It is quite obvious that smash 4 uses the same exact engine as brawl. I don't even play or care about melee anymore, but I really wanted smash 4 to be on a new engine. Smash 4 contains my least favorite mechanic from brawl: you can do a running up smash, but when you try to do a running down smash or side smash you get a dash attack. I find this mechanic to be completely nonsensical and annoying and it feels like lazy design. Like for what reason should you only allowed to do running up smashes? It makes absolutely no sense. The other mechanic Smash 4 has from brawl is the running turn around back air, which I think is also a stupid and awkward mechanic. But seriously, the running up smash only mechanic is my least favorite mechanic of brawl and I'm disappointed it's back in smash 4.
