i have some suggestions:
- play Melee/Brawl with your favorite characters and do a favorite characters round by either doing activity options such as Super Sudden Death or Stock Fight or Time Fight it.
- play Melee/ Brawl by doing the Subspace Emmisary and pretending to be right in the game. for example, like walking instead of running. or bring a friend and do the Subspace Emmisary together and try to get right in the game by talking such as saying: " Get that Floow Mario! " or something really gay like that.
- play Melee/ Brawl by doing a melee or brawl battle by versing all the characters you don't like. for me, i'd be Toon Link and go against my characters that i don't like such as Ganondorf or Ice Climbers.
- fight without any items at all ( cuz i personally don't like items and find that doing a fight without items seem more like a good ol' fashioned fight. ) it depends on those who play the SSB games but having no items is the way i like to go.
- do a battle were your just one character and have items or no items and verse the same character that you are.
- make a battle were you have all the characters that are from the same series ( like Toon Link, Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. ) or make a team battle or add other things to it and do it in the same battle stage theme.
- take the music off so that you can hear the voices, grunts, punches, kicks, and all those uncomfortable sounds that make Melee/ Brawl Melee/Brawl!
do a battle with characters that are extremely similar to each other such as Samus, Captian Falcon, Fox or other characters that are related to each other. i.e. : sci-fi with sci-fi, fantasy with fantasy etc.
- do a battle were you and others are the bad guys verse the good guys and vice versa from different series. ( Bowser, Ganon, Wolf, and Metaknight/Dedede vs. Link, Mario, Samus, and Donkey Kong. )
- do a 99 minute battle!
- do a 99 stock battle!
- make a stage out of something you like. ( i did a Chevrolet Corvette badge as a Brawl stage as well as the Triforce. )
- do a Pokeball battle!
- do a Lipstick, Beam Sword, Home Run Bat and all the other wacking items in a battle with NO use of the characters special moves what so ever!
- do a battle were there are four swordsman in the game. ( such as Marth, Roy, Metaknight, Toon Link, Link, Young Link. )
- how about a battle of a Femme Fetale!
- or a the princess's!
