Either way people get mad at me for my playing style. Brawl almost seems a little more balanced in some aspects, but Melee is quite fun in its more combo/technique system rather than a slower play style featured in Brawl.
Super Smash Bros. Melee is far superior. I've played that game 10 times more than Brawl. I don't know if it was because I was younger and found it more amusing but Brawl felt very limited. The events in Brawl were appalling. The events in Melee were superior in every aspect. Brawl could have had a better replay value if it weren't for the dreadful Wi-Fi it offered. Brawl did have Subspace Emissary which was a great addition to the series. But in the end, Melee was an unforgettable game for me which brought hundreds (or thousands) of hours of fun. Super Smash Bros. Melee will always have a special place in my heart.
