They will realize it eventually when their metagame gets stale and everyone quits, people are still improving at melee its insane.

Nah, it's just that all Brawl players are completely incapable of having a car/job save for the coolest ones: Foos, Viviff and a few others.

prolly only the old schoolers will remember him
I guess that makes me old school.

Also yeah me and Yugo were talking about a PR round robin tournament like the one the twins had in like 08 at that little house they rented out.
If you remember SF:E '07, then you're old school. XD

Smashfest Eugene? They should have another one of those
I would, but after all these years of pouring money into the Smash community, I'm pretty broke. :(

I would, but Brawl people are hobos who apparently live and drive in cardboard boxes built for one and can't pick up people. I'm game for Melee onry though, I just wanna get a ride :(

There are like four consistent noregon brawl players now that brick is gone, and somehow this summer the number of noregon melee players skyrocketted. So the best bout smashfests are accurately representing the amount of noregon players.

I think its just the matter of finally having a consistent venue, its hard to get hype for one tournament when it could be 6 months before there is another one. Having a monthy tourney with weekly friendlies is going to do a lot for the community.

It isn't worth working hard to improve if you don't have people to play against all the time. For the first time in years Im considering practicing against level 1-3 comps to get down tech skill so I can start taking first places.

The consistent venue thing is a big factor, so I totally agree with Justin.

Also, how is what Gage said a shock? He doesn't enter Brawl singles.

Edit: What happened to Brick?

He's going to OSU, aka the S. Oregon Conspiracy territory

I'd also like to say I was one of the hipsters that helped get Melee tourneys consistent again around here

Corvallis has a pretty dead brawl scene, but after what I saw at best bout, they will probably have more activity with three people instead of one. Corvallis is a dominant melee area right now, with two new players in town; one from eugene, and one from las vegas.

I was being sarcastic when I was saying that about Brawl haha. I enjoy playing it and think it's a decent game. I just don't see it necessary to constantly say it's bad. Especially when this thread is for players of both of the games (64 doesn't count). I just don't want the community to seem uninviting to someone who is new to the scene and comes to this thread looking for people to play Brawl with.

Looks like Bert is coming to Corvallis Saturday night. The rest of Oregon should try to make it so we can have one more superspecialawesome smashfest before school starts.

And somebody grab Jeff :3

I think brawl on it's own is a good game, just not when you compare it to melee. Both games are really similar except:

*Brawl is slower than melee which I don't liike(although this is a preference thing)
*Tech chasing happens in the air instead of the ground which I just don't enjoy as much(another preference, no big deal)
*There are less movement options
*There are very few good options to be aggressive so the game ends up being very campy in tournaments. (this can happen in melee as well but aggression has a high enough reward in that game to be worth it often enough.)
*The game recovers for you (less chances for good players to show superior technique over bad players, less exciting edgeguards)

Brawl has a fuller and richer cast, and I actually like the animation, I wish the physics would have been closer to melee, at least in movement options even if they decided to slow it down. I think they stayed very true to each character when creating movesets and discounting some of the top tiers the balance between characters is pretty good for the most part. But yeah brawl had so much potential and I just find myself not enjoying it as much as I wish I could have.

If anyone is going to that Corvallis thing from NOregon and doesn't mind picking me up, I'd be up for going with, assuming you guys are going back up the same night or I have a place to crash.
