Perfectly acceptable.

You dont have to cave in to what people are saying who say brawl is horrible, and you dont have to jump ship with the people who say brawl is amazing.

__

However, if you say "melee is boring simply because it's old", but you dont go to tourneys or anything, that's your own fault and not a good liability.

Half the games played in tourneys (i mean tourneys period, not just fighting game tourneys), are older than melee.

MvC2, CvS2, Starcraft, CS1.5 (1.6 whatever), SFII, etc etc.

So if you're complaining about melee being 7 years old; nuh uh, that one aint gunna fly.

a lot of my friends have started to go back to melee, but one (he's really bad) says he prefers brawl only because melee's old. -___________________________________________-
I try to tell him it's only because he sucks, but he always says "Whatever BYE!"

tournament?! im not THAT good yet. but how much is it? 1.00?
Seriously, it dosnt matter if your that good, you WONT be THAT GOOD until you go to a tournament, dont expect to win the first time but expect to learn, My first tournament I got knocked out in the first round but, man, all the friendlies I had made Sooooooo much better at smash. and that was two days of smashing.

If you dont go get pwned by people better than you, or atleast play people better than you you will NEVER reach a high level, go to tournaments you will NEVER regret it.

Of course it's a personal preference not a collective ****ing emotion held by everyone playing the game.

Get off the board you extended troll!

(sorry if you're not a troll I didn't really read anything)

Dude, play Goldeneye for N64...........................................

You could get creative, try different things to have fun with the game, mess up the rules. But listen to these guys, go to a tourney. If I could, i would

Brawl got boring in a month, but i haven't got bored in melee in 2.5 years.
And yeah, go to a tournament.
For me, Brawl got boring in a week, but I haven't got bored of Melee and I had it for 6 years.

@Teeman: You should really consider going to a tournament. It's probably going to be your only greatest experience with the you're going to have

I got it worse. My brother never played melee, and he still hates melee because of wavedash. I play brawl with him and we have fun but he says the game needs combos. Then i quickly go to youtube and put some random combo video of melee and he completly ignores it

I have nobody to play melee with and im really good.

Once you experience giving it your all to just keep up with someone better than you you'll find renewed interest in the game. Its true.

. . . shut your mouth, I don't mean to be harsh... but your NOT going to get better by fighting your friends, you GET BETTER by going to tournaments, stop worrying about your skill, just go...

and no, in my opinion.. it isn't ok to say melee is getting boring, because if I could make this possible, you'd be arrested for even just having the words melee, and boring in the same sentence.

Rampage, it's called 'opinions.'

Personally, I think Family Guy, despite its popularity, sucks. Doesn't mean everyone thinks so. Nor does it mean I have to think like everyone. Gah.

Brawl is a shallow shell of a fighting game, it has no depth, definetly no innovation in the fighting engine, in fact it goes backwards and if it wasnt for the graphics people would beleive you if you told them it came before melee, the reason? its a very dumbed down engine for fighting. The only innovative thing brawl has really done is SSE, and thats not even a factor for competitive players like us.

Not always an option for people who have jobs and families.

I agree tournaments are a lot of fun, but they aren't for everyone.

Then dont go to a tournament. Until we get melee wifi up and running thats the only way.

Brawl has the potential to be an O.K. fighter. It won't reach up to Melee's standards. It's really just a party game.

And Renth, that is your opinion. If he thinks Melee is boring leave him alone.

Earth, right?
Same here...Brawl's got old for me now and I went back to melee but my friend is sticking to Brawl

Melee's great to play again but I have no one to play with and my friend's still zapped to brawl cuz "It has more characters" -_-

He sucks with pretty much all the characters he plays with, too...

Maybe a tourney isn't a bad idea...
