InnerSpace 4 days ago#19 Darkest-Lord122 posted... Sakurai's fine...he just needs to stop listening to the cancerous fanbase. Then again, I kinda don't think he wants to be there anyway. Brawl was what happened when he said 'screw this, I don't need to listen to the fanbase', and Sm4sh was what happened when the Nintendo overlords gave primary development over to Bamco as they began to dissolve Sora, forced him to him cater to the competitive fans, and even made him out to be a liar after going over his head on DLC practices. Worse still, according to the Melee community, both of these games are still some sort of 'grand disservice' to the entire Smash franchise. Meanwhile, the Brawl/Sm4sh fanbase just can't stop instigating those same Melee fans in retaliation. I never played Smash competitively, and I'm glad for that fact: the Smash fanbase at large has a lot of good personalities. Which is a shame, because it's well-concealed by a playerbase that is, as a community, probably the most divisive and openly combative Nintendo fanbase I've ever seen, and it seems that there's just no winning with any of them at the end of the day Pretty sure with Sora officially dissolved, the next game will just be the Bandai-Namco dev team that handled the post-launch Sm4sh content anyway: Sakurai strikes me as the type of guy that would go full Kojima and simply not work on a game he didn't have full creative control over "How many Lowe's would Rob Lowe rob if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's?" quote

There was definitely a lot of questionable stuff in Sm4sh, but more than enough good to balance it out. Still wish Shovel Knight burrowed his way in their, but I digress. quote

"While its initial impression may strike some players as a bit ominous, the layout itself fairly standard, leading to serious, straightforward matches." Straight from the game itself. "He's better at one-on-one fights than melees with multiple foes." "In one-on-one battles, use transform as needed." Or heck, there wouldn't even be a tournament mode built into the game. Again...

Because one character that you had your hopes and dreams for never got in? That's...pretty sad tbh. As for Mario Kart...the roster is the least of my concerns. It's the racetracks that matter the most, and MK8 really delivered on that part. Playing games that you probably never heard of before. (edited 3 days ago)quote

   CubeTV 3 days ago#55 Lm03 posted... Sakurai unlike SF, took the other route and didn't let the game flourish it's competitive nature, and thus leaving us with Brawl. I'd honestly call Brawl worse than some of the worst games of all time because while those games were rushed out/unfinished/unpolished, they were not INTENTIONALLY made to be bad like Brawl was. It was intentionally made to "not play like past games" and such, which is even worse considering the art style being rather... "realistic" and even worse to look at than the past Smash games. When I say Brawl is just bad, I'm not talking about supposed "competitive depth". A thing that most people usually don't even accurately understand. I'm talking more about how Brawl as a whole, just doesn't feel right, everything from the games physics and its mechanics, the single player and more. The type of things that are hard to pin down and put into words, but are very important and you notice subconsciously. How the game has a severe lack of momentum, how running and jumping doesn't alter your physics. Because of this jumping feels unresponsive. But beyond that, the important things that are fundamental to a game are all wonky. Brawl has moves that are unsafe on hit. Forget big concepts like depth or competitiveness, that's just plain bad basic design that affects everything within the game. Then you have stuff like how recovery was simplified and made easier, it detracts from the tension and flow of matches. Or how defensive options were all buffed across the board without any other mechanic or feature to balance that out. Even casually, Brawl is a pretty big mess. Say what you will about "unfair stages/items", but in 64 and Melee, they were tame and simple. Compare Temple to New Pork City, Flat Zone 1 to 2 or Icicle Mountain (the only Melee stage I legitimately hate) to Rumble Falls. Stages being big just for the sake of being big, or "more scrolling! More gimmicks!". Item wise, just compare the 64/Melee ones to the Brawl ones like Pokeballs. In 64, they were simple. In Melee, they were more wild like Suecuine or Entei, but the mechanics helped balance it out like being able to Self-Directional Influence your way out. In Brawl, they were even more crazy Latios/Latias, Kyogre and Groudon) or useless. Or stupid stuff like more items backfiring (Smart Bomb, Timer, Lighting, Golden Hammer, even the "hyped" up Assist Trophy) because "random!" Brawl took the casual bits of 64/Melee, and exaggerated them. The worse things (scrolling stages, OP items) became worse, the game has a loading problem that I've never even heard of in a Nintendo game besides maybe Mario Party 4, and that's not even talking about the core mechanics (depth and such) themselves excluding the first paragraph. When I take a step back and look at Melee, I see a game from people that knew what 64 did right, what it did wrong, and aimed to make a sequel that not only addressed those issues, but continued to maximize their design space to fully flesh out the game. With Brawl I see a game made by people that are trying to make a new wheel and instead ended up with a unfocused game that just falls flat when it didn't need to a new wheel in the first place. Thankfully, Smash 4 has ironed out some of these problems. Keyword being "some". There's still that momentum problem and general "new wacky thing for the sake of a wacky thing" like Smash Tour. In my opinion though, in the end, it's essentially "fixed Brawl" or "Brawl 1.5" rather than feeling like a new game. (edited 3 days ago)quote

You're one to talk about having personal beefs. http://backloggery.com/davcube quote

   GPRailroad 2 days ago#70 There was/is nothing wrong with Melee's competitive nature and despite that, it's still a pick-up-and play party game. Nobody was complaining about Melee being "too competitive" until Brawl came out and undid what Melee had brought forth. It's ridiculous to think that more casual players won't buy a new Smash game because it plays like Melee. Shoot, based on my experience, casual players seem to like Melee the most; it's easily the most talked about of all the Smash titles. The way I see it, going from Melee to Brawl was a matter of fixing something that wasn't broken. Nickelodeon (n): An insult to TV animation; an embarrassment to mainstream cartoons since 2005.

   Lm03 2 days ago#71 CubeTV posted... When I say Brawl is just bad, I'm not talking about supposed "competitive depth". A thing that most people usually don't even accurately understand. I'm talking more about how Brawl as a whole, just doesn't feel right, everything from the games physics and its mechanics, the single player and more. The type of things that are hard to pin down and put into words, but are very important and you notice subconsciously. How the game has a severe lack of momentum, how running and jumping doesn't alter your physics. Because of this jumping feels unresponsive. But beyond that, the important things that are fundamental to a game are all wonky. Brawl has moves that are unsafe on hit. Forget big concepts like depth or competitiveness, that's just plain bad basic design that affects everything within the game. Then you have stuff like how recovery was simplified and made easier, it detracts from the tension and flow of matches. Or how defensive options were all buffed across the board without any other mechanic or feature to balance that out. i totally get what you mean. is not a competitive depth or anything, it's flat out the core gameplay that suffered heavily made the game feel awkward as hell. Smash 4 fixed a lot of issues, but it still retain certain "brawl" aspects like you mentioned. it also doesnt help at all that the UI in itself in menus borrows some stuff from brawl, making it feel like a brawl 1.5, like the sound effects of the menus and stuff. quote

I'll take Koizumi instead (the producer of Galaxy, 3D Land/World, Odyssey) why not both? they both excels in amazing things Yabuki looks like he's more into fighting games though, thanks to ARMS. that showcase he did against the Tournament Champion was totally nuts and i never expected that from a developer lol i think with his current mindset in making a fighting game have depth and competitive value, he could make a great Smash game. quote

My problem with melee is how it's aged. Both visually and gameplaywise, the newer games improved on it. The biggest examples That come to mind is being able to grab the ledge while facing away from it. That s*** was so annoying in Melee. Controls also feel alot of stiff. I understand some individuals are purists and feel betrayed that certain elements like wavedashing (cough* glitch* cough*) were ironed out in later entries, but as a player that has no interest in them, why would go back to melee when Brawl and Smash 4 introduced ledge trumping, have more characters and are visually more polished? Whatsmore is mechanically, they are more approachable and design-wise, (particularly with Smash 4) more balanced games than melee.

The visuals of a nearly 16 year old game are going to look dated but Melee's graphics were incredible for its time yet still hold up nicely now in the HD era. Gameplay hasn't aged at all IMO. The only thing that's "aged" about it is how it's been changed subsequently. The biggest examples That come to mind is being able to grab the ledge while facing away from it. That s*** was so annoying in Melee. Doesn't bother me either way. Melee had more realistic physics which made it a little more challenging to play but it certainly wasn't game-breaking. Controls also feel alot of stiff. How so? I understand some individuals are purists and feel betrayed that certain elements like wavedashing (cough* glitch* cough*) were ironed out in later entries, but as a player that has no interest in them Neither have I. why would go back to melee when Brawl and Smash 4 introduced ledge trumping, have more characters and are visually more polished? Because Melee was more fun despite not having quite as much content as its successors. What Brawl and 4 possessed that Melee didn't doesn't take anything away from Melee. They were later installments and if not necessarily expected to improve upon quality were at least expected to improve upon the quantity of content seen in Melee. Whatsmore is mechanically, they are more approachable and design-wise, (particularly with Smash 4) more balanced games than melee. What do you mean buly design-wise? By being brighter and more colorful in appearance in contrast to Melee being darker and edgier aesthetically? Eh... I guess but it's not like Melee's aesthetic ruined what it brought to the table. Besides, it's edgy look fit in with the term "Melee". Nickelodeon (n): An insult to TV animation; an embarrassment to mainstream cartoons since 2005.

Okay now you are just lying to yourself. i'ts okay if you wanna say it doesn't bother you, that is your opinion, but they don't hold up at all in the modern age. the Models are fine for the most part but the textures and effects are pretty ancient, even by GC standards. Doesn't bother me either way. Melee had more realistic physics which made it a little more challenging to play but it certainly wasn't game-breaking. There is nothing realistic about Melee's physics. And whatsmore, "realistic"ness wouldn't even be a good thing for melees physics even if it were the case. How so? The way the animations go off is a lot more jerky and the games movement is a lot more spazzy. I understand that the Melee diehards like this about the game, but I prefer the flow that was introduced and refined in later entries. Makes goign back to melee feel like playing on a potato. Because Melee was more fun despite not having quite as much content as its successors. In what regard? The only thing I miss from melee is how you could have a million of a given item out at the same time, whereas Brawl onward limited the amount of a given item that could be out at once. Used to love having pokeball-only battles with 99 lives on Pokemon stadium with items set to max. What Brawl and 4 possessed that Melee didn't doesn't take anything away from Melee. Being able to hit the ledge without facing it, Ledge trumping effectively killing ledge-hogging alone make them superior to melee tbqh. Whatsmore is that especially in Smash 4, the entire roster got overhauled in terms of balance. Both brawl but especially melee still suffers from characters like Bowser being trash and unfun to play. Smash 4 balanced this across the board and now every character is at least enjoyable enough to warrant playing outside of the irony of playing them. Later games also significantly lowered the amount of clones in the game, where Melee had the most at 7. They were later installments and if not necessarily expected to improve upon quality were at least expected to improve upon the quantity of content seen in Melee. So your argument is that "later installments are better but because its expected to be, they aren't....better"? You clearly say melee is more fun, so you are sending mixed messages here. What do you mean buly design-wise? By being brighter and more colorful in appearance in contrast to Melee being darker and edgier aesthetically? Eh... I guess but it's not like Melee's aesthetic ruined what it brought to the table. Besides, it's edgy look fit in with the term "Melee". By design wise, i am talking about the design of the stages,and the game as a whole for the most part. Melee wasn't designed with balance in mind at all, from the stages to the characters. While Brawl had the 1 misshap of metaknight, Later entries were a lt's more balanced, both in terms of level design and in terms of character balance, and the skill gap needed to play the game effectively wasn't as drastically steep as in melee.

   Jack_the_monke7 1 day ago#78 Sakurai is a great developer who has made Smash what it is. He has some really awesome qualities as Smash director such as his insistence on making as few cuts as possible (between 3 Smash sequels we got less cuts than the one Injustice sequel) and on keeping the roster very diverse with his additions. The downside is how stubborn he can be. Fans are kicking down the door screaming for a character like Ridley, but he refuses to even try. Same goes for characters like Toad and King K Rool, huge Nintendo characters that should be on the roster, but Sakurai still hasn't done it.

Fans are kicking down the door screaming for a character like Ridley, but he refuses to even try. it has been put on record several times that they tried but couldn't get it to work while still adequately representing the character. hell, Ridley in Smash 4, despite being a boss character, has all the animations and frames of a playable character, which lends us to believe its current state if the result of them not getting it to work. Not only has Sakurai therefore tried, but tried multiple times despite being of the believe that ti could not work, and the fan versions of it show just how much of a headache it is to do as well, given how poorly they come out. Same goes for characters like Toad and King K Rool, huge Nintendo characters that should be on the roster, but Sakurai still hasn't done it. Okay , I was trying to be respectful by avoiding making the following comment despite it being a post about Ridley, but at this point i can't. Literally it is just whining that X character did or didn't make it into the game at that point. What makes anyone believe they would get what you want with someone else at the Helm instead of Sakurai? Seriously. MvC struggles to even properly have megaman in the entries. Also, lol at toad so much as needing/deserving an entry. King K.rool is being overblown here as well, but at least he has a legacy and precedence being the original Main Villain of the DK series. Toad tho? Really? It's reasons like these that the devs DON"T listen to fans sometimes. FC: 1977 - 0616 - 0040 Gallant was here (edited 1 day ago)quote

I think you're exaggerating but OK. In what regard? The only thing I miss from melee is how you could have a million of a given item out at the same time, whereas Brawl onward limited the amount of a given item that could be out at once. Gameplay; being straight to the point without being barebones and having tons of replay value. It's just more fun to me. I haven't played Brawl since at least 2011 and don't miss it and though I enjoy 4 much more, it gets boring real quick whereas even after playing Melee for nearly 2 decades and unlocking just about everything, I still continuously go back for more. Fun varies from person to person but the fact that I continue to play it despite having already done just about everything to do on it means that it's fun.

Later games also significantly lowered the amount of clones in the game, where Melee had the most at 7. Most of that doesn't bother me. I personally like edge-hogging since I know how to use it to my advantage. The only thing I can agree with you on is character balance but even then that's not enough to change my mind on which game is still the better/best overall package. So your argument is that "later installments are better but because its expected to be, they aren't....better"? You clearly say melee is more fun, so you are sending mixed messages here. No, I said later installments of a series are expected to be better than their predecessors and in many cases can fall short. Brawl and 4 despite offering more content still fall short of what Melee brings to the table. They improved on the quantitative aspect but not the qualitative.

I already addressed this with a similar point you made previously. The average (casual) video game player had no issue with Melee's mechanics and I doubt even with Brawl and Smash 4 they even do because I still hear many say that Melee is their favorite. It's us hardcore gamers who didn't start comparing, contrasting and preferring one title over the other until that shift in mechanics between Melee and Brawl.
