Melee Levels In Brawl

[CrashMan]

uhhh, yeah melee tournies ;)

If the skill of said players is so pronounced then "luck" items should have little to no effect on the outcomes of a match. Thats at least what I have found.

What I think ACTUALLY happened is that, as we know, gamers tend to hold their gaming skill over each other (hence high level characters in WoW wandering in to enemy territory looking for a low leveler to accidentally attack them)

As such, a bunch of GC gamers bought melee and played by themselves for a while. They then got enough controllers/friends to play four player and turned off items becuase they didn't want to get beaten by their friends because of items, but told them it was just better that way (or told them nothing at all)

Melee addicted, as it tended to do and the people continued to play item free. Then these people get injected in to an environment where items are allowed, have no real skill in that arena and get stomped and cry foul play.

Seems more likely than massive losses to less skilled players due to randomly spawning exploding barrels (which, if you know what you are doing, are great weapons)
