Melee - Better than Brawl?

[Geoffrey]

Do you think Melee is better than Brawl? I do, I love the classic game on gamecube much more, but it could just be that I've always preferred an actual controller over the wiimote. Your thoughts?

 

[Hidden308]

Better than Super Smash Bros Brawl? NO way. Not even close.

Melee is more for hardcore gamers and Brawl is more for everyone. Brawl does have a storyline though, and melee doesn't it, therefore Brawl is definitely better

 

[Hidden308]

I've never played melee before. I don't pay attention to many storylines though. Only in games I play a lot.

If you have never played it, how could you say it is better?

And Melee doesn't have a story MODE, while SSBB does- that's the difference there

 

[Hidden308]

Who buys SSBB for the story mode though?

Uh...me! The subspace emissary is the best thing that ever happened to smash bros.

There's a story line in SSBB? What is it?

Joe: How can you say Brawl is better than Melee if you've never played Melee?

I just said- the subspace emissary, where the characters in Brawl have to save the world from being conquered by supspace.

Brawl is superior! Pretty much in every area so yea no contest for me

I like the multiplayer part of melee better, and the maps too. But the story line of brawl, and all the neat features makes it better in my opinion.

Melee is much better from a competitive standpoint, due to features in Brawl which are unpredictable and break the delicate balance that fighting game aficionados always strive for in their games. For example, tripping, which is unpredictable. Then again, SSB has always been more of a "party fighting game" than a traditional fighting game altogether... There exist several mods that tweak the mechanics of Brawl so it plays closer to Melee for this same reason.

If you're not particularly into fighting games, though, Brawl might be the better choice for you, due to the bigger roster, the number of stages, the Story Mode (even if it's quite lacking), and whatnot.

I prefer Brawl over Melee, and Melee over the original actually.
