Why Can't These Nintendo Fukkbois Let Go Of Smash Bros Melee?

[bogey_j]

game is nearly 20 years old

you don't see street fighter players clinging onto SF3 & 4 even though theyre superior to SF5 they let go of those games and embraced the new instead of wallowing in nostalgia

why can't these nintendo fukkbois let go of an old ass gamecube game and embrace smash 4?

The funny thing is that most SF fans are extremely critical, we all know about season 2 SF5 being trash and pro's being very vocal about it.


However, Bros players like that cheapness, even more so than Chris G...many melee fans like having a version of meta knight in every game. For me PSABR was better, and didn't rely on percent farming to kill your enemy.

Brawl is my fave tbh. Guess people just love the gamecube controller.

Melee is really good competitively and way more technical compared the next games. And I wouldn't they say they embraced SF5, Capcom shoved it down their throat, and they went with it.

SF fans could easily bring back SF3 or 4 to the tournament scene if they wanted to but mentally they let go and moved on. that's something ninetndo fans in particular have trouble doing

The reason people still play Melee is because Brawl was intentionally designed to be as anti-competitive as possible with random tripping, and the total removal of nearly all of the advanced movement and spacing options that sped up gameplay and gave a lot of characters the tools they needed to be able to throw hands with the likes of Sheik and Marth.

The absence of L-cancelling, wavedashing, double jump cancelling, hitstun, dash dancing, etc. killed the combo game and made Brawl a campfest, and nobody had the tools to be able to effectively fight against Metaknight, resulting in a stale metagame.

Smash 4 is still a good game, but even that entry still plays nothing like Melee. Almost all of the tech unique to Melee can't be found in ANY other fighting game out there, and people are still discovering new tech over 15 years later. At least with Street Fighter, there are other games that play similarly (Blazblue, Guilty Gear, etc.) even when new releases are announced.

Just because a game is new doesn't mean that everyone's obligated to drop everything and only play that shiniest, newest, game. There hasn't been a deeper Smash game since Melee, although 4 is still good.

I don't get the concept of tripping even in Smash 4 my character suddenly goes dizzy for whatever reason I can't explain and I can't move

no they couldn't, Capcom/Sony putting up 6 figures for brehs to play SFV, they ain't getting that with SF3 or SF4.

to my knowledge, the pot for melee is coming straight from the total of all the entrance fee with it being $10 a pop..... melee had 1435, multiply that by the entrance fee and you'll have a $14,000 prize pot.

A large portion of Nintendo's business is nostalgia.

Smash Bros has always been trash to me.

go on smash.gg and there's a ton of melee tournaments scheduled
