What happened to your old account Time for a change of pace, yo.

Business Administration hopefully with a finance core at State University at Albany

I am mildly upset that this is working out so well for good ol' proph. I should have thought of this =|, cuz I build comps. too

I'm still here, lurking... quietly. This is Leon K, btw Hai Guys.

First: I in no way am insulting Brawl, I like it and enjoy it. But that does not erase simple facts about the way the game is made. Disputing this is like disputing facts about the game engine, things you can sit there and SEE with your own two eyes. If you don't see it, then quite simply, you are blind. Also: I am NOT saying that those who were good in melee should neccesarily be good in Brawl. Also, if you are good in Brawl, do not automatically assume that you are better than an equivalently skilled Melee player. Like you people say, these are different games. Explanation for those who can't understand why I say Brawl is not as competitive a game as Melee, and is geared towards much more casual playing: lul, It's attack, defense and punishment friend. If you attack in brawl, you get no reward for breaking through their defense and landing one or two hits, it just resets and puts them back on the defensive and you at a disadvantage AGAIN. In melee, when two people engaged in an attack and defense situation, the winner gave out punishment to the degree of alot of damage/and or a stock loss. In this, you get no reward, you just add a little bit of damage to the meter and you try again , so on and so forth until someone manages to land a smash attack. It can be fairly entertaining, but does not a truly competitive game make. And friend, Street Fighter 3 wasn't defensive oriented. It was BALANCED. Parry's were made with small frame windows (Read: Technical Skill) and it took even more to turn those parries into reversal combos. Just as easily, You can mistime a parry, and get your shit raped by some ridiculous combo that the offensive guy put out. Daigo wins because he's a master of the offensive AND defensive, not because he sits there and turtles because defense is overpowered. You are simply wrong about that point. ALSO: Technical Skill in melee WAS defined by wavedashing, shffling, fair/bair/dair combos, expert ledgehogging, etc etc. If you couldn't win because someone was beating you using these tactics, then you simply were a worse player than they were, PERIOD. If you COULD win against people using these tactics without using them, then show me where you place on the national melee rankings please? Do NOT sit there and argue that melee takes less skill than brawl, or even equal skill. Those "glitches" were what made Melee into the competitive monster that it is(was) today. I'm not here to argue with you guys, I'm simply stating facts. If you want to disregard them, go on and do so. It doesn't make you right, It just makes you ignorant and uninformed. That guy who was talking shit in the chatlog was an idiot, but he had a point. With that, I go upstairs to practice mah Wolf and Lucas.

I never saw the match that was in question, but high level brawl is a camp and spam fest, and if you swear that you're not doing it, then you will 99% of the time lose to someone who knows how to do it well. Defense is overpowered in Brawl. Also, the cap between noob and pro is vastly smaller than in melee as of right now. It's really not a very skill intensive game. That melef guy was right, alot of people who had the technical skill and mindgames to win in melee cannot win anywhere near that consistently in brawl. There is no defining thing to make any person really THAT much better. In brawl, when you're playing other people, unless you camp, you really can only win fairly consistently as far as I can see. It's too easy to punish people who attack you, simple as that. I'm not saying it's not a fun game or anything, but it's not built for truly competitive play. Niether was melee really, but people found shit to abuse and it became a highly competitive game because the amount of technical skill and mental games that were needed to win at a high level. Maybe if they find some shit like that in Brawl it will break the game too, but until that happens I'll be content just fucking around in brawl.

Let me be one of the people to say that I think this is real. Look at the trailer, even though it's an indie film, it still has alot of money behind it. I think IGN posted this purposefully on April Fool's day as part of a marketing viral kind of thing for the movie. If they ARE fronting this movie, it can only get better. Maybe it's a fake, but I hope not. It has so much potential.

I'm an old-school member who's got a new name and a new outlook. I'm gonna try and be a bigger part of the community then I was currently, the old name was Leon K. I'm actually gonna work on some remixes now (Hopefully).
