I saw your righteous fury in the Brawl Discussion Noah.
I got your point about spending so long on Melee to have it mean nothing for this game, but think about it. It's a whole new world to figure out how to improve and invent your own techniques for speeding up and increasing skill. Like everyone says, Brawl =/ Melee. If after awhile Brawl still feels awkward and slow then I'd come around and start agreeing with you and the other upset people, but at the very least you should reserve judgement until the game is out/has been played for awhile, right?
You never know.
