I had some problems with SSBM at first, but I got used to it. Mostly it was the comparative wussyfication of Mario. He PWNS everybody except MAYBE Link and Kirby in the first game. He's not as powerful the second time around.

But it's nowhere near as bad as how weak they made Pikachu compared to the first game. My brother didn't like that too much.

gonna disagree with you on that. Link was the easy character to play...not trying to insult anyone that used him, but 98% of the people i know started with link. Yeah, you could get good with him and play him beyond that level, but no way he would be put at the top. Just like Mario did not 'PWN' everybody. Kirby was decently good but honestly not that much of a challenge, even in the hands of a good player.

actually all the characters were good in the hands of someone that knew what they were doing, I know people that rocked with donkey kong. heck, i know people that could clean house with Jigglypuff. My character of choice was Ness. Now he PWNS everybody. I was deadly with him, but i knew how to play him to his full advantage. Just like my friends could play their character of choice to full advantage. Actually my one friend that gave me the most trouble spent time playing lots of characters, and was good with most (prob the best as far as being able to use multiple characters that i know, and actually probably only second to me as far as a single character). He mainly played Pikachu when we were in serious matches, but at the end he picked up Yoshi and was damn good (and annoying) with him.

in the new one, they actually 'wussyfied' all the characters because they changed the whole style of play. I lost the precision i had with Ness' third jump because of the control change. but yeah, basically they are two totally different games and need to be played in different ways.
