Why do you play Brawl competitively?

[sammy p]

..... idk... ive gotten very competitive over the last few months!!! hahahah

 

[Scabe]

Because it's fun and seriously challenging! ...But challenging in a good way!
And is it me or is everyone like lampooning Brawl?

 

[AKARed]

I think everyone is just lampooning brawl.

 

[Slasherx]

To make people get pissed off from my Ice climber CG.
Then when they try it, fail...lawl

For me it just gives me something to do that is interesting. Going to tournaments is really fun/interesting because you meet people from all over the place (and country). Looking back 10 years from now most people will probably not remember that they went to [insert random party #100] but I will remember how I traveled from Maryland to San Fransisco to Las Vegas for tournaments, staying with and meeting other people, having fun not-even-playing-the-game.

Basically its more of an extra - ordinary life.

Oh, and its a nice way to see the country. I've been to like every corner of Ohio/Maryland/Virginia for tournaments and been to every major region of the country. You know those movies about how a bunch of highschool/college type kids go on a road trip and have the time of their lives? That's basically what its like going to some of the Smash tournaments I've been to. Crazy adventures.

That's such a great way of putting it. It's so true.

 

[soap]

I find other excuses to travel

but smash gets me free housing lolol

smash is fun wtf no explanation needed

 

[Mewter]

-I play competitively just to get better at the game.
-Brawl made me worse at Melee.
-I completely forgot how to wavedash. (Lol...)

That's basically why I play Brawl.

 

[BrawLBlazer]

I play Brawl basically to have fun by beating others who deem themselves as great because they can "beat lvl 9s" and always win on Basic Brawl with anyone.

1. It's challenging. It makes you think & try to outsmart & outskill your opponents. And that is...
2...a lot funner then playing low level smash.
3. I also play because I like meeting/hanging out with awesome people & I never ever liked the idea of playing alone! :D
4. The Smash Bros. games are my favorite games of all-time, hands down, & I just flat out love them.
5. People have some awesome smash "mini-games," & I figure I'll learn a lot more of 'em! XD

 

[thanortinzak]

Because I like to win, and playing Brawl competitively means that you play to win.

 

[Today]

Ooh~! It's really fun and it gives me something to do! I enjoy playing competitively but for the fun more than the money. And you get to meet so many awesome people at tournaments!

 

[G-Beast]

I play it competitively because playing CPUs the same ways gets very boring... and i was always one to take my game to the next level(as in get good at it/find/do everything).

i also met good people IRL who played competitively and they gave me a chance to improve my game more then ever... I do not regret my involvement in competitive brawl even in the slightest, for it is my favorite game of all time so far

Amen to this

 

[*CT*]

I want to be the very best, that..... you know the rest.

Not really why exactly, but I haven't brawled at all competitively...yet.

 

[Korpocalypse]

I enjoy playing the game, but after beating all your friends it can get boring.
I like to play competitively because I really like playing someone, losing badly, playing some other people, learning more stuff, and then maybe putting up a fight against the person i lost to earlier.
It's also a blast to meet so many other people who are interested in the exact same thing.
Oh, and the matches, especially between 2 really good players, can be extremely exciting.

 

[Mike B]

melee is too fast for my eyes and i do NOT have time to be elite.

it's more popular, more characters, laidback, wifi...

I agree with this guy but I do it because no one else in my state does play Brawl competitively.

Nobody in my area plays Brawl competitvely, it's pretty much a joke. I know a lot of people around my area who play it casually, but competitve Smash in general isn't big around Aurora & Oswego, IL.

If any competition is played around here, it's mostly Melee. Brawl in the midwest has seen a decline recently, which in my opinion is a good thing <3

 

[smashkng]

I don't play Melee seriously cause I suck hard with tap jump on and because it's too fast in gameplay. In Brawl I like the Anti-combo gameplay cause it makes heavies better (I like to live long stocks) and I like to use aerials to reduce momentum when knocked. Brawl doesn't suck.

I to didnt play competively but after watching some pro vids (yes DBR Xp) after a couple months I just wanted to play. Sure after some time you get frstrated with tech skill and meta game but you get it after a while. It is so much fun espicially if most of you r friends play

 

[Mars WonderBoy]

Brawl just has the atmosphere that Melee doesn't for me. Melee had Tap-Jump, L-Cancel, and random "AT's" that I wasn't really keen with. Brawl offers control changes, more varied gameplay, and more chars. It's a game only I and several others can enjoy.

The Louisiana scene needs to go to where you are.

Midwest is Melee central right now, and it's too good.

[CRASHiC]

Cut the Melee vs. Brawl talk or the thread will be locked

/pretends to be mod

 

[The Brigand]

Well, my first tournament was just this Sunday, and it was probably the most fun I've ever had playing Brawl.

So that's it. It's fun. It's very, very fun.

 

[IkeFiend]

If I don't play Brawl competitively, then Ike will reject me for being too nice. =[

 

[Xzax Kasrani]

Its an okay competitive game, takes a lot of thought, and is fun when your with a group of people and you play in tournament. I have been playing Smash compeititivley since Melee and I started late so I got hung onto Brawl since I was a new melee player when Brawl came out. I enjoyed it no matter how much crap I got from using MK since Feb 08.
