Kinda but SC2 is not the Brawl of BW. That's too low even for SC2.

I concur. I think Starcraft 2 is better than Brood War.

Well you'd have to screw up pretty hard to make a worse competitive game than the guy who outright hated competition and tried to suck every ounce of it out.

Yeah, as I recall he designed Brawl to be as unfriendly to the competitive FGC as possible.

Melee's stream pulled in like what, 30k viewers at APEX?

I feel like Sakurai and most of Nintendo are really out of touch with what gamers want...

I mean, yes and no. Yes in that the FGC at a pro level is incredibly annoyed by it. No in that they're selling the title to a mass audience, most of whom won't compete or care about the competitive pro level, and it's a one time buy (and thus they don't really need to focus on long-long term retention, outside of ensuring the regular target demographic gets enough hours out of it). Too much long-term retention for Nintendo means customers not buying other Wii/Nintendo console games, so they won't get royalties off of those purchases.

Do I think deliberately designing it to piss on the FGC is a good idea? I mean, why would you. But yeah.

Yep.

I honestly don't know why they've been pulling the asinine shit like trying to pull Smash out of Evo.

I mean really, free publicity?

I understand the initial design to not target Brawl towards FGC, but...

I think that most gamers in general preferred Melee, even the casuals who have no idea about any of the techniques. Sure, when Brawl came out there is the shiny new game effect and it sold well, but the general opinion seemed pretty tilted towards Melee.

I have no evidence though.

Speaking of long-term retention, Nintendo's first-party games are infamous for almost never dropping in price unless they get a budget-game re-release.

Like most nintendo games. They're aimed at nostalgia fags and 7 yearolds. Nostalgia fags being too old for mechanics, and 7 yearolds too young for mechanics. And they want to level the playing field so that anyone can win.
