==Stance on ''Smash'' games to play== | ==Stance on ''Smash'' games to play== | ||
I've had varying thoughts of each of the main games and how they all play differently. I suppose that, starting from ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 64'' (to a lesser extent), I was more interested in the slower pace that both games had because the approach was more methodical than execution-heavy. It certainly had me against ''Melee'' for a while, but I eased into it after seeing a couple of matches and wanting to get better with my own setup at home. After spending nearly two years of playing ''Melee'', however, I find myself averse to destroying my hands practicing a nearly non-viable character (Captain Falcon), and trying to do that for better characters would simply eat up too much of my time. I've also had this torn relationship with ''Melee'' because the more I played it, the more that it felt so rushed compared to any other main ''Smash'' game and many, '''many''' things in the game suggest that ([[Pokémon Stadium]]'s weird pass through glitches, {{SSBM|Luigi}}'s [[ceiling glitch]], {{SSBM|Peach}}'s down smash not being a constant hitbox, some of {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s aerials not being [[L-cancel]]lable, {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}}'s [[Reflector]] being jump cancellable at any time '''except''' after reflecting projectiles, even the little things like Captain Falcon's up aerial not having a late hitbox, among many other things).

Thus, I feel that ''Smash 4'' is the game for me, as it is a more complete game, is objectively better (with, in my opinion, a much better ratio of viable characters to the size of the roster, as well as a lower execution requirement, at least for starting out) and is far more accessible than ''Melee'' (lugging around CRTs, playing with a disc and console that are no longer in production; controllers die constantly, too). I have nothing against ''Melee'' players, but ''Melee''{{'}}s flaws are undeniably worse than those of ''Smash 4''. | ||
