point the playing field is as equal as it's going to be.

 

[tutata]

Ya they adapt fast, just like the halo pros.

 

[Igneous42]

Kinda. Melee pro's probably like smash enough that they will work to be pro again in Brawl. But being pro at Melee won't make you automatically pro at Brawl. I know because I was at EforAll, and I'm a casual player yet I was fighting on par with them. It's different enough that everyone (ok no everyone anyone who's played a lot casual or competitive) is pretty much on the same level.

 

[keeper]

I don't think they would be instant pros, but more so just be able to get a grasp of the entire game more easily then most people. *shrug*

 

[TrueBlue23]

But you have to admit Brawl will have more changes than halo did.

 

[Red_Revival]

Smash is still very much a tech game. A lot of things will transfer over. get really accurate and you should be fine

 

[SurooshX]

I will be the Hugs of Brawl.
