Brawl+ isn't a name I support, first off. Its a new addition to the smash series, a series in which I must note hitstun has been an important element for 2/3 games. Hitstun is awesome. Combos are awesome. Its one way in which, yeah, melee had it right and brawl f***ed it up. The universal ATs in melee are what defined that game, imo, far more than hitstun (which is the hallmark of 64). Those ATs are not in B+. Balanced brawl is a subject that, as a policy, I will not discuss publicly.
Keep in mind that I liked vBrawl MORE than Melee, but I believe melee was the better competitive game. Also... as a member of the wbr I can assure you we do not want to replicate melee. A new edition which combines the best elements of each preceding game, but also is unique and special in its own right... that's the goal.
Nintendo... well, god I hope something could be worked out with them. The piracy infuriates me and sorta makes me understand their actions. Personally I will NEVER abuse homebrew, and I hope some variant of it will allow for B+ hacking without the things which damage nintendo's bottom line.
