Are you a better Brawl player than you were a Melee/64 player?

Out of all the Melee tricks, I never truly mastered Wavedashing. I could do it, but not in a functional way that was useful in battle. Now that it is gone.... well, I'm not technically any better... but I'm better relative to the game =P

I'm better in Brawl, though I have to say that I won vs my friends much more in Melee than in Brawl. I like the new floatiness of the game. Now I have to see how am I in Online play wich, whatever you say, can improve people. If you have lag, it's better to play offline.

I was much better in Melee by far. Brawl is just far too slow to play, and playing my favorite character is not only a task, but a challenge. Ganondorf... I find more fun to play with now since I DO find it rewarding to win with Ganondorf in this game, but as soon as a win starts striking, there comes the camping and projectile spamming... and the game slows down to levels where I'm far too impatient and run in the line of fire which I tend to do well maybe 40% of the time, everything else is just failure or easy damage. This game to me doesn't require you to think as much as it requires you to be slow. When you're getting your *** kicked, your reactions have to be quick, and timed well, Melee to me allowed me to react much better to certain things, and other aspects of the game allowed more options to approach carefully and not be punished too hard on missed attacks. Practicing techniques and failing them in this game allows your character to take far too much damage over one **** up. My feelings and opinions on it, I'm sure they won't change either. I just have to adjust to this game and play it aas if its brawl and forget that melee ever existed. Overall, I love this game, and hate it. I'm definitely a much better melee player than smash 64, but even then, I'm a much better smash 64 player than brawl.

Right now at least, I can say yes. I've been able to get a new start b/c ATs have developed in brawl as I began to play this new game. If I began to play this game NOW, I'd be much worse later on than I would be if I hadn't started when it began. In other words, I've been introduced to the ATs as they came along, which has helped me to grow as a competitive brawl player overall.

Yes. Back in 64, I just found a special move that I liked and spammed it for the whole match. In Melee, I mostly spammed smash attacks, with the occasional special attack. I had no idea about AT's, except L-Cancelling, but I didn't even know what it was at the time. Now in Brawl, I have a MUCH deeper understanding of Smash-mechanics.

In comparison to other people in Melee I was half decent not amazing, but not bad either.

In Brawl I would say I'm slightly above average. But I mean Brawl all you have to do is pop the game in and you already mastered 1/3rd of the game.
