hmmm you mean ali was the first real fighter that popped into your head, and not the most accurate or applicable choice due to his style.First off, I watch a lot of boxing. My point was that in real fights, there is no such thing as a true combo, only things your opponent fails to react too, which is a pseudo combo. Ali was the first to come to mind.
Secondly, you can not argue intention because the same intentions were put into Melee. Melee was intended to be played 4 free for all with items just as much with Brawl, denie this and you are a fool.
You do know that combos was originally a glitch, right? For someone who tells me that I am uninformed, I seriously doubt you know that combos in the original street fighter was nothing more than an accident.
Combos are not the essence of fighting games in the same way guns are. Hitting your opponent is the basics of fighting games. Combos were not in the very first fighting game (forgot the name). Your entire argument boils down too, I like combos, they are fun, they entertain me, they are fun to watch, which is NOT a valid reason to why all fighting games must have combos.
"My point was that in real fights, there is no such thing as a true combo"
you know, its a **** good thing were talkin about, you guessed it, a VIDEO GAME. not real life. a VIDEO GAME. this is isn't UFC, its SSBM. i believe there's a difference somewhere with the letters, what with one having a U, an F, and a C, and the other one having two S's, a B, and an M. i dont know, maybe its just me, but does anybody else see a difference? also i believe one involves Chuck "iceman" liddell, and the other involves pikachu. maybe its just me, but does anybody else see a difference???! call me crazy, but there is a slight difference from reality and video games. now please correct me if i'm wrong, but the soldiers in WWII didn't respawn after they had their bodies disentigrated by grenades, like they do in Call of Duty. again, see a ***** difference??!
no, in fact i agree with you on this one. sakurai is a moron. he loves moronic party games. when he makes the smash games, his goal is to make a moronic party game. when he made melee, he failed. he failed hard. if his career was a demotivational poster, there would be a big circle around a picture of melee with the words "EPIC FAIL, sometimes its not a bad thing". he has tried to make a stupid little party game for his childish audience for years, and it just so happens that he failed with melee, and succeeded with brawl. what can i say, one man's garbage is another man's treasure. and if you deny the obvious truthiness of that cliche lol, you are a fool.
"You do know that combos was originally a glitch, right"
why, yes i do! of course it was a glitch. so were techs. you might say it was an accident, cuz thats what a glitch is, an accident. however, you speak as if just because its an accident that makes it a bad thing. i suppose you also dont like superglue, the pace maker, silly putty, potato chips, the microwave, penicillin, coke, teflon, rubber, plastic, and many many more. oh, i also forgot about ice cream cones. wait, you dont like ice cream cones?! whats the matter with you??!
"Combos are not the essence of fighting games in the same way guns are"
thats your opinion. its a bad one, but its all you got. i wish obama would make an opinion-replacement program to help you out, but he probably won't, because he's the one who thought joe biden as a VP was a good idea, so...yeah. anyway, the validity of this statement depends on who you talk to. some people like their fighting games to have combos, i.e. something to give yourself that good feeling of satisfaction, pride, and ownage (also makes your match quite youtubable, see the famous "wombo combo"). it gives you a feeling of exhilaration, gives the viewers something to cheer about, and, most of all, its fun. then of course there are people like you who enjoy seeing a turtle-paced, mundane slap-fight between an electric mouse and a purple puffball with a sword. i dunno man, if thats you, thats you. i dont mean that as an insult, but the fact is, no matter how stupid something is, there always have to be somebody who likes it. that means that brawl is in ranks with the detroit lions, furry porn, and vanilla ice. you can enjoy your poorly drawn fox on pig sex-pics as you listen to a ****ty white rapper and cheer for the worst team in the history of modern professional sports, while me and masmasher entertain the rest of the world with an exciting mew2 vs CF battle. i hope you have fun. i know i am .
