I have played brawl before, and I have it (and melee), but I think I like Melee more... What do you guys like more? And for what reasons? And let me guess... The majority of votes will be "Brawl. The graphics." But I think Melee has better gameplay. I main Samus, and trust me, shes way better in Melee. So, what do you think? Sorry if this topic has been thought of before...

I had more fun in melee, but that's bacause brawl is the same game with few thigns added, I hope there isn't another smash bros, or if there is I hope the gameplay will be totally different.

Yeah, but Brawl is a lot different. A lot of the new characters are broken, and some of the old ones suck now. (aka Samus. I still main her on Brawl, either way.)

Not that I disagree with that opinion, I have some things to point out.

The stage creator is lacking; You cant make very good stages with it.

The new characters aren't necessary; Most are broken, or just over powered.

Online play freezes due to people with horrible internet connection, happens all the time.

I played melee - dominated

Left it then played again - sucked

got brawl - got epic again

played melee - dominated with my newfound brawl skills

So overall..I like brawl more..Obvious graphics , online , characters - AND AND AND SPECIALS OMFGBBQ

I hate how in melee that I had to rely mainly on my crappy moves to win while I have a chance in brawl with better moves and such to land a special attack that can help me win.

YOu can basically make everything you want, it will just not look as good as real ones.

Yes they are, we needed more characters, and who are these new chars ou call broken ?

Better than no online.

Yeah, I think Brawl is better then Melee but the online sucks when theres one person who has a shitty connection thus making me and everyone else lag.

I have to "Play with Anyone" as I have no Brawl friends.. T-T

Go to 10 sites with a game section and post your FC and ask for someone to play with you..

You'll get an easy 30 people.

Well, yeah, I guess. But I still think they rushed the stage editor, they should of worked more on Sonic, Snake shouldn't be as powerful.... Pit shouldn't even be in there... And some other things. Also, if you are lucky, while throwing out Waddle Dee's with King Dedede you can get items. Once I saw someone get 3 dragoon pieces with it, when no items were on. Online should have a lobby or something, so you know whats going on. Takes about 20 minutes to get a match without going to a SSBB website chatroom.

Incorrect..

From a crappy game liuke kid Icarus you would think that Pit wasnt all that special..They created a WHOLE NEW DESIGN for Pit..Everything about him was changed...

I hate him deeply but he is completely unique.

There are no Pit games for the Wii though. Pit was created to advertise a new Pit game for the Wii, but it was dropped. The "design" was made before SSBB. And Pit is a spammer...

Well if anyone watched the tutorial video in mele it introduces "spikes" HItting some one who's recovering straight down to their doom. But in mele it's almost impossible for most people because of the high gravity. In brawl it's a spike fest. I can't think of anything that's more satisfying ( in video games) than throwing some1 off the edge then immidietly kicking him straight down with ganondorf's electrical kick. SO basically i like physics better in brawl.

In brawl you fall incredibly slow. And everything is extremely slow pace.

I think I like it better that way actually.

Slowing down the game isn't necessarily a bad thing, it helps some of the characters.

And what do you mean by "broken characters"? If you knew what pro melee was it was pretty much all fox and falco. Not much better than say... MK and Snake.

So, here's my vote:

Brawl for...

-graphics
-gameplay
-more characters
-more stages
-stage builder
-online play
-long campaign (SSE. dull, but better than the adventure mode in melee)
-Boss battles, co-op target test and home-run contest.
-being able to save replays and taking snapshots whenever
-better special brawl

TL;DR- Brawl.

Brawl, not for the graphics, but for Zero Suit Samus, whom I main.

Though Melee is better for the characters who are broken/nerfed in Brawl.

I prefer Melee. The graphics aren't as flashy, but there is much more strategy involves. The physics are also slightly better in my opinion.

I don't own Melee, but I think they should've kept some Melee stuff in Brawl.

- Giga Bowser Boss
- Event where you can fight Master and Crazy Hand without going through story mode

Those are all I can think of right now. On the topic of the Stage Builder I too think they rushed it a bit. There's not enough pieces to work with. I expected more from the stage builder when I bought the game.

THERE IS NO MORE TO SAY.

No he got some spam attack but he is fairly easy to defeat, and snake's smashes are clunky and got delays.

I got brawl the year it came out and loved it for all these years and became amazing, then when brawl came out it took some getting use to but I still dominate in it and I like brawl more because it is almost the exact same game but with online,more characters, more stages, story

I don't know why you guys all have trouble with the internet because when I play brawl the internet is usually fine for every one I am facing and works pretty fast, however, alot of people online suck at brawl.

The only one I would possibly refer to as "broken" would be MetaKnight. Pretty much all his moves are too powerful for its speed (in my eyes anyway), and he as huge priority over most attacks, multiple jumps, and a recovery that puts him into a glide... his only downfall would be that he's quite light.

I really enjoyed Melee, I'm yet to play brawl but my friend told me that its 'floaty' - that players take time to fall.
In fighting games I'd prefer to have it moving fast so Melee anyday, though I am yet to play Brawl... it'd have more options to unlocks and as such... thats where it would better it for me.

Brawl. After playing it for so long and going back to Melee (erasing all data as tradition), I found the game to be unplayable. Being immobilized after so many different actions, incredibly bad recovery, Gravity is twice as fast to the point of being unfair and unrealistic, weapons like the hammer and bat are way too dangerous as well as attacks such as a longer ranged falcon punch, and four characters in a match is very unplayable as they literally find any possible chance to gang up on you, whether it's teams or not (you can literally go from 0 to 80% damage in five seconds against three computers, which is why this game deserves the title of "Melee" which usually simulates one on one matches, where Brawl means more than two fighters).

Melee may be really great because of nostalgic effect for a bit, but it makes you want to turn the damn game off after so much frustration. In short, it was good for its time, but this is probably one of the few cases in gaming where you must upgrade to the newer installment, or get the oldest and work your way up.

Brawl is the greatest game ever made on so many levels.

The only one that was was Mario. Samus kicks more ass in Brawl (she was one of my best).
