I'm playing it at home every day, even a 5min match before work does it. It's just too awesome!
My favorite, Shiek, got nerfed too much. But Pikachu has been buffed! This is one of the greatest improvements imho! Metaknight is my main for now. He's just a badass

.
The stages are great! Small stages, big stages, Melée stages, custom stages, everything is possible! I still have to unlock the "Big Blue" with Cpt. Falcon though

was my fav map in Melée.
I like that grabbing an edge is much easier due to the fact that you can grab edges even if you look the other way. This makes edgeguarding possible even to me!

Just run off the cliff and your char will automatically grab for the edge.
Air fights have become much cooler thanks to Metaknight and Pit. Combos are possible with which you can K.O. your enemy with a short amount of time and a bit of luck.
The items rock! I'm finding stickers everywhere, and soundtracks from time to time. My fav item is the soccer ball. If you hit it strong enough, it will become a really deadly weapon, and you can hit it in many directions.
The Final Smashes are a great addition to the game. Some are inba, but you can avoid many of them [like the landmaster, Metaknight's dimension cape or Pikachu's whatever-it's-called-and-I-don't-know-the-strength-of-it-attack]. Avoiding them makes the game much more interesting. Taking all hopes from your enemies just feels too good *droolz* x)
Soundtrack is great! A liiiiittle bit too much of the SSBB theme everywhere, but that's not that biga deal.
WiFi mode doesn't work for me so far..I'm beating the crap out of the sandback at the loading phase but I just can't connect to anyone.
Altogether, Brawl succesfully overrun Melée to me! It's worth every penny!
And now I have to preorder the USA version..
