I only said anything because DoH did and I directed it at him more than anything. This is also like the thousandth time he's done that and the first time I've spoken out about it, though it's bothered me from the beginning.
1) Having played both I feel like Brawl is more about your ability to read your opponent than Melee is and I enjoy being able to read and outplay people. It's more about one player's ability to out-think and outplay the other than it is about who has faster hands. I wasn't really big into the competitive Melee scene, but I feel that it's harder, mentally, to be good at Brawl than it is in Melee.
Not to throw everything you said out the window, Infinity, but I must disagree with some of these statements as I've played both Melee and Brawl myself quite extensively. Melee was good to me =)1) Having played both I feel like Brawl is more about your ability to read your opponent than Melee is and I enjoy being able to read and outplay people.

2) On that note, because I feel that way it also feels much, much better to win in Brawl than it does in Melee. The reward is greater for me in Brawl, so I like it a bit more
3) This is going to sound ******** on a competitive level: Brawl has a lot of subtle fun elements to it than Melee did. Like at the last PBT tournament when I was playing against Daimonster in the finals and he counterpicked Pictochat on me. At one point the springs at the sides of the stage spawned and I completely dropped the fight and ran for the spring and started doing Metaknight's downB on it over and over and he yelled "I have no idea what to do!" That **** was fun
4) Metaknight. He's extremely fun to play as and against at a high level. (Yes, I just said I enjoy playing against Metaknight) The Metaknight ditto is fast paced, requires extremely good timing in order to be able to punish properly and makes you play at the best of your game in order to be able to win. Plus he's awesome. Did you know his cape turns into wings? </inside joke>
5) The community. The people I play Brawl with week in and week out are ****ing awesome. It's SO much more fun to play competitive Brawl than it is to play, say, competitive Magic. The Brawl community has a lot of the same people in it, but it also has a lot of people that are only in it because this isn't Melee.
6) It's fun. That's it, I just have more fun playing Brawl than Melee. Melee turns into a math homework after a while, where Brawl is still offering new experiences to me every time I play it.
And bumpers!
except melee came out 7 years ago or so? things move on, new stuff comes out... so either they should adapt to this new game, or just quit and live in the past.
I think you missed the entire point of my post.
They can't live in the past because Brawl has destroyed/tarnished it. It's one thing if Melee was still as strong as it was at the peak and to tell people to go back to the game then, but now the game is almost considered a rarity.
The Amazing Invincible Flying Ike is so unfair! You can attack out of it too! It's like he's MK, only invincible 9/10ths of the time for no good ****ed reason.
I main Ike in Brawl+Hey Zac, have you played hacked Brawl? I'll bet you'd like it. We should play, I was just thinking about how dumb G&W is.

Shadows Fall - Thoughts Without Words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aGQ53jbE4Uk, now that I actually have money let's play a game: The first person (that's not Nate because I already told him) to accurately guess and post a link to a YouTube video for the most played song on my iTunes wins a free trip to CiCi's next time I see them.
Clues:
It's by a band that has a song in the Bonus Tracks section of Guitar Hero 2.
It's the second track on the album it's on. The album cover is mostly green. The song's name has 3 words to it. It's not on the same album as the song from Guitar Hero.
The lead singer has ridiculously long dreads. Like they're down to his knees or something ******** like that.
The song that's in Guitar Hero starts out slow, then bursts into 'blindingly' fast a fast-paced arpeggio with the drums double-basing. (Ha, I put a clue inside of a clue. I'm clever.)
Have fun
