Hello fellow Smash Fan
I myself prefer Smash 4.
The N64.. one combo and you're dead if you know what to do
The Melee... 2 fast 4 me. Seriously. The sheer amount of time you need to put into that game if you want to play competitively... god.
Brawl is... strange. The mechanics are so different than in any other Smash games. From tripping, to knockback... heck, even hitstun is so different. I can not really explain it well, but Brawl feels more 'laggy' than the other Smash games.
Smash 4 is the perfect game for a pleb like me. There are few techniques that you should know when playing competitively (like perfect pivoting or landing-cancels for some characters) but way less than in Melee. Also, the pace of the game is less. fast and intense, plebs like me have an easier time to adapt to it. Lastly, I simply like the design of Smash 4 the most, from the graphics to the soundtracks.
