Brawl . I've only heard bad things for this game

Really? Because I’ve said a lot of good things about it in this forum, as have others.

It’s the only game in the franchise that isn’t obsolete due to all other games being eclipsed by Ultimate, but not Brawl due to its superior single player mode.

It is the Smash game that really put the franchise on the map ; as while the earlier games weren’t bad, they amounted to little more than a Nintendo license novelty fighting franchise (outside of the hipster gamecube fanboys). To this day Brawl maintains the highest success both critically and commercially; although it will eventually fall to 2nd commercially, its healthy critical lead over Ultimate won’t be surpassed.

Ultimate and Brawl are both at 93 on Metacritic, and Brawl is only 0.73% ahead of Ultimate on GameRankings. How in the world is that a "healthy" critical lead?
