I main falco in melee (brawls gay) and I like to think im pretty good.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

i like to crush ppl with DK from time to time

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

I wish they made Melee's multiplayer into a wii ware game just so you could play it online.

I'd pay 10 bucks to play that baby forever.

Even before I learned all the advanced stuff (which took months of practice), loved Melee. My favorite game from the last generation.

Gonna go play it now. Ken Combo some unsuspecting lvl 9 Fox.

ya but brawls better


also its a real shame they botched brawls online play cause it could have been sickwitit, lags usually unplayab;e

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

Anyone who doesn't say original is the best is just straight up wrong. There are reasons why there are still original smash tournies played throughout the world for money, its the best game

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

no its not. great game for its time but melee and brawl are better. im gonna go out on a limb and say brawl>melee>orig

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

absolutely not, first off the characters in brawl and meelee are made so that only 5-6 characters are used by anyone who is decent, meanwhile in orig. you can use ANY character and be good, as long as you practice.


the levels are insanely dumb. Moving levels? Wow, what a way to even take more skill out of the game.

4 life, no item original > both melee/brawl combined

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

its on ****in n64. n64 sucks so bad.
i agree with the character thing to an exent, but i think the character issue only applies if your talking about mega-ultra competitive tournament play. agree about moving levels 100%. never play on them tho. also, DK was moderately bad on melee and orig, and was upgraded a decent bit on brawl, so thats another reason why its better

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

I'm sticking with Melee>>>N64>Brawl for multiplayer purposes. The speed of Melee remains unmatched. You could literally train every day for a year and still get owned by people with freakish gaming skills. Took me like a month to be able to wavedash across a map somewhat effectively. Brawl does lack technical requirements but it even the playing field so smart strategists fight more effectively than before.

I get the "in melee there's only 6 competitive characters argument" but so? Play those 6 characters and problem solved! Are you mad that Mewtwo sucks?

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

The level of skill difference in original >>>> Melee. Go youtube isea if you don't believe me, dude is an absolute freak

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

I checked this thread out because I DVRed an episode of True Life where it talks about professional gaming, and one of the gamers played Smash for a living.

I know who Isai is, and his Falcon looks much more impressive from a technical standpoint than any of his 64 dudes.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

N64: DK-throw off ledge then jump over them and down A or over A for instant kill imo

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

I wasn't a big fan of Melee or Brawl. I thought that the N64 one was perfect, even though it had less characters. I was very good with Kirby and Yoshi, pretty good with Pikachu and Mario, and decent enough with DK and Captain Falcon.

One of our friends was nigh unbeatable when he used Jigglypuff. No one could touch him. Even after playing against him for hours, it was hard to get his routine down enough to come up with a good counter strategy. Generally against him I just kept my distance until he had to hit the ground and tried to be the perfect distance away to land a good forward smash attack. He was also very very good with Samus, but nothing like Jigglypuff.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

Brawl was nowhere near as good as I thought it would be. Granted I don't own a Wii, but I have put in probably 15 hours at a friends house. Huge dissapointment, and horrid multiplayer.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

Anyone saying Brawl is the best must have missed that the title says "Competitive Smash Brothers". There's no way that failure of a game is anywhere close to the other two in terms of tournament-worthiness.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

Brawl made things way too complicated. There was always too much going on and it really took away from the characters just beating each other up, imo. Melee had a little bit of this, but I thought they still did a good enough job of making it replayable.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

Melee is easy in the fact that the combos are combos, and they are set. There are few combos to master, and you rarely interchange.

In original, you can constantly change combos within combos. Saying his Falcon is more technical then his N64 pikachu is lolworthy, his pikachu is simply unbeatable. He does combos that you couldnt even imagine.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

In Brawl, you can't even combo. You attack, they fall back, and everything resets to neutral.

Yes Isai did some sick stuff on the N64 but if the game is more technically demanding then Isai would have been the best player in Melee too, but he wasn't....he was only...a top ten player lol. He played pure freak in the N64 game, no doubt. But everything about Melee was faster. They ran faster, fell to the ground significantly faster, faster moves, etc.

I live in philadelphia area, and go to school near pittsburgh. we should organize something for 2p2ers...ssb is easily one of the greatest games in existence. I have brawl here in philly and melee at school.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

Brawl was such a disappointment from a competitive standpoint :(
I literally bought a Wii just for Brawl, too.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

I played the original and rocked my brothers as Ness (D-air is sicknasty against people who don't get it), missed out on melee, and really enjoy brawl for all its goodness. Though he's a pretty poor character, I enjoy playing Lucas in brawl, often subbing in people like Diddy Kong, snake, and toon link in for the fun of things (would agree snake is prob the best among them due to his interesting abilities / style and good tilt attacks). Luckily I don't have to deal with super awesome brawl players otherwise I'd lose favor of most of my characters real quick.

Re: Competitive Smash Brothers
 

me and my roomates literally play original smash an hour or so a day on average for like 3 years...i always stick with kirby and pikachu but it really depends on how many humans you are playing with. We usualy get all 4 so i have no problem but if im going one on one i cant really play kirby bc hes too slow. but with 4 ppl hes def my favorite. That being said I'm not the best player and one guy dominates with ness and other guy is pretty good with DK or fox if its one on one...the "gap" move is definitely key i dont know why we call it that but its the down A in the space where it just shoots them down...kirby's is pretty tough afaik the only thing that overrides his twinkletoes is captain falcon's up B cuz he grabs you but falcon in general sucks

DK's pretty much impossible to defend too with all that reach

literally never ever get tired of this game though it has to be the ultimate stoner game of all time


I think Ness is definitely the most complicated to play with but the most powerful in the right hands...i just cannot get that B up move to ever connect and get him back on the map though..im much more comfortable edge guarding with kirby and his 5 jumps


pikachu is kind of unfun but i play with him alot because his grab is so freaking quick and the power A move has alot of reach for when you throw them to side of map and they have to land close to edge...and his A move overrides tons of other moves in ties
