You know, after reading all the spoilers, and watching some videos.. my love and anticipation for Brawl was becoming impatient.
What with L-Cancelling being deconfirmed, and a lack of new tech's being discovered (about 2 weeks ago) I was sceptical about how this would shape up.

Now my view of Brawl is SO much clearer, I watched some videos of KDJ playing (Thanks Jinx) and scrolled through Adi's compilation of Adv Techs that are continually being discovered.
The Brawl scene is shaping up to be awesome.

I also watched this video:

Of two players I know playing Brawl.

This video made the biggest smile on my face,
The speed! It's fast O:
Squirtle WoP anyone?
Pit arrow ledgestalls!

I couldn't be happier for Brawl right now, personally I think so far, so short after release it's proved so much for us.
Brawl isn't Melee 2.0, it's ****ing Melee shaken up, knee'd, Falcon Punched out a 50 story building through a schoolyard destroying every kid in it's path before it gets Ganon-spiked through the floor and shatters into tiny pieces.


Yeah, I went there

This is the point of view that will keep the game alive.

If it really is good, we have to be positive to drag the Negative Nancys out of their disbelief. xD

I hope you're basking in the awesomeness of that statement.

Brawl is a lot like Melee, except it's Melee on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too.

Anyone know the reference?

There needs to be more threads like this. Wipe out the rants! And get some good gameplay too.

****, Pit can be gimped during his up B. His jumps and gliding should make up for that and then some but it's still annoying.

Nice point OP. Much better than all the ranting from all of the pros on how its nothing like melee competitively.

This is what's probably the 'normal' view of Brawl that most people agree it.

A lot of the posts that say melee was better and usually based on a competitive view, and how Brawl preforms to the mind of someone who's insanely competitive. Even when not (or trying not) to judge it competitively, 6 years of Melee will do that to the point where competitive play is like a 'standard' to some extent.
Even one of the posters ealier said he'd like Brawl much more if he hadn't played Melee first.
Not that Melee owns Brawl by miles, it's just the competitive style of Melee beats Brawl's competitive style, but Brawl's overall fun factor and variety looks like it's amazing. And it is.
