I really enjoyed his brawl version of the original SSB introduction
Link ?
Do you want to know the cause? It was a huge mistake to let little brawl playing kids join smashboards. The game brawl is all about smashing buttons. I played the game for like 2 weeks and I only found out that it is a horrible game and melee has more depth. Why would melee be any better? Melee had great spacing abilities that could lead to mindgames. There are almost no mindgames available for brawl (and will never be) because the spacing and gameplay is just not what a fighter likes to see and play. By the way, the most of these brawl players will be one day players that have never played any other game of the smash serie.
So you're saying we shouldn't have let you join?
I agree with this quote because this thread goes about the competitive play. I just mentioned some opinions, what would be wrong with that? Brawl is just not made for competitive play, it is made for childs that will play their first game. Please look at the online mode of brawl. Is this 'the' online mode that we expected? Look at the xbox360 network and please post a normal post if you would.
Here's the difference between 64/Melee and Brawl that people fail to realize. 64 and Melee were just made without competitiveness in mind. Brawl was designed specifically NOT to become a competitive game. Yes, it is inherently competitive, but Sakurai specifically intended for Brawl to be uncompetitive (hence why the quality of Brawl's metagame is so.......dull and broken).
100% accurate.
You only think it's dull and broken because you don't bother to play it the same way you would look at Melee or Smash 64. You go in playing Brawl knowing that it doesn't have the techs and available options that Melee has, and thus you find it empty and unfulfilling. Anybody who's entering a game/function/event expecting it to be crap will look at the downfalls and say it's crap. Fine, think of it as you want, but other people, like myself, find this game very competitive. The accessability to high-level gaming through its easier controls, not to mention its online capabilites, could drive more people into Brawl than having a game fileld with advanced techs coming out the wazoo.
Basicially this.
1. lol online.
My issue is that when I played Brawl, it's that it felt suffocating, as if the game was smothering me to hold me down. I was honestly really excited for this game when it came out, and I played it a lot. It was after a week or so I started to begin to wane in my excitement and like for it and began to understand why. I didn't enter the game with an ounce of predisposition to dislike it, yet now, here I am now, vociferously against it.
I don't completely agree with this statement, I don't think that's quite the reason why Brawl's seems so bad competitively in comparision to Melee, though it is a reason.
. I just could not take it trying to prove to many that Brawl wasn't all that bad, I think I lost it around the time of the MK Dimensional Cape being fould.He is my Brawl main, I got tired of constantly being called a Tier ***** by Brawl noobs because I seemed to main many potential High/Top Tier characters (When your a consistent Tier list maker in a board's community and every day you get criticized for putting characters in Low/Bottom and having to explain why they're bad, it's hard to just turn around and use the character as well), this tech would make the criticism unbearable, and this is what made me overall rethink everything I had previously known. Why should I continue contributing to a community that seems completely hopeless and overrun by a new generation that's raging with idiots and noobs alike? What was it going to accomplish if they never learned? At least the majority of the Melee community is sensible and intelligent, in Brawl those kind of people are quite rare
Hell yes. I went to a smashfest tonight that was all Melee, and I'm glad to be back playing... Once you go back, you realize how inferior and boring Brawl really is.
Didn't Sakurai specifically say there would be no downloadable characters?
