Accept that it is more likely that SOME characters will have KO and gimp potential, and the others will likely become invalid for competitive use. I'm not emotionally invested, and surely it's too soon to judge, as maybe some new universal mechanics will surface that we don't know about and change the game.... but all the people who say 'we just gotta get better' and 'it won't be like this for long' need to accept the nature and playstyle of the game. So far, every indication is that edgeguarding options are ineffective for most characters. Some have the tools, most do not. Press to evolve this fresh new meta and keep your hopes for the future, but be fully willing to either accept and play or reject and abandon this game provided what we see is what we get. Just like before Brawl came out and so many people were like "We don't know this is going to be the final product guys, it's still the demo and it could change" were the same types of individuals saying the exact same thing about the smash 4 demo. The funny part is that when you say those words, you are effectively saying you're partial to gameplay that isn't represented by the product you've been exposed to, and that you're hoping it changes before release. After release, these same individuals typically conform at all costs trying to sell themselves to love a game for various reasons.
You shouldn't have to sell yourself on the game, either you like it or you don't. I see plenty of people who like Brawl, just maybe not competitively, and plenty of others who do like Brawl competitively. Who gives a ****? These stupid denial comments that pray that the game will suddenly evolve and be different from what it currently is just make me sad. They're all *******. Get with the program, and be ready and willing to accept it provided it turns out to be exactly what it looks like. That being said, a lot of people like playing it regardless of if it turns out to be competitive. I'll probably scrap around in it too just to beat down on my casual homies.
