Topic: Melee or Brawl

Your pick. I honestly like both games equally. If I was forced i would pick brawl

I choose Brawl because it was the one I spent the most time with.

Melee isn't bad, but I don't quite understand why everyone prefers it over brawl. The only reasons I've heard are Wave Dashing and L Cancelling.

Brawl. It's even more accessible due to the reduced speed and sensitivity, and because of some mechanics such as air dodging being improved. I also like how many of the “clone” fighters were removed, replaced, or heavily altered, and how there was a more even distribution in series representation. Some of the modes, like Event Match and Target Smash, were better in Melee, and Melee generally had more creative stages, but I prefer Brawl overall thanks to the gameplay tweaks and the character roster.

Melee is a better game.

Brawl, don't care if it's "slower" its still fun as ever.

Brawl

This is pretty much a proven fact by now...

Um... Brawl is better.

Brawl. Melee became to competitive between my brother and I. Brawl was a lot more fun and casual.

No it's not. It's really not. I don't even like Melee, but it doesn't take a fan to realize that Brawl basically stripped out any amount of dignity, complexity, and balance the series might've had as a legitimately competitive fighting game, further bringing the series into mear party favor territory that you break out when your friends don't want to play a real fighting game.

This place is gonna be a war zone soon...

Which doesn't make it a worse game, just a different style of game

Question: Melee or Brawl? Answer: The whole series.

Cartoon Network Punch Out Explosion or whatever its called is the better game.

LOL its obviously subjective but I know TONS of people that play Smash Bros and none of them play Brawl. I was in college when Brawl was released and literally everyone bought it and went right back to Melee a few months later.

For the record I dont think Brawl is a bad game. I just think Melee does a lot of things better.

Super Smash Bros. The original.

Melee was a better game, brawl was better for creating an experience.

Brawl isn't bad per se, it's just that Melee is much, much better to play.
But when taking Project M into account, Brawl suddenly gains some new appeal.

Yeah SSB isn't a real fighting game
