After an extended period now playing this game I have concluded

>>258590618
Fuck off.
I saw 30 seconds of fighting after waiting 2 hours on 56k to see what the game was about.
Picked it up and I had the best game that I have ever played in my life.

It is like you are younger then 15 and never even played the 64 version of smash

>>258591309
64 > Melee

>>258591614
But 64 pretty much evolved into melee.
Which was a good thing.
That is why I personally enjoyed it.
The next game was the retarded cousin who fucks pigs though.

Brawl is even slippery and brickery.

there is no frame buffer in melee

brawl has a buffer 5 or 6 frame buffer on inputs

that's probably why most brawl players say melee is "clunky"

>>258591806
>evolved
>good thing

Nah, neither of those things. Melee was more like 64 rebuilt from the ground up in an entirely different engine that didn't handle basic physics and momentum and collision the same so they had to make do with it.

>>258592090
Sorry for being stupid, but what exactly is a frame buffer?

>>258591614
theres a reason they added air dodging into the mix after 64

>>258592090
>Brawl players

Are these even a thing?

>>258592292

if an input is used early during another action, # of frames ahead that it will automatically be used at the soonest frame

>>258592024
Bricks aren't floaty and I'm pretty sure if you try to throw a brick it doesn't wait a tenth of a second to acknowledge that you've thrown it

>>258592303
For wavedashing?

>>258592472
totes bro : ^ )

>>258592208
No melee was pretty much a 60 fps version of 64 with a few new things added to the game that added to the complexity to the game that was being made.
At the time it is revolutionary.
to 14 year olds that only played brawl it is the worst thing on planet earth

>>258592407
That sounds like a good thing. I hate the idea of pressing a button during some shitty animation and nothing happening.

>>258592407
Ahh, so it adds some technical skill in terms of timing.

Of course Brawl fags would want the game to be easier.

>>258592320
All of 4chan.

>>258592654
Have you never played either of those games?

>>258592654
64 and Melee play nothing alike. 64 had a shitload of 0 to death combos.

>>258592292
It pretty much reads inputs before and after the optimal time which makes everything very lax, but very imprecise and can lead to unintentional actions. Like, in Melee you could run, jump, tap behind you, press B, and do a neutral B (like a Falco laser) behind you as you're jumping away. In Brawl, it's more annoying to do because the lax input buffer might detect the direction tab and B as a side special instead of a neutral one.

Brawl also has a frame delay. I forget how much, I think 2, which means no matter what every action you do is coming out 2 framers layer than it should. I have no idea why this was implemented. It, in combination with the input buffer, makes Brawl a sluggish game.

I don't like it compared to Brawl. I feel like I have more control over the character in brawl, but that's probably because I played Brawl more. I also love going really deep to chase people off-screen and I can't do that in Melee.

You can definitely do that in melee, if you're skilled enough. Certain characters like Peach, and Jigglypuff can do it very well do to floatyness.

>>258593531
Still running the last version before they changed the load screen to the new bullshit. What's wrong with recoveries?

>>258590618
Slippery how? Unless you mean how you're turning, that's called either a pivot or a dash dance. If you dont turn correctly or arent fast enough you'll slide yes. That's more user error than the games issue itself, it's one of the most tight and responsive games in existence

I heard they're nerfing recoveries on armada's stream. Armada himself didn't say it but there's a strong chance its true.

I think there's very few people who prefer Melee/Project M and don't suck absolute shit at them and barely display any intermediate skills. They can't properly/don't know about DI, can barely follow up on their hits, can't deal with any sort of decent edge guarding.

Might as well play Brawl where you won't get killed at 50% because you suck shit at the game..

I won a local melee tournament playing only pichu

does that count?

I've been playing them all because of all the Smash 4 hype.
64,melee, brawl, project m.
Brawl is floaty, slow and clunky as fuck.
But Melee is slippery, too fast and too heavy.
64 feels perfect though, but it feels too primitive, not as much variety of abilities and effects but the speed and gravity and precision are perfect.
Project M is interesting. It's like a better Brawl in some ways.
Smash4 looks like a better Project M.

>>258594414
did i say i hated it? I just said it's dumb, i love playing on it if it's just a funsie match

>>258594530

No beat armada.
Lets see your pichu
Lets play.

64 is like kendo, Melee is like fencing. Just depends which you like. I like the deliberation and powerful striking of 64 but others like the speed and precision of Melee.

Everyone should get along.

I dunno what Project M or Brawl are like because I've never played them.

>>258594553
>Smash 4 a better P:M

What the actual fuck nigga

>>258595579
P:M is lacking on the balance and polish department. I'm not hating on it but it does show that it's a fanmade patch of another game.
It's still amazing but Smash 4 looks overall better to me.

Mandatory post in every Smash Bros. Thread

We're going to compare Melee to Brawl, and find out WHY casuals in this thread are dead wrong.

Melee: Mario vs Falco. Even in Pools, the action is intense. Unlike in Brawl.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVfvuHiLugw

- Fast air movement, faster falling speed, multiple movement options such as wavedashing allow for freedom of movement
- L-Cancelling and adequate hitstun allow for combos, albeit harder to do than in 64
- Gameplay that rewards both relentless offense and calculated, brief defensive play that is exciting to watch
- Overly campy, defensive gameplay can be punished


Now let's look at Brawl. This shit-fest was a Winner's Finals match, by the way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmGKl84HYt0

- Excessive zoning, camping due to DEFENSIVE GAMEPLAY being heavily rewarded, while OFFENSIVE GAMEPLAY is heavily punished(unless you're Metaknight)
- No L-Cancelling, no hitstun (immediate airdodges after getting hit), floaty physics, increased knockback on moves effectively removes combos from the game (no, doing an attack that has three hits and landing all three does not count as a combo), further hurting offensive gameplay
- Slow, campy, unexciting gameplay that is unsuited for spectators to watch

Bonus: The link I am about to put here is everything wrong with Brawl shown in a few minutes. It includes Scarflard getting salty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQsivruSEEE

All of Brawl's miscomings culminates into this.

Camping for a percentage lead until time runs out has become an actual tactic. Players look for one or two uncommitted slaps at each other before running off to their own side of the stage.

At the end, Diddy Kong wins, despite what the victory screen says.

When getting one LAST slap in is more important than eliminating the opponent, there is something wrong.

inb4 but t-t-those are glitches! Pic related, motherfucker.

>>258595304
brawl is nerf bats and helmets and suits of armors and your only allowed to hit your enemy one time every 10 seconds
ssb4 is going to be this but instead of the suit of armor its like normal clothing so the characters have almost good speed.

>>258595858
>Sakurai
>in charge of balance

>>258595858
The only smash game to have good balance is 64. Not even counting Project M here.

Smash 4 demo's balance was terrible as well

I don't think there's one person in here claiming Brawl is better than Melee.

Brawl being so floaty it made attacking hard, or tourneyfags being tryhard scum that use cheap tactics don't change the fact that Melee turned into shit when people start l cancelling, wavedashing and abusing all those other advanced techniques.

Defending those techniques is just a sad attempt at justifying themselves from the tournneyfags that are still crying because an obviously game breaking unintended mechanic was removed from the game.

Wavedashing is never ever coming back because it was not intended.
The only reason it existed is that Sakurai didn't think it would be used so he didn't invest time and resources to implement an artificial limit to the amount of momentum that could be transferred to horizontal movement from the air and the GC couldn't manage balance patches.
Otherwise a patch would have taken care of it as soon as it became an issue.

>>258597054
>Brawl players

Do these exist?

Brawl>Melee>64
You know it's true play Melee again it doesn't do Smash justice. Brawl was pretty much Melee but improved and no i'm not baiting. I played 64 first then Melee then Brawl, and Brawl is pretty much just more of what you had before, but better. It's fun, it can be plenty competitive, and at the same time newcomers can at least TRY and play and learn the mechanics a little easier.

>>258593531
3.5 is going to be a entirely new game.

I hope you guys main at least 3 characters because at least one of them is going to get completely fucked.

Also now is a good time to pick up ganondorf

>>258597064
How do you abuse the advanced techniques? Aside from L canceling most if not all are punishable.

>>258595858
That's not enough to say 4 is a better P:M, because basically 4 is quite like brawl with small tweaks for what I have seen. Plus the balancing was quite horrible in every smash, recoveries appart i feel like PM is the most balanced at least characterwise.

>>258597064
Thank you. Although I disagree about attacking being hard in Brawl, I didn't find it that hard personally the few times I've played Brawl with my buddy

>>258597138
>Brawl is pretty much just more of what you had before, but better.

People have been playing melee for 13 fucking years.

People have clearly shown that Brawl is simply Melee, but objectively worse.

>>258597138
I play Melee everyday over Brawl, it isn't true.

I like Brawl and Project M. I'd like Project M more if I didn't have to do so much just to be decent at it. L cancelling is just tedious. Wave dashing is slightly better, but not by much.

Brawl made attacking hard in general, it's a mix of many things that buffed defense and made offense worse like buffs to shields or making control in the air worse and some offensive abilities were nerfed all over the place.

Pichu Bros, because it's a necessary buff for Pichu and you can play as solo pichu by holding down R.

Isaac, because a magic user is what PM needs.
Lyn, because I know it's going to happen no matter what.

>>258597653
Yea same but I still like Brawl just a little more.
Like before the rampant fanboys attack me here I just find it more fun and easier to control. Yes it's floaty but I find it more easy and less stressful that way, and if I WANT to make Brawl stressful and challenging, I can do that. I reason I like Brawl more than Melee is because I have more options to play, and more ways to play, and more content. Yes on a competitive level im sure Melee is better I guess, but I always found Brawl made for a more competitive fight as the defense buffs and offense nerfs and such made kills more justified because you had to damage the opponent a good amount before the finishing blow.
Maybe I'm just a fag, I don't know, I just like Brawl more than Melee for a lot of different things and it feels like they put the most heart into Brawl.

>>258592320

The hyper defensive play is really only apparent at high levels, which barely anyone here is at. I play offensively at all times with my friends and we have fun. I do plenty of combos at low percent and high percents.

Just because the pros play one way doesn't mean it's the only way to play.

>>258597590
True.
But in this case we're talking about gameplay techniques that didn't interact equally with all characters, so they further made the balance even worse.
They break the purpose of the game, which was to make a type of fighting game that could be approached by everyone.
They mess with the pacing of the combat by giving players tools the combat was not intended to have.

>>258598578

sounds like it will be better than brawl from what i've heard, concerned about the apparent lack of smash di though

>>258598393
Yes because brawl isn't a game that evolves over time, unlike Melee that still makes changes on tierlists because of newfounds things (Yoshi's parry for example), it changes metagame and everyone evolves, you get the idea

>>258598380
I disagree but at least your argument made sense. I think 64 is best.
Yes I know i'm sad but I can't stop my nostalgia

>>258598581
>I do plenty of combos at low percent and high percents.

I don't think I've seen a Brawl combo in my life that wasn't just utilts chained together or MK uairing someone off the screen

Why do people criticize project m for having only offensive playstyles when zelda exists

>>258598846
by a bit, but thats not hard, and still doesn't make it good

>>258590618
Only bad thing about Melee is character balance and gameplay.

>>258598684
This isn't even close to true. Advanced techniques benefit every character equally some characters like Luigi have a longer wavedash than others but you have to know how and when to use it.

>>258598883

I've seen combos like that, but they're stupid situational stuff like Ike's combat walk thing on Ganondorf and Captain Falcon's Nair infinite on ROB.

>>258598854
Yoshi's parries aren't exactly new, but they were disregarded for a long time because the tech skill required to pull them off consistently was supposedly too high for practical purposes.
That is, until aMSa made his way to the United States.

>>258598883
>I've never seen a combo in my life that wasn't attacks chained together
That's what a combo is moron.
But actually there are actual combos in Brawl

>>258597523
>Plusle & Minun as a Pichu Climbers character with Pichu playable as a hold R easter egg like Sopo
>Isaac for Golden Sun representation and a cool potential moveset
>Black Shadow because I like the Black Shadow gets Ganondorf's moveset and Ganondorf gets a new moveset that matches his character better idea
>Midna because Midna with Wolf Link would be a cool playstyle imo and quadruped characters in fighting games are neat

>>258598684
>But in this case we're talking about gameplay techniques that didn't interact equally with all characters, so they further made the balance even worse.
Neither does any other move each character has. They didn't make balance worse, they made balance better. Characters like Ice Climbers and Luigi would be god awful without wavedashing but are improved because of it, while characters like Peach don't use it and don't need it.
>They break the purpose of the game, which was to make a type of fighting game that could be approached by everyone.
Nigga wavedashing isn't hard. If it was in the manual you wouldn't even be complaining. It's simplistic shit and it's easier than the most basic "traditional" fighting game inputs.

>>258599128
It's pointlessly difficult to use, which goes against the overall style of the series which is to make things simple.
Being in the manual would not change that.
And even if wave dashing was assigned a button to automatically do it, it would still be unbalanced and it would still be changing the dynamics of the combat. It changes movement, approaches, dodging, attacking, viable attacks at any given time, the importance of certain offensive and defensive abilities, etc.
Smash with advanced techniques is simply not smash, it's something else.

>>258599679

all of those can be escaped with smash DI

watch a TAS of Brawl, the potential level of smash DI is fucking ridiculous

You gotta hand it to the Smash competitive players. Melee players, specifically.

They're a group of good people that enjoyed playing the game fast, and got the attention of Sakurai. They got his attention and he didn't like what he saw. Because of them, Brawl changed everything and it even had random tripping, as if punishing players for wanting to dash constantly.

Think about that for a second. A couple thousand people basically made Sakurai lose his fucking shit SO HARD that he opted to change the entire game physics, gimp the mobility, nerf everything and casualize it to fuck... because he was scared that these players would defeat less skilled players.

In what other series has this ever happened? And the crazy part is that Sakurai has somehow persuaded the majority to go against the competitive players. In that recent interview Sakurai pretty much admitted that he wanted a more casual audience, something that the people of /v/ hate to hear... yet everyone supports him because "it's just a party game".

This entire thing is pretty insane when you think about it. Then you get response from the competitive scene with things like Brawl mods, Project M being the big one. It's like a really messed up cold war that has been going on for years now. It's pretty neat.

>mfw ever Smash thread comes down to Melee vs Brawl arguing while I just chill on master race 64

L-Cancelling was an intended mechanic. The fucking tutorial teaches you how to do it.

>>258599949
I think the funniest thing wasn't the Brawl mods, it was the fact that despite everything Brawl was still played competitively for it's entire life span.

>>258599585
they were talking about comboing in brawl.

>>258599850
>all of those can be escaped with smash DI
i think brawl is shit
but that doesnt mean its not a combo, thats what makes smash bros great, no diala combos

>>258599679
>Fox's dair > anything
cant the other people just hold shield and the second move wont hit

>>258599949
Dipshit
Sakurai made the game casual because the Wii install base was too huge to expect anyone skilled to play the game and enjoy it

>>258599778

wavedashing is only really good for a few characters like luigi / marth

for a lot it's only used to get down on platforms or to recover from ledges more quickly...more efficient with falcon, fox, peach and most others to just crouch cancel a dash instead of wavedash

>>258599850

With TAS the potential level of anything is ridiculous.

And DIing properly gets you out of a lot of Melee combos as well. It's up to the attack to read them.

>>258600002
haha

>>258600085
>of its life span
That is kinda the thing. Melee should have died at Brawl but didn't because it had better gameplay

>>258600189

No seriously, brawl has far stronger smash DI than melee ever did. You have no idea man.

Look up "Fox vs Falco TAS" on youtube.

>>258600243
But Brawl still survived and thrived despite Sakurai trying to casualize the series.

"Fuck your bullshit Sakurai, we'll play the game the way we want."

>>258600408
Survived yes, Thrived no

>>258600484
>Thrived no
It was bigger than Melee until the lead up to Evo 2013.

>>258600364

I realize that, but bringing up TAS isn't the greatest counterpoint since no human can possibly operate at that speed in actual play. It would be better to bring up a video of two people actually playing and showing all combos being shut down by smash DI.

>>258600169

as if even the most casual fucking casual would be able to enjoy Brawl and not Melee

it's not like 6 year old Jimmy is going to get mad because his 9 year old brother fucking wavedash chainshined him off of FD, he's going to get mad because he died when Yoshi put him in an egg and laid him off the stage or something retarded like that. I have no idea how Sakurai thought people being good at the game affected low-level play in any way

>>258600664

The Brawl scene was extremely forced everywhere. Melee players weren't as active as they are now. Most of them stopped playing because they hated Brawl and had nowhere else to go play.

>>258600713

it's easier to do and to greater effect in straight up feasible play to...any multi hit attack can easily be escaped

>>258599778
I don't like Shielding in smash. It's unbalanced, and it changes the dynamics of the combat. It changes movement, appraoches, dodghing, attacking, viable attacks at any given time, the importance of certain offensive and defensive abilities, etc.
Smash with shield is simply not smash, it's something ele

>>258597523
Since they could have been interesting newcomers but lost their chance:
Saki
Takamaru (I would like swordsmen with projectiles other than Link)
Goroh, an F-Zero rep we won't get this time, with nice moveset concepts
>but muh Falcondorf
google "Triforce Ganon"

Red, cause we'll never get a playable trainer and he could use items as attacks.
Jill, again because it would most likely never happen, it would be hard to created tought.

>>258600952
>The Brawl scene was extremely forced everywhere.
Because people obviously wouldn't just play what they want to play. Holy shit why can't you accept Brawl had a playerbase?

>>258600748

When I play with my casual friends in Melee or PM, 8 times out of 10, when I knock them off at 40-60% they don't get back on. 3 times out of 10 if I don't guard the edge.

Recovering is a pain in the ass. With Brawl even the shittiest shitter that can press Up + B will live to a 100%.

>>258600152

At higher percents you can't shield it. Or if you get caught jumping.

>>258592828

No it doesn't. It removes technical skill by forcing you to be slower in order to achieve the desired string of inputs. Which is counter intuitive to a game that revolves around who can hit the other player enough times the quickest.

>>258599932
Yeah it is easy but doing it right is hard.
Compare it to any normal action in smash.
Press A
Tilt and press A
Tilt and press A fast.
It's all extremely intuitive.
The game doesn't even feature more than 2 buttons for regular attacks.
Everything about smash was built with intuitive play in mind, love it or hate it, that's how the game is built to be.
Wavedashing requires practice to master properly. So difficulty wise even if it is not difficult it conflicts with everything else in the game.

>>258600187
The things you mention weren't meant to be done that easily though. So that right there is among the ways it changes the dynamics of combat.

>>258594263

>>258602360
Wave dashing is air-dodging (shield + direction) into a platform. That's not even remotely difficult to do. If you want to complain about tech being obtuse, complain about shield dropping.

God forbid Smash to have a skill ceiling.

The only people that like this game more than brawl are tourney fags and wannabe tourneyfags. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

>>258602602
I guess you just don't get it.
It's a mix of jumping, shielding, going down but not straight down and with a perfect timing of all 3 things only to do the wave dashing, which is to move forward.
Compare it to rolling around. Which only requires pressing shield and any direction.
It's just not the same kind of thing.
It's not even intuitive because from any common sense point of view it doesn't make sense at all to perform a dodge against the ground to somehow slide around.
If they actually wanted to embrace Wavedashing the first thing they'd do is assign a button to it and make it something like dodging or rolling, press wavedash button and press direction.
Not counting all the balance and gameplay they would have to change of course, that would come second.

>>258603913
How is it not intuitive? If you air dodge into the ground your momentum is conserved and you slide in that direction. Seems pretty intuitive to me.

>>258603190

Why dies the game seem so much faster when good people play it? It hurts to know I'll never be that fast.

>>258599778

What the fuck mate. Don'y you like variety, wave dashing presented players with a new movement option that you could use in substitute for dodges, as the dodge left you wide open at the end of it but gave you invincibility, while wave dashing allowed you to make actions during it but at the cost of being vulnerable throughout. Its perfectly balanced in its the first advanced technique anyone learns.

>>258604095
Because good people know how to consistently get the most mileage out of every input they do. In that 10 second clip there is no movement wasted and everything done has a purpose.

>>258604043
It's logical from a game mechanics point of view but not intuitive from a gameplay point of view.
Like if you wanted to move forward in a sliding fashion normally, in any random game, would dodging to the ground be the first thing you try?
I highly doubt so.

>>258604095

Its mostly due to L cancelling.

>>258604479
you literally missed the entire point

>>258597523
GODDAMNIT, THOSE ARE NOT THE PICHU BROS. ONE OF THEM IS SHINY, THE OTHER IS A NOTCHED EARED GIRL. How the fuck do smashfags not know shit about pokemon!?

>>258604526
Like pressing a button to do it is any more intuitive.
What's wrong with spending even a couple minutes learning a new tech?

>>258604720
there was no point

nobody fucking says what he was replying to in the first place

>>258604526
Game mechanics are not a part of the gameplay?

No, I doubt you'd try it, but somebody figured it out. And it's easy to explain and understand.

>>258604885
Wrong how? Morally, ethically? It's not wrong.
But if the being intuitive is part of the design goals behind smash bros, and we know it is, then wavedashing as it existed in melee would be a failure in that purpose.

>>258605228
wavedashing is intuitive, it makes complete sense

>>258605228
Wavedashing is a lot more intuitive than most things in any other fighting game.

>>258601204

No, people wanted to play where the money was. Plenty of good players played it because all they had to do was pick Meta Knight, practice a little, and they would win money.

>>258601204
M2K hates it but he plays it to win the money

>>258605483
That still doesn't make it nearly as intuitive as everything else in smash.
Even the strength of attacks is intuitive.
A tap for a quick weak attack, a tilt for a stronger attack and a smash for the strongest attacks.
Pressing the shield button harder makes the shield stronger.
Every character's moves are similar in style, they all follow the same commands.
Everything about smash is extremely intuitive and immediately natural to figure out through basic instinct.
Nothing takes more than one timed command.
One button, maybe a direction, always equals an action.
Wavedashing requires at least 2.
No ability requires as much timing either, they can all be executed with either a simple press, a tilt or a fast smash without failure while wavedashing requires a fine timing to even be used.
It just doesn't fit with anything else in the game, it should be clear why Sakurai said something about the gap between pro players and casual players becoming too big when he discussed removing it.

>>258606302
Brawl did nothing to shorten that gap.

Seriously, what would they even do to his recovery? Nigga dies at 20%

I just know they're gonna shit on my main (zard). I'm not sure what they could do beyond making Fly absolutely useless for recovery though.

>>258606383
The best players will always win, reducing the gap doesn't mean changing that. But it meant giving homogenizing the experience a bit. Things like wavedashing changed the game a lot, they made that gap something that wasn't purely built on the skill of the players but also the toolkits they were using, and in this case we are talking about a tool that was not accessible to a lot of people.
And that's very normal for fighting games but remember that smash was built to be a fighting game that didn't do that kind of things. It didn't require memorizing a combination or training to nail timing right to perform any attack or move intentionally so casuals and pros would at least fight with the same set of tools.
>>258606556
I'm only talking about wavedashing because it's the most popular topic but the same applies to other stuff like l cancelling that also got removed.
But yeah I am not really that into smash, but I do think I understand all the game design stuff Sakurai was trying to do with the game.

>>258607397
I don't even think Sakurai intentionally gimping the game succeeded at decreasing the skill level, take something like tripping for example. A casual player might like like one smash attack off of it but a good player would probably use that opportunity to chaingrab them to death. Brawl arguably has even more advanced tech and exploits used in competitive play than Melee, a lot of which are way more esoteric than wavedashing.

>>258607964
Seriously, just look at DACUS and tell me how that's any more intuitive than wavedashing.

I can't agree with you more.

The "You can't be a true Smash fan without being a true Nintendo fan" crowd is ridiculous, and it's annoying that there is enough of them to be able to call them a crowd.

Nintendo is such a large company and their IPs are incredibly different. So different that the vast majority of them don't appeal to me at all. Does that mean I shouldn't enjoy Smash because I have never played or wanted to play Fire Emblem or Animal Crossing?

>>258611028

Naturally. If you aren't interested in a SoL simulator, turnbased strategy, high paced racing, platforming, AND adventure games you clearly don't DESERVE to play Smash

I always assumed that too many infinite combos would be easily executable without friendly fire, or anything while your team mate has another player grabbed.

You are the type of person that would rather that Street Fighter not have combos either. After all, it was an unintended glitch.

>>258611404
>>258611167
Now it makes sense why Smash threads are nothing but shitposting and complaining. I fucking love Smash not only because it's a great game series with great gameplay, but the fact that it introduced me to Nintendo beyond Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. I didn't know who Kirby, Samus, or Fox McCloud was in 1999. Playing Smash has led me to play so many other games, and it's been a fucking ride. That's why Smash is my favorite Smash series. All you see is a normal fighting game. I never took the "just go play street fighter" fags seriously until now, they were right all along. I don't have an insult to call you, so I'm just going to refer to you as a normalfags or plebs. Fucking Meleefags, killing the hype and ruining Melee for everybody.

>>258612252
>how dare you enjoy a game differently than me!

>>258612252
Sorry that I don't like Kid Icarus or Star Fox bro. I didn't know that was a prerequisite for liking Smash Bros.

I like all of them, including mods like PM and Brawl Minus.

The only thing that bothers me is when someone says Melee is better because it has a higher skill ceiling/takes more skill/because advanced tech is better and they're shitty at the game anyway.

Also people who say Smash isn't a fighting game. It clearly is. Get over yourselves.

>>258612252
>getting this mad because someone doesn't give a shit about the pokemon anime
Holy shit you are incredible

I've owned every nintendo system sans the virtua boy and I was well familiar with every character in 64 when I first played it. Get over yourself. Not everyone has to go full autism over Nintendo's entire library like you. They can get just as much enjoyment out of the game as you do, possibly even more. Does this upset you?

>>258611028

It never made sense to me why Smash fans are so divided until now, because the very reason they love Smash is fundamentally different. While I'm on both sides, you guys clearly missed a huge point in Smash. What did you think the all the trophies, where the stages are based off, and all star cast were about? Wavedashing and muh advanced mechanics? Curbstomping "noobs" is fine and dandy, but you can do that in almost any competitive game. Smash is special. And it doesn't upset me, I'm just disappointed. Because Smash is great, but most faggots just don't get it. And when it comes to enjoyment out of Smash, I'd say I won there. Smash brought me to enjoy so many games, while I never stopped playing any Smash game. All you seem to enjoy is Melee and Project M. Maybe 64 but only if zero to death combos are involved.

>>258613432

I'm one of them.

>>258613501

>>258613646

I'm responding to bait, aren't I?

>>258611404
No, but you should go play Fire Emblem anyways.

Awakening's good shit

>>258593387

>>258613646
Yes, Sakurai should intentionally remove depth from the game in order to add... nothing.

What we have here is a failure to communicate

>>258607627
How the fuck does Popo get to the top platform that quick? I sort of understand most of that combo as just ridiculously skilled desync shenanigans but I have no fucking clue how he got up there that quick, that was like Falco's full hop wtf

>>258613858
I actually have played Fire Emblem. Not a fan. It was an example man. Like why would you expect a Pokemon fan to like F-Zero? Because they're both Nintendo games and both represented in Smash?

>>258590618
This anon fucking gets it. From a casual stand point, Brawl is smoother and easier to control. Casuals don't care about falling like bricks or sliding off stages, they just want fun. That's what Brawl is at it's core.

Melee is fun to competitive players, which is understandable. What grinds my gears is when fags try to push their obsession with Melee into others. Not everyone does this, but those few asses that do help divide the community.


tl;dr
Ignore trolls, play whatever you prefer and don't be an ass about it.

>>258613651

When did I say anything about Brawl taking out "advanced mechanics"? And stop bitching, 64 didn't have Melee's advanced mechanics, but people who like 64 the most aren't faggots who whine constantly about how the sequel mixed things up, nor did they expect Brawl to be Melee 2.0.

I semi-agree. Smash Bros has a charm to it that if any other character roster was developed but everyone had the same moveset, it'd kinda be boring.

At the same time, however, the gameplay > cosmetics always so fuck off. A videogame that sacrifices ANYTHING for fun, Story, Satire, social commentary, push an agenda, etcetera is AUTOMATICALLY SHIT

>>258614706
Yeah, nobody would say that about MvC because no one is retarded enough to shit on the people who don't give a shit about cosmic marvel and still play MvC.

You had a point until the strawman "STOP HAVING DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN ME" comment. I wouldn't enjoy Smash without the Nintendo characters, I never would have picked it up in the first place. I don't mind loving Smash for the gameplay, I just hate you faggots because all you do is complain that the new game doesn't play like Melee and try to ruin the hype for everybody else. And you are so self righteous about it, step off your fucking pedestal. "Obviously I'm narrow minded", you're such an asshole.

Sure sounds like some pissy fuck whining that people view Smash Bros. as a game and not just a glorified compendium of Nintendo fanservice.

Hate to say it, but since Robin got confirmed, I doubt there's any chance we'll see Isaac getting in. They'd both be characters using a mix of magic and swordplay, and if I recall correctly, Isaac's Japanese name in the Golden Sun games was also Robin, so they'd be a bit too "repetitive", you could say. Would've MUCH rather seen Isaac than Robin though, I've wanted him in since before Brawl, and not just as some fucking assist trophy bullshit.

>>258614689
It's only a downgrade because you personally didn't like the change. Many other people either did like the change, weren't involved enough in the mechanics to notice, or actually decided to adapt to a new game. Instead of complaing about it for 6 years and assuming the next game must be Brawl 2.0, and calling Sakurai the "George Lucas of "Gaming"".

Because otherwise some team could go 2 falcos and just spam lasers without worrying about their team mate and stunlock the enemy team. Additionally it opens up strategies like hitting your ally upwards when they are helpless offstage, or jabbing them to get them out of sleep or stun or recovery.

Instead of just making a wall of hitboxes, you need to consider your team mate's position and what they are doing more carefully to be successful.

>>258615828
Assuming they actually are. All we have to go on is that one leak, which, as with all leaks, is of dubious credibility.

I personally hope they don't add more characters and focus on balancing the existing ones.

>>258614689
>Melee
>straight upgrade from 64
Get your head out of your arse, Melee was a physics clusterfuck and a side grade at best. No doubt the thought process Sakurai went through when he kept wavedashing mechanics was the same thought process he went through when he kept tripping in Brawl.

>>258615452
It's both, and that's why it's great. It has both unique gameplay and a crossover of sorts that can't be seen anywhere else. But that doesn't matter to you.

Please tell me how things like mandatory frame delay on every input and removing momentum from jumping are objectively an improvement.

Why the fuck should they adapt to something that they don't like? Mew2king is one of the world champions of Brawl despite despising the game and admitting he only plays it for money so clearly it's not like Melee players can't adapt.

What bothers me about anti-Meleefags is that because some people take Melee more seriously than others they act like the game wasn't a perfectly fine party game as well. I loved Melee for years and didn't think anything of a competitive scene, I just played it with friends.

You fuckers act like one or some of your group went and got good at the game and that just ruined Melee for you.

>>258616119
64 has too much hitstun, it makes the game into a footsies fest that is all 0-death combos

>>258616195
By that logic Project M is shit because M2K hates that too.

>>258615763
I never claimed to be superior or even good, I just called you guys faggots for being the poison that makes the Smash community so shitty because you missed a huge point of the series and latched on to the other huge point. And unlike you, the people who are casual and only play because they love Nintendo don't complain for 6 years (and counting) about changes in gameplay, as if Sakurai broke into your house an raped you mom after breaking your Melee disc in half.

>>258615163

>>258616415
Except he doesn't, stop spreading misinfo

He just thinks that if you're only good at PM, you're just exploiting 'gimmicks'. He also said he likes the game.

>>258616023
Melee added side specials, more throws, pummeling, ability to escape grabs, airdodging, sidestepping, walljumping, wall teching, balanced shields to make defense more viable but not overpowering, and added DI which made combos less guaranteed.

>>258616443
I'm too full to eat any more, anon. You'll have to take the rest of it.

He says it's almost as good as Melee, just not as technical and made some dumb decisions balancing the characters which is an understandable opinion.

I don't hate Meleefags because they love Melee. I love Melee just as much, hell, I think the gameplay is better than Brawl's, too.

No, you're just not allowed to moan and bitch about it, and go into thread specifically to stir up some shit about how the game will be complete shit because it doesn't have Melee's mechanics, thus making it "Brawl 2.0". Your opinion is fine, but the fact that you want to ruin Brawl and Smash 4 for everybody else because it's not "muh Melee" makes you a faggot.

>>258616982

Frame buffering is only good if you are some retard that just spams moves at random. If you want to put some actual finesse into your moves then it does nothing but get in your way.

Yes.

I never said anything about being a "TRUE FAN", and I never said that you being a faggot makes you inferior to me. I'm just making the clear observation that you're a faggot, as are all the people who like to moan and whine and try to stir up shit for 6 years because Sakurai tried to appeal to a new demographic, just like he did when he made the jump from 64 to Melee.

>>258590618
Smash is shit. People who play it are shit.

>>258617872
So you're saying it should be more like Melee? Because it's not like Brawl, it doesn't even have tripping. It's a lot more like 64 but balanced enough so it doesn't have zero to death combos. But no, playing Smash like most people do makes it Brawl. Remember when you played Melee before you became "competitive"? It plays like that.

>>258617963
I was in it, it was pretty nice. Not at all typical though.

>>258618065
>I never said anything about being a "TRUE FAN"

I'm an honestly concerned for you at this point. You apparently have some sort of disability where you're compelled to lie compulsively. Or maybe you just don't know the meaning of the words you use? You're a strange one.

>>258616982

Frame buffering doesn't work in smash.

There is too much going on, in a traditional fighting game if you hit with X move, you know that your opponent will be in A seconds of hitstun, so you can quickly use Y move that you know is a followup.

In smash, you have to take into consideration %s, DI, SDI, and then you actually have to follow up with some jumping/more advanced movement. It just doesn't work. It ends up making your fuck up more than anything else.

>>258618025
Cosmo pls go

>>258618336
I remember being able to follow up on my hits when I played Melee as a scrub.

>>258618336
>It's a lot more like 64 but balanced enough so it doesn't combos
So nothing like 64 then

>>258618336
Where the fuck did people get this idea that Smash 4 = 64 from? I hear people (mostly anti-Meleefags) parrot this all the time but I've never seen anyone actually explain how Smash 4 is like 64, and no credible source that I've seen has ever likened Smash 4 to 64.

>>258618987

More kill throws. That's about it really.

Which is dumb, because kill throws are lame and gay and no one likes them.

>>258604398
KoF isn't even that hard. It's just the combos.


VF is probably one of the most advanced FGs there is.

>>258618987
It's because the game is visibly nothing like Melee, and they don't want to associate with Brawl which they know they can't really defend. So they go for 64, because it's a decent game and people like it.

>>258618810
So apparently you were doing zero to death combos the moment you picked up the controller after turning the game on for the first time? It's like saying Melee is unplayable without wavedashing.
>>258618543
You can do that in Brawl, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it be in between Brawl and Melee in combo potential. It doesn't need to have Melee's exact combo system or 64's zero to death combos.

>>258618363
What the fuck is frame buffering? Wat?

This is coming from a traditional FG player.

>>258613996
he jumps close to the top of the first jump so he never really decelerates, then wavelands once he hits it. plus what >>258614183 that guy said

>>258619086
Throws do seem to be more powerful, but even that's not across the board. Mario's back throw in particular seemed very nerfed. I remember that it failed to kill or even get near the blast zone at 150% near the ledge.

>>258619268

Input buffering rather.

Being able to input your next moves for a brief moment while your currents move animations are still playing you instantly do your next move the second you revert back to a neutral non-attacking animation.

>>258595863
In my opinion melee is just more offensive, while brawl is more defensive.
While melee is fast and combos can be executed nicely, defensive play doesnt offer as much as offensive play, thus every match in melee becomes a jumping and wavedashing shitfest without the players concerned about their positioning.Guarding in melee is quite nonexistent too.
In the other hand brawl rewards defensive play more than offensive play because of the characters not moving as fast in melee and wavedashing is gone.This kind of gameplay enables strategical play, but it also enables camping or extreme zoning thus making the game quite boring.
But I think this kind of gameplay only applies to some characters.
here is an offensive brawl match :

>It's not like Melee
>They don't want to associate it with anti christ Brawl
>But it's not Melee, so it's shit, and they say it's like 64 because people like it
People like Brawl, you know. It sold so well, it's crazy. Sold better than Melee, your "superior" game, by a long shot. And, again, it looks a lot like 64 without zero to death faggotry, which you cannot see because that's all you see in 64.

>>258619206
>You can do that in Brawl
Hardly. Hitstun's a joke and it's possible to air dodge after 13 frames no matter how much hit stun you've sustained. This makes followups difficult anywhere beyond 20% and it's difficult to pull off "true combos" like in Melee and 64.

64's meta is defined by the 0-to-death combos. Much like how Melee's defined by its fast pace and how Brawl's defined by its safe, campy playstyle. People fear that the game will be too safe and will reward the defensive playstyle that Brawl encourages, which is dull as hell to watch and even less entertaining to play.

>>258619430
But it doesn't work like that at all. It's only stick movements, like if I connected a low medium kick with Sakura on USF4 and was buffering the shouoken movement, I can just hit jab and it will do the combo.

It's just called buffering and doesn't function at all how you described.

Spacing is incredibly important in Melee, especially for characters like Marth.

I remember that the game isn't out yet and in the E3 demo, hitstun varies a lot and are non-existent on some moves, which suggest that they're still balancing it. I also remember that some characters, mostly on the 3DS version like Sheik, play more like Melee while most of the characters on the Wii U play more like Brawl, which suggest that they're still balancing it. I also remember that they were actively taking feedback at E3, which suggest that they're still balancing it.

If that's all you see in 64 and Smash 4 doesn't have it then how the fuck are they even comparable?

>>258620264

Even if you were only speaking about some characters, "a jumping and wavedashing shitfest without the players concerned about their positioning" is literally never a thing in high level Melee. Anyone who neglects spacing gets bodied.

>>258619718
You see, this is the only well thought out criticism so far in this thread, which isn't just angry shitposting bashing a game because it doesn't appeal directly to them. I agree, I prefer Melee, but I also think 64 is a lot more fun without the zero to death meta game. I think you're being a little too pessimistic about 4 considering the game has a lot more to be discovered, and is designed by the very man who designed Melee to be exactly what he wanted it to be, and then designed Brawl to be what he wanted to be for the people who were neglected in Melee. Obviously, he wants it to be both offense and defense oriented. Sakurai made one of your favorite games, and he knows what he's doing. At the very least, give it a real chance. Not a "cautiously pessimistic" chance.
