Woah woah, I was pretty much out the whole day but seems like I didn't miss too much. ; w ;
Seeing a bit of talk about this game and how people want to drop it and such makes me a bit sad. Honestly, it's true for me that I do like Brawl more than Sm4sh, but I'm pretty happy that this game is so new player friendly. Playing random free for all battles with friends today are fun because of all the unpredictability that can arise. Nobody will be a clear winner, and random silly jank stuff can just happen to you, and you get a good laugh about it. Add in custom moves and everyone is literally lost. Thinking it back as a casual friend game, this is most definitely the best of the Smash series.
I wouldn't mind doing random free for all matches with the gorls just to unwind from the seriousness that is competitive fighting because really, sometimes it's better to approach a game with positivity. Constantly berating the game will make your perform worse I find. Just letting loose and having fun might make y'all look at the game differently. And if you still don't find the game worth investing competitively, fair enough, but at least go all ham and have fun playing it casually with others. Because I do find the game rewarding to play in both sides. The most important part of games is to have fun, after all.
tl;dr play the game that gives you the most enjoyment tbh yeye
