The difference between Mango in Melee and Larry in Brawl is, Larry doesn't play Brawl outside of tournaments. He doesn't train in the game. He just plays at tournaments and that's it. But then again, I haven't talked to Larry recently, so I don't know if he has started to train outside of tournaments or not. So it's not smart for me to assume at this point.
But then again, there really isn't much to train in such a shallow game that maybe playing in tournaments is really all you need to do to be good at the game. If that is the case, my reasoning is flawed.
Also, Brawl and Melee are two completely different games. Saying that he's been good shows that Brawl is a shallow/joke of a game. What makes a player good in Melee is not the same as what makes a player good in Brawl. That should be obvious at this point. Sure you have to be smart in both games but being smart should not be the only factor necessary to bieng good at a fighting game (or any competitive game for that matter). Technical aspects should bear just as much importance, but in Brawl, that is clearly not the case. If being smart is all it takes to be good then you know the game is horrible.
It will also explain the reason why placings in tournaments are still not as consistent as they should be.
