Now that I have Smash 4 Wii U, and explored everything it has available, I can now compare between this and my current favorite Smash Bros game, Brawl. These are all my opinions, please don't hate.
Round 1: Characters
Smash Bros. 4 has a lot of characters in it now, I think it said 59 fighters in total? That is AMAZING. But I mainly play as 5 or 10 characters only lol. Out of all the newcomers, my favorites are Pac-Man and Rosalina & Luma. I find Pac-Man to be a fun fighter, but it requires a lot of skills and strageties to be good at him and apparently it's too hard for me. Rosalina is not bad as well. When I first got Smash 4 on 3DS, Rosalina was the second character I selected, I was just so hype to play as her. At first, I confirmed her as one of my mains. Now she's not my main, she's a normal character I would play from time-to-time, but not very often.
Now that doesn't mean Brawl doesn't have a lot of fighters, it still does. Thirty-nine, that is still a lot, same as Smash 4, I mainly play as 5 or 10 fighters. My favorite newcomers from there are Snake and Ice Climbers. The Ice Climbers are really fun, and I love how you can kinda control the other one. I don't really play as Snake, my brother does. A lot. The only reason I like this guy is because he's plain awesome, the Metal Gear Solid series and himself, and he's just so much fun to fight against. Oh look, neither of them are in Smash 4, well that's nice.
Here's the thing that dissapoints me in the new Smash Bros, one thing for the fighters and that is one word to describe this: Nerfed.
Marth, why. You were one of my mains in Brawl. You were so much faster, barely any lag, and could easily make combos. Now look at you, you're a little bit slower, so laggy, and hard to pull combos. Why, what happen to you? ;-; To be honest though, as for his appearances, I like his Brawl design so much more.
Meta Knight. I don't even wanna talk about him. Let me just show you a video and that'll be enough.
(Meta Knight's Japanese voice <3)
I know more characters than Marth and Meta Knight have been nerfed, but these are two of the characters that I mainly play as and...care more for.
So, as a result, Brawl wins the first round!
Also, am I seriously the only one who likes the tripping? I find it hilarious.
Round 2: Stages
Well Sm4sh has more stages obviously, and it pretty much has all of Brawl's stages but 2 or 3. I find the stages to be cool, and it still has my favorite stage and I don't have to pay for it? Perfect. There isn't much to say, because it's so obvious who wins this round.
Smash 4 wins round 2!
Round 3: Final Smashes
There are some Final Smash changes in some characters. Like Luigi's dance replaced with a vacuum, or Kirby's cooking replaced with a gigantic sword. I don't mind Kirby's new Smash, l like it. I miss Luigi's dance however. Lucario went from some bunch of blue stuff falling to um..what's it called again? Mega form? I like it. Better than Brawl's.
So, Smash 4 wins the third round!
Round 4: Stage Builder
We can create stages, now we can draw stages. That's pretty cool, but I'm not very creative at it, so it'll be difficult to make amazing stages besides a circle with lava or a square. It has less items available, that kinda sucks, but oh well.
Brawl however is like minecraft. You can place a block, put a block away. Make an ice block, add spikes, a treadmill. My personal favorite part of Brawl is creating stages.
So, Brawl wins the fourth round!
Final Round: online
Online, the thing I can't live without in most games. It is a tie right now, so let's see who breaks it. In Smash 4, you can now get banned, clearly they're trying to prevent taunt parties with the "can't attack one player" or "can't idle." Which apparently isn't working. Anyway, once you select a character a press start, you're automatically in a stage that you will be in when the match begins. As for practice, you have a nice clone version of the character you're playing as. So let's say Mario. That nice clone will be Mario. At first as you attack it, it will be easy and weak, then the CPU toughens up a little bit, and another Mario appears. You get to fight the 2 Marios until the match begins. You can even request a friend request to someone, that is awesome. I love that feature, even though I still have no friends on it lol. One more thing l forgot to mention, you can't select a stage anymore, online chooses it for you. It can still play on big stages like Temple, Palutena's Temple, even The Great Cave Offensive, but it is rare to happen. There's 2 modes, For Fun and For Glory. In For Glory, it's very popular for its 1v1 feature, there's no items in For Glory, and all the stages are in Omega mode. For Fun is different. For Fun doesn't have 1v1, but its possible if only one player joins your group, items are on, and most stages are available but not in Omega mode.
Brawl online is like a world with no rules. You can do whatever, go wherever without getting into any trouble. Remember those Brawl cyberdaters? Yeah, and remember those players that just stands there and does nothing? Yeah, and finally, remember ganging up on 1 player? Indeed. Did we get in any trouble for that? Nope. Also, we get to select a stage instead of it always on Random. The most common stage is either Final Destination or Temple. Then there's a waiting room with a sandbag for you to fight while waiting for players.
Imma be honest, I like Brawl's, not for Taunt Partying, even though l am one, but I do fight from time to time. You know, what the game is actually for. I like the fact that I get to choose stages, items I want in the match.
Brawl wins the final round!
Smash 4- 2
Brawl- 3
Brawl wins, still my favorite Smash game
The memories are really all that matters. When my brother and I played Brawl, we were total noobs, but it was so much fun and hilarious. We'd roleplay a lot too. Let me share you some memories I remember.
Ike and Marth were brothers
Zelda was dating Ike and Marth (lol)
Kirby and Meta Knight are brothers
Ness and Lucas are brothers
Samus and Snake were dating (I still ship them)
Captain Falcon was Samus' ex
Diddy Kong and Toon Link are close friends
Kirby's dating Jigglypuff
Lucas is obsessed with paper airplanes
Marth loves coffee
A fun memory:
Sister: Zelda
Brother:Ganondorf
Me: Marth
Temple Stage
*Ganon kidnaps Zelda*
Few minutes later
Zelda: *sigh* I'm bored of being here.
Ganondorf: Oh well, while we wait, do you want anything?
Zelda: Well, can I get something from Taco bells? And pepsi?
Ganon: Fine, but you'll have to keep your mouth shut.
Zelda: Okay whatever.
*Ganon leaves to get Tacos and Pepsi*
*Marth finally appears*
Marth: Zelda! Are you alright?
Zelda: Hi Marth, yeah l'm fine.
Marth: Let me get you out of here *tries to attack the invisible cage*
Zelda: Wait! Not yet!
Marth: What? Why?
Zelda:I need my tacos and pepsi.
Marth: What?
Zelda: He said he'll get me some, so after I get my pepsi, and tacos from Taco Bell, then you can rescue me.
Marth: ...
That's all I remember from the scene. This was made when we were younger, now that we're older, I find it hard to roleplay, making roleplay not as fun anymore for us. Hope you enjoyed
