[@Ridlay_]

DACUS is in RoA btw, such a sick mechanic so I’m glad it gets love in places like that or PM as I’ve heard. Also thank you! Brawl wasn’t so bad, was just ruined by Meta Knight, Icies, Tripping, etc. It had issues but it was cool and different.

[@henryreturns1397]

Here a few things about brawl and Meta Knight : - The main reason people played or pick up Meta Knight was because of ICs - ICs countered/neutralize literally the entire cast cuz you only need one grab and it’s chain grab and it lead to stupid stall battles - MK is the only character that counters hard ICs , so eventually people have to pick up MK if they wanna beat ICs - Furthermore more characters can beat MK such as Marth , Falco , ZSS , Olimar , Snake , Pikachu , Diddy Kong and more can go toe to toe with MK. Problem is that all of them get shutdown by ICs. - I would even say Icies was the main problem that lead to Meta Knight popularity.

[@coalgg5902]

Agreed. MK was the effect of the IC's cause.

[@estebangamer636yt2]

Icies are top 2 in Brawl, not surprising.

[@crazycoolkids00]

MK was completely dominant, with ban discussions being centered around him, before people mastered icies. Before icies were a problem. It actually took a while before popo and Nana were meta. I remember reading debates fairly late into brawl's life from people who claimed that icies would never fulfill their potential, because their combos "straddled the line of human capability." I remember being surprised when people broke that barrier and made icies truly cancerous. It was big news. And all this during a time where every character's placement on the tier list was determined by how well they did against Meta Knight. So no, Meta Knight was definitely the main problem. It's just that if he wasn't, icies would be. The game had two major problems. Along with tripping.

I don't know if this is 100% true, but there was speculation that the reason why Snakes up-tilt in brawl was that massive was because he was being designed originally as a big body, like around Ganon size, but something happened that might've caused him to get a smaller body, but they forgot to adjust his hitboxes as a result.

[@namesurname6000]

He's already very close to Ganon size, and that wouldn't explain the up tilt hitbox if he was as big. If he was even bigger, he would look ridiculous. Along with that, none of his other moves have this issue. My best guess is that they were either worried about the move not having a good range so they overcompensated or the original animation had him fully extend his leg out but they changed it because it looked odd.

In brawl some of the best characters to fight meta knight were Marth, Pikachu, and Ice Climbers.

Tbh I think Brawl could be my favorite Smash, not in a competitive way, but artistically and content-wise.

I’d buy the pre order Kirby and buy some games for 3ds and Wii U

Even if you put the Brawl MK in ultimate he’d still be the best character.

brawl was my entry into smash and it was amazing. Granted i'm a casual player but i also like the fighting game aspect of the game. But singleplayer brawl was amazing with subspace emissary, classic mode, all star mode and the boss rush. Of the smash games i've played (brawl, 4, ultimate and tiny bit of melee) I enjoy brawl's item list the most. most of the stuff you had to put in effort to get kills with, smash 4 and ultimate have a lot of 1 hit kill bullshit. I dont know much about melee's item list, but in a game with that much hitstun i can imagine a lot of stuff becoming annoying real quick. admittedly i did finally install mods to brawl, namely brawl+ and it made it so much better. There were combos now, everyone was a bit faster, MK was nerfed. also let's not forget that brawl had an amazing OST.

NGL, I got the game on a midnight release and played all night with my buddies. I immediately noticed how Meta Knight was easy to play, and I picked him up and never put him down.

He's called Meta Knight for a reason

Will prolly go and save the money for when I eventually buy a switch. Also these react videos are really good, I hope we get more !
