i thought i realized i didn't like barlw when i first played it, due to it still being too slow and floaty for my taste, but now i know.

it was when i saw this video LOL
why do people want barlw to WD so bad?
why don't they just pick up melee?

Yeah seriously. People spend their time trying to make Brawl into a viable competitive game, meanwhile there's a perfect smash bros. game sitting right in front of them already, that's already tournament standard and better than Brawl+ could ever be. >_<;;

yeah seriously.
i've been saying that a lot. lol

and it's not because i'm a melee fanboy or anything.
it's because barlw isn't supposed to be the same.
they're different.
and people are trying to make one like the other and it's a little irritating.

After the latest changes made to Brawl+ that supposedly made it good, I doubt now that they could even make Brawl as equally good as Melee.

maybe after 7 years of pure hacking... don't you all think the effort could be better placed in learning to melee????

It's not hard to understand. People want melee with 35 characters. That's Brawl+. When they get it right, I'll definitely jump ship. For now, I'm still playing Melee

It's a wasted effort... >_>

It will never ever be like Melee. They'll have to re-program the whole **** game. And even then, MELEE WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER!

Brawl+ is a losing uphill battle.

Even IF they manage to get it right, and make Brawl a viable competitive game, they're gonna have a hard time getting tournaments to run with Brawl+ standard. Plus, it will alienate so many new players or people who don't want to hack it. I'm pulling this out of my *** right now, but I'm pretty sure the majority of the Brawl community is against hacking the game in tourneys.

Seriously, they should just play Melee. We need more people (that care more about competitive smash) anyway.

i don't hate brawl... you just have to accept that it's a different game.

Uuh guys? Brawl+ isn't supposed to be Melee. Its supposed to be a better (though alternate) game then Brawl.

And aren't we able to play both Melee and Brawl+ (and even all 3 if someone actually likes regular Brawl)?

*sigh*

We know that. If Brawl+ becomes widespread/standard I will definitely play that in addition to Melee (and 64). I'm just saying it seems like a wasted effort to desperately hack together a competitive smash bros. game when Melee is already there.

You guys are all idiots when it comes to Brawl+.
If you don't like it fine, but really? Is it necessary to be flaming it? Nobody is trying to turn it into Melee.
If you think it's a wasted effort, stop talking about it.
Besides, how do you know that it won't become better than Melee?
Slamming their efforts saying it will never be as good/good enough is just being elitist.

I think Brawl+ has a chance to be good, but I don't think it has a chance to be better than Melee, imo.

I wasn't flaming it at all, though I was probably a bit harsh calling it a wasted effort. I understand what they're doing, and if I had the necessary tools to do so, I'd hack my Wii and get Brawl+ just for kicks. It just ticks me off that these people act like Brawl+ is the only thing they can do, and many of them don't want to play melee because it's "dieing". The only way Melee would ever die is because of those people that dismiss it solely because it's old or they think it's dead even though it's not. They also sometimes dismiss Melee because it's hard for new players to get into, or that new players don't play it or w/e, and meanwhile they're banking on a completely hacked version of Brawl to enrich the tournament scene.

It's kind of sad that the community has even come to the point where it starts severely modding smash to suit their tastes. I completely understand their motives in doing so, but it just bothers me that a lot of them don't even consider playing Melee still, even though they appear to care so much about the competitive side of smash.

That's all I'm saying.

Well yes, of course. I'm talking about those who just abandoned melee.
Click to expand...
it's not that they abandoned it.
it's more like... they had hope for a new smash... and it let them down.

but instead of going back to what they liked, they're trying to make it so they won't have to.

Ranting is a good thing to get things off your chest, Vulcan.

I'll simmer off, now.

I respect the things people try to do with Brawl. I just like to criticize.

Hola.

I can't say that I don't like Brawl, at least in the way that (I guess) many people here have stated it. I'm pretty casual.

Thing is, when you hit stuff in Brawl... it always comes back. It takes forever to fall down. It's really hard to attack things. Edge guarding is nearly impossible. And they didn't add Ridley.

Melee, however, you hit stuff and it dies. And if it doesn't die you can edge guard or combo it if you're good. Attacking things is easier unless it's Marth (I hate being outspaced). And Ridley isn't as big of a deal because it's Melee.

Perhaps the only upside of Brawl is that more people play it and Wario's Hog. That thing is awesome. I probably have a better chance at winning cash in Brawl too since my tech skill sucks.

I have to say, I sorta like Brawl. But I like Melee. Better.
