    Should Metaknight be Banned? ***Take 3***

    I voted no last round, but yes this round. I have nothing against Meta Knight or people that main him, but I'm getting a bit tired of seeing so **** many of them at tournaments--I've even started assuming that at least a handful of people play him because of tiers. I don't usually lose to...

    Fight at School

    Whoooah, hahaha. I'm in detention right now because I beat the **** out of some skater punk that had been pissing me off all year. He had been insulting my friend and I for a while, calling him a blind ****, his sister a *****, and flavor of the week insults to me (as well as shouting at the...

    NEW (useless?) glitch!

    I'm not really sure if this is really a glitch... Pit's shield (use Sonic for example) ricochets ANY attack off by twice the original move's knockback power...But if it only works with reverse...:\

    Where Do You See The Smash Community Going In The Next Year?

    I think the Melee vets that don't like Brawl will stay with Melee, and the Melee vets that like Brawl (such as myself) as well as the new crowd (who alone vastly outnumber the Melee competitive scene) will create the new, Brawl cometitive scene...

    Heavy Brawl as the competitive standard? EDIT: Could a pro post his/her opinion?

    So you want to ask a MELEE pro's opinion on BRAWL? I think you should wait until we get some Brawl pros before you ask of their opinions...

    Brawl will have backwards progression (which is a bad thing)

    No, what I'm saying is that just because you were professional at Melee, "on top of your game," so to speak, doesn't mean that it is definite that you will have just as much skill in Brawl...It doesn't mean that Melee pros CAN'T be Brawl pros, just that there is a big difference between the two...

    Brawl will have backwards progression (which is a bad thing)

    Exactly...While Gimpy is boasting about "experimenting thoroughly" with Brawl, he can't progress nearly as far as someone who never got into the Melee technical scene...I, to be honest, have lost all respect for the guy, seeing his losing mindset of "We already know everything there is to know...

    Brawl will have backwards progression (which is a bad thing)

    WRONG. We've had our top Melee players on it, which are now obsolete... Melee pros=/=Brawl pros, it's like saying that a Basketball pro would be able to perfect the game of Golf...

    Qualities of Competition

    *facepalm* Coreygames, you completely miss the point...AGAIN... What Rapid_Assasin is trying to say is that Brawl has every aspect required to be competitive...You say that less luck=more competitiveness, but all competitiveness means is the ability for a person with higher skill to win...

    Brawl will have backwards progression (which is a bad thing)

    I started Melee a week after it came out, and played it until Brawl...What I mean is that without the hitstun, you need to position yourself for every attack, rather than only positioning for the combo setup... The creator of that thread is an idiot? Well, I suppose he must be, because his...

    Brawl will have backwards progression (which is a bad thing)

    Let him be Ken, for all I care...Just because you make money on a game's predecessor doesn't give his ideas and thoughts any more weight than someone who's played Brawl as long as he has... (my apologies for the double post)

    Brawl will have backwards progression (which is a bad thing)

    Amen! Like I said before, in comparison to Melee, Brawl isn't going back (regressing), going forward (progressing), but up (changing)... I'd make a big wall of text, but I'm too lazy, so go read the "Perfect Combos are as Unfair as Tripping" thread...

    Brawl will have backwards progression (which is a bad thing)

    Mister EAD says "BS!" What's so bad about the disappearance of gimp kills? So you SHOULD be able to kill an opponent at 20%? I think the evolution of a stronger defensive metagame is a good thing for Brawl...Besides, in fencing, do you see people scoring crazy combos? *brick* I think air...

    The truth about Brawl and why it will fail

    I think I just puked a bit...

    Why do you play Brawl?

    I play it because: -I had a SNES controller connected to my bellybutton instead of an umbilical cord -The characters are very well balanced and unique (even the "clones" have a unique feel to them) -Awesome concept ("My Mario can beat your Link!" "Reall? Bring it on!") -Unique battling...
