I don't really get it, but somehow, the screenshots are different from ones in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It isn't the obvious ones, like they aren't the same game, but listen closely. Take a look back at the screenshots and tell me if you agree with this point:
In SSBM, many different franchises are represented, ranging from old school Ice Climbers to itty-bitty Pichu. In my mixed up mind of cashew horses and winking Froot Loops, the characters seem to have a sense of who they are fighting. For example, Donkey Kong vs. Link. Donkey Kong LOOKS like he knows Link IS the heroic figure that everyone loves, and his moves just say "eat this mother****a" . I like how Kirby modestly attacks its foes, and how the Game and Watch shows plentiful bell-ringing joy when it scores. The characters have a motivation, or a look, that says "I don't care how heroic you are, you're gonna get it"
Now, about Brawl. The screenshots are just...there. It looks like a stiff Character X vs. Character Y kind of thing. Not only that, but the inclusion of Final Smashes does nothing but to exemplify and boast the character's power. The moves they use don't show any fighting passion. Maybe it's just because screenshots can't fully capture a game, but still, it needs to have some merit towards the game.
Here are some screens to make you understand it better:
VS.
Please don't flame me for this, I am just trying to express my opinion, and by no means downplay Brawl's wicked awesomeness. It is going to be outrageously fun, and I could be horribly wrong, but I just wanted to give my take so far.
