The lottery being the greatest competition of all came up a few times
Wow that was about as interesting as watching a brawl match
. I read the virst 20 or so, and I guess I will give my input on this subject. Certainly I shouldn't be considered an expert since I am very new to the competetive smash scene, but I have read thousands of these debates and I feel that I have a decent grasp of what is going on, especially since I have identified with both sides at various points in time. I'll just point out some flaws that I have seen in arguments, some have been in this thread, and some have been in others, but I will just say it all here.
Despite popular belief there is something called Natural talent.
Oh, and work, don't forget work. Put them both together, and you have a better player.
I agree its easy to camp. However, you would think Pit would be considered better if Brawl was all about camping. I also agree about spamming moves, but wouldn't the effectiveness of spamming moves wane as players adjust to the spam and learn how to punish? Melee also had moves that could be spammed (compare Marth's F-smash to Snake's F-tilt), but as time wore on and the players got better, anti-spam tactics almost became habitual, lessening the effectiveness of being spammy.
While that is true, I still think that there will be a lot of different anti-spam tactics that will bring the highest tier down a bit, reguardless of their knowledge about the move. One example - Did you know Lucario's F-air penetrates Metaknight's tornado? That makes the tornado a slightly less desireable move to use against an airborn Lucario. While not as punishing as melee, people will put in a lot of effort to overcome spam attacks because of the unpopularity surrounding them, especially those of MK and Snake, who are currently the best Brawl characters.
True, it will happen. But I forgot who said it, probably when this occurs, the Brawl scene will be long gone. Just it bores me now, an I can't experience the same satisfaction Melee gives when you pull off a kill combo. Every good fighting game mostly requires the ability to somehow string along attacks. Funny thing is, you don't really need to combo in most fighting games to win. All you have to do is to be able to counter. Sak took away an element necessary for a fighting game. In a sense, he did what he wanted. Made it a family "casual" game, all knowing that Melee blew up into the competitive scene.
xD xD xD xD =) =)

same here. Hes alright in person...just the fact who uses that **** annoying screaming ***** xD xD.
Your a mistake sir, Pathetic.
There is an if anyone doesn't know that than...****, open your eyes. So many examples for that one.
GG is absolutely amazing xD.
Then a smart Metaknight would know that, and would avoid that, maybe implementing some other move or strategy, or maybe an entirely different character altogether.
Actually, I think it's already comming back on it's own. The 7/26 Gigabits tourney is going to be melee instead of brawl, and guess who's comming (or at least said he is),
That's what I've been saying. I don't lose much in Brawl. The only times I do is when I forget that I should be camping and spamming more. When I remember that, then I do better.
and I'll just play lucario and crawl under them..>_>
Doesn't laserlock assume the opponent does nothing but DI from a throw? It seems unlikely to be a viable tactic even against people who have never heard of it, as situations where it becomes practical in an actual match are rare. Almost never will an opponent not do any of the many things which will screw up a laser-lock after being thrown.
You don't know what a laserlock is. Go look it up.
In Brawl, characters like Squirtle can use their basic jab to achieve the same effect as a laser lock. Go look it up.
And here is the jab-lock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIP7QY0anuw
A good 2/3 of the roster can do a jab infinite on every character.
I wish people would stop thinking your always going to trip into an Ike Fsmash or even that Tripping will always alter the game immensely if you do it once in a match.
Well, it's hard to tell me to stop thinking that when:
Perosal eckspearins meens nudding!!1!11!1!!!
