Why Melee Is Better Than Brawl

[Zarkanthesmasher]

Wolf is actually way different from Fox, guys. He's actually a lot better than Fox in Brawl, too. That said, I still probably would have preferred Krystal. I was expecting her rather than Wolf.

Yes, but compared to how different Krystal would have probably been like, Wolf is too similar to Fox and Falco. Yes, they all play way differently, but their speical moves are all just variations of each other. So are their final Smashes - which is really annoying. Why couldn't Falco have had a final smash that had something to do with Arwings, and why is Wolf using a vehicle that he wouldn't be caught dead with in the real Star Fox games?

The answer probably is: because they ran out of time. It stinks, but fortunately not that bad.

Ran out of time? Seems like they didn't mind adjusting the release date to me at all.

As for Mewtwo, blame kids. Stupid kids. Kids who think Lucario is cool.

Not that this affects their SSB performance, but Mewtwo is better because of his massive base Sp. Att. stat.

Apparently it was forgiven in Soul Calibur IV. It was pretty disappointing to hear some guy murmuring "Soul Calibur Four..." after the epic win that was the intro to that game.

That's how that guy always sounds, in every game. And I love his voice. I love walking around saying

Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold.

Wow, you managed to screw up my name on a quote? *Pats The Chef on the back*

It was intentional, natch.

[ShadowBrain]

Oh.

Also, that picture I made was harder than it looks.

Brawl > Porn period, end of story, .com, fin, [/end], over, done with, thats all. Argument ended move on.

[Chupperson Weird]

.com? Really?

[ShadowBrain]

Hey, he's new. What can I say?

...Well, I guess I can do this:

Brawl = Porn period, end of story, .com, fin, [/end], over, done with, thats all. Argument ended move on.

Smash Bros = Porn period, end of story, fin, [/end], over, done with, thats all. Argument ended move on.

Smash Balls Suck Balls
I always knew it deep down, but until playing an entire night of Melee did I fully realize how much Smash Balls hurt the game. They are way too powerful. The incredible power to kill granted by a Smash Ball negates everything done in the match requiring actual skill and gameplay. All the intricate fighting, dodging, and small-arms item use doesn't even register in the end because match results come down to one thing: who got more Smash Balls. Whenever power this great is granted in a fighting game, it needs to come with a sharp penalty for failure as well. For example, the Guilty Gear series has insta-kill moves, but you only get one use in a match and if it's missed or blocked you completely lose your Tension meter, preventing you from using any super moves at all for the rest of the match. But in Brawl? Risk-free insta-kills, doled out like candy on Halloween.

Someone clearly hasn't played enough with Peach, Donkey Kong, Jigglypuff, Ice Climbers and Zero Suit Samus.

While I agree the Smash Ball is broken, some of them are extremely unreliable, and for those listed, downright pathetic if the opponent isn't standing exactly in front of you.

You also forgot to mention Melee's Classic Mode wasn't a chore to complete and the trophies weren't recycled models with a blurb as boring as a wikipedia stub.

I completely agree with this statement.

I still think Pikachu should've shot down a barage of lightning bolts

Well, since that's my main you're talking about, I have to respond. Honestly, I like DK's final smash. True, it doesn't work too well on HUGE stages (not always though), but on small stages it is great. I've found that it's very easy to KO people if you get the bongos centered in just the right spot, and it also has a lot of power.

Also, why are Jigglypuff and Ice Climbers on that list? Jigglypuff is king on small, open stages with Puff Up, and Ice Climber's Iceberg is often a pain to be on the recieving end of. The only truly bad ones on that list are Peach's and Zero suit Samus's, IMO.
