I've got both Street Fighter IV and SSBB both are awesome but Brawl has that factor that you can be technical, skilled, and fun at the same time.  Street Fighter IV is the same but when you start getting into the game it becomes more BS and cheapness then fun <_< which is where Street Fighter has always made it's home, great game just leg sweep cheapness can win fights at times <_< and people don't see cheap as fun.

I've mained Ness since SSB cause of Earthbound, I believe in the pick your favorite character way of thinking, not "these fighters are on another level then these" etc. In Brawl I can use just about everyone but I mostly use Ness, Lucas, Pikachu, Dedede, Ike, and Pokemon Trainer.

As for people that main Ness, I rarely find anyone that mains him but think of my surprise when I fought a guy from these forums with the same name and we met randomly via Brawl matches, me and Tao are both named Pat and we both main Ness and use the same black shirt Ness and met in a game, not only that but our styles were similar.

And yeah I like how Ness plays, really unique, and a lot of fun.

Note: My avatar is Ness from SSB because there's few good avatars using the Earthbound SNES sprites.

SF4, no contest.

Blanka has control over electricity because his diet consists of electric eels.

On topic, I would have to say Brawl is the better fighter to me. In general I have more fun playing it.

Also LMAO at the comments that people post without even trying both games, it's basically like this "oh I love PS360 and SFIV came out on it but Brawl didn't and SFIV will not be on Wii so it's automatically better cause it'll make the Wii fans feel jealous"

I don't actually ever sign out.  I guess after I'm afk for a bit it says I'm offline.  I open a ton of threads at once, make a few posts, and then wander into another room to get drunker, and then come back and look for responses.  I'm basically always here.

Also, Brawl has 2 player, 3 player, and 4 player gaming.  SF4 only has 2 player gaming.

And possibly most importantly, Brawl has a level editor.

@BCrayfish, I actually remember discussing the electric eel diet possibility with my friends when SF2 first came out and we were trying to make sense of him.  Thanks for the hilarious flashback.

Brawl owns every fighter this generation and probably every other game. masive content, huge roster of modes, fighters and stages. after playing brawl every other game(not only fighting games) feels kinda empty.

My main beef with fighters like SFIV is having to do button combinations to do moves.  Yes, it adds "depth," in that a skilled player can do them and a new player can't.  But that's more complexity than it is depth.

One of the deepest games in the world is chess.  And how does a chess master destroy a new guy?  Is it the new guy's inability to move a pawn forward?  Or the inability to move a bishop diagonally?  No, he can do everything the chess master can do.  But the chess master knows WHAT to use WHERE and WHEN.  The HOW doesn't even enter the equation.

After 10 minutes of playing SSBB, almost anyone has the ability to do all the moves.  But learning the WHATs, WHEREs and WHENs is what really creates the depth.  And you never need to worry about HOWs.

you are joking right? SSBB? what is next comparing it to tekken?

king of fighters 12 will be better than both :)

Quoted for truth! All hail the king! And stfu to anyone that says otherwise (nya nya can't hear you).
