Current Events > C/D: Melee is only "hard" due to bugs/glitches, not actual design

Is melee considered hard? I always thought brawl was the hardest.

Not counting level 50 amiibos those things were impossible

L-canceling and short hopping aren't glitches. Wavedashing was known but the devs were too stupid to know what it did. Shield dropping is probably a glitch. Fox/falco's shines are glitchfests. Most character specific tech are glitches. Everything else is just abusing game mechanics.

D. Smash isn't hard.

lmao @ people who don't play fighting games arguing over wavedashing tho

Shit's been around since the early 90s in fighting games

ITT you need to play a game exactly as and only as it was intended

God FORBID Blizzard ever makes a platform fighter (and no it wouldn't even be a party game, they'd try to E-Sports it and would suck just as much as Overwatch does compared to other e-sport shooters)

remember when a melee player rage quit a tournament because he couldn't fine a controller with a specific defect that allowed him to cheat?

Yeah wavedashing is a meme. Smashers would explode trying to plink dash or triangle jump

So is the Fighting game community the most toxic of all of them or is that still MOBAs?

A lot of the game's competitiveness is from legitimate mechanics. Wavedashing's probably the only legit major glitch I can think of, and even then that's a simple exploit thanks to air dodging being possible before even leaving the ground after jumping.

Also, let's try not to go down the route of not counting a game because of glitches. The entire concept of combos came about because of a glitch in SF2, and many FG developers keep certain things as actual features when players find things that the devs didn't even know about.

MOBA is still the king and likely will continue to be for a very long time. MOBAs are team based and there is plenty of room to finger point the blame. Fighting games you only have yourself to blame.

Fighting games are arguably the most technical in terms of micromanagement of any genre in competition.
