Melee had stupid wavedashing. You just wish you could wavedash in brawl, and have sonic be the cheapest thing in the game. (you wasted my time, melee/sonic fanboy!)

Wow. Good job. You have pointed out the best aspects of the game, but are too blind to see their true purpose. The balance in Brawl is much better than it was in Melee. In fact, Jigglypuff is one of the best characters in the game if you do it right (Jigglypuff does much better with aerial moves, and Sing + Rest is as close to instant kill as a Home-Run Bat). The Challenges, or “achievements” as you call them, are for those who obsess over the meta-game. The Items are changed because they were too weak. The lack of dialogue (learn to spell) is an artistic element, in that they really don’t need speech to convey a story. Also most of the characters in the game don’t talk in their own series, so it’s highly unlikely they’ll do it under anyone else’s supervision. Playing the levels multiple times is an important part of the storyline, and even though you’re not really playing the same levels, it’s not even required that you do it. As for Tabuu, the final boss, of course he’s harder! He’s the final boss! Do you expect him to act like a marshmallow?And if you learn how to shield (which is a very basic element of the game) he’s a pushover! And you’re right. Sonic only has 4 moves… LIKE EVERY OTHER CHARACTER. Luigi for example: U(Moon Jump) N(Fireball) S(Green Missile) D(Green Hurricane). Jigglypuff: U(Sing) N(Rollout) S(Pound) D(Rest). And Sonic: U(Spring) N(Homing Attack) S(Spin Attack) D(Spin Dash). Lucas came into the story in a way that follows the plot of Mother 3, so it’s accurate enough for a crossover game. And Snake could have easily been sent in by FOXHOUND the same way he infiltrated the base on Shadow Moses Island, it’s perfectly logical that he hadn’t been there anymore than an hour. And Tabuu, like Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Duon, and Galleom, are all part of the Subspace faction which is completely original to Brawl. If you played the slightest bit of attention, you’d find that Ganondorf, under the command of Master Hand, was having Bowser and Wario “trophicate” the Brawlers so that they can’t fight back against the R.O.B. Squad as they were setting up the Subspace Bombs. It is later revealed that Master Hand is under Tabuu’s control, and upon release, Master Hand immediately tries to strike back at him. Tabuu overpowers Master Hand, about which time the Brawlers arrive. Tabuu doesn’t like that those whom he saw as his possessions were trying to fight back, so he used the power he gained from massive Subspace portals all over to trophicate them all. Dedede, Luigi, Peach and Kirby are revived by Dedede’s Timer Badges, and they go to find the other Brawlers in the Great Maze. When they challenge Tabuu again, he attempts his power wave, but Sonic out-speeds him and shatters his wings, weakening him. After the epic battle, Tabuu is defeated and the Subspace is destroyed. End of story. As for Sakurai, it takes all of five minutes to do a blog post. That’s less than 1% of his day. And he’s not even the one doing the posts. His job was to do Melee better, and he succeeded. And if you can’t see that, just sell your consoles and watch MTV and VH1 because you obviously can’t find good entertainment when it’s that giant obvious thing in front of your face.

Man, I couldn’t disagree more to what u said. I mean, Melee was a great game, I played a whole year of my life, even don’t having the game. But Brawl surpassed Melee on several ways.

About the character, I think if u train a little more you will learn to play and win battles with all of them.

The last championship I went I’ve got the second place with Pikachu (my best character since the fist smash bros.), and my brother got the fourth placeusing the Capitan Falcon. It’s just about practincing =)

you don’t like peach, captain falcon and jigglypuff? xD, jesus man, those are ones of the best players in the game, you just need to learn how to use them, jiggly-fucking-puff is a kickass if you know how to use it.

Anyway, just my opinion (and my favorite players as well)

I strongly disagree, every character is even if you know how to use them well, the story was way better than adventure mode in melee you have to admit.
In most reviews i’ve seen, brawl is a perfect 10, also melee is not

so say what you want to say, but I think brawl had greater adjustments and abilities than melee.
