Super Smash Bros. 4 in competitive play: Difference between revisions

Although ''Smash 4'' has been more successful competitively than ''Brawl'', it has not come without its own criticisms. A number of former and current ''Brawl'' players have stated their preference for the older title, believing ''Brawl'' to have had greater competitive depth. For example, [[edgehogging]] was removed from ''Smash 4'' in favor of [[ledge trump|ledge trumping]], significantly limiting the power of [[edgeguarding]], which has been a core aspect of previous ''Smash'' games. In addition, in ''Brawl'', many characters could perform techniques such as [[DACUS]] and [[glide toss|glide tossing]], which created enhanced movement options; these techniques were largely removed in ''Smash 4''. In fact, several post-''Ultimate'' tournaments (such as {{Trn|Return to Subspace 2}}, {{Trn|Come to Papa 3}}, {{Trn|Get On My Level 2019}}, Genesis X and {{Trn|Return to Subspace 3}}), have featured ''Brawl'' but not ''Smash 4''.
