Throwing in my two cents before I decide to vanish once more:
Is compromise impossible? Do we have to have Melee 2.0, or something with even more ATs? Is any game that does not have an entire library of esoteric and difficult to master techniques automatically horrible? And don't say you don't want Melee 2.0. Quite a few people who seem to hate Sm4sh seem to want exactly the things that Melee had, but with new characters/stages/items. Physics-wise, the fact that it's better than Brawl doesn't seem to make people happy, they just complain that it's not close enough to Melee's style of combat.
I mean, there are things I want changed too, here and there, but nothing major. Just knowing that it's already faster than Brawl, but not as fast as Melee has me super hyped for this.
And if Sm4sh turns out to be "garbage" or whatnot, won't the competitive community end up making another version of Project M with all of their favorite toys? I mean, people already pretty much say that Sakurai is wrong for telling people what he wanted out of his creation, so why even discuss it? Those who like it will like it, and those who don't will Project M Sm4sh.
Oh wait. Some people feel the need to remind others how terrible the game they're excited for is and how the game that they like is a far better, in-depth, advanced game. MY BAD.
