Brawl isn't like a trip to the moon. Brawl is like a trip to the dumpster out back, it's new and exiting for a little bit but you quickly grow tired of it once you realize it's just a pile of garbage. Melee is like playing Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube.

Actually no, it's not. The solar systems goes on for quite some time after Pluto, it's just that normal school maps of the solar system decide to cut it off after what used to be the 9th planet.

Pluto is cold, dark, lifeless, and demoted.
Unless you meant "Melee is like a trip to [Disneyworld where one can see] Pluto." Pluto the dog is more appealing than

Enough of this Pluto talk. It's not even a real planet.
What happened to all the other reasons? I'd love to hear about those from you, too.

Yeah Pluto was de-planetified a while ago, and this has to be one of the dumber analogies I've ever heard.

I really don't feel like discussing all the reasons Brawl is more shallow than melee at the current time. Especially because we disagree on what is depth. For example, I think that the ability to actively play the defensive and actively play the offencive is balanced in Brawl, but because camping and spamming is easy and irritating, this aspect is considered to make Brawl worse. The more characters with completely different effective strategies which lead them to victory, the more depth the game has. However, this is often overshadowed by how irritating and easy camping is, while disdain for the tactic keeps competitive smashers who use it disrespected, often because they are the inferior player with the more effective, irritating, and dull to watch tactic. This is one of the points where we disagree on what depth is, since I think the playstyle brings something to Smash melee didn't have, whereas most people think this tactic lessens the series.
Why is Pluto such a popular subject? It is a lifeless, desolate tundra after all. Sure I brought it up, but most the other analogies were single-post incidents which where never brought up a second time.

=). Makes me happy, when ever i am feeling blue.
So many knees to the face. So much intense, FAST paced action.
Im in Florida an haven't been in the tournament scene for about a month. Yet, only 3 characters continue to dominate. Snake, MK, and in my opinion D3.
I remember when people said...when I also said, that brawl was great because it eliminated the small amount of top tier characters.
Well, it's even worse than Melee. And until that one person figures out that Weegee can kill anyone at 57%, well, there will be 4. But untill then, theres 3.
Street Fighter Third Strike, GG x2, MvC2, an Melee. Those are the games, the real competitive fighting games. You have to have true talent to master one of them, to become the best. It takes time, but It can happen.
But, I am seeing this. Theres a trend in fighting games. At first, theres a few top tier chars. But, after a year or so, those who have been fed up with those tiers, an whose been playing other chars (diddy, DK, IC, Weegee, G&W, YL, G DORF!!!! xD ...ect) They will start coming through the ranks, and through pure talent an gaming skill, they will be able to beat the top tier "pros"

I also love 3rd Strike xD xD xD http://youtube.com/watch?v=KS7hkwbKmBM AmaZiNg!!!!

Lol wtf RDK? theres a top 5 in that game, it's no different then melee.
I know, but I hate Chun-Li. ^_^
But mostly I hate Justin Wong.

really? J-wong is a pretty chill person though =( he actually likes the smash community, or rather actually seems melee as a really competitive game.
Unlike people like studlyff8fan. >____>

I can't wait until this happens and 80% of the Brawl population starts crying after they realize that their scrubby Snakes/Metaknights can't beat anyone anymore. Then Brawl will reach true competitiveness and I will laugh at the disbelievers.

This is probably the most sense-making post I've seen.

Except substituting High Tiers for the Top Tiers is more of a baby step than you make it sound like. (I.E. Toon Link, GaW)
But I know what you mean.
But I know what you mean.
I don't like Jwong because the entire SRK community thinks he's Jesus because he plays Melee / Brawl and places fairly well, when in reality he's not really that good. MikeyG kicked his *** in a recent Brawl tourney, but for some reason peopel still think he's God.

Doesn't Jwong get ***** by any good melee player? LOL
Yeah, pretty much.

Then I could take him on!
I believe the requirements were GOOD Melee player.

rofl ppl talking about noob snakes and metaknights losing to good ppl it'll happen in time when noobs realize how to actually play the game. but as soon as that happens and ppl can't do well or don't seem to get better the huge brawl tourny scene will diminish. because all the noobs who were doing OK will be like screw this i'm not wastin my money to go 0-2.
Justin Wong is like, the best (Traditional)fighting game player out there. He essentially wins at anything with two sprites who cant turn around
He's pretty bad at smash though.That was nuts. Daigo is a beast, too.
Unfortunately, Justin Wong is the best by default because most everybody who's capable of beating him doesn't play anymore. Although I think he lost to Mike Yipes in last year's EVO.

He's one of the few SRKers who see's melee is a good game, I think he even said brawl was a joke compared to melee.
lol, and yet the SRK community doesn't crucify him?

It just goes to show you how the SRK have their fair share of idiots too.
It almost seems too fair.
