Nintendo wants the money

[rev]

Everyone seems to be so worried about Brawl slaughtering competitive play. I mean wavedash, shorthop, l-cancle whatever. There all just advance techs that allow for competitive play. Now weather Melee was meant to be that kind of game or not Nintendo now has a taste for it, I
m sure its done a lot of good business for them. So why would they take the path of not targeting such a large part of their clients.

Now weather it will be anything we can begin to guess right now it would seem like a joke to me to take a well known competitive game with so much in depth techniques to be found and mastered (accident or not) and sequel it with a graphics update, to a new platform, new characters, and all this fuss just to piss off a 3rd of their customers with a very lame technical skill cap.

I guess I'm simply saying why wouldn't they take care of us? Advanced tech will make it.
(although i could more than likely see a big change in the techniques, making all learn them thus realigning all the Melee vets with the new comers to brawl(at least some))

Any thoughts? Anyone even know a competitive game that had a sequel that killed it?

I'm really tired of these kinds of rants - did we know all of Melee's techniques before it came out? I'm pretty sure most of them were discovered by accident and then developed by top players. There's just gonna be a new set for Brawl.

Nintendo wants money? What a revelation!

Learn the difference between "whether" and "weather" as well as "there", "their" and "they're".

I doubt competitive smashers make up even a third of the Smash community.

There will be new advanced techniques. It's nearly impossible to make a game of this magnitude without some sort of unforeseeable glitch that will be taken advantage of by the players.

Cry moar.

In other news.. the sky is blue and Hillary Clinton is running in the Democratic Primary.

To answer one of the original questions: I believe Soul Calibur III really screwed over the SC franchise due to various balancing issues that were absent in its predecessor, preventing it from being used very often at tournaments. Fortunately, many people still play SCII.

I wouldn't be overly worried about competitive play until we actually have the game in our hands, at which point we can make a fair statement on the subject.
