I have no idea as to why so many people see Brawl as inferior to the other Smash games, but to me it has to be one of the best games I have ever played. It literally defines my childhood. Those were the good times! Brawl has the best story mode out of any Smash game, and that's a fact. The graphics for Brawl were a giant leap from Melee. I think that it was the best Smash game ever.
