Will Heavy Gravity Mode Become the Standard

[westcoastchamp]

Brawl is not meant to be Melee. It is a different game, and I understand that. But as a vet of Melee, I can't help but feel Brawl is too slow. And then I discovered heavy gravity mode. Short hops are shorter, and the characters move more similarly to Melee. I think this may be the mode that competitive players will eventually come to use.

If you haven't tried it yet I suggest you do. So far I like heavy gravity better than playing regular mode.

Note: Marths double fair does not work in heavy gravity mode.

No.

Brawl's competition will always suck no matter how you bend it.
There is no future for Brawl's competitive scene.

 

[pirkid]

Definitely not, High Gravity screws over most recoveries and changes overall balance.


I don't know, I find Brawl not much different then Melee.

 

[Gesi1223]

I've adjusted to Brawl's default physics already and like how it feels, I don't see me playing Heavy Gravity at all.

 

[PukeTShirt]

i tried high gravity mode, and i honestly didnt like it. Instead of it making it feel like the melee engine, it just seems to ruin the brawl engine. Yes, the short hops are shorter and what not, but with the new move properties it kinda screws everything up more than it helps. And honestly, yeah brawl is slower, but it doesnt feel unbearably slow, so I dont see the standard moving from default to high grav

Yeah so have I. It only took me like 3 matches too. People are overreacting so much to the news physics. Brawl doesn't feel slow to me at all.

And people who say there won't be a competitive Brawl scene are just indulging in their own self pity.

"I think this may be the mode that competitive players will eventually come to use"

? ? ? ? ?

hahaha, give it more time, dude. No way in hell would people be that desperate to gain a "melee" feel from brawl in a tourney. It's a funny thing to imagine, though. "Must. Have. Melee! *enables heavy gravity* Must. Have. Melee" <--Desperate???

 

[Andromeda]

Probably not, if you think of all the haters.

 

[DRaGZ]

There were topics about this before...we've already come to conclusions...it's time to move on.

 

[WarxePB]

If high gravity is the only way to make Brawl viable for competitive play, then I'm sure that most people will agree to put it on (even if it restricts certain characters' recoveries). However, I am absolutely positive that the metagame will EXPLODE in the next few months, and we'll find the depth we need without having to alter the fundamental gameplay.

 

[Solid Moose]

considering the hate brawl is getting, it probably will happen

 

[Toadster5]

Melee is better than regular Brawl AND high gravity Brawl.

 

[Ichida]

No.

You're all in such hilariously deep denial. XDDD

 

[SkylerOcon]

I love how everybody keeps on trying to turn Brawl into Melee.

Different games. Melee was too fast, and for newer players it was hard to understand the commotion. In case you hadn't noticed, the entire sales pitch of the Wii is that games are for everybody now. They're getting new people into gaming, and you can expect many Nintendo games to accommodate that.

And Brawl? It's a good game. Just different physics. If you don't like it, then don't play it.

 

[Chaosblade77]

You'd rather play a Melee rip off that gimps most light characters and technically limits your playing more than just a normal Brawl, rather than actually play Melee?

Kind of sad.

 

[Rhubarbo]

No, it won't. Go play Melee for what it is and play Brawl for what it is. If you want deep competition, definitely go play Melee.

Some games? If Nintendo can diminish Smash, it can diminsh everything!

HIGH GRAVITY WILL BECOME THE STANDARD!!!






in soviet russia....

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Heavy gravity would be unfair for certain fighters.

Also, I can't understand why people are bashing Brawl just because it lacks some of Melee's mechanics. Seriously, you should all appreciate the work that Sakurai did with the game.

 

[Ichida]

This entire thread is hilarious, though I admit there's a healthy balance between the sides.

 

[LouisLeGros]

Just play melee instead if you really are getting to the point of playing Brawl with high gravity.

Melee is better for competitive play, this has been discussed at great length. It is more then just the "floaty" feel that makes this true. Changing the gravity won't fix this, Sakurai designed the game to even out the playing field and make it be an approachable game for anyone.

then you rater to play a rip-off of SSB64 than the original 64?

Kind of sad (yes your post is so stupid to compare to that.)

and people BRAWL IS NOT MELEE2.0, IT WASN'T MADE TO BE MELEE2.0, THE CREATORS DO NOT WANTED AN MELEE2.0 AND WILL NEVER BE MELEE2.0. You know why halo 3 sucked so much, because is was like halo2.5. If you can't adapt, and if you don't like it, the don't play it and stop complainig like idiots

 

[Senshuu]

I had almost no problem adjusting to Brawl's "slow" and "floaty" physics. I wonder why people keep bringing it up? One Brawl, adjusted, done. One has to be very fixated on the other games in order to make such a big deal out of it.

I think the last time this was brought up, the general consensus was "no".

I'd rather get you a reading comprehension class, as I was clearing talking about high gravity mode and not Brawl in general.

 

[WoodyWiggins]

Nope, Heavy Gravity mode will simply be an alternative



in soviet russia . . .

 

[controlfreak7]

what I don't understand is this improves combo game so much I don't really get why people would have anything against it...
