Author Topic: Why Melee Is Better Than Brawl  (Read 56945 times)

In my opinion... the only thing that made Brawl worth playing was it's soundtrack... (more on that later)

On the other hand, I also gladly will play the original N64 version, with it's slower reaction time, it's polygon-like character models, and simplistic fighting... personally if you ask me, the N64 version WAS Smash Bros...
I think the moral to this is that the N64 version is overall the best and really just can't be beat. I mean sure is slow as anything but it was a whole new way to look at things at the time and would surely make top 5 if not #1 on my all time list of best games ever.

There is no such thing as a "best" game and everyone has the right to his/her own opinion.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

Well, Nintendo was revolutionary with it's first SSB title when it came into motion. Back then, most fighting games had the mentality of...

"OK, HERE WE, GO, GET READY.... GOOOOOOOOO!!!! OK, OK, CMON, GOTTA MASH THAT "A" BUTTON FASTER THAN MY OPPONENT... OOH, LOOK AT THAT MEAN COMBO MOVE... AND SWEET! A FIVE-SECOND KO! PWNED!!!"

Smash Bros. for the N64 totally changed that, though, and the only reason why we still play Melee and Brawl is for that same awesome feel that the N64 version first introduced. It's sad, really, how so many people overlook that and say, "DEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, MELEE HAS BETTER GRAPHICS, so it's betteEEERRRRRRRR!!!"

So there you have it. The game behind the mentality.

.. even if it is wrong.

I have a hard time picking a best game, because each one has it's own good and bad things. I am glad for those things, though, because otherwise, there would be no reason not to make another game ever again. SMB3 had its improvements over the first two SMB games, but that doesn't mean you should stop playing the first two games alltogether.

I still go back and play SSBM and even SSB64 sometimes, just becuase I like seeing what changed and what didn't (other than graphics, but that's a given..)

I still like Brawl better, and not for more superficial reasons like graphics or music. That is to say, they can add or detract a lot from a game experience, but a game can be good with or without awesome music (or awesome graphics). The only things I don't really like are how bats are impossible to use, and Wario. And no Falcon Punch.

Marth and Ike are two of the best characters so Bird Person should play as them more.
That was a joke.

Opinions can never be right or wrong, though...or is this some new definition of the word 'opinion'?

Hopefully that was a joke. Also, some things simply can't be opinions. "It is my opinion that the sky is green and the sun is purple."
That was a joke.

Why would I play as Marth and Ike? I've never played a Fire Emblem game and know nothing about them. I prefer to duke it out as my favorite Nintendo characters, not to duke it out as Nintendo characters I'd never seen before Melee, or in Ike's case, Brawl.

Well, Path of Radiance is a good game. Also, I prefer to duke it out as the characters I like to play as.

When I play as Ness, I'm playing as the main hero of EarthBound. When I play as Yoshi, I'm playing as my favorite Mario character of all time. But when I play as Ike... I'm just playing as a Super Smash Bros. character. As much a Nintendo character to me as a Fighting Alloy.

I probably will play Fire Emblem some time though. When that time comes, I'll be able to appreciate Marth or Ike as characters (if it's a Fire Emblem starring one of them--I understand a DS remake is bringing the first game to the U.S.). But I probably won't be any better as them.

Sarcasm. Not everybody likes to say TM after every sarcastic thing they say.

I had a pretty good time with it, myself, although you can tell the engine isn't as suited to platformers as to fighting.
That was a joke.

I also had a good time with SSE. I wouldn't mind playing it again.
