I like Brawl and I put in the most hours into it compared to other games this gen. I haven't played it in almost a year but that's mainly becuase I have a backlog of games.
In all honesty, I prefer Brawl over Melee. The online play may suck due to it being laggy as all hell, but still is a frantically fun game. And I don't agree to it being the worst SSB, to be honest, that belongs to the N64 game.nintendoboy16
I feel the same way. The N64 game has the least amount of characters, stages, and content in general by far, but its still fun. Brawl is probably my favorite in the series. Its just so full of content and is definitely more balanced than Melee as well. Not to say the balance is perfect, cuz it isnt, but its not bad.

Yeah, there's no character like Fox in Melee that is far and away the best, and there are fewer useless characters.

Metaknight is the most overpowered character in Brawl and Snake would be next. However Brawl is more balanced. The difference from fox to pichu in SSBM is much greater than the difference from Metaknight to Captain Falcon.

Yeah that's what I was getting at. It was just worded poorly.
Fun Factor wise I think it's the best fighter this gen. I love the selection of characters and the stages. They picked some great music as well. Great game to me!

Yep. Nintendo is unmatched when it comes to first party development. I wish their third party support would put as much as Nintendo does into their games.
I still like Brawl, but the terribly laggy online mode made me get bored of it quickly. Now, the only times I play it is with friends or my brother (not online).
I prefer pretty much any fighter to Brawl. Brawl was terrible.
DOA and Street Fighter on the other hand are excellent.

No Street fight is a slow pace game and brawl is fast and better At being an actually fighter SF4 is better, its actually balanced. Lets not bark up that tree, you know how smash bros fans who've never actually played a fighting game love to defend it to death as the ultimate supreme and deepest fighter.

even though Smash Bros. is a Fighter. It was never meant to be played like Street Fighter or Dead or Alive or any traditional Arcade fighter.

Yes, I never understood why the comparisons occur. I've seen countless arguments in the past, its not played the same as Street Fighter, its not in the playstyle as Street Fighter, it can not be compared to traditional fighters. Smash Bros is a great game if you're into that kind of thing, some are more competive and remove everything great about smash bros in order to try to make it competetive, when you could instead, just play a fighter meant to be played that way.
It's been almost 20 years and I'm still effin' awesome 8)

Well, I can't really say anything about that... I don't even know you... so you're not that awesome to me. But others might have that opinion. Anyways on topic here, I agree. I regret having sold my wii a while back. Could still be playing it :(
Fun game for sure. Remember I bought a Wii just for that game. Good times.
I've moved on since then. Can't believe I used to take the game seriusly as a competitive "fighter" lol. The game doesnt lend itself to be played so seriously. It's just not that type of game and never has been. After I got over that it became 10x more fun.

if you play it with everything removed its competitive you would literally get your ass handed to you if you dont know what your doing in all honesty. its not deep with combos but its kind of make your own combos type of thing. basically many air juggles
I can't explain how cool it is that they included Sonic and Snake in this game. It really makes my day when I hear music from Sonic R and Sonic CD in a smash Bros game. And Snake's special makes me smile every time. This game is crazy. It would for sure be one of my "5 games you would want with you on a desert island" games.
Brawl is an awesome game, and I enjoy playing it casually or competitively, as I do with Melee and SSB64.
As someone who's played both SSB64 and SSBM a billion times, I actually didn't have that much issue adjusting to the floaty, slower combat in Brawl. That and Brawl has many more features and a better character roster, better visuals, better soundtrack. That being said it sucks that they ****ed up break the targets, tournament mode, and event mode.
Great party game, but the online component complete destroys any hope of me enjoying it outside a group of friends, and to be honest... the thing I get tired of most while playing the game is having every match become just the same thing.... High tier characters (Star Fox/Fire Emblem) matches with no items, battlefield stage only, etc... it gets boring that way....

There's your problem...Brawl is pretty good if you turn all items off and only play on Battlefield. Where it shines is in the addition of random elements that makes every match interesting. Even though the best player may not always win, I just feel it is so much more fun with items on and playing on dynamic maps.
