what the hell did this guy above just write??
anyways, i went back to melee yesterday, and i was still able to do everything except my mind couldnt process how fast falcon was. i was trying to do combos but my fingers wouldnt let me do them. i was still good tho. brawl sucks. even scar says it.
I don't think it sucks, but the gameplay is definitely not as good. The stages, music, and extras kill Melee though. Seriously there are only a few Melee stages that I really enjoy playing on, but in Brawl there are a bunch that I really like.
Melee:
Jungle Japes (Dair for the win. That alone makes this level a blast for me)
Final Destination (great size, great KO frame, great EDGES (screw Brawl FD edges), great stage)
Mute City (fun stage and great music)
Corneria (love the size and the wall)
Dreamland 64 (arguably the best stage ever. Would be flat out the best if not for the wind)
Fourside
Brinstar
Other than that the rest of the stages are either ok or really bad (Mushroom Kingdoms both being absolutely terrible).
Brawl:
Battlefield
Final Destination (except the edges but they're not a problem if you don't screw up)
Yoshi's Island
Pirate Ship
Delfino Plaza
Norfair
Frigate Orpheon
Green Hill Zone
Port Town
Bridge of Eldin
Summit (is that the right name?)
Castle Siege
Lylat Cruise
Smashville
Halberd
Mario Circuit
That's a crap load of great stages. Stuff like that keeps the game fresh and fun. Melee got stale during extended playtime because it was always the same stages over and over. With Brawl you can play a lot longer without getting stage bored.
I know that the game revolves around the gameplay but I really find the stages to be a huge plus in Brawl. Melee overall > Brawl overall though definitely.
