Brawl > Melee

brawl has more balanced gameplay, a much larger roster of characters.  and most importantly, it isn't heavily skewed toward fast lightweight characters as melee was.  i think brawl gets way too much criticism.  for example, metaknight is overpowered, but he's still tame compared to the gameplay imbalances of most fighters.

But I still can't agree with the online ability.some parts from SSBB gave me its addiction,for example,a photo-op,that alone can make a good time spenderSmashbrossive50

agree.  the online is perfunctory.  and i hope they fix that in the next one

Tell that someone who played in the EVO finals... he will point at you while laughing his ass off.

the tripping alone makes it worse than Melee. And what do you mean with gameplay imbalances of most fighters? WTF? Street Fighter 4 is way better balanced than any Smash Bros game. same is true for KoFXIII.

there are many cash in fighters noone cares about that are unbalanced but they really do not count since noone really plays them because they are so badly balanced. Its a wonder that MK9 and Injustice even made it into EVO... well now that i think about it xD Warner Bros sponsored the event... so no wonder they were ther xD because both are no ProGamer material.

competetively its worse....watching people try and play brawl competetively is a bit funny to me.

but i love playing brawl online with randoms....for me the lag is not bad.

if melee had online then i could give you a fairer comparison.

but as is...i have had more fun with brawl.

I had more fun with Brawl than I did with Melee.

I honestly couldn't care less about how the irregular balance between characters ruins it competitively. All I know it's still a great game to play with friends.

yeah i prefered Brawl over Melee ,the real reason the melee fan hate it because their favorite character got nerfed and tripping.

they also complain about not having wavedashing but that was a glitch in the first place and never was ment to be used.

Brawl is better in every way. Alot more content, more collectables, more characters, more stages etc. It's just that alot of people prefer the mechanics of Melee. It has a more competitive nature as opposed to Brawl's streamlined approach.

tripping is more objectively objectionable.  but wavedashing is more consequential.

I also think SSB: Brawl is better.  I don't care for competitive play.  I think the proper way to play SSB is to get a ton of people in a room together and just take turns playing.  It's a blast and just way too fun.  I loved Melee for that reason too, but Brawl was just as good.  It's fun to get people in a room and play and that's all Brawl needs to do for it to be awesome.

Brawl was better for casuals I think, due to the floatier, slower gameplay. Melee was more hardcore and competetive, because of how fast it was. Because of this, I prefer Melee over Brawl any day, unless I feel like playing as Olimar or Diddy.

Unless they make the mechanics in this fourth smash as fast and competetive as Melee's, it sadly won't compare IMO. It makes me wonder why they can't have a turbo setting for Melee fans

I liked Brawl better myself as well.

They said the speed will be between both Melee's and Brawl's to appeal to both crowds.

As much as I love Brawl, Melee will always be my preferred Smash Bros game :). Everything just felt more fast paced, and everyone in the game seemed to pack a punch when it came to attacks.
