I just laughed my ass off on the points proven in the last thread which I never got to have my word in ):<
DANGER WALL OF TEXT
NOTICE: I'm Disregarding Wi-Fi, cause we all know it's horrible... If I went into detail, that would ultimately say I hate Brawl or something *shrugs*
I'm Neutral on terms of thinking any of the games is absolutely better than the other...
But deep down, some little angry man that can break through handcuffs admits I'm pro for Melee...
anyways... Let's get started shall we?
First let's talk about Melee
but before that...
All smash games weren't made to be competitive... People just tend to find glitches in the game that made the game move more in to the competitive side.
Look at Smash 64, It's just your typical beat em up, until someone figured out Z-canceling... then all hell broke loose

2 Years have passed since SSB64, Now we have Melee
This game was an excellent sequel and is still being played competitively today... (even SSB64...) anyways, The game had a roster of 26 characters (including Sheik) and many new modes such as Adventure and Event. Time passed with this game, and people discovered various things such as "wavedashing", "L-Canceling", "Double Stick DI", "SHFFL", and much more things like "wave-shining", "Pillaring", "The Knee"...
This game was here for a long time and is still evolving... but one thing is definite that people will unarguably doubt that this game had that gives a reason it's better than Brawl...
HIT-STUN
With Hit-stun, a character can initiate Combo's or chain-grabs or w/e...
People love to combo, maybe death combos, or just plain sexy ones (such as Captain Falcon)
Anyways... Melee gave us the gift of how hard Captain Falcon can own.
YouTube - Falcon is the best character in this game
Seriously, this is a must watch...
I know, I know, there could be alot more said about Melee, but that's waaaaaay too much won't you agree?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Here we have Brawl,
7 years is the time gap from Melee...
Sakurai hit competitive fans hard with the removal of our "findings"
anyways...
Brawl is the more, defensive one compared to all the other ones. With the lack of hit-stun, one can't go all out with their attacks and basically result to going at it safely which emphasized Spacing and predicting attacks. But without that, we still decided to exploit glitches...
Now we have
-Boost/Hyphen/Dash-canceled/whatever the hell you want to call it/ smashing
-Glide Tossing
-Auto canceling Aerials
-and much more that I don't know yet...
Alot of people hate Brawl for various reasons, whether the lack of hit-stun, Edge guarding games suck cause of stupid auto sweet spot. Sure there are more reasons, but I'm just naming a couple...
But where I thought Brawl was pretty fun, was the Single Player mode... even though Adventure mode was extremely simple (going from Point A to Point B while beating up enemies) I thought it was pretty good, along with the fact Sakurai managed to have a story of Super Smash Bros. in the first place...
But all and all, what I'm trying to say is, Brawl isn't a bad game... it just somewhat lacks a competitive feel and the familiar physics of the previous games.

The only thing I can find at the moment that's just too good
Give Brawl some time, Melee had 7 years,
maybe just maybe... Brawl could be the game we all wanted it to be
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People are just going to say the same things...
BRAWL IS BETTER CAUSE OF BETTER GRAPHICS, MELEE HAS HIT-STUN (wait...), BRAWL IS MORE RECENT, MELEE HAZ WAVEDASHING, blah blah blah blah blah blah poop jokes blah...
All the damn games have glitches that are used competitively...
I think Brawl is a good game, I just don't prefer to play it...
I've been playing Melee for years now, of course I'm going to like it...
In my opinion, they each have their ups and downs, w/e you can decide...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As many of you know... I hate Brawl, but I won't doubt that it was a pretty well made game...
*Tatsunoko vs. Capcom comes in the mail*
•••• YEAH!!!
NOTE: If someone flames me... I'm just going to laugh my ass off
