I didn't suck in melee when I wanted to play. Just because you're part of TSA, and you made a video doesn't give you the right to smack talk people.
The "you don't suck anymore" thing goes out to all the people with the wrong attitude about Melee, which I personally believe is roughly a quarter of the competitive community. In my very own opinion I have the correct attitude and it has nothing to do with which crew I'm in nor the video that I made, which is just a piece of entertainment anyways. I smack talked even when I was awful @ Melee if I thought I was right.
Entirely factual? Scar, if you're gonna make a point, and it's going to be towards people from around here, do your best to not sound like a jerk.
Well it is entirely factual, isn't it? I'm only a jerk when I hear the same crap over and over. Point to be re-made after next quote.
The fact is, Brawl plays more like a traditional fighting game. More thinking and poking, as opposed to just trying to kill in one combo. It's more my speed.
Yes and that's fine, but there are BILLIONS of traditional fighting games. The Smash series is ONE OF A KIND!! No other game plays like Smash: ring outs only, getting hit a lot doesn't equal death. Brawl does not add up to Smash standards.
Poking is a legit strat in Melee, hell it's Velocity's style, you don't see him pulling off the combos that Boss does but Velocity is clearly the better player (debatably the best Doc in the world). But at least you have the OPTION to be a combo-oriented player. But first you need to get good enough at the game to have your own style, your own strategy.
And yes, it's early, the game hasn't even come out yet. But the direction in which Brawl SEEMS TO BE GOING is without combos, lots more camping, lots of gayer strategies, and most unfortunately much easier to pick up.
My final point, and the only one that I'm really trying to make, is that there WILL BE a smaller divide between the good and the bad in Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. In Melee, better players win 90% of the time. In Brawl, it has become quite clear that better players will deservedly win with much less frequency. Certain people MAY dominate, but I can nearly guarantee that everyone will be closer together. We'll see when it comes time to power rank.
NOTE THAT THIS OPINION ALONE, if true, by definition then yields Melee to be a
more competitive game than Brawl.
LOL @ the thought of an FC grand finals match ending with say M2K's Marth TRIPPING and getting FSmashed for the kill.
