I won't say Melee has more depth. in fact, it might be as likes because the mechanics are still a bit unpolished. granted it's the one smash game I didn't play (outside of Wii U but for that I need a Wii U) and while some say I missed the best, I greatly disagree. Yes, Melee was more fluid in combat, but a lot of the things you could do in that game weren't intended to be done in the game's mechanics and fixed in brawl. Brawl overall is my second favorite smash game, while yes it's slow, that doesn;t take away from the combat. it gives it a more tactical and counter play feel, and it introduced my main (Ike) so it's already forgiven for being a bit slower.

But that's just my smash rant about Melee probably getting more love than it deserves. One thing I will thank it for is getting Fire Emblem to the scene in europe and america

I agree, I view melee as a game with a lot of mechanical exploits rather than a game with deeper mechanics than the other titles in the series.

"But those exploits were what made the game fun!" yeah because smash isn't fun unless you can exploit the hell out of it like Abridged Yami Yugi in YGOTAS
