@ Strongbad Tenses run lower, to break down what I mean - once I get a hit I know their options of response are limited, they're more vulnerable now. This vulnerability allows for some guess work along with fast reactions, I excel at both of those. With this in mind am I tensed? No. Your...

@ Okami The shield system in brawl is more competitively viable than the one in melee. So I'd disagree that more options make it better. The upgrades far outclass what got left behind. Dedede is just one character and you have to do much more than chaingrabs to win with him. Especially against...

@ OkamiBW I don't find getting combo'd or comboing as engaging, since the amount of options you have to take into account decrease. Even without the reflecting powershield Brawl's shield system enables quite a few options though, the shield in general is faster, powershielding is easier, and...

@ Ghostbone Hits can be SDI'd and if so the person performing the combo would have to take that into account. My point was landing strings of single hits is deeper than landing combos in melee, with a string of single hits your opponent has alot more options. Mindgames take more work to pull...

@ OkamiBW Well of course Melee has it's buffer system. I'd need to know how it effects my argument though. Brawl's single hits do mean something. Each of the three things you mentioned (how to approach, what move to hit with afterwards, considering opponent DI) have their own place in Brawl...

I never said Melee is 100% about tech skill and comboes. I just said Brawl has less comboes. To back up my claim that Brawl is more engaging: True Brawl is a game of First-Hits. You have to focus on defending yourself and getting out of strings aswell as the opposite - plotting attacks and tech...

True comboes are alright, but without comboes it leaves more gameplay in the hands of the players. You don't get hit once and then have to watch the **** until you're capable of responding, you're capable of doing so right then and there. There's follow ups and reads and tech chases, which are...
