+Stage Creator
+Online WI-FI
+SSE
+Replays

+35 characters-

-Short 1-player modes
-Limited WI-FI
-Target Test not creative
-Glitches

The 35 character one is a bit of both. Yea, its a lot, but it could have beenb bigger.

Thanks for this thread. It doesn't exactly replicate everything else. I like the idea.

Here we go:

+ Co-op modes (TT, HRC, SSE)
+ New characters (obviously)
+ Improvements made on old characters
+ Wi-Fi capabilities
+ Fantastic new stages

- 35 characters was a big disappointment
- Lack of variety in SSE
- Isaac's assist trophy uses Move... instead of Ragnarok or something more impressive
- L-canceling and Wavedashing should have been left in, even if it would have been Melee 2.0
- Geno did not make the game in ANY form

I'll just say that the thing that I dislike most about this game is Subspace Emissary. Sure, an extended Adventure Mode is cool.. but that's just the thing. This isn't an extended first player mode.. it's an entirely new game! I wanted a bigger, better multi player mode.. which is what the game's all about. I'm sure I'll love Subspace.. but I would've rather had a larger roster.

I love this roster though, it's really amusing. I wish that there was no clone Final Smashes though.. that's supposed to be unique to the character, IMO, and ...wow, three landmasters?!

Well, I can't really officially judge until I've played the game ad nauseum myself, buuut...

+ Subspace Emissary
+ Number of Trophies, Stickers, ATs, etc
+ Stage Builder
+ Music
+ Downloadable Daily Content

- Lacklustre Roster (at least with the Secret Characters)
- Multi-Man, Target, Home-Run Game Modes are just more of the same (rather than new modes, etc)
- Popular/Most-Wanted Characters Getting Little to No Representation
- Poke Ball Pokemon have bad graphics (yeah, I'm running out of ideas)
- Clones Return WORSE THAN before.

In conclusion, the game is overwhelmingly good.

+ New and exciting characters.
+ Good stages.
+ Good music.
+ More balanced characters.
+ Online Play

- Making Lucas and Ness semi-clones.
- SSE being very disappointing with a lousy story.
- Most requested characters are reduced to cameos or bosses.
- Disappointing roster.
- No Camera Mode

Well because I started this thread I should give my take on it huh, well here go's:

+ Smash Balls- Ausome idea, really brings a good element to the game.
+ Stage Builder- Freakin ausome now I can make ANY type of stage I want.
+ Asist Trophys- Great Idea love the fact that you can get more nintendo characters in there without making the full fleshed characters
+ The 35 roster- ya i would have liked to have Krystal and Isaac in there but hey even without them its still a good roster.
+ WIFI - I dont have many friends that play smash, so it is good that i can play against other good players.

- You need friend codes to play a good match one that isnt 2min, 4 players, bunch of lame items.
- The fact that Fox, Falco, and Wolf all have the exact same Final smash.
- The ending of the SSE
- No krystal or Isaac
- mr. game and watch . . . dont like him

Nope this thread is more deep than that buddy . . . the goal of the thread is to let people talk about to good and the bad of brawl. If you dont like the thread dont read it period.

+ Two people can play Wi-Fi on one Wii
+ Expanded single player mode with Co-Op
+ Online capabilties
+ Completely diverse atmosphere, not "cold" like Melee
+ All the other, simpler stuff you can do, e.g., take a picture anytime, selection of different songs per stage

And another + ... Music

- Link's Final Smash... coulda been better
- 2 minute "with anyone", can't change the options
- The crowd. Same noise over and over!
- THREE landmasters
- The delay... curse you Nintendo of Europe!

Your grammar here is pretty confusing.

My List:

+Unique and Original Story Mode
+Fantastic Music
+Unique Characters and Stages
+Good Variety in Modes ie. Stage Builder
+WiFi Gameplay

-SSE Plays similarly to Kirby SuperStar (I've seemed to notice this, not really a bad thing)
-A Few Clones have been implemented
-Not that many Past Stages and NO N64 stages
-Stage Builder seems pretty limited
-WiFi can be laggy at times

I dont havent played it yet so ill probably post another in a week when my friend gets his japanese version.

+ 35 Characters (Technically 39, with like 2 clones?)
+ Wifi Enabled
+ Stage Builder
+ More character balance (My impression?)
+ SSE
+ Share Stages/Videos

- Wifi VERY RESTRICTED, in Random mode there should be options for Stock, Time Length, Items off, 1v1 etc I would have prefered this more than another character, even get rid of game modes like all star target test for this (seriously)
- Wifi random should have taunt text messages atleast!
- Link needed a upgrade not downgrade
- Few other characters needed upgrades like Yoshi, Bowser, Gannon?
- The few clones

+35 characters, most, if not all of them look good
+41 stages, I like alot of 'em
+Snake and Sonic
+Less clones than Melee, and they look better
+Over 300 pieces of music
+The SSE being comparable to Kirby Super Star (Gameplay wise)
+The CGI cutscenes in the SSE
+WiFi
+Great graphics
+Stage creator
+Taking pictures when ever you want (Something I NEEDED in Melee)

-Ganondorf is still a clone
-Falco is still a clone
-The WiFi isn't as good as it could be
-Not enough Kirby stages
-Some dissapointing single player stuff, like the lack luster break the targets and lack of other single player modes

+New characters

+/- New stages, but not many that look appealing
+/- Stage creator is cool, but too limited
+/- Online is cool, but very limited

-They could have had a better selection of characters for the roster (No Isaac? Do we really need Lucas and Ness? Fox, Falco, and Wolf instead of Krystal? No new female characters besides Zamus, who hardly counts?)
-Isaac isn't playable, and all of its consequences (no stage, no other trophies, no stickers, only one song, no items, etc)
-Lame Break the Targets, Board the Platforms is still gone, no Trophy Tussles, and what happened to Race to the Finish?
-No N64 stages (Hyrule and Saffron specifically)
-Could have made characters more unique (3 Landmasters? 2 PK Starstorms? What's the point of Toon Link if he doesn't have any moves from his games, like the deku leaf or skull hammer?)

In that ruined tower, atop a mountain.
1+) 2-Player Story Mode.
2+) Online.
3+) Suped-up Homerun Contest.
4+) Graphics.
5+) Stage Builder.

1-) Online's not that detailed.
2-) Roster doesn't meet expectations. (DON'T FLAME--It's just an opinion)
3-) N/A
4-) N/A
5-) N/A
