Wii - Smash Bros. Brawl

As a person who used Link a lot in Melee, it's immediately obvious they really nerfed Link's spin attack, both as an offensive weapon and as a means of recovery. His standard double jump is also kinda pathetic.

That is what I was referring to when I was talking Up+B jumps. A lot of them seem to be less potent.

Aha. Yes, that's definitely true for Link. He seems to have gotten slower (even heavier?), with some of his moves getting slightly better. (I'm a fan of his new bombs, myself.) I think his triple jump got shorter because they wanted to encourage using the grapple as well. And you can charge the spin attack now.

I didn't use Link much in Melee, so I don't have much point of comparison for him. But he's a specific case, and general consensus seems to be that he's overall worse than he was. Did you have any other old characters in mind whose ^Bs have been nerfed?

I reciently unlocked Falco, he might be the fastest character or one of the fastest, good times!

Uh... Sonic would like to disagree.

Just wondering if anyone else thought that the storymode was way too easy when you play solo compared with when you play two player?

I think I'm the only one who likes Olimar!

Hmmm, well I think that Peach's is not as good as it was, but I never played her very much in Melee. Mario's does not seem to be as good as it used to be either.

Lies!

Zero Suit Samus = Amazing. I can tear up with that whip. I'm actually surprised how good she is, as I really expected that to be much more of a throwaway character.

Played ZSS for the first time last week--is there a way to start as her, or do you have to wait for the Final Smash Ball?

After you select her, hold R until the start of the match (don't remember the equivalent on the remote.) Her suit should fall off at the beginning of the match.
