I'm really liking Zelda now. It seems like they sped up some of her attacks and just overall made her less awkward to use. The fact that I can uptilt without accidentally jumping is nice too. And of course, brunette Zelda > blonde Zelda :)

I like using Fox now too, since I can actually control him now without killing myself.

I find myself doing the opposite. I used to play Zelda in melee, I enjoy her new buffed move set but I don't know why I am not using her anymore.

I still use some characters from Melee, but I use them more since I find them easier to use now.

PIKA PIKA PIKACHU!

I love him in Brawl, didn't like him at all in Melee which was disappointing cause he was my main in 64. But now I love him again! YAY!

um if you count toon link as young link then toon link...
The characters I wasn't a fan of of before I'm still really not fan of (not that they are bad, just not my playing style/fun for me)

I'm not really a fan of the new Ganondorf though, he was one of my main alts before, but now he just isn't as fun to play as (regardless of his awesome forward tilt)

I always kind of liked Bowser and Zelda, and I played them occasionally out of boredom in Melee, but I never really got serious with either of them. I haven't gotten around to going back to them, what with having so many new characters to figure out and all, but I'm definitely going to give them both another shot one of these days. Zelda in particular is looking really good.

Most of the characters I literally never played continue to not interest me, aside from a mild curiosity I've been developing about Game & Watch.

Marth, i've always completely hated him as a character and fighter, but i sort of enjoy playing him this time around, but i guess it goes with most of the old characters. Everyone feels so fresh and new that it's fun :)

Game and Watch was buffed a lot, but I still don't use him that much. I really don't use any of the melee characters other then Marth.

I started using Peach and Zelda in Brawl..greatly reduced my playtime with Ganondorf and Jigglypuff..

I have no good reasons for these changes but I'm happy I did:embarrass

I use Zelda way more than Sheik and for a good reason. I'm also using Mr. Game & Watch more. Is it just me, or is his Judgement move a lot better?

I'm not really using anyone more, but I am definantly using Marth less. I was a young link main, but who also wasn't a top teir main (you know what i mean when i say that). But now i dont play marth at all. I played him once i first got the game and thought "nice", but i havent played him in a 1v1 or FFA since that first night.

Zelda and Bowser. I tip my hat to the one who've previously mentioned this.

It's amazing for both, since originally they were too slow to work with. Now, because everyone is slower (except maybe Sonic), they've became workable. Awesome :).

I still main Falco, and I playing as Toon Link a lot. But I use DK a lot more than I did in Melee because of his Final Smash. (in Melee I played with him like 10 times)

Kirby, Ness, Zelda, Bowser...

Pretty much every character who sucked in Melee but is as good as everyone else in Brawl. Except Ice Climbers.

I especially enjoy playing Zelda because she's not overshadowed by Sheik anymore.

**Keeps staring at you** Hey!
IDK if this counts but in Melee, I used to hate Samus. I mean HATE! Not only did I hate playing her but I hated fighting her too.

However, in Brawl, I love playing as Zero Suit Samus. She tops Fox and Pit in my main list. I don't even care that her FS sux. I still can't play as Power Suit Samus but I can certainly take her down with ease so I don't hate too much anymore. To some eveything up...

In Melee: Samus = utter hatred
In Brawl: Zamus= complete pwnage (but not Power Suit. She can roll over and die)

Weegee and Link for me. Both are much better than they were in Melee. The game's still fairly new, and I still haven't even really played all the characters enough to be familiar with them, let alone do I feel comfortable enough to go back to playing Melee mains.

I never used in Melee Solid Snake or Pokémon Trainer (AKA Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town). But other from those, I remain very conservative in character usage.

But I really wanted to give Mewtwo a second chance... :(:(:(:mad::mad::mad::flame::flame::flame::uzi::rocket::bigrocket

Luigi was better in Melee. A good Luigi was scary to play against

I use g&w now, they made him alot better. And yes luigi was quite the beast in melee. Ka-master was a god with him. That was a bad video of ka-master though.
