OMFG! Finally
...took me 2 hours to read all this and catch up. I started at around page 897.
I'm glad Hax apologized to Wes and all that, hopefully there is no more of that. It was actually surprising to see those posts since I though you guys were cool with eachother.
I guess that's the downfall of being in a crew. Your crew members say crap and you feel like you have to defend them, then of course it gets you in the heat and you prob have to turn against people you probably don't really hate.
...Oh well
My .02 cents on Brawl vs. Melee if anyone still cares lawlz.
First off, I like Brawl a lot. I like Melee too (I happened to be one of 3 dedicated Samus mains in NYC so of course I liked it)...in fact I still watch Melee vids whenever I'm bored. Why? Because they're simply amazing. Anyway, that's besides the point. The fact is....Brawl is the newer game and I feel that even with it's quirks (tripping, HELLA CHEAP chaingrabs WAY WORSE than melee, no L-cancelling, the list goes on and on..) that it still makes for a good fighter that has enough depth to prove a difference in skill between two opponents.
The argument that Hax brought up earlier with the fact that n00bs are keeping up with Pros is almost irrelevant as this is still a fairly new game and it's not exactly like Melee. The type of skill required to be amazing at Melee may not apply that much to Brawl. For some reason, a lot of people are under the assumption that because they were pro at Melee they're magically supposed to be pro at Brawl.
Sure it's the same game in the sense that it's part of a series but you can't say things like this game takes less skill than the previous one because a previous "n00b" got me down to 1- stock. Or "someone that couldn't touch me in Melee just beat me in Brawl" That's ridiculous it's like saying "because I **** this guy at Street Fighter Alpha I should be able to **** him in Third Strike" or "Third Strike sucks because the same n00bs I fought in Alpha are beating me"....
See how much sense it makes when it's applied to another series? Barely any....
Now of course you can say things like "but the same pros in Melee are doing good in Brawl without practicing". I can't deny that...it's definitely true..which is why I don't understand why they complain. But all I'll say is those same "pros" are picking characters like Snake, Meta, DDD to ease their way to victory without practicing while other players are struggling really hard with characters they actually like to make them good *cough* Zero Suit, Falco, Fox, Olimar, Ike, Sonic, Zelda, Peach and others... the players know who they are.
Anyway that's just to say these players are playing with non top tier characters while the Snake and Meta players walk their way down easy street taking top 5. Is it really skill or just people flocking to the top tiers?
I really wonder if everyone picked Meta or Snake for a tourney if those same people that go to weeklies without practice would be in the top 5...or even top 10. I truly doubt it...
NO OFFENSE TO THOSE WHO PLAY CHARACTERS BECAUSE IT FITS THEIR STYLE. Shadow for sure you didn't flock to Metaknight, you were one of the first...and also Leo for playing with DEDEDE before he was beast.
I know it's a tourney...and you have to be as cheap as possible...but you can't say stuff like "I don't play this game and I still take top 5" because guess what...you most likely pick SNAKE or META. And incase you haven't noticed...NYC as a whole doesn't know how to fight vs these two characters yet. Some ..however are on the brink of figuring them out, with a little help of course.
Now if you didn't practice and took top 5 with Sonic or Falcon or Samus or Bowser ...then I will officially quit Brawl and go back to Melee. PROMISE

He didn't mean they were low tier; he meant that those characters haven't been winning tournaments so far really yet some people are trying to come up with metagame for them and make them good.pfft.. wow... lol zelda is not low tier, nor is falco..
i use meta cuz he's awesome though.. not in brokenness but cuz his character is cool. same reason i would think of picking up on dedede because he's one of my favorite characters out of the brawl ine up.
i mostly go for characters that have multiple jumps ... i mained puff in melee so yup lol
anyone wannnaaa mm tomorrow ?

Bleh, it was a low number. about 13-15 smashers came for Melee and only about 4 teams wanting to do doubles, so we ended up doing singles. In the end, it seems like majority of smashers rather play Brawl then Melee, but this is IMO, as I love both games.how many people were at the Melee weekly?
IT was a legitamate move! lolXivk -Good games. Our team skills are too good. I hate you in other fighting games though >>
no prob, anytime ^_^... HEY!!!! WHAT THE DEAL WITH TOMARROW!?Bleh, it was a low number. about 13-15 smashers came for Melee and only about 4 teams wanting to do doubles, so we ended up doing singles. In the end, it seems like majority of smashers rather play Brawl then Melee, but this is IMO, as I love both games.
Still, despite the low number smashers, I had fun

I practice safe sex and she still got pregnant. Tell me where I went wrong.It seems like the new thing to do in this place is brag about how much you don't practice.
Well guess what? I practice whenever I can.
That's why I **** anyone who brags about that.
Bum also practices alot, and ***** all of you.
Keep bragging about stupid ****
