Brawl is the Smash game that I liked the least. Going forward from Melee, it felt like a downgrade in some places, speaking mostly in terms of removing tech like wavedashing. It was still nice to get new characters and introducing the Smash Ball which was supposed to be a mechanic from the very start but limitations held it back, even though it is not used in competitive play. The graphics, while really good, are incredibly dull. The colours are virtually non-existent. In their efforts to make the textures and detail more realistic, they made the game look incredibly dull and boring. The Brawl theme, composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, is glorious. That and Subspace Emissary are the best things about this game in my opinion. I don't play it enough to consider what my mains are for it, but they will probably be no different to what they are now as it applies to the characters that are in Brawl. Being a Melee player, I cannot speak for the controls outside of using a GameCube controller.
