i like smash in general...i dont go around and bash one game just because of its physics.....
In comparison to melee, streetfighter sucks, tekken sucks, soul calibur sucks, guilty gear sucks, marvel vs capcom sucks. Melee simply blows the rest away. I really dont find metaknight or solid snake to be enjoyable to play as or against. Im not too great at either melee or brawl, i can **** the noobs, of course, but the guys at the fests beat me. Its not about winning, its about disinterest in the game as a whole. Granted, if melee didnt exist, brawl would be my favorite game, but i consider melee to be a much better product, so I find no point in playing brawl.
edit: Also, sorry to hear about whatever's going on Sexymaxphoenixghostboozer. Good luck.
