I guess you guys can't understand it like I do, but I have a lot of great memories and experiences built up around Melee, and it pains me to see a perfectly good franchise tampered with just for the sake of an extra buck in Sakurai's pockets.
A lot of friends I've made aren't coming back--and I don't really blame them. Sometimes I wonder why I keep coming back here, because it's becoming increasingly obvious I can't pour my heart out without getting ridiculed. And from you guys, even. Never saw that coming.
Say what you want. Call me a fool for not liking Brawl. I just don't see a reason to stick around here much longer, and the fact that the intelligence of the Brawl Boards is a foreshadowing of what the new Smash community will be like doesn't help.
So I guess this is goodbye. I'll still be at P2W, but SWF is dead to me. I have a few more things to sort out before I go for good, but you probably won't see me too often anymore.

Er... RDK I need the link to P2W again, my computer (Broken computer) cant load firefox and I have to use *Throws up* Internet explorer version 1, lost all links and cookies.
Also I agree with you, except I ****ed off brawl when I first saw the roster, my best advice to you is getting a 360, with Halo 3. You won’t regret it... unless you act like 89% of the brawl board’s population.

*facepalm* Forgive me if I sound rude in the following;
I can perfectly well understand that you like Melee more than Brawl, that's fine. It's a matter of personal preference after all. I liked Ocarina of Time and Windwaker more than Twilight Princess myself*.
However, Brawl is not a bad game at all, and I find it upsetting you are trying to ruin the experience to people who might not know any better when you tell them not to get it.
I also fail to see how Brawl was made to make "an extra buck." Why? Because he didn't tuck in some extra controls for a very very very small minority of people who buy the game to use? Because he made it so that the vast majority could have fun? I don't see a vast amount of difference between the controls of Melee and the ones in Brawl, except Brawl has less glitches because there was more time put into the game.
If you love the Smash franchise so much, I'm sure you can find a way around the "shallowness" of the game and go to what you were doing previously. If you want to leave, go ahead and do it. Personally, whatever "deepness" there was in Melee I don't mind giving away for a chance to play with you guys.
Sorry if I'm any less intelligent for sticking around and having a good time.
*found TP too dark for my tastes. I never thought I'd say this, but I missed Tingle.
Facepalm... facepalm? FACEPALM!!??!!?? I WILL SHOW YOU A ****ING FACEPALM!
As a game this is mediocre, good at best. Shouldn’t even bother listing all the reasons because you all know about them, but for ignorance sakes:
The roster: Not enough more characters (No big deal), stupid and just plain lazy, fan-hating choices (Big deal).
The modes: Rotation, stickers, SSE, masterpieces, all of these are bad in the fact they are not good (SSE was known to be nothing special and had an even worse storyline / ending) and take up time which would have been spent adding Ridley, Mega man, Mew two or even... Mog.
The gameplay: Has become shallow and lacks depth, things which would not negatively affect the game and would increase its value ten-fold, adding lots of lasting power and pleasing fans.
The online: Good that its in, but then again they should have spent a lot more time with it, to actually make it... good. I mean seriously, for Brawl to not have online would have been... preposterous. But as usual Sakurai, instead of making it good decided to make it as barren as possible, except not so barren that people would hate it. I mean you all have witnessed it for yourself, there is no point in facing people in "With anyone" mode, you only have 4 phrases instead of voice chat or at least a better way to communicate. And the lag is apparently pretty terrible.
Other: Film clips 3 minutes long? WTF? Not many more event modes (IF anymore, I cant remember)? WTF? All characters unlocked pretty easily straight away? WTF? Tripping? WTF? 41 (Or something close) stages? WTF?
Also TP sucks because it focuses to much on
GAY *** ***** **** Midna and the Twili instead of the Triforce three, but maybe that’s a bit to complicated for you Reyairia *Pats her on the head*
I'm tired of your Brawl bashing.
Accept Brawl, or STFU!
... did ... did I read this right? Did Platnum just tell RDK to shut the **** up?
*Face****INGpalm*
Platnum, the stupid ignorant little 10 year old American, nood kid who supported Mog, is an idiot, spammed the **** out of threads (Not good spam stupid annoying spam), acted like a complete and utter douche-bag, is an idiot, has been on the boards from not to long, has even got banned for his stupid *** spam, is an idiot, pisses people off, is an idiot, is an idiot, is an idiot.
Has just told-
RDK, the respectful not so ignorant somewhere between 16 - 20 year old who has started a club dedicated to a (After some convincing) good character, isnt an idiot, has a podcast, has started up a very popular clan with dedicated member
(before the move), has studied brawl a lot, has put countless (Well more than Platnum can count... but then again he can only count up to 16) hours into Melee Brawl and 64, has been a dedicated member of several sites, has made a comic, and is a nice guy (Even though some people hate him... for some reason... )
To shut the **** up after he voiced his opinion.
Can you spot the ***got?
You may be tired of RDK Platnum, but by god we are tired of you (Or at least… me and Shuma).
Way to straighten everything out Colb!
And if you want to have off topic discussion, you guys can just have it in Stryks' WOTC thread on WoR. I mean have the people posting here are members there, and the rest can join if they want. But whatever, just trying to help out.
On topic: Nice comics, Stryks. Hope to see more soon.
Over my dead body. I would allow some people (Most original members of SSS, Bomb squad and some Pikmen) but the day a member of the mog squad gets into our club... is the day I asplode the site.
