Macaluso posted:Maybe they finally realized the fighting game where Nintendo characters fight each other is actually a fighting game after all. Smash is there twice, because people cannot let Melee go. No matter what happens to Smash as a franchise, there is a very vocal group of people that will not accept it, because it's "not like Melee". It's like how 3rd Strike, while a fine game, is, in many circles, still more competitive than any other incarnation of the series. People cannot accept change.

Or people just like that sort of play style because of the quirks in the engine, or they don't trust Smash 4 yet because Brawl introduced tripping.

Smash 4 is good and doesn't have tripping, though. I'll concede that melee might still be faster-paced? I don't know, I haven't played melee since like 2006.

tbf Brawl had some dumb changes that made it really unfun for competitive players; had it played like 4, people might've moved on as a whole. As it is, both are at EVO is because they have large, disparate playerbases unlike SFIV and V (which would've had crossover), which means more money.

So if you like something and the people who made it make a new thing, you have to stop enjoying the old thing entirely? People still play Melee because people still enjoy it. Just like Japan still plays SF2. People talk about old games like they're a long-dead relative or something. It's loving videogames, play the videogame you think is fun, Jesus Christ it's not rocket science.

It comes off as odd because there have been several new iterations of the same game with improvements. Kind of like people who still use Windows 95 or something.

Well think of the number of people who still used Windows XP when Vista came out or still used 7 when 8 come out, and would go out of their way to get a system with one of the former instead of the latter.

It's really not that odd because video games are not productivity tools, they're entertainment. And what "improves" on entertainment is pretty subjective. You may as well wonder aloud why anyone would want to watch an old movie when the remake exists.

Dr Cheeto posted:Tripping does seem like bullshit in the context of an event like EVO, though. It's strange to me that Nintendo included nods to a more competitive scene with stuff like omega forms for stages so you don't have to do final destination forever but maintained the random chance of your character falling on their rear end. Tripping is gone in Smash 4.

Brawl and 4 have different features for sure, but people who die hard play Melee wouldn't consider them improvements necessarily.

This is like if the people who still play exclusively Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo were to make a total conversion mod for USF4 that removes supers, ultras, meters, and focus attacks, and then tried to make it an official tournament event while Capcom glowered at them from the VIP booth.

If people wanna play Melee they can if they'd like. Theres plenty of unique glitchy kinda stuff that isnt in the newer games. Pretty sad to see a bunch of posters who couldn't even understand thw highest level of smash play making GBS threads on people who are just trying to play a game thwy enjoy in peace. gently caress off trolls

With FGs especially you can't call every mechanical overhaul progress or an improvement with any degree of objectivity. If people prefer a faster, offense-oriented Smash, why get mad at them for it?

As an aside, SSF2T does have supers.  That said, I'm sure some people who like Melee legitimately cannot handle the idea of playing a Smash Bros game that is not exactly the same as Melee. To say that Melee tournament exists purely because everyone who plays Melee has some kind of mental deficiency is a stupid and needless generalization on the same level as saying that all people who play Smash 4 are consumer whores who buy whatever is put in front of them. Also, for the same reasons as above, it is a stupid and needless generalization to say that people who want to play in a Melee tournament are the same people as those who are furious that the series "did not stagnate", who are the same as those who like Project M, who in turn are the same as people who want Project M to be at official Smash Bros tournaments. In the interest of keeping the conversation friendly, I would propose we refrain from making GBS threads on people for liking something we don't personally care about.

That's fair  I guess what I'm trying to get across is that I think it's weird that it's like a main lineup event at EVO, and not some kinda sideshow. I guess either it still has hella legs or there's a serious drought on contemporary fighting games that people are actually playing.

Hell, it was until 2008 (with one year being the Anniversary Edition I believe), meaning SF2 lasted about 11 years in the "mainstream" tournament scene despite there being a lot of other Street Fighter games after it. And even after that it got two more years through HD Remix, being featured concurrently with SFIV. I think Marvel 2 and Melee are the only other games I've seen last as long as SF2 has in big tournaments. I bet SBO would still be featuring SF2 if it still existed.

The problem with this argument is Brawl mechanically took a lot from Melee and in fact added stuff specifically to spite people who played competitively. It's more like if SFII had all the mechanics you're talking about, and USF took all those out and added a mechanic that made you fall flat on your rear end if you moved back and forth to bait your opponent.
