I agree...Melee is one of those games you can play over and over and it never gets old...Brawl on the other hand....It's like Sakurai gave us the middle finger...Like seriously, Brawl was very hyped up back when it was being made, but when it came out, it was a serious letdown....
Examples:
crappy online mode(Even Mario Kart has a better online mode than Brawl's)
MetaKnight( The most broken character ever...nuff said.)
No At's like wavedashing, L canceling Etc...( That's what made Melee so good)
Tripping(URGH. IT WASN'T EVEN NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!
)
That's all I think of off the top of my head...
Its not the advanvanced tactics persay(or whatvr), but how theyre implented into fights making matches fun even to watch its what gives melees characters there unique styles, but in brawl everycharacter feels the same...its clearly designed for simple fun matches or a party game....
its those individual character specific techs that made it unique every character had theyre own strategies and not having l-cancelling is bad enough but the **** floaty engine doesnt even give characters different types of wieght or movement... uhhh its so bad mostly cuz melee is so good.. i think if they kept it with melees engine it would have been perfect.
Ok imagine u have melees cast minus Doc,roy,pichu,mewtwo,
alright now they wanted to add flying ok cool...but they accidently made everycharacter fly Whoops... Ok its easy to picture lucas and lucario just put lucarios moves on Mewtwo and Lucas on Ness..that was easy...
both fairly floaty in melees engine
Ok Metaknight just imagine jigglypuff with metas attacks ok that works well, again floaty but with serious attack skills why the f do u need a tornado that overpowerpowers every attack? ok make it last 1 second
Wolf- alright forget about brawl wolf and make him more like fox and falco...3 space animals nuff said another fast-faller inbetween falco and falcon
Olimar - ok theres nothing to compare him to but hes def. not suposse to be that floaty, make him almost fast-faller ish but not too much grap sides wit pikmin
he really fits well and is unique
Snake - Another new character heavy lots of projectiles not too slow, upsmash slide yay, ok change his dair to sumthing usefull, hes got good tilts like shiek except not used the same,thats cuz all his smashes are nifty tools, hes good in terms of speed with l-cancel...hmmm we might need to change that fair something better to protect him from his vulnerable off stage position. heavy like link
DEDEDE ok big guy, bowser size almost with hammer... bad WD so lets change that downb to counter, ok hes good w/canceling
zamus - indunno just make a shiek esque character with a whip and a gun but also give her shieks bad dash dance uhoh, but like that kind of movement and weight..
ROB - OK his up b is too good, good character very melee esque feeling already, love the projectiles,
IKE - Alright - so new roy, hes bigger and heavyer though, his moves work well with canceling, slow and strong
Diddy - uh pretty fast, but he aint suppose to be floaty... so adjust his moves air and smash to fit a faster character,
sonic - ibdunno hes fast and hard to hit, better control, beter areal smashes, projecyile, he could have a good grab mix up game..
Pit - pretty easy transition, like a small marth with wings, and arrown spam, good recovery...
Alright now forget about wario cuz doesnt go, PT naaa, Toon link i dunno he can stay i gyess
But also bring back doc
Alright slight changes to balance melee cast mostly the bottom Link,kirby,bowser,ness,yoshi,gw get buffed then pal nerfs at top no woble, side b recovery, bigger shield,attact out of up b,egg and shield, tounge wall grab, samus transform, DK revover verticle,bowser speed up fire breth cancel movable,side b grab,Link get good up smash bettrrvaroiws mario, down b better, some other stuff
etc...
Isaac - sword character similar to marth, more horizontal slices, element b moves
megaman - charge b , down b change 2nd gun , side shoot 2nd weapon
ok make online work or try and then bam
just made the real brawl with melees engine and theres so much new crap casual people can barely tell, all the melee are happy except a few that dont like it cuz its to much like melee...well **** those people
