Very good game, Although there are some flaws thats professionals and veterans may find annoying,
OKay in this version of brawl almost everyone has received a extreme nerf from the previous titles, noticeable characters who were nerfed include peach, jigglypuff, fox, falco, peach being the most nerfed. her jumping ablities have been nerfed as well as her smash attacks in fact she has a very difficult time k-oing hardcore players because moves that k-o like the mid- air crown( f-ward air) and up-smash have short range and take to long to perform and the opponent has to be position a certain way. Also short hopping is alot harder to do for characters that relay on it like falco.Alot of the characters grabs have been nerfed like foxs, and falco down after grabbing not allowing u to chain and extra down smash any longer, and jigglypuffs up throw use to throw the opponent all the way in the air but it now does a short distance above her head.IN fact its tough for many characters to get a k-o because there either to light, adding to them being weak, or to strong making thme very slow on one-one matches. also the online is extremely laggy, ssbb should get video-game with the most lagg ever seen award.
BALANCE is pretty much where i feel smash bros feel short on, characters that feel over powered are, olimar, snake, wolf, and zelda ill explain in full starting with zelda. With most characters infact all but zelda there are animation lag before and after a smash attack, but not for the magic using heroin, her attack are extrememly powerful and they only have to lightly tip the hair on your face for u to receive and insane amout of damage and also knock-back in particular her up smash making air fighters like jigglypuff flaco and pit useless against her, zelda isnt even that light, and she moves across the board alot faster as well, her dins fire has been buffed as well. So pretty much u can do a whole bunch of dogding and smash attack spamming and can easly destory every character in the game is that fair? that Zelda received a significant buff while others received a nerf? No its not it creates unbalance. Her up smash kill all even heavy characters at as little as 94% dmg, each time, even if the tip of her non-lagging spamming attacks touchs the tip of u your dead, lets move on. Wolf is also another overly powered character thats not balanced he has no i mean no weakness or flaws while every other character in the game does,wolfs blaster is inpossible to deal with on a small stage, is very easy spammed if the wolf players just shoots one on the ground then jumps and shoots one at the air, making no projectile wields, like jigglypiff metaknight marth donkey kong just want to commit sucide. also wolf is a heavy character, hes very hard to kill by a light character, but can kill u easyly at low percentages because his attacks are so quick, but thankfully have lagg on them a bit. His final smash is extrmemly unbalanced there no weakeness to it unlike every other characters specials in the game, your are guranteed to die if you are target on any stage period! Olimar is over powered though light and easy killed, players that edge guard, meaning stay at the edge of the stage at all times causing you to walk over to them to fight them the edge have insane advantage, and it makes the game cheap and not fun. And finallly snake is very heavy, however is tap a combo is very fast and very veyr powerful when knocking back, also his dashing attack is unstoppable by anything a character can do but a counter move, if your character does not have a counter how can u stop this move from being spammed, if u dogde out the way hes to far for any counter attack to reach before he able t block again. Pretty much super smash bros brawl does have balance in alot of there characters just some of them were given alot of strengths and no weakness, or the weakness didnt balance there strength making it inmpossible to use every character against each other fairly.
