I prefer Brawl because it is more balanced on a casual level. I can pick ANY character and still fare a decent chance against virtually all my friends. As someone who always without exception goes with random character, I am very thankful for this. There was once a melee tournament at school I was made to join, and I got a few strange looks when I rolled dice to see which character I should play. From someone who could never take the time to become professional in any game, their reactions were worth everything. Of course I lost, but their reactions? Almost every single one of them having to pause for a moment realizing they had nothing to say to me? Priceless.

I remember my school had this 'gamer's club' thing every Wednesday, and this guy brought melee this one time and everybody [i]Laughed[/i] at me when I picked captain falcon... And I think when my friend picked Ness that was the only other time anyone picked something other than Marth or Fox...
