Melee or Brawl? First week results up. [Second week results go up 6/05]

[AfroQT]

I don't MM. Never have, and don't intend on starting.
I'll play you in GA at the Atlanta tourney though, friendlies or hate matches, whichever you prefer..

Who said anything about trying? This is just an amusing pass time for me.

Although for someone who was so condescending and pretended to be so far above "forum" disputes, you sure have stuck in it for the long haul.

Went to a tourney, got fourth.

What tournament was that? Who was there? Who won?

And i still dont post multiple paragraphs to look smart on the interwebz.
Bad Troll is Bad

 

[Fenrir VII]

It's obvious Afro isn't trying to look smart on the boards...

 

[AfroQT]

No son i look smart at tournaments when i own.

EDIT:
WHERE IT ACTUALLY MATTERS

 

[Fenrir VII]

Actually, you look like you dodge a whole lot, and nobody's punishing that yet...oh wells... You play pretty stupidly, though...gotta say.

 

[AfroQT]

So stupidly that i've never placed below 5th at a tourney?

You play pretty stupidly imo, cuz you dont win.

EDIT: Good players punish it, Lambchopz ***** my sidesteps.

 

[spider_sense]

afro is actaully smarter than you think fenrir. trained by my c0ck survived hardships overcame all obstacle and the thats the fro you see b4 you not the weak pathetic johnning ddd player known as mr h mario. *this is lambchops the man with the small c0ck*

 

[AfroQT]

Nah im bad i play stupidly no one knows how to punish dodging cuz its really hard i guess LOL

EDIT:
Because i play stupidly i am now no longer going to dodge incoming attacks i will now just take them like a man so i can be a smart player.

Being a smart player doesn't mean taking hits like a man... it means retaliating w/ an attack after you take the hit.

In Brawl? Hardly.

LOL.

Put your e-peen anyway, son. Nobody wants to see that ****.

And Exarch, you snipped me.

But friendlies are awesome. Hit me up at the tourney.

[Duchock]

Here's why I like Brawl:

I suck at Melee.

An attempt was made, but it's just something that didn't come naturally. I can't wavedash, L cancel, wave land; whatever the crap you crazy people are doing, I can't. The thing is that I don't want to learn how to do these things. It takes time to get good, and I didn't start looking into competative Melee until last year... That's plenty of time to make headway in terms of skill, but I just gave in.

Plus I was kinda turned off by a few members of the community. It's a video game, not a vice. Everytime I see someone throw things or insults after they win/lose a match, I facepalm. It's just not the kind of people I want to be around.


Plus I can't stand playing any of the high tier characters. I'll give you a cookie if you can guess who I enjoy maining with :x

see thats the problem with brawl: it doesn't take time to get good in that game lol, in other words its too easy...

Someone missed the point.

IDK about all that. Obviously the metagame is young, so it'll be easier to pick it up and adapt to it for now. But there is something that makes certain players better than others. If this game really were that easy to pick up then we wouldn't be getting consistent results at tourneys.

 

[MusicalMike]

I prefer which ever game is the popular tournament going game at the time. Right now it is Brawl, but on the inside I truly wish for Melee to revive as the amazing game it was/is on the competitive level.

 

[S0FT]

What consistant results?
Everyone talks about how melee's metagame developed and that brawl's will to "just give it time."
But in brawl you hardly have anything to work with. Random tripping no combos. It looks like the metagame is just going to get more and more campier. Which is boring to play, boring to watch, and no fun at all.

 

[C@sH Mooney]

MK is fun though. He's the closest thing to melee anyways.

I've won money in every Brawl tournament I've been to. I plan on keeping it that way by winning more.

By the way, I'm basically done with Melee. I'll probably play both after time goes on, but for now I'm just playing the new game.

Melee's the new Super Turbo; people won't move on because "it's such a perfect game." That's cool; I love Super Turbo, but it's not fun when there's no one around that wants to play Third Strike.

Look at the tourney results, but to condense it for you...

Afro is the best in FL right now. He has placed really well in all his tournaments he has entered from the start and placed first at the last Gigs and Seibrik's. FIU is pretty **** all-around. Chops and Linguini are both up there too and are pretty consistent. xYz is definitely the best in CFL. I'm arguably the best in NFL. No hard feelings to those I didn't mention.

I really haven't seen any of these top players that I've mentioned do much in the way of camping, and I haven't been bored yet watching any match in any tournament. I especially can't see this game getting boring when you get ridiculous crowds going for games like Nicholas.Riddle vs. me at the last Gigs that really don't even matter in the grand scheme of things.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I haven't seen any sign of sizable inconsistency so far.

I also have no problem performing combos with any of my characters.

Also, the results of this thread will be tallied up on my birthday. Discuss.

 

[QDVS]

ROFL @ all this stupid drama

 

[bladeofapollo]

Someone missed the point.

Someone missed the sarcasm.

Edit: %I think we all need to leave Brawl alone for a couple years and hope the metagame develops itself.%

 

[pesticide]

brawl. i didnt have fast enough hands to play melee xD

 

[Kio Iranez]

No johns.

 

[Finch]

Dodging is too good in brawl because the only way to punish it is with a grab which is useless for most characters anyway.

Afro stop pitching a fit everytime someone says melee is better. You didn't play it so you don't know. Obviously you are good at brawl. That doesn't make you cool.

 

[exarch]

What tournament was that? Who was there? Who won?

And i still dont post multiple paragraphs to look smart on the interwebz.
Bad Troll is Bad

Manko's last weekend, Colbol won. Of course I could also list several tournaments I went to and won, this was just the most recent I've been to.

And you just did post multiple paragraphs intended for one person on the interwebz.
You should work harder on not contradicting yourself at every turn.

Here's why I like Brawl:

I suck at Melee.

You think it came naturally for any of us? I hate to say it, because you seem like you have good intentions, but you've got the epitome of a scrub mentality. "It's too hard, so I quit." However, if you had taken the time and effort to learn these techniques, you might understand why people got so upset over a video game. It was a common factor linking people as different as me, Doodah, Synikal, QDVS, and Harriettheguy together. You missed out on that community this past year because you told yourself you "couldn't" do something.

And low tier players were never looked down on. Dguy played M2 his whole time in the game. I've also played many Nesses, AngryLobster, Bluchu, JCpwn, Lumbro, Mow, being some of the better ones. They're all good people and I count them as my friends, because they took the time to learn smash. Plus low tiered players get more fame for doing worse than high tiered players. True, they never really had a shot at money, but then low tiers in brawl don't either. And no one should be going to video game tournaments to make money. Get a job.

See above paragraphs addressed to Duchock.

You got it.
Not sure how I'll find you, but we've got a couple days.

I'm saddened by the thought that Fred and I are not in this list. In all seriousness though, I agree completely with your post. That is the worst mentality a person can have- "It's too hard so I quit!" I will admit that the techniques in melee are harder to learn and accomplish in an actual match than the brawl ones, but this still shouldn't dissuade anyone from trying to get better.

 

[OTRU...]

the melee scene was more chill IMO we were all cool with each other, there werent as many arguments/discussions as in brawl

 

[Duchock]

I can see what you're sayin'. Exarch, and you make a good point. But, I don't really feel I missed out on the community. I went to a few tournaments and one smashfest in that time frame. I didn't play in many of them, but I enjoyed hanging around and watching matches. It felt like I was being really creepy and stalkerish, but I enjoyed it for the most part. Made some great friends in the process, but I observed some things I saw in a negative light and made a judgement that nudged me away from playing competatively, whether or not it was defense mechanism developed by my scrub mentality: It's just how I am.

Oh, and I'm not claiming it's natural for you guys. It's just that I tend to stick to only the things I'm natural at. Melee just isn't one of them. I can blame the impending carpal tunnel.

 

[cultofrubik]

Otru is sooooo tru. As is exarch.

I didn't start playing Melee competitively when it first came out. In fact, I was awful. All of my friends were. Ironically, our crew started up on Melee about two years ago... Dark Sonic and Raistlin, our crew's two best, were our crew's two worst. They tried. They put some effort. And Raistlin couldn't wavedash until a few months ago! They are the least technical in our crew...and are our best. Hmmm....

This should go to say that no matter how bad you are at something, to give up is plain stupid. You'd be surprised what you can do with a mindset and some effort.

 

[QDVS]

Exarch I think he was asking what brawl tourneys you've placed at, but I know you could care less about brawl tourneys so yeah buddy!!!

 

[AfroQT]

Kk im done posting to people i dont care about., if anyone wants to talk **** to me do it at a tourney in a match as i stomp your a$$.

 

[QDVS]

Everyone has the same mindset, it's that, "I'm good at the game that matters (to them) so if you aren't good at that game, then I don't give a **** what you think"!!!

It's why these arguments never get anywhere!!!

And yeah I agree there weren't all these disputes and arguments with the melee scene, but that is partly because we weren't arguing over two games (whether SBB was better than SSBM)

Though it might have been that way at the beginning of SSBM's scene (before all of our time in the community, even mine)!!!

 

[Linguini]

otruuu is right on poiiiiiintttttt

[QDVS]

Probably no tourneys for me this summer, since I'm working weekends most of the time!!!

But fall semester I should be attending most of the CFL ones (maybe some SFL ones)!!!
