@dib8rman: The biggest problem with Melee is the balance. Too many characters were over powered and too many were underpowered. The characters are mostly balanced in Brawl (most people will complain about Meta-Knight, but tournament rules give him a huge advantage among other things). Brawl has a much better balance of characters and all can be played. It's more about the player then the character.
I would also argue that the floating adds more air combat and fights off the stage (as every character can meteor smash or intercept). The only problem is the items are too few. Brawl could use more items spawning.
