Theory: The ACTUAL reason why sakurai made the game slower.

[MudkipUniverse]

One day Sakurai played with a professional player.
He got creamed because he sucked at tech skill.
So he made up, on the dot, that Melee was "a little too hard for casual fans to play" and thus Brawl was born.

No, like seriously, what kind of design choice is to intentionally make the game slower? And they thought the skill gap was too much? Here's one thing I have to say: GET BETTER AT THE GAME.

Lets just say that Japanese culture is a bit "out of touch" with the rest of the world.

or he smoked too much pot in the course of 2001-2007 and unconsciously made the game slower since all he saw was slower.

Reality: This isn't the Brawl forum.
