Can someone explain this to me? I think that brawl does everything better than melee, except that classic mode has an order this time around and same target smashes for every character. I just tried playing melee and i just couldn't play it. It felt so much more outdated than brawl and unbearably fast. Only reason why people think that melee is better is because they spent 7 years with that game and with the amount of hype that brawl received, there was no way in hell that brawl could possibly live up to the memories that melee had given. So, what exactly make melee better than brawl?

Well guess what, people have opinions. I found Brawl to be better than Melee but some people think the opposite. Why would you let their opinion hinder your enjoyment of the game?

Brawl has improved in many ways except gamplay.

But I still find Brawl the better game.

The Adventure mode is worse,the Event Mode is worse,Target Attack took a step back without individual stages per character,the balance is worse,the pacing isn't fast or competitive as Melee's,there isn't as much tactical depth in the gameplay (but they managed to include annoying things like tripping),the stages aren't as good and only get in the way with their gimmicks,and the entire game felt like less actual "game" and just more "fan service." This is all from my experience,of course.

Brawl is a shallower game and takes less skill. If you never really learned the depths of melee then Brawl is good and you won't miss what you are ignorant of.

Melee was more fluid, polished. every mode was a gen, not like in brawl, its like... melee was an amazing sandcastle with alot of little details to perfection, but melee is a tall pile of sand. granted its taller, but its lacking. brawl has alot of features, but no single one of them is especially good. in melee everything was good, and suprising, and challenging, and fun

Melee is much more competitive than Brawl. Brawl is a shallow, imbalanced mess. At least the character balance in Melee is offset by skill.

yeah, melee was better, and in a way, i was pissed of that i bought brawl for $50. they didnt change a single thing in the gameplay, how is it an entirely new game if the gameplay is the exact same? seems like more of an expansion to me, worth $30.

All personal opinion.

I liked Brawl a little more. The only things in Brawl I was disappointed by was the target mode, online, and the character roster (wasn't bad, but expected much more from it).

Nor will I ever understand.

Then again, I guess Brawl was created for a more "pick up and play by everyone" purpose.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Personally, I think they're both good games.

I swear people bait me with these kinds of topics. :P ...and the topic title makes me laugh a bit. It's like you're saying "I will never understand how people can have a different opinion than me" I prefer Melee because it is more balanced, it has more depth (it may not be a lot of depth, but it's more than Brawl), it's faster paced, combos actually exist, the tech skill is better, the better player always wins in Melee unlike Brawl, and Melee had Mewtwo. :D

Many people spent a lot of time with Melee, and then got alot memories from the time they played it, etc. Personally i prefer Brawl (Just wished they had kept Mewtwo and Pichu...)It just much bigger and better game. I think when the next SSB games out in the future, many then will prefer Brawl just like the folks now who prefer Melee...

I like brawl better. Although I enjoyed the target mode in melee. The new moves, characters and the stage builder effect in brawl added something new and exciting to do.

*Sigh* I should just save this post I use it so many times. -_-

They're really both good games and I don't really have a preference. Although since everyone plays Brawl now that would be the only one I can play people in so I would prefer it but I find Melee to be the overall better game. Here's a copy of what I said in another topic:

It's hard to say, Brawl has much more content then Melee by far, but Brawl also has much more problems then Melee which has little to criticize. Melee gets far less complaints then Brawl and is the installment that made the series so popular and will probably be the only installment to be the best selling game on its respective console.

Melee was harder, Melee's break the targets and home run contest modes were better IMO, It had the trophy, Adventure Mode, and Event Matches thing first, and also had the alternate music on a stage thing which we all know became huge in Brawl.

Basically, every mode in Brawl is an expansion from Melee except for the Stage Builder, Smash Ball (Final Smashes were unbalanced), and Online (which is terrible) so I have to go with Melee for being more innovative for its time and also for perfecting its new additions better then Brawl did.

I'm glad Brawl slowed the gameplay down alittle. I thought Melee was way too fast paced for its own good. Also, the 1P adventure mode for Melee was very short.

I will admit that Melee had a much better better break-the-targets, though.

I like to think that Brawl just doesn't have that same "feeling" as it's Precusors. I used to play the heck out of Melee and the 64 one, and Brawl does not have it. It's still a good game that I play as much as the others.

They also took out some characters, Items and stages too.
