About Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Is it really the gameplay people vote for, or just the memory of who they used to play it with? Because the moveset balance was never exactly its strong point, was it?

Why does everyone assume balance is the only thing worth voting for? Some of us just liked playing it together.

some of us really did just want the couch and the shouting, does that count for nothing here?

Oh sure, revolutionary gameplay, groundbreaking (for a party game with a subspace detour nobody asked for).

I still boot this up every single month and it NEVER gets old for me, the hype was real and it still is honestly, people can say what they want
Geraldine_2001
Compared to most fighters from that era, it aged in a strange way, some parts feel ahead, others just clunky.
BossMaster2010
Ahead in some parts sure, groundbreaking apparently just means old with extra steps now.

Overrated compared to the newer entrys, the roster hype carried it more then the actual gameplay ever did.

Fair point, it just keeps getting matched against the same handful of games anyway.

My cousin never touched the roster hype, he just wanted his character in the fight every single time.

Mortal Kombat le gana en combate puro, sin duda.

ah oui parce que comparer un jeu de combat entre potes à Mafia c'est vraiment ce que demandait le débat.

Overrated tu dis, mais overrated par rapport à quoi exactement, à Mortal Kombat ou à Mafia ?
