(Temporarily closed. ...Gwaargh!) doo wee doo wee doo Posts: 3,617 Group: Sage Member #7,789 Joined: February 7, 2008 Gender Male	Funny, I played Melee last night for the first time in quite a while. I just wanted to mess around, play my old favorite stages (Fourside <3), listen to the music - you know. I must say, though, that each time I go back to Melee I'm astounded by how difficult it is to control, compared to Brawl. I used to not understood why Brawl was said to be so much more accessible, but when I play Melee it's pretty obvious. I mean, sure, Melee's mechanics allow for some interesting manipulations and techniques, competitively speaking, but I find Brawl's mechanics to be so much more smooth and easy to get into. Plus Ness is just really bad on Melee ;p

And a quick nod of my head to everything you jut said about Fourside.

I do play Melee competitively- I like how you said "mechanics" and not "glitches", when said glitches were left in on purpose. Here are Sakurai's thoughts about the transition from Melee to Brawl and why he removed a lot of competitive elements. http://nintendoeverything.com/56909/sakurai-shares-his-thoughts-on-super-smash-bros-melee/ Edited by Eremurus, Oct 9 2011, 05:39 PM.

Melee was truely great for fighting and awesome for multyplaying! what if the next Gen smash bros would be a combo inbetween?

Resident Smile Enthusiast :D Posts: 4,170 Group: Sage Member #13,449 Joined: December 31, 2010 Gender Male Coins 24 Coins, 1 Peek	I think I need to take a day and go back and play them all together to examine the differences in gameplay a little more closely. I've been playing Smash Bros. since the n64 one, but I never really noticed that huge a difference between them, other than the obvious things, like updated graphics and more characters and game modes with each newer entry. I think I typically chose Brawl because I liked how much it offered to do as compared to the other two, plus Toon Link is a fucking boss. I've probably spent the most time on Melee though. I never really felt like one was any harder than the other. Just one had a whole lot more in terms of content. I also like many of the items they added to Brawl, like the assist trophies and final smashes for each character. I felt like it kept the game fresh for a longer period of time. Brawl had a much longer and more satisfying story mode, (which had co-op!) and the snapshot mode or whatever was a huge improvement over Melee's. As far as character roster goes though, I miss quite a few of the characters from Melee. Edited by MetaZora, Oct 10 2011, 02:42 PM.

King Dedede Posts: 267 Group: King Dedede Member #14,054 Joined: September 1, 2011 Coins 7	64 is like playing underwater compared to the other two, but I like it a lot better. It's less reactive and more strategic, you see attacks coming so it's about using the proper counter moves and timing them effectively. And its fun raping with yoshi.

Don't you agree, Zach?

I've always managed quite well with Ness in Melee. Melee vs Brawl... I think I'd choose Brawl because I prefer the Wiimote/nunchuck controls. If that was ignored, I don't think I could choose between the two.

Nintendo Forever! X3 Posts: 534 Group: Toadette Member #13,889 Joined: June 26, 2011 Gender Female Coins 6	True. I love Brawl better, and I always play as Pikachu...he pwns!! I also love the boss battles, and I have the second best memories from it (second being Pokemon Diamond)! Also, what characters do you guys play as?

I jump around a lot and it depends on which game. For Melee I use Ness the most, followed by Samus and Zelda/Sheik. For Brawl I use Ness, Wolf, and Pit the most. Like I said though, I jump around a bunch and end up using really any character.

Man of Game War Posts: 1,826 Group: Kirby Member #9,337 Joined: March 31, 2008 Coins 16	I'd have to say, I was disappointed when my best character, Kirby, was a lot less powerful in Brawl than Melee. But I manage. I will say I can kick more ass in Melee than Brawl. Funny thin is, Melee's CPU characters in many ways are harder in Melee than Brawl. Yet, I was winning 3v1 matches where i was the 1 and fighting against 3 level 9 CPUs in Melee as Kirby. I haven't had the same success in Brawl.
