Wavedashing is not in Brawl, because the physics of the game is quite different. Air dodging is now based on momentum, which effectively rules out wavedashing as we are used to it.

First off, it is not dumb. It is a very important technique that is necessary if you ever wished to play Melee on a competitive level. I dare anyone to even find a video of a tournament match in which no one wavedashes.
Second, there are many more advanced techniques than wavedashing. It is an extremely simple technique that pros do not even consider advanced whatsoever. The fact that I hear people complaining about it like it is so big, really gives insight as to how little they know about the game.

If you have a question regarding deleted posts, you may kindly PM a staff member.

Prez, I wouldn't know who to PM...

Anyways, you don't need to use wavedashing to win. If the "pros" use them, then they're all the same and are easier to beat.

Anyone with a green mushroom is a mod, a blue mushroom a supermod, and i0n is the Admin.
And no, the pros are not easy to beat. That is why they are the pros. You do not need wavedashing to win, no. But that is obviously because it depends who you are facing. If you've never been out to any tournaments, I would suggest looking into it if you play smash. Or at least looking up videos on youtube.
All competitive players are definitely not the same
Put some research into people like Mew2king, Ken, PC Chris and the like. They are currently some of the worlds finest. You'll see what kind of technical ability is really needed to excel at this game.

Here's a vid that might show you the important of technical ability. These are those pros that are "easier to beat" because they wavedash.
Ken (Was first place for years) vs. M2K (First place now) at MLG
