Using Melee to train for Brawl

[Tobi-]

Play Melee for Link. I hear he plays basically the same execpt with more speed power.

However, lay off the projectiles. They've changed. /boohoo.

(I liked the old boomerang! So sue me.)

lol, just noticed it is your 1,000th post.

i'm sure you've heard this a million times but this is a new game. i play melee quite a bit (at least once a day) but i know its gonna be different.

It may be different but you can still play brawl on the classic controller/gamecube layout. (it's not completely pointless to play it a bit)

the people that say this is pointless are pretty much saying that a melee and or ssb64 verteran will have no advantages what so ever over someone who has never played melee or ssb64 or havnt played it much...lol i think that is sooo complete and utter crap! of course a hardcore player of melee and or ssb64 would have several advantages when starting brawl! these games are not that much different to where training on a previous wouldnt matter at all! who would u bet your money on if on day one a ssb64/melee vet vs someone who hasnt played the previous serious or hasnt played them much???

As far as control wise, if your using the gamecube layout you have a definite advantage.

If not so, then your going to have a ton of experience in different stratics and chaining combos with characters, so in my opinion, if you have played it of course you'll have the edge in combat.

From the reviews and hands on whatever, it sounds like its good to have Melee fresh in your mind, while its true that Brawl is different, it would seem that Melee experience helps a bit

Also, I will TOTALLY look up spoilers after the Japan release, Im just that kind of person...Ill regret t later of course

Right there with you, going to have to look up Meta Knight, Diddy, Sonic.

the same with me, as soon as the spoilers are up that were I will be.

I was thinking of training by using melee for brawl but its kinda pointless because brawl is a different game.

See, I was ready to barge in and say "No point." but then I realized that the Smash Bros games have a feeling all their own. So for a NOOB who wants to buy Brawl, I'd say get melee. But for experienced players, no.

 

[Machspeed]

It really all depends, for example when I see a new challenger im not going to try out the new controller layout. Going to switch over to gamecube to be sure I get him real good.

Trying to learn how to use motion sensing controller in brawl going to take some time though.

Well training specifically for Brawl is indeed pointless

The advantage one carries over games is mental... not technical

Actually you can turn youself around with b moves...just not the neutral B move

How do you do that? I've always tried to turn around with a neutral B, but I end up doing a Forward B in the direction I'm trying to face.

...I'll try to figure it out the next time i play.
