Melee vs. Brawl screenshot comparison

Just in time for tonight’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl update, we have a video comparing stills of Melee and Brawl. I didn’t think it’d be worth watching the whole thing and posting, because I own Melee and thought, “OK, it’ll be marginally better. Slightly better character models, cleaner polygon edges, etc.” Right? WRONG.

I don’t ever remember Melee looking so dated and bland. But I guess it took a direct comparison to realize just how bad Melee looks in comparison to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. What I’m worried about is that none of the Brawl videos looked this great over Melee in motion. Will all this work that Sakurai’s team is putting into visuals go unappreciated?

Check out the comparison video below.

    It’s crazy how similar some of those screenshots are, specifically the “Bowser in his shell chasing Pikachu” and “DK carrying Zelda away from Link”.

    Props to the video creator for taking the time to create such authentic replica screenshots to compare to the Brawl stills.

    Hmm, I’m still a fan of the 64 smash. I’d like to see a comparison of all 3 :p

    Also, am I the only one who sees little to know difference on kirby…
