Typical gaming media, spinning anything to do with Nintendo negatively. Or rather, typical Craptaku.

I agree  100% , but the thing is, I had much much more fun with the bug exploited "harsh" melle than I ever did with brawl or the orignal, maybe its just because I expierenced the hardcore smash scene (was ranked 3rd in my state on Smash Boards) and now I cant go back.  All that I, and really everyone that played the game at tournmanets wanted was for  all of the blugs and exploits to be oficially added and smoothed rather than taken out outright. 

I'l preface this by saying I don't like any of the Smash Bros games, but I feel that the exploits of Melee seriously diminish it, forcing players to play in a fiddly way to be competitive.

Isn't that how Brawl was supposed to be? I'd say Brawl was easier to pick up than Melee, but Brawl was still really deep.

Similar to champions of Snaking, although the pro-Melee crowd was not quite as cruel.

I actually like Brawl better.  Melee is certainly more technically demanding though.

Some of your comments read as if accessibility is achieved by breaking the game's balance.

Though OP mentions that Sakurai describes in good detail the balancing strategy, most of us are going on to say that it will be between melee and brawl.

The most important thing to get out of this thread is that a balanced game does not make a game less accessible at all. Having said that, the makers are targetting a non-competitive crowd. That doesn't mean that they will ignore the quality of balancing.

his idealogy about Smash is nothing new. If anything, Smash U will be much more hardcore than Brawl due to the speed enhancements of the chars. Will it be on par with Melee, no, but much more competitve than brawl is.

brawl could of been more technical had he left in L canceling (which was in the demo version), but took it out at the last moment.  Obviously the speed of the chars and wave dashing was the biggest things taken out though.

Good news for me
