Annual E3 topic (Since 2017)

Dude, it has wave dashing. Nerfed or not. Aerials cancels are double what they were on the Wii U unless my eyeballs are lying to me. Did you even played Smash 4? It sounds like you actually don't care if every single mechanic of Melee was present one way or another, that you only like Melee for nostalgic reasons and not because of the characters and the gameplay mechanics.

That said, the mechanics Sakurai is introducing and the ones he is bringing back are nothing but competitive, I don't know what they put in his food because I recall him saying he didn't want to go this route, yet he is doing it, he also said he wasn't going to make another game and here it is.

My assumption is that the Yakuza is behind all of this and he has a gun pointed at him at all times.

Autocanceling is part of what ruins the challenge of the newer games. L-canceling alone is what made the first two games so damn rewarding and deep on a competitive level. I HATE this amount of hand-holding Nintendo is putting into the series.

I wouldn't be so mad if Nintendo hadn't canceled their plans to release Gamecube games (including Melee) for the Switch. It's not fair that the new generation of Nintendo fans can't experience Melee for themselves.

Ultimate is no replacement for Melee.

Suit yourself.


But regardless, I think everyone deserves to have easy access to Melee. I can't believe it's never been re-released (it's the GC's best selling game after all). A lot of people are also likewise begging for other GC exclusives like Paper Mario TTYD to be released on the Switch.

That's exactly the problem with l-canceling, people deny the fact that any worthiness it has is invalidated by its massive input tax.

The only reason why people like it is because they like pressing more buttons. The same thing goes with having to jump and airdodge in order to wavedash, or jump-cancel grabs. It serves no practical purpose when all that stuff can be used with a single input.

At least now you admit about the input. Sorry I had to correct you on that.

That said, I see your point, but casualization is definitively not a deal breaker for me as long as the mechanics are there.

That's why I never criticized Arc System Works with what they did with Dragon Ball FighterZ. The inputs are casual as fuck, but unless you have a deep understanding of the game you will still get demolished.

I'm liking all the competitive mechanics added to the new Smash game. I love how dodging now scales, so each new dodge gives you more vulnerability. That's the kind of challenge I'm down for.

Melee is a fine game, but I like Brawl better, and the new one looks even more promising than Brawl.

By the way, I'm liking what I'm seeing of Team Sonic Racing. Those British guys have been taking a good care of this spin-off series.

I'm not in the competitive scene for Melee, no, I never was. Sorry to disappoint you friend. I still think Melee is a good game. I would buy it immediately if they would port it. Brawl is better though. Like I said, casualization has never been a problem with Smash games, and it doesn't make them less competitive. People just gets obsessed over the most trivial things, and it is totally fine.

We can all agree that just because you like Melee doesn't mean you like Smash, and just because you like the series in general it doesn't mean you don't like Melee. That's just common sense.
