interesting, I'm on the smash boards now and the meta game is starting to heat up.

It's a very long post that is actually just a chat log, but it's talking about some of the ins and outs, and new stuff in brawl, but it seems like people are starting to get on board with it a bit more now (it hasn't even been a frikkin week) instead of complaining that it's not melee. Some things of note, characters seem more balanced, so that it's not just top 4 tier with marth, sheik, fox and falco. Characters are more varied, rather than learning techs and then applying them to whatever character you want, each character really plays differently. Combos seem to be more integral this time around. The floatiness makes for more areal tactics and combat. Apparently high rep pros like Azen are saying it's good. Some are starting to think it might be deeper than Melee was, just in a completely different way. Alot of new techniques. Olimar seems to be a very good character if you know how to use him (getting swarmed with pikmin apparently does an absurd amount of damage).
Alot more interesting technical stuff there if you're eyes don't bleed trying to read the wall of text.
