As a pro Brawl player and now pro Smash 4 player...Ulti's amount of greater-thans in front of Brawl is probably closer to reality than it should be.

Brawl was a side event at our major over last weekend, and it was a bunch of us trying to remember how to play, and more importantly, trying to remember why we played, as every game took 6 minutes and had 0 action.


I mean some Brawl players like Brawl more because it was the epitome of being defensive. Every hit in competitive Brawl counts. Melee is the complete opposite and is very offensive. Smash 4 is in between but closer to Brawl than Melee. Brawl also had more advanced tech. From a non-competitive standpoint Brawl also had SSE, a godly OST, and some great fan service all around.

That being said I still like Smash 4 more because Brawl is hella jank and I don't enjoy playing something that defensive but if you're a top level Brawl player the reason why you'd play it seem to be obvious to me (you want to play the most defensive Smash).

If Wind Waker does actually get bandwagon strength if it beats VI and possibly VII.

Then FFIX should also beat OoT.

And the final should be The Wind Waker vs. FFIX. Everyone expected FFVII vs Ocarina of Time so it would be hilarious for different entries to be there in their place.


It would be funny to see the second worst Zelda game (disclaimer I have not played Skyward Sword) against the worst FF in the contest finals.


Wind waker is easily one of the best zelda games, especially WWHD. Up there with Majoras Mask. I don't understand how you could enjoy any zelda game and not enjoy WW as it encompasses the sense of exploring in such a great way.


Sailing and the horrible art style are the main things that ruined it for me. The game also didn't feel as good to play as OoT/MM/TP


But the art style is amazing. Sailing didn't bother me in the slightest. Swift Sail does make it hard to go back though. The gameplay is the best in the series.

This guy was not a pro brawl player, and is likely not a pro smash 4 player either(dunno as I don't follow smash4 as much). He is a competitive player who goes to tournaments and does well at locals, but he's never accomplished anything on a regional or national scale and never really beaten very notable players. He likes to mention he's a "pro" player though in every post he makes about smash lol.

No way. Melee is far superior gameplay wise to Brawl.

Smash Wii U ans Melee are quite different gameplay wise but both have good strengths. Making it easy for both to coexist with each other. Smash Wii U improves on everything Brawl did and made it actually quite good. Brawl simply can't coexist with either game.

Its stage builder was better though.

RIght, and 99.9% of the people that play those games are casual players.

Brawls neutral game was a lot more interesting than smash4s to me, which is a lot of just trying to grab the opponent into flowchart combo. Smash4 doesn't feel very expressive, I watch two people playing the same character and can't tell the difference(though this isn't true of all characters, Ryu looks interesting for example). This is the only smash game to make me feel this way. In melee I know if I'm watching m2k's marth or PPUs. In brawl I know if I'm watching Otori's MK or Antis. In smash 4 I don't know if I'm watching Vinnies or Zeros sheik for example(aside from the obvious playercams etc) because there is so much flowchart stuff and the goal of neutral is so apparent in that game.

This is entirely from a competitive view though. I like the games cast and it looks pretty.

What lol. Liking a game competitively does not make you insane, people are attracted to the insane depth of the melee mechanics and the freedom of control it gives you over your character compared to other games. And that saying is a joke in the competitive community, considering most people think FD is the least fair of the stagelist competitive melee uses and it's often not played on much aside from counterpicks in tournament. We also really tried to make items work, but the fact that they spawn in random places and can explode killing you with no counterplay just put too much luck into matches. The competitive community in general also has no problem with people playing the game casually, and more often than you think people play with items and all stages for fun..because they also have fun with the game in that way lol.

Brawl and smash 4 took away mechanics, not added them. That is the reason most competitive players prefer melee, because it's faster/has more options. It's combo system is incredibly complex as what both players are doing matters rather than just the person doing the combo, it's a game that has no end or walls to improvement, and the amount of depth in skill the game offers is almost unmatched between any game, not just the other smash games.

Casually, most melee players would agree that brawl/smash4 have more, but they enjoy melee because of it's competitive appeal, so that's a non-issue/argument. The most vocal melee supporters that bash other games are generally bad players who do horribly in tournaments, and are also usually new to the melee community and try to feel superior or elitest by bashing other games since they suck at melee and can't feel cool there. If you look at the top players(even like all the way to top 200) for melee, most are perfectly fine with the other games, and encourage people to play whatever they like.

It really sucks that we have vocal scumbags in our community that hate on the other games so much, they aren't very respected or acknowledged, they just make us look bad.

Like I said, I don't know smash4 that well so w/e. What tournament was that? Please link me so I can admire the lack of top players at it. Winning doubles with the best smash 4 player in the world is not that hard lol, Zero is a fairly good friend of mine I know how incredibly skilled at smash he is. What are your sponsors? Likely local game stores/companies, there is no reason you should be sponsored by anything real. How much salary do they pay you(oh wait..they don't lol).

Your state sucks at smash, and always has sorry :/.

Please show me your placings at nationals instead of local tournaments if you want to claim to be "professional". I hardly claim myself to be that(even though others claim me as such), and I have no doubt I've placed better than you at any national we've both attended(if you even go to them.)

Here, you can take a look at some of my national results yourself:

It's tough to say. Normal trends suggest that it will be in a world of pain for the next ~5 hours. I'd say that a comeback is still possible if it holds FF's lead to about 1500 and if the Zelda fans are ginned up for it. I don't expect that to happen, though. Again, the deep night vote is going to be bad.

FF6 really recovered nicely. 54/46, if it holds, is a decent percentage to get on a top zelda game. CT just made us go a little crazy I think.

if FF6/FF7 is 50/50, WW beats Smash 4 with 62.27%. that'll probably get wider as the day goes on but I have nothing wrong with Wind Waker doing that to Smash 4.
