Question: Why are they still playing Melee when brawl is already out for a few years and the first new chars for the WII U SSB are already announced? [I know Mewtwo is too cool ]

Brawl is really slow, mechanics are missing + tripping. It's basically awful(disliked it even as a casual player back in the day). There is Project M which is a mod that makes Brawl a bit more competitive.


I don´t understand what you mean with missing mechanics and slower. My friends and me switched to brawl as soon as it came out and we never felt any worsening. Only the maps are unplayable with so much random shit and moving plates and so on... AND MEWTWO WAS LEFT BEHIND!!

This is unbelievably exciting. Melee basically defined 50% of my college experience. I cannot wait to see where this goes.

Is smash going to get it's own forum here now?

Because melee is a superior competative game in every way. It's faster, has a much higher skill level, it's way more exciting and the balance was better (not good, but better than brawl). Brawl is way too slow and campy, it's quite boring. And SSB4 is expected to be the exact same way, Nintendo said. So melee is just much better.

Some examples - No L-cancelling/wavedashing killed a lot of the mechanical skill required to play at the top level. The floatier physics meant that players had more of an opportunity to DI since characters in Brawl generally die at higher percents than in Melee.

You don't understand because you weren't a competitive player. Look at some of the videos in this thread, like How Fast is Melee. There is no "How Fast is Brawl" video because the answer is "slow as fuck."

Hmm I definitely have to play SSBM and SSBB on the same day to check the speed difference you guys are talking about.
As long as Ness and Zelda can be played I actually dont care which SSB gets played^^

Think of broodwar where you have things like Muta stacking and Vulture Patrol micro. These are technically bugs, but they added so much depth and skill to the game. Melee is full of mechanics like that, that brawl took away.

So while casuals don't even notice that those mechanics are gone, pro's feel like they can't even play the game anymore.

Just watch this - once you are able to play at this level the difference between Melee and Brawl becomes night and day

It's a big difference, especailly in how long the games take to play. Brawl characters die at a much higher percent, plus the game is just slower in general, so the games take forever compared melee.

Disregarding dark, is there anyone on the planet that can play at that speed? Maybe silentwolf?
