sorry i know that you guys hate hearing about melee stuff but this is so dumb

okay, so it's fucked enough that nintendo won't let people stream the biggest melee tournament of all time (almost 700 entrants wtf), but it's even more fucked that melee fans raised fucking $93,000 to get melee in evo in the first place. the very people who paid money (to breast cancer. so selfless) so they could see the most legendary matches of all time go down won't get to see them unless they are attendants
nintendo fucking sucks jesus dude akudood;
i just saw this, it's quite shitty
still look forward to watching evo this weekend though
yeah because the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Evo is Super Smash Bros........
keep ur kiddy game at home betch

well melee is the only game that isn't being streamed at evo so it's only relevant to melee
and it is the only game at evo that i care about
[spoiler]also it's the best competitive fighter on the market unless you count project m but that could still be debated lol[/spoiler]

lol cool
yeah lol
Way to be a Microsoft Nintendo
Best competetive fighter? What fighting games have you played? Smash and.... smash?
Too late i guess. Its just a game. A great one for sure, but geez, not THAT amazing.
Besides, if he really likes it that much, should it really matter what i say?
im really just asking what other fighting games hes played. And why he thinks smash is the best.
Im not calling him an idiot for thinking that or anything. But its the internet, so the snarkiness came out on its own.
Exactly. My bad

no, but fighting game arguments are never good [spoiler]they usually just get to the point both people are yelling "No YOU'RE a faggot!" or something stupid[/spoiler]
omg no u

No YOU'RE a faggot!
o-okay ;__________________________________;
UPDATE - Nintendo has reversed its initial decision, allowing the streaming to take place.

actually the only fighter that i've ever gotten into is smash, so i'm pretty damn biased, but i've tried to get into others without prevail
and i'm actually interested in other fighters since there is obvious an appeal for a lot of people
but idk the analogy that i like a lot is that melee (or smash in general i guess) is like the Jazz when normal fighters are more like Classical music. Other fighters have pre-made combos and even though there is more to it than just combos, they're a huge part of it. most combos that you see in smash are improvised. they depend on reads, percentage, and directional influence from the person being comboed. i'm not saying that traditional fighters don't take any less skill to be good at than smash, i just think that the combo system that goes into melee is fucking amazing and i cant imagine a better one
also, every element about competitive melee that isn't present in normal fighters is such a great mechanic imo. the edge play is fucking awesome. rewarding high risk maneuvers like going off stage for an edge guard is a great system. or you can play it safe and give them a better chance of recovering
also, platforms are awesome and add to the improvisational nature of the game
and something that rarely gets brought up is how amazing competitive 2v2 is in melee (team attack on, of course). team-based (improvisational) combos, having to watch out for 3 people (including your team mate, lol), and the crazy increase in mindgames is something that is pretty unique to smash imo
but honestly i would be really interested to hear why people prefer traditional fighters because i'm pretty biased
EDIT: also, i would argue that melee/P:M has much more character diversity than other fighters, but that could probably be argued. look at fox and marth. both have such drastically different playstyles (fox is technical as hell, hella fast, etc, marth is hella mobile, has amazing punish and spacing) yet they both consistently place high in tourny. Look at the results for Apex 2013 (http://www.smashboards.com/threads/official-apex-2013-results-thread-jan-11-13-2013-new-brunswick-nj.332658/) there are 8 different characters that placed in the top 8 (9 if you look to top 10 because somehow axe mastered pika lol) and all of those characters play so differently and have such drastically different movesets and options it's crazy
@MIB yeah we know that lol
jazz is just medie val music played faster

........fair enough
Also, just to add on, because of it's improvisational nature, people are able to fucking crazy things like in these vids:

(skip to like 1:30 for actual matches since a lot of the spacie tech doesn't really make sense if you don't play)

smash is children's party game
