So Sakurai literally said "Fuck you, pros. Games are for fun" with Brawl.

Sakurai 10/10 would Smash again.

[UGSArmada]

What I don't understand in Sakurais decision at all is the fact that advanced stuff like "Wavedash/L-cancel" is not common knowledge for the average person playing the game.

The people that wanna play games competitive will search up a community for it or maybe build it up and the player that just wanna play "for fun" (why would competitive players not have fun anyway :P) will play it in their own way.

In games it is not a "right" or "wrong" way of playing. The Smash Brothers series shows that with so many modes the normal outcome is that people will have a preference in what they prefer. Some people play with items, some people do not, and some people like Break the targets the most.

With that said, if people do not wanna use advanced techniques they are, by no means, forced to use them. And the competitive players and the casual gamers will very rarely play against each other, so everyone can play the game EXACTLY like they wanna play it.

The thing is, when you remove stuff intentionally just to make one part of the audience mad, I don't really know what to say. I understand why Sakurai made the game slower (easier to control) and I understand why he made it easier to get back on stage, because this is necessary mechanics to play the game, but advanced techs is not NECESSARY.

It adds depth to the game and a lot of people like it. Most people is not aware of it and did not even notice WD and many other techniques were removed, so with this said, Sakurai, I really do not understand your way of thinking here.

Professional smash player for 10 years but I started of as a casual player in Smash 64 about 6 years before I did enter my first tournament. Melee was my favorite game from the moment I touched it and that was almost 3 years before my first tournament and did realize many of those things did even exist

This comment section is kinda hilarious now. Everyone's complaining about the comment section and what a shit storm it is but all I can find is comments complaining about it.

[IBreiKeL]

Man, as a casual, I LOVED THIS VIDEO! I only played Smash for fun and I never understood how people could be so good at it. Now I respect competitive smash players more, cause I "understand" the mechanics behind it. What I don't understand is the comment section, it made me sick. All I see are competitive players bashing on casuals because they play for fun and casuals hating on competitive players for using "exploits". I mean, really? How can you hate on someone for having fun? How can you hate on someone for being better than you, and working hard to get better? I just don't understand the logic behind these people, it's just sad.

[CRAIGGU]

Despite the fact this is a fighting game, the real fights are within the players outside the game.

[CreepsMcPasta]

Wow! This episode was really technical! 

[vgbootcamp]

If you wanna see more tournament footage you can do so on our channel (A lot of the tournament matches from this video are from our channel)

[EXStephen]

I'm an Intermediate player. Don't play extremely competitive and I don't play really casually. I just do what I normally do.

[SSBMFAITE]

"Let's remove wave dashing but also add in tripping."

[MrCrazyToad]

All I have to say is that this video taught me that crouch-canceling was a thing.

[WaiGee_]

Can not belive when i first saw this, all this was news for me. Now after getting into comp melee this all is braindead stuff for me.

[Dracomut]

One of the things I love most about Smash Bros: its trying to destroy the barrier between competitive and causal play

[lowkeymokeymokey]

It's funny because Yungtown mentions how characters who have vertical kill potential (Fox), would be good on stages like Fountain of Dreams, however that is Fox's worst stage, and characters who have bad recovery (C. Falcon) would be bad on Dreamland, but that is Falcon's (arguably) best stage.

[GeekCritique]

Hey, I just finished up a Smash Bros. retrospective series on my own channel, so it's good to see DYKG putting out some more in-depth content like this, too. I approve of this style, and I wouldn't mind more videos that cover more than just mere trivia. Presenting technical info like this in an easy-to-digest format would definitely be valuable.

[BingBangPoe]

2:05 actually you can do Smooth Landing in Brawl, but only works for Down Aerials, and it completely negates all the landing lag. You do it by using the C-Stick of the GameCube controller to use the Down Aerial, while holding up with the analog stick. It is mostly know to be done with Ganondorf, which fans dubbed "Thunderstomping", that focus on spamming his infamous Down Aerial on short hops.

[cjcskittlez]

Why doesn't Sakurai realize that it doesn't matter how big the gap gets between competitive and casual players. Mew2King ain't showin up to your nephews birthday party.

[colinies]

FANTASTIC VIDEO! Hope more people understsan tournament play better instead of just assuming that "They are breaking the game it was never intended blah blah blah" Us competitive players arent hurting you so stop complaining that people want to be good at the game.

[JazGalaxy]

When I was a kid, I used to think that I was good at video games. Then I learned that I was good, but I wasn't INSANE, and you will never really be as good as a game as people who are insane. There are always people who's enjoyment of playing games comes not at playing the game well, but at taking it apart and figuring out how to best exploit every feature in order to achieve the best possible success. I don't have that level of insanity.

[KarmaJolt]

I was pretty sure Fountain of Dreams had the second highest ceiling in Melee.

[Batmayne]

I swear the internet is the worst representative of the Smash community, but it's the easiest place to see it. Casual players? Cool. Do you. Have fun. Competitive? Cool. Have fun. Hope you do good. Shitting on other people because they enjoy playing a different way/game than you? Nah. Stop. We're playing the same series of games, we shouldn't have so many sub-communities (including Project M). I personally play competitive but was one of the most casual people for smash for the longest & thought competitive play was cool as hell for any game I played that happened to have a competitive scene.

tl;dr: respect each other pls
