Incorrect statement. Brawl does things better than Melee, and has better new characters. I have all 3 games and Brawl is by far the best. I can still kick ass with my old favorites, but also favor about half of the new characters, as well. Bowser, Kirby, Game&Watch, and Luigi are awesome, but it's fun to have a larger bag of tricks. More ways to kick ass. Plus, it's got a level editor.
Not quite today, but between my last post and today: I met up with a fiend I hadn't seen in about 12 years.
