Brawl, compared to the other versions, is just way too
slow.
The 'gravity' is a lot different, and as a result the characters are all really sluggish, especially if you're using the GC controller.
I'm assuming they slowed down the gameplay to accommodate the wii-mote.
Maybe after I get used to it I'll play online -- but when it comes to the N64 and GC version, I'm undefeated
(I've actually won local SSB tournaments
)
