My friends list is full too, I just wanted to see if I could get the "With Anyone" option to even work because it hadn't till I tried disconnecting/reconnecting within the first 2 minutes if no match is made.

Does this work for other people? Just connect to "With Anyone" like normal, pick your character, any stage, etc. then if you don't get a match in the first 2 minutes, leave the room, start it over again. I think Nintendo's matching server will drop you if you don't get a game in the...

If that's the case, then the thread should be retitled to "Does Brawl take as much skill to master as Melee?"

Brawl takes different skills than Melee. Therefore you can't compare them on competitiveness. You can say that one game takes more skill at the game's basic mechanics and gameplay. But you can't say one is more "competitive," unless based on competition.

What people ARE saying is that one is "more competitive" than another... which is a total fallacy by my definition of competitive. Competitive isn't "slang" like Tap. Doesn't work that way.

Finally --- this is a much better argument. The truth is that the players who refuse to make the transition to Brawl over a perceived "lack of depth" won't affect the game's competitive success or it's nature. As Melee has it's own champions and heroes, Brawl will have its own. But I think...

You're really making me laugh. :) You say I have a reading problem and you can't even read the thread title. "Brawl is competitive." Competitive - Definition: Pertaining to competition. You're somehow twisting the definition of competitive into this amalgamation of skill and merit to...

Actually, by definition, competition makes things competitive. The reason that Mario Party isn't considered competitive is because there's no competition for it. Same with coin tossing, number picking, tic-tac-toeing or any other bizarre thing you wanna compare Brawl to.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How can you say one game is more competitive than another despite having less competition? That's like saying that Basketball is more competitive than Football. Makes no sense whatsoever. Who's talking about skill? I'm talking about...

Of course it does. Having a larger player base means there will be a more successful tournament scene and larger talent pool to draw from. You can't compare Brawl to tic-tac-toe, that's an unfair characterization. It's not all that different from Melee that you can make such a comparison...

Brawl is a different game and will have a different competitive scene, no doubt. But to say that it'll be "less" competitive is absurd. The Wii is selling WAY better than the Gamecube ever did and Brawl is selling retardedly well. It'll have a competitive scene despite the crys of the...

Great post, really helpful info, Luthien.

All 3 are good. Fox and Falco are faster than Wolf, but Wolf has more power overall and he's got great smash attacks. Also of note... Wolf has less priority in his aerial up-A/down-A than Fox does, Wolf's side-B makes him dash diagonally, and Wolf's up-B doesn't shoot him as far as Fox's Inferno.

My ISP has a login, but it remains logged in while the router is running so you don't have to login but once in a blue moon. I can play Brawl via WiFi... though my "With Anyone" matching doesn't work... but I think it's a problem with Nintendo's servers, not my internet connection.

It's because the end result is that the characters are more balanced in comparison to each other. Sure, nerfing some of the higher tiers and buffing the lower tiers is a very blanket thing to do, but the end result is a more balanced character roster. There have both been some changes in the...
