Well, it's a running joke to tell M 2 K to go to the doctor, which should tell you everything.

[up][up]The answer is "a lot". Several major players have had to retire over the years due to intense hand injuries.

It's probably the main reason why I'm glad Wavedashing and L-canceling are gone; not because they're competitive, but because they're hazardous to the player's health.

So, I played some Brawl yesterday, and I remembered why I like it.

It at least is now above 64 in my ranking.

Though tripping is one thing that should not have been put in in the first place.

I also kicked ass with all characters I played except for Wario.

I don't think Sm4sh is as problematic as far as hand issues at least, you don't really need to do a ton of inputs all the time like you do with Melee.

I sometimes watch the guys playing Melee at my local and I look at their controllers and all the inputs they're doing and I immediately go "Yeah, no way I'm playing this."

Well that's good to know. As it is I'm sure the highest level technique I'll be able to pull of is the occasional etching off a landing. Maybe.

Also I was playing For Glory I ran into a guy I thought I'd fought before, about five seconds after I went "Yeah, I think I two stocked you" (Which almost never happens) he SD-d, kinda funny since I usually consider myself the worst Greninja player

There was this one time when I was playing Mario Party 4 with my friends and we had to alternate hitting L and R for one mini-game. I said to them "We sound like Smash Bros Melee tournament players." One of them laughed.

You know what I miss from Melee? The analog function of the shoulder buttons and the larger shield if not fully pressed.

I remember it not making much difference, though- The larger shield had more size but less effectiveness, to the point where either shield was about as good as the other. Then again, it's been ages since I touched Melee.

I sure said that!

#81712: Oct 19th 2015 at 3:38:27 PM

Sounds like an interesting mechanic, but I have a hard enough time doing tilts quickly instead of smashes. So I'm not complaining about shields. That and I never noticed.

#81713: Oct 19th 2015 at 4:54:04 PM

Nah, the shoulder buttons of the GC controller worked quite fine for that, but analog shoulder buttons seems to have dissapeared from Nintendo controllers...

As for tilts/smashes; tilt involves pressing, smashing involves the right analog, or my 3DS suffering.

BlitzTrain Since: Apr, 2014
#81714: Oct 19th 2015 at 5:58:48 PM

I know how to tilt, I just end up smashing instead like, half or a third of the time. Especially if I'm turning around or something. And I'm on 3DS so there's no setting to help me git gud tongue

Well, at least it isn't a sideways Wiimote.

True! I was trying to forget that was a thing... I had my GC controllers still so I never even tried wii-mote or nunchuk for smashing.

Back in Brawl, my brother played exclusively with Wiimote and nunchuk, and never played as anyone other than Ike. In the rare moments I can get him to play Sm4sh, this has remained constant.

Hey! Sideways Wiimote controls are a real life saver when you have a bunch of people over.

Fair enough. But I literally have not had a friend over in at least a year. They all moved away tongue

EDIT: Anyway, since there is a good chance I was just too lazy to learn something new... how many people here preferred to use Wii-mot or nunchuk?

My housemate and his girlfriend both play with sideways remotes. They are not bad players, yet they cannot quite get the difference between tilts and smashes, specially up tilts.

I used wiimote + nunchuck back in my Brawl days. The Gamecube controller just didn't feel right to me back then.

It still doesn't, actually. I don't use it a whole lot unless rule of passing lands it in my hands. For Sm4sh, my preference moved on from the wiimotechuck... and onto the gamepad.

I used to use nunchuk controls, but switched to gamecube near the end of brawl's days.

And I'm glad i made the switch, too. tongue

Back in the earlier days of Brawl, I used the GC Controller exclusively. When I got my second Wii thanks to my first Wii not being able to play discs anymore, I used the Wiimote on its side. Now, I use Classic Controller while friends use Wiimote + Nunchuck.

Smash Wii U used to be gamepad only for me until I got the GC controller adapter.

I used Wiimote+nunchuck for all of Brawl because I never owned a Game Cube and only finally got it with my Smash Wii U bundle.

I used the GC controller for all of Melee, Brawl, and now Wii U. Any other controller would be unacceptable to me.
