Its just that Melee just makes things more interesting if you have the tech skills for it
I have moderate tech skill in Melee (although I have trouble proving it now, since I don't really play it anymore), and I still choose Brawl over Melee.
I swayed myself several days ago. I take back what I've been saying recently ("If Sonic wasn't in Brawl, I'd still be playing Melee").
I'd play Brawl, even if Sonic wasn't in it.
Personally, I think both take equal tech skill. The difference being that Brawl focuses primarily on precision with a smaller number of teching skills and abilities than Melee (which had god-knows-how many techs).
Spacing, mindgames...it's all the same.
Infact, I play Brawl alot because I personally feel that it involves more mindgame issues to make up for the lack of quantity of tech skills, when compared to Melee.
I've always preferred fighting with my mind more than my body. Brawl appeals to me in this way.
Mmhmm.
Oh, and if Melee 2.0 goes anywhere farther than side tournaments, I'm leaving for GG and 3S...
