  • @anotherchanneliguess2335
    @anotherchanneliguess2335 Před rokem +114

    I feel like Brawl was overall the most important game in Smash's series, and here's why:
    Brawl really gave the community a springboard for new players to get into the mechanics of playing the game competitively, and the slower pace compared to Melee and arguably 64 helped with that tremendously. Furthermore, it gave us the very first third-party characters in the form of Sonic and Snake. Without Brawl, we likely would never have been able to see Ryu, Cloud, Bayonetta, and later on Steve, Kazuya, and every other third-party newcomer that arrived in the next two games. The game also gave us Subspace Emissary, which is so well-made it could've been an entire game on its own, but Sakurai was just that generous with content, ig (And it runs laps around World of Light imo, so that's a W as well). The soundtrack truly sounds like the development team gave it their all to make some of the most unforgettable, beautiful songs in Smash history. They're miles more memorable than what Smash 4 gave us, as well as still holding up when compared to Ultimate's soundtrack (which is still good, don't get me wrong, but I still feel Brawl's is better). Overall, it really helped to get a lot of beginners off the ground and into the competitive scene (including myself) and just did almost everything perfectly in my opinion.

    I always really like your Brawl videos, because you have interesting takes as a top player when a lot of people misunderstood the game or the meta.
    And most chaingrabs weren't really that bad or common, only a couple of the cast had them, and some of them were just in obscure matchups (i.e Marth vs. PK Kids or Pit vs. superheavies). Other than ICs and Pikachu vs. Fox and DDD vs. Bowser/DK, the chaingrabs were more limited and not like 0 deaths or infinites. Falco had against most of the cast, but he did like 60 only against super heavies as well.

    Honestly, as I've learned more about the game, my opinion on brawl MK is pretty simple.
    Brawl MK, although absolutely broken, actually had a really cool and interesting playstyle that deserved to come back.
    The problem is, the mechanics of the game and the strengths of other characters (eg: Icies, biggest problem of it) forced him to use his broken tools defensively, rather than play more aggressively.
    I'd loved to have seen him become more like Brawl again in Ultimate. But like, a non-broken version, y'know?
    Then again, Ultimate's shields are still really strong... so..

    • @ToxicPea
      @ToxicPea Před rokem +3

      Speaking of aggressive Meta Knights, I think his Kirby Fighters 2 (2020) rendition is really interesting. Now having an updated (and game-accurate) moveset, he actually plays pretty much how he was intended, but the more traditional nature of the KF2 engine incentivizes broken corner loops. If this version of Meta Knight was tweaked slightly and put into an actual smash game where corners didn't exist, I wonder if he would be a healthy top tier.

    You mention how Brawl's meta against meta knight was very different at the end of Brawl's life. I think the issue I see with that is at the end of Brawl's life, the damage was already done and it was too late. I guess my thinking is that it doesn't really matter how much of an issue it is at it's deathbed, the problem was it was an issue during the height of the game and when it had it's biggest player base.
    Maybe Meta Knight didn't kill Brawl, but it definitely poisoned the well preventing it from being anything more.

      The meta was based in how to defeat him, for Steve there's even new data to counter phantom block thing.
      Steve is a strong character, but hard to masterize. We only have 3 players who get consistent placements on majors with Acola, Onin and lately Jake.
      Meta Knight was a character with easier elements to masterize and his effectiveness was definitely broken.

    Yeah I still think the wobbling ban was a bit obnoxious, despite how much more crazy some of the handoffs have become. As great as Slug, MOF, and others have become, there's still a major drop in IC presence which stinks because it's one of my favorite characters to watch
    If we were to strike a balance I would say you get 3 wobbles (anything above 30%) and doing so would require the Popo to kill Nana and ride out the rest of the stock as Sopo. It'd need more refining naturally to avoid exploitation, but there would be some risk/reward. Do you blow them early to get a leg up on the opponent or save them for later and attempt to handoff until then?
