JC that is a really good point. the weeklies are big because of brawl right now but i feel that its only because its something new. soon people will start to get bored of it because as much as people think its a fresh slate for people the results of the weekly are probably going to remain the same just like what happened to melee. The difference is melee is more fun i think people have just forgot that. as for the returning players it true they go just to play brawl and i can't change that, i can understand why some of the pros dont like melee anymore but i think brawl is just a distraction for those who were starting to get good at melee.So what happened anyway Luck? You kinda suddenly stopped like Brawl for some reason. If you don't mind me asking.
Anyway I think people already know how much 'better' melee is vs. brawl. I don't think anyone is trying to prove anything in that respect. But you're hoping to diminish the population that plays brawl vs. plays melee. You know why the weekly gets a lot of people now right? Brawl. The amount of people who go to these events now go to specifically play brawl, so even if you try to 'steal' a good amount of the brawl people to go play melee it will be maybe about the same as the old weekly's with 15-20 ppl on a good day. It's not a bad thing, but you do realize that a lot of the old smashers who used to play melee, stopped then started to come around again for brawl.
I mean I don't know a lot, but that's just a friendly observation. And as I wrote above I don't like the idea of 'phasing it out' cause I enjoy both. And I also don't know why you gotta make these something we have to choose either, like GO MELEE OR GO BRAWL. Well whatever, in the end I'd rather play both games I mean I sat for a good while playing Melee with Vanz last weekly and I didn't want to stop. But yeah, that's my two cents.
Like you said its pretty clear which game is better but also its about which game is more competitive. i think by itself that is a stupid statement but it relates to the playablity by competitive players. Brawl allows for matches between players clearly on two different skill levels to have close matches. I dont think thats fair for the advanced players.
I only want to phase brawl out because i dont think web2zone will consistantly allow two different tourneys a week to happen. so the only way to have melee make a completely comeback is to phase brawl out of weeklies.
I think brawl is fun, but to a certain extent. the game should be used for smashfests or maybe some occasional tourneys.
