Remember when nintendo decided to make a smash game that was new and different and we got brawl?

yeah, I'd rather have melee 2.0

Remember when brawl was developed with sakurai's expressed disdain for competitive play in melee since it relied on bugs?

Remember when they expressly said they were changing that this time around and there is video evidence that they have?

So I guess that means he just decided to make a shitty casual party game?

also I'm pretty sure the entire idea of tournament fighters was born around game glitches(lag canceling, juggling)

Pull out interviews plz.

Second page of this

First page of this

I do remember there was a page where he specifically stated what morphiend said, but I couldn't find it using wayback machine so I gave up.

I liked a game. a sequel came out that I didn't like. Therefore I will not like any sequels. That logic is undeniably weak... and what would be the point of remaking melee anyways? there's no significant engine flaws in the original one to warrant the costs of a remake. if you want to play melee, go play melee.

I feel like you just came here and regurgitated a bunch of technical terms and conclude because they exist it's what makes the game good and competitive. really the only variable is whether or not the game is fun or not. people would have competed in melee if pretty much everything in your list was removed. would there be less depth? sure. but it'd still be fun. most of the depth when you compete in something comes from your opponent anyways.

I wrote this all without even bringing up that brawl really isnt all that bad. some of the changes were undeniably stupid, but it's still fun to play/intense to watch high level play. at the end of the day most of the people that whine about it would probably still play it if there was a scene in their area or they the online play wasn't godawful. having good online is kind of the only factor in whether or not i play the new one personally.

it's not like melee doesn't exist whenever a new smash comes out
if you like melee so much, why not continue playing it

people still play smash 64, so i don't know why anyone complains about the sequels not being melee when it's not like melee suddenly vanished

i'm looking forward to the new smash, and i'm probably going to have fun playing with my friends regardless of what they change

I don't think my intentions came across through my posts
Basically, competitive melee is mostly the only competitive fighting game that I enjoy, and with any competitive community, you want to see it thrive and do well. The thing is, whenever Brawl came out, a lot of people stopped really paying attention to melee to start playing this less complex and ultimately lower skill-gapped game, not that I'm saying people who enjoy competitive brawl are dumb or anything, and the competitive aspects of the game can still be enjoyable, it's just that it wasn't nearly as technical and fast paced as melee had been. Anywho, the melee scene came very close to dying for a little over a year after brawl came out, and obviously when smash 4 comes out, the same thing will happen although this time I'm hoping it be the correct decision.

I was waiting for them to say fox was the only playable character in fd mode

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt final destination only going to make characters that are stronger in the air weaker? Sort of like 5cp favoring classes with a lot of mobility.

From what ive seen, even a lot of competitive smash features maps with platforms. Really weird that theyd go with final destination only for ranked play.

They should include battlefield and a base form Pokemon Stadiumish map for ranked as well.

Agreed radman, battlefield style maps are more balanced in my opinion, but what do I know about Smash.

N-Ness?

It's a nice detail and I think it's really neat.

Olimar tweaks look interesting.

the puff is GONE :(

Holy fuck I missed this. So much hype.

I would hope that anyone would actually cares has already seen it but Nintendo is hosting a Smash Bros Invitational. There aren't any details but I'm guessing we'll see Mew2King, Mango, etc. Maybe even Ken and some of the big players from back when now that Nintendo is actually paying attention to their fanbase.

And hopefully they'll give some feedback to Nintendo and Little Mac isn't the best character. (but he will be)

I hope they change the way the "For Glory" matchmaking system works, making it Final Destination only is a mistake because Final-D isn't a balanced map.

It should alternate between Final-D and Battlefield, or even Smashville

Amazing around a year ago Nintendo wanted to shut down melee at evo 2013

Pretty good selection players they picked. I'm not liking the four player free for all and items on thing, but I'll still watch it.
