you know when sakurai says, "Wow, I hate to say it, but we really have thought of everything."?
This statement just confirms that this game will be the ultimate smash game and we got nothing to worry about. Sakurai has been making smash games for a long time now and as bad as you say the updates are will not affect the overall awesome-ness of the game.
I personally thought this update was sweet and I am actually really, really grateful that they delayed the game. I remeber in a previous update, a long time ago they said that they might not be able to implement this feature. This is probably because of the release date coming up fast (the original release date) but now that they delayed it, they can now implement this awesome lttle features that wil just give the lustre that will make brawl the best game ever.
In conclusion: Sakurai is a genius; this guy knows what is best.
