Olimar is just a freaking beast at dealing damage.R.O.B is also a potential favorite. I'm not much a fan of wolf, not really sure why. He seems decent though.

Brawl is love-making awesome. My favourite new characters are Pit and Snake. I tried to use Dedede but I guess I just don't know how to use him effectively yet  .Initially my best characters were Sheik and Marth, partly because I used them the most in SSBM, and partly because they seem really good in Brawl. Since I never owned SSBM and never had the chance to learn all of its advanced techniques, my playstyle with them is pretty much the same. Pit looks similar to Marth at first glance, but he plays totally differently. It took me a while to learn how to use him well and to start winning 1v1s against my friends. His n-air, u-air, and forward-B seem like his most "spammable" damage-inflicting moves. forward-B seems to leave him in frame-advantage most of the time. His dash attack is good, too. His b-air is powerfull, a lot better than his f-ir (which seems to be a common trend in all the SSB games  ). For killing, b-air and f-smash seem best. His giant shield ROCKS: tonight, I saw it block smash attacks, boss attacks (during the SSE campaign), and a mortar in the face (which actually killed my opponent instead, lol). I suspect it would also block hammers, bob-ombs, and maybe even some final smashes  . Lastly, a downside with Pit is that he has a tiny grab range =/.Snake plays very weird, very differently from most other characters. All his smash attacks are like special moves. As far as I can tell, his only fast moves are his neutral-A x3, f-tilt x2, and (totally awesome) dash attack. Beyond that, seems like fighting at a distance is what he does best. I keep forgetting to abuse his grenades and his remote and proximity mines, mainly because I keep having so much fun with his guided missile  . You control it with the joystick and press shield to make it stop and drop (there might be other things you can do with it, also). If you pick Snake, I suggesting sticking to the 3 moves I mentioned above when in-close, and abuse his gimmicky tools from a distance ^_^. Oh yeah, he can still attack after his up-B, and his f-air is really slow and sucks: use his other air moves instead.Someone teach me how to play Dedede . His n-air splash looks pretty good, but I didn't like his f-air much: it's too slow, imo. His other air moves looked good too. On the ground, I'm not sure how to approach my opponent =/. I read a month ago that he has a chain grab, but I wasn't able to abuse it very well (I probably had the timing wrong).IMO, Toon Link is going to be one of the top-tier characters. My friend and I unlocked him tonight by beating the SSE last boss, then going to the Forest level (it has Zelda music in the background). Toon Link's moves are ridiculously fast and powerful. It's hard to find any downsides to him. The second hit of his f-smash is SOOO STRONG  . The only consolation is that, if you block it, you get a free grab. Furthermore, his d-air is SOOO FAST and has incredible vertical range: my friend would land on a platform above my head and Toon Link's sword would actually hit me beneath the platform @_@. Seems like it would also have a lot of landing lag, at least. I finally managed to win vs Toon Link using Pit and abusing forward-B to get in on him, but that might be due in part to my friend having been awake for 20 hours at that point  .Lastly, my friend and I discovered the best combo in the game: 1. Pick Wario vs Toon Link. 2. Grab Toon Link. 3. Press A to punch him in the balls. I think it's a coincidence that Wario holds Toon Link at the perfect height for his fist to nail Toon Link square in the nuts . | ||

The items have better variety (although I suck at getting Final Smashes, and the assist trophies piss me off, especially Little Mac >_<;; ), the single-player content looks incredible, the characters are cooler and more varied, and the game mechanics show some huge improvements. Like I said, I was never an advanced player in Melee, so I don't miss wavedashing and the like. But I'm SO glad that they improved air-dodging: I used to die repeatedly in Melee from trying to tech and instead air-dodging off the side of the stage. It adds a lot more depth to the air-to-air game to allow you to move after air dodging, imo. In addition, I'm glad that some characters can still attack after they recover with up-B. | ||

samus' missiles is almost useless without missle cancel (wtf her missles look like pellets!) metaknight players can abuse a's and that drill move. Overall it seems balance (there's really no high tier) .. however i hate the speed of the game (slow movement and character now a much easier time getting back on stage).. there's no fast fall (even if there is.. you wont see any difference) o gosh no dash dancing.. | ||

The regular enemies were generally lame (where were the enemies from Kirby? other Mario series? hell, Earthbound?) with a few cool bosses. The battles with Porky and Ridley were cool, but who the hell were those robots? Subspace could have been totally awesome, but ended up being pretty mediocre. Oh well, at least its just kind of a sideshow. Edit: Oh and PS - Glad to see that Mr. Game and Destroy got some upgrades. | ||

I won't be the one to organize it, I don't feel I would stay consist enough to update threads, results, etc. But if somebody would create a "Starleague" for Brawl for TL.net, I would certainly play :D | ||
