I realize that Brawl isn't supposed to be "Melee 2.0", but if it's the sequel to the game, I sort of expect it to be better or just as good as the last game.

The game is slowwww. Floatyness, heavierness, easy ledge grabbing, promotion of camping, promotion of defensive play, lack of combos except for god damn chaingrabs.
It's also silly how nontechnical this game is. You can play the game with one hand easily, and that's saying something.

The slowness of the game just lowers the fun.

also tripping WHOOPS I JUST TRIPPED INTO IKE'S F-SMASH AT 60% BLARGH I'M DEAD

FUCK TRIPPING BLARGHBLARGHBLARGH

I kind of agree, I wish I could connect to the internet on my gamecube (and others could too) so we could play THAT instead. >_>
