Smash Lord
Pretty much everyone knew how to L cancel and wavedash and all the little technical things from melee...what, 4+ years before the game's peak?
And now people hate brawl cause it's not deep enough? Melee stopped being technically deep years ago, the past 4 years of melee have been nothing but strategy changes and mindgames. Honestly, when was the last time a match between good players was decided by tech skill? When was a match decided by a wavedash, or an L cancel? I can't even remember.
Evo is picking up brawl, everyone is picking up brawl. The fact of the matter is, restricting NCB to melee only will do nothing but destroy a huge chance NorCal has to improve greatly at Brawl, which other people will continue to do, no matter how much certain people say "melee is better".
And at the end of the day, let's be honest. If you're gonna say brawl sucks, let's not forget about how bad melee is. There are 4 characters you can pick, otherwise you lose. One of them can chain grab half of the other characters, the other two can laser camp everyone but themselves, and the other one has more range on his attacks than anyone else in the game. Fun? ...questionable. Melee has become more and more of a pattern game, because people learn what works, and because certain characters are so godly, it doesn't matter if you know what they're going to do, because it's still going to work. Yeah, I know this falco is going to laser camp me. It doesn't matter, cause it doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
I seriously feel like people hate brawl for all the wrong reasons. Wow, you can't approach the exact same way over and over and have it work? Instead of using your heads, you'd rather go back to the mindlessness of melee? Sweet, laser laser down air. Good fun.
I'm not saying brawl is perfect, but the fact that so many people are judging a games full potential based on a month of play, well, it's starting to annoy me. It's a much more mental game, just cause you can't hide the fact that your mental game sucks behind tech skill, doesn't mean the game is bad.
It just means you have to learn to ****ing play.
