I agree. It's kind of crazy, really. Playing Melee first is a real boon to Brawl playing. It's kind of like how (WARNING: DRAGON BALL Z REFERENCE) Goku wears weighted clothing; so when he takes it off he's super fast and such. Playing Melee first is like the weighted clothing; it's so much faster it gets your brain working in overdrive, so Brawl is like a walk in the park.
However, after playing Brawl for a long time then switching to Melee isn't a great idea. Unless you take a few hours between games, Melee is so lightning fast it's hard to comprehend.

It's true, but playing Brawl exclusively will.

I can say with 99% certainty that I won't be playing Melee again for a very long time.

Don't you have this backwards? I feel playing Brawl before Melee makes my Melee game faster, more intelligent and with better spacing. I actually tend to prefer it this way now.

If I start playing Melee, why would i stop to play Brawl?

It's not like your brain just forgets the spacing going playing both the same amount of time in the same day... Once you get used to both, your brain memorizes the spacing for each individual smash bros game. Plus you learn to appreciate brawl a bit more as a fun party game (in which it is).
Spacing, timing and pretty much everything else differs greatly between the two games, even if you play the same character in both. Playing one game and then switching to another will make you mess things up.

I tried playing Melee just for lulz the other day. I kept trying to do jab combos on the level 9 computers. And we all know what that ends up like.
I really prefer brawl. Combos are nice and all, but I can do without them in favour of the more defense-oriented jabby jabby drill kick goodness.

mhm, It does mess up timing. But after a while (like, 20 minutes?) it back to what you're used to for the most part.
The fact still remains that contrary to what some people are claiming, it does screw you up (at all).

I tried to play Melee after days of Brawl.
I DIED.

Most of us played Melee for seven years.
Brawl? Like only a bit over a month.
Honestly, it's surprising that the mindset you had in Melee was even affected after playing a bit of Brawl. O_o

I stopped playing Melee for about a year once I heard Brawl was nearing release. That way, I wouldn't be relying on old tricks that wouldn't work in the new game.
So of course my Melee mindset has been effected, since I purposefully forgot about it in order to make way for Brawl. XD
