Play Melee instead. It actually requires skill. Brawl, like everything else Nintendo has released this generation, is a watered down shell of it's former self. You'll never see matches like this in Brawl:
This classic moment would also be impossible in brawl:
Why do people always say the newer versions of games require less skill; Counter Strik Source, TF2, Brawl. Are they the ones who don't win at the new games so claim they're rubbish?
A friend of mine is now one of the best competative Peach players in the US, he's not stuck in the past and has always said theres plenty of skill needed for Brawl .
Wasn't Galaxy tougher than its predecessors too? Just I 100%ed 64 and Sunshine but I find Galaxy a lot tougher.
I still haven't 100%ed 64 or Sunshine, but Galaxy I have. I think that's just because I got the game when it was new. The others were not quite the center of my gaming focus when I got them. That and getting those dreadful 100 coin stars in Sunshine is awful. >_> And the hazy maze cave.... I have nightmares.
Brawl is the only new-gen iteration of a Nintendo IP that I was not satisfied with.
I think I've exhausted both Melee and Brawl. I'd like to play Brawl some more with friends, have some really epic fights. Brawl creates that mood really well. It's a shame that (at least when I played) some of the best tactics are a little cowardly. I got tired of fighting Pit online really quickly. If the projectiles in Brawl were just a liiiittle less effective...
Otherwise I like all the changes they made, and the character list is fantastic. I just don't want to play either game single-player again, the only fun in that is unlocking stuff, though the higher level CPU's in Brawl put up a decent enough fight.
Like just about any fighting game, multiplayer is a blast. It always will be. Soul Caliber 2 is HILARIOUS with a group of friends, winner stays on.
