I totally agree with this. Brawl is supposed to have a much different engine than Melee, which was full of glitches (most unintentional). Matt didn’t even want to run the last Melee tournament, but because I was sickly he kind of had to (I would still like to have Melee at the next LAN, but then again we will end up with even more tournaments…). I plan on getting Brawl the day it comes out, as long as Sylva doesn’t completely run out of copies… which it probably will.
Hopefully I’ll have enough time before April to see what is and is not totally unethical in the game, however the game has already been out for 2 weeks in Japan and they’ve already unearthed a bunch of new technicalities in gameplay.
That being said, I really do hope we don’t see a repeat of the last LAN when it comes to arguments about exploiting the game. I’m addressing this because it will be the first time that a Brawl tourney will be held at the LAN and although you will be aiming all your comments and questions at me, please be patient since it is a first for this game.
