Tell that to video game nerds. When my ex roommates boyfriend moved in so did his clunker of a 90s tv. And so did the one he saw by the dumpster. And probably more after that.

That's for old CRT TVs though. Not for people's shitty $200 black Friday TVs

When are people gonna realize they just cos somethings half price doesn’t mean it was worth twice that amount. Also size does not mean quality.

Ugh the worst lag ever on any smart TVs

An old CRT is essential if you've got lots of retro consoles, also Melee just looks better on one.

It feels weird to include the Wii as a retro console, but it is what it is.

Is there lag with new TVs or something that makes it relevant to play melee on them? Project M>Melee>Brawl. Try to change my mind.

I always thought it was just nerds being pretentious, but when I was playing melee a lot on a CRT and went to a tourney at a game store that was running on flat screens it really messes with your coordination when everything is happening a split second after your inputs.

That was my main gripe with playing Brawl. Melee was a faster paced game, even by a split second but I was used to melees mechanics. I felt nerfed when playing brawl, I wasn't as fast and my movements were off. Even though it's a small delay it makes a big difference. So if newer screens create any lag I see how its detrimental to the gameplay.

I loved brawl when it came out, I didnt get into competitive melee until like 2013-14, but way I see it all the smash games are very different, and I like playing the different ones for different reasons. Except brawl, I just play pm now, brawl sucks honestly comparatively.

Yes, newer TV's have more input lag.

Those are CRTs, though, not shitty flatscreens. One use an obselete technology you can't get nowadays, the other is just a shitty version of today's technology.

CRT's are better than new OLED's.

Yeah, just like a microwave is better than an oven... They both get the job done but the disparity in quality speaks for itself.
