how about if everyone who thinks brawl wont be as competitive as melee and just be filled with n00bs just stop complaning and enjoy the new stages and characters! you guys sound like the old street fighter players who complain about third strike being too diff, LEARN THE NEW GAME! IF YOU DONT WANT TO THEN DONT PLAY! SIMPLE. it's a new game meaning new players will come into the fold and enjoy what they see as a fun game, i myself never played ssb64 i got into melee and im excited about the new things being introduced in brawl. i love my dr. mario but i want to learn how to play someone else (snake, r.o.b, diddy kong).....just play the game
