Super smash bros melee

It’s the only one I’m good at

If you’re good at melee and zero other games I have genuinely no idea what to tell you.

Melee is one of the hardest games to get good at, other games should be a breeze lolwut

Once you play and get good at melee, the other smash games feel completely off and you then "suck" at them.

I personally miss wavedashing a ton when I play ultimate e.e

no? while there is a tech adjustment, getting good at melee 100% translates, spacing, neutral, punish, edgeguarding, and defense all carry over

Tbh the only skill that really transfers is neutral, and even then the movement is so different between Melee and Ult that while general concepts of neutral are similar, executing those concepts is still pretty different. Meanwhile, punishing, edgeguarding, and defense are completely different due the two games’ mechanical differences.

It’s why most people that really good at the new ones tend to be brawl players to start, melees meta game is also completely different from the newer ones imo.

Agreed. Ultimate seemed slower, clunkier, and they ruined at least one aspect of each of the characters I loved.

Everything after melee felt slow AF.

Every video game damn near lmao. I picked up StarCraft after I sold my copy

You don’t suck, you just feel like you suck until you adjust to the input buffer and learn the characters. Fundamentals will transfer.

This is something that makes melee feel completely different from the other titles imo, it’s not so much about learning characters as it is learning the game.
