Forum:Is this game really more balanced than Brawl?

Forums: Index → Melee Talk → Is this game really more balanced than Brawl?

I often hear Melee player who hate brawl say "OMG Brawl nerfed Fox and MK is so cheap". While both of these are through, the statement is misleading. While many characters that were good in Melee were nerfed in Brawl, their nerfs were not that bad. This is compared to Kirby's nerf from smash 64 to Melee. Also consider that in Melee, because of really cheap wavedashing and L-Cancelling, Fox, Sheik, C. Falcon, Falco etc dominate, while Kirby, Ness, Pichu, Mewtwo and Bowser are so bad they are unplayable. Opinions? Mr. Anon (talk) 23:38, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Melee is not necesarily more balanced then Brawl, there are dominating and unplayable characters in both games. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 23:58, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

I don't like using terms like "cheap" and "broken", but I do agree that Brawl is more balanced than Melee. Meta Knight and Snake are better in Brawl than Fox and the rest of the top tiers were in Melee, but Ganondorf in Brawl is certainly better than Pichu, Kirby, and Mewtwo were in Melee. There are more viable characters in Brawl than there were in Melee in my opinion. Also, L-canceling I would not consider "cheap" by any means. Every character could use it and it helped slower characters such as Bowser and Ganondorf more than the faster characters. L-canceling did balance things more but when it comes to how the characters compare to each other, I say Brawl is more balance than Melee was. Omega Tyrant 00:04, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Do either of you know the difference between the words than and then? Than is used for comparison (as in comparative statements), and then's use is as a [usually non-specific] time marker or with a sequence of events. This is a Wiki, not MySpace, so grammar is of major importance, especially if you want readers of your posts to understand what your points! Try to keep this in mind.

I know the difference. Sorry for my ignorance. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 01:52, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I do know the difference between "then" and "than". As I can see, I made two mistakes of the two as I really didn't put too much input into this post so you shouldn't be directing your post at me. You shouldn't be complaining that my grammar is bad because it is not and just because I made a couple of non intentional grammar mistakes doesn't mean that my post is unreadable. If you want to see horrible grammar, go to Meta Knight's talk page. Don't ever accuse me of treating this Wiki like MySpace just because I inputted "e" between "th" and "y" accidentally a couple of times. Omega Tyrant 02:03, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Is grammar even the most important thing in the world on a talk page? I think we should worry more about grammar on our main pages. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 02:07, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but some people are strict with English and can't read incorrect grammar. It still should be correct. I know you're using an i-pod, but that's a small excuse.--Megatron1 (talk) 02:09, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll pay better attention in the future. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 03:20, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Mewtwo is not useless, he can be good if used defensivly so don't call him useless or the other characters useless. I just think that Melee is more balanced because of Meta Knight. Doc King (talk) 17:48, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
