The talk of Brawl taking over the smash scene is becoming too hastey. Yes it'll be an amazing game, but can you seriously believe all melee tournaments will die once the brawl scene kicks up? A whole new a game whole new beginning sounds great and all. People have spent many years trying to find "perfection" in Melee. For a lot of people they feel they're in need of a change, for others the enjoy things the way they are. I personally believe that there will be no end to melee tournaments, after 5+ years of this game if it hasn't died by now I can't imagine it dying anytime soon.
Pound 3 has announced it's self as the final large melee event, an idea that is completely obsurd in my eyes. Weeks, Months, maybe even years I could easily still see large melee events taking place. It might even become a different kind of community all together, I don't know. I still feel there's parts of Melees meta game that still hasn't been fully acknowledged. The game completely changed over night once the "land fall special" was discovered. (wavedash) Even today we randomly run into new glitches but the majority i'd say 96% of the game glitches and strategys have been discovered.
I've noticed a lot of people see one type of style and have given up trying to be unique. A factor which makes everyone want Brawl just that much more. Look at Falco for example, it's all SHL and d air shines. I'm not saying nobody tries to be unique, but in most cases everyones copycating the pros, because they see it works and want to do well in tournaments as well as they do.
Melee has been the same old game for too long for some people, for others it's just starting. I know a few people who started into the competitive scene, no more than a month or two ago with the mindset of being very good someday. Just from seeing these guys struggle to learn the advanced techniques, further more makes me believe melee isn't going to fade after brawls release.
Before I get flamed let me say this, not everyone thinks this way some people are going to say well no **** of course melees going to go on! Then there will be others that will say it's time for change we need a new game and will leave the melee scene. Please keep in mind these are my opinions based on what i've seen over the years and what i'm still seeing today.
Thank you.
