those of you who think melee is more competitive...

[derpinsmash]

how many of you go to brawl tournaments anyway? personally i think that if you want melee to have more tournaments you shouldn't compete in brawl tournaments at all but i'm not going to go on a forum holy war about it. just curious is all...

 

[Blea Gelo]

?? a lot of players have not played in brawl tourneys, just because, they dont like to..

 

[Genuine]

yea but then are the ppl who go to brawl tournies and end up playing melee before the tourny is over

 

[Cookiez]

You don't need to go to Tourneys to tell if one game is more suited to competition than another.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I go to Brawl tournaments and I think Melee is more competitive.

It's not like I have a problem with Brawl tournaments; I just prefer Melee ones.

 

[trademark0013]

its because brawl is fun and a game everyone likes to play for fun. we jus prefer melee. its not like we're gonna boycott brawl. thatd be idiotic.

I guess some of us are just giving brawl a chance. I have attended 2 brawl tourneys so far and did alright *9th place @ both events*, but to be honest i cant see myself playing this game competitively in the next 6 months.

 

[Bailey]

Yea but Brawl sucks you are missing the main point.

 

[trademark0013]

bailey for brawl

 

[Dark Sonic]

We're going to brawl tournaments because there's not that many melee tournaments. If a melee tournament and a brawl tournament were to happen at the same time I'd go to the melee one, but otherwise I just want to play both.

 

[killer tofu]

i go to brawl tournamnets to hang out with the community but i don't enter. I think i entered one and regretted it after the first match.

I guess most people follow brawl simply because they are either giving the game a chance or just trying to keepp their community together.

 

[Eggm]

I"ve been to 2 brawl tournaments, and at both I ended being bored and playing melee more than brawl at them lol. Then had people join me who also said "wow this is much more fun" Not a lie either. Ask around.

 

[Deadandlivin]

I've been at some brawl fests with lotsa people.
The matches are intense, you sit there together on the floor tapping the buttons like there is no tomorrow while the crowd in the back cheers with you.
Eventhough the fights feel like two guys playing bowser on slow motion mode[

Anyhow, after a few matches someone usually screams out, lets play melee instead and we start to feed out that crappy brawl disc to put in an good'ol melee disc to play fox vs fox on FD, no items, 4 stocks.

Generally thats what happens, the rest of the day(s) we play melee and have crazy laughs at stupid things that get messed up in matches and stunning moments when no ones breath while one of the smashers is pulling of an insane combo.

Simply, brawl is funny when you wanna try a new character out, but eventully you find out that the character sux and is boring to play and pick another one to do the same.
The music in brawl though rocks, but i still prefer to turn it off having only sound on playing Soilwork, Ill Nino, All That Remains e.tc. in the background.

Melee tournements will probably die and Brawl tournments will revive.
Durning the Brawl tournment people will play melee instead.
That's what i think'll happen.

I couldn't say it better myself

Eggm is pure win

Dude, new plan: From now on we go to EVERY Brawl tournament we can and do nothing but play Melee. Eventually everyone will realize how much more fun Melee is and we'll have successfully saved the Melee community.

GO TEAM VENTURE!

 

[Surri-Sama]

Melee will endure the same fate as Smash64 at the hands of its newer rival, new rivals allways win btw

 

[PurinPuff]

I would have to agree that melee is just more competitive. But that owes generally to the fact that there are so many technical moves that you could do to make you better (ie: wavedash etc...). The way I see it is that the developers didn't make melee with the intention of people wavedashing. While that does separate a lot of casual gamers from the competitive ones it is also nice to see that brawl caters more towards the gamer who doesn't want to learn how to wavedash to play well. I think that in time, like most games before, brawl will replace melee. However, I'm positive that melee will be sticking around for a long time.

 

[Kio Iranez]

If Melee really suffers the same fate as SSB64 (which is unlikely due to Melee being more popular as a competitive game), the era of Competitive Smash will end very soon. Truth be told, Brawl is competitive, but it can never reach the peak that Melee set because there is much more luck involved and there is less technical ability to be attained.

the same could be said about melee 4 months after it came out, just wait and see mah' man, wait and see

Opinion!

You know I think Brawl will eventually be the winner.

On the other hand Melee is idd more tactical than brawl.
Plus there`s no stupid random slipping.

But I don`t rly like stuff like wavedashing.
Smash bros wasn`t made to be played like that.
It makes a gap wich is hard to get over.
That`s why I like brawl over melee.
But I keep playing melee too!

(I like fights without techs, but That`s my opinion ok?)

That's what you're suggesting, though.

SSBM was a game. It was created to generate revenue, and as a tradeoff for blowing $50 on a tiny mini-disc, you got to experience, firsthand, the phenomenon known as "fun."

I could care less about how you think the game was meant to be played, for that holds just about no weight any logical argument.

Please, don't post a blatantly stupid comment, and expect to avoid flames by posting "it was my opinion" right after said inflammatory comment. It's not going to work.

 

[Kio Iranez]

Smash was made to be played with your friends and have fun. All the rules to the game are enforced by limitations on you, by the game. You can play it however you want, but there is no set way to play unless the game itself doesn't let you.

Also, certain people like bridging that gap. It's fun for them. Not everyone has fun the same way.

You're entitled to your opinion, but don't administer it like fact.

 

[Grmo]

I've been to several Brawl tournaments. I hated them. I think I had fun during one match. Sure, Brawl's got competative potential, but Melee's got more. I mean, there is actually LESS that you can do. It's slower, it's frustrating, and there's no rush of excitement. This is a mutual agreement among most (keyword most) people who have played in a few tournaments already. There are so many reasons. Hardly any combos, mindgames are inefficient, edgeguarding is impossible for characters that don't have multiple jumps or wings...the list just goes on and on.

Then there's the issue of tripping. Do you remember why items are banned? If not, it's because a lucky item span can change the outcome of a match. Really though, that should be decided by skill and not a lucky item spawn. Items can skew the results of a match. Tripping is the same. A lucky chance that you trip and your opponent wins, when really you should have won, just screws it all up. You can't turn it off. I'm sorry, but that's the last straw. Brawl should be banned from tournaments.

 

[NeoZ]

I could beat some of my friends without getting Ko'ed in Melee, but in Brawl it's usually 50/50. That is what makes Brawl less competitive, the randomness and that being better doesn't mean winning.
Why would anyone go to a tournament where they're playing for money(or not) if training and effort won't make you win? It's like going to a coin flipping tournament, except the coin takes a lot longer to fall.

Melee will endure the same fate as Smash64 at the hands of its newer rival, new rivals allways win btw

That makes no sense, you're saying newer=better, take Sonic or Megaman(classic/x/legends>>>>newer MM's) games for example, does that apply?
Absolutely not.

 

[trademark0013]

i dont see how a game so slow can have competitive standing.... at all

 

[xyouxarexuglyx2]

Brandon, are you talking about me?

Um, I agree with everything you said... but I think you quoted the wrong post.

 

[LOL_Master]

i go to brawl tournies to piss and **** on those

 

[Bailey]

No see you guys are still not noticing the big picture.

BRAWL CAN SUCK MY BAWLS <--- c wut i did thar

 

[Miharu]

bawls is a good drink who agrees

 

[JTB]

I agree, I like the taste of bawls in my mouth.

 

[trademark0013]

[Crizthakidd]

[trademark0013]

^^^^^ lulz

 

[LOL_Master]

mmmm bawllls

 

[TheLake]

bawls is a good drink who agrees

I dipped my head in a bucket of ice cold water to get some at a convetion i went to. I love bawls <3

Melee will win in the long run. The word is longer for crying out loud than measly ol brawl. Err well at least it SOUNDS err....itsmorecompetitiveandhasmewtwo! *runs*

 

[FrostedSoul]

I would find it hard to join a brawl tornament because in my opinion brawl doesnt represent a real competitve 1 on 1 game.Considering most are seen as fast paced and possesing the ability to combo.I migth be wrong, but ive never heard of a slow paced competitive 1 on 1 game.

 

[SunriseW12]

See, I would, by all means, go back to melee. I really would. But the sad fact for me is that no one around here plays, there is no really useful online for it, and there is no real way for me to get better/have fun.

It's truly sad though. I played melee a few minutes yesterday and was amazed at how fast the gameplay went. It was like a dead place inside me had been filled...

But really, the melee tournament scene will die. No one will endorse it. But since the melee tournament scene will die, ALL of smash tournaments will die, seeing as how, like everyone has said, brawl won't have as long a lifespan as melee, not by a long shot.

thats because brawl wasnt meant to be competative

 

[PityLord]

I dont ****ing care anymore wich is more competetive. Reason? I dont live in the states. I live in Poland. In this country people are recently starting to realize how Nintendo is good actually. Im planning to start a tourney scene no matter what since Melee was nonexistent competetively here. Brawl at least has chance since:

1) Its new. And
2) No one will ****ing compare those 2 different games .

I always were in pain when I couldnt play my favourite game with someone who could compete with me. With Brawl I might change that.

So yeah Melee IS more competetive but here where I live it doesent matter .
