Super Smash Bros Melee. Yes, it's a great game but the control scheme was so different from the original that it actually made it less fun.
For instance...
Donkey Kong = less strength in his blows, whole lot more speed
Samus = more projectiles, charge shot a lot weaker, spin jump attack doesn't suck people in like it should
Link = blows are less effective and don't defend him as well
Luigi = uppercut is next to useless
Falcon = increase speed but make it more difficult for average blows to connect
Starfox = faster, weaker, gun is near useless, hit specs are slightly off
Essentially they made the control more difficult and not as precise. You had a severe sense of timing in the original that is almost completely omitted in Melee. Let's hope the next game delivers better results.

The entire three day system sounded interesting, if it LASTED the entire game. I thought you actually HAD three days to complete the game, not wait for three days, play a song, and repeat. Not to mention all the uncharted songs in the menu. Kid Link is annoying IMO, the masks were stupid to me, and lack of Zelda=/=Zelda game.

They had two titles for it originally. "Room 302", and "The Room". Why they made it SH4 I don't think we know. I think it's alright though. It is about Walter Sullivan who is mentioned in that letter in the garbage at the apartments in SH2 about murdering those kids.

donkey kong: yes less strength, but he is still the strongest character in ssb.
samus: i like the new missiles, but yea, the new screw attacks isnt what it was.
link: hmm. i didnt see much difference here, except for the bow, which is only a plus.
luigi: this is plain confusing, theres hardly any difference between the two uppercuts.
falcon: faster yes, but still as strong, and the bit about blows not connecting, WTF!!..
fox: the gun is twice as effective, since it responds immediatly to the button, instead of doing the same speed shots over and over like in the first game, and it does triple the damage of the first game blaster, who cares if it doesnt stop people, by the time they reach you, they're dead..
and finaly, the controls werent sooooo different that you have to complain about them...
Donkey Kong = Not the strongest character (Bowser)
Samus = I have no problems with the missles. They work for me. I just think the charge shot is less effective.
Link = The forward smash attack is different. The original one covered you from top to bottom. The new one is paced and has two parts, which can be helpful but more than not I miss the old one.
Luigi = Not confusing. Originally if you connected with his uppercut right then it would be a one hit wonder 80% of the time. Now it seems more like 40%. On top of that it's a little more awkward to connect with. I chock that up to the looser control scheme of Melee.
Falcon = The blows don't connect sometimes because the timing is off. I don't count that against his character so much as the overall system. It just becomes a little more apparent in his character than others.
Fox = No stun and not as much damage. It only does one percent of damage. Yeah, it shoots faster but it doesn't chain as well with combos as the old one. Or it just doesn't work as well for me. Also, his new dash attack works fine in most situations but some levels it's just a death sentence.
Don't look into this too much though. It was a big disappointment for me but I still love the game. It's still spectacular. It just wasn't what I was hoping for.
hmm
dk is the strongest, hes the only character who can pick up boxes and jump with them.
i dont mind link, the difference isnt that severe..
luigis attack works as fine as the n64 version..with me it connects and becomes a 'one hit wonder' just as well...
as for the control scheme..its not serious, and it doesnt really matter.

To be perfectly honest... 😮
It's faster. It's faster and it requires a reaction speed that is just beyond me. So yeah, it is a disappointment, because my old hands can't seem to keep up with the action level. There's nothing I can't beat. I've beaten the game on every difficulty with every character in every mode. (except for the last two event matches. I can only seem to use select characters on them)
Characters drop faster, dodge faster, run faster, and die faster. It's too much for this oldie gamer to keep up with. I'm so embarrased.
😮

The letter said Walter was sent to prison for murdering the two kids, Billy and a girl, I forgot her name. He killed himself by stabbing his crotted artery with a spoon, but 4 brings light to this.

Oh, that wasn't screwy. That WAS how ghetto the save system was, so yes, you had to basically do everything within one game-sit-through, or save, and re-do it ALL over again. Completely ridiculous, I guess I forgot that because I surpressed it.

Okay, as I watch (and read) all of the reviews, (and saw some screenshots), it looks to me like it's going to be like EVERY other SM game. Except this time, it has better graphics and new "powerups" whoopie!

Please , CC was ok. It's just Nintendo got greedy when they realised they had hold of a FF game (Probably hoping that it would cause a 'rush'😉 and then decided to drain as much of our cash as possible with that dumbass link effect
