I'm sure my mind will work it out eventually, but for now things like grabbing are a major pain in the butt. I’m using the classic controller set up at the moment.

The customization for control input is well made, it's foolproof, though getting used to the floatiness they brought back from SSB might take some getting used to. http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various14.html what controller configuration are you using?

I just said that wasn't enough :). I totally agree with you about the random jumping. Then again, I'm still taunting instead of moving half the time. Someday my brain will get adjusted to new buttons... if I ever suck it up and decide with configuration to use! I never said I didn’t like that it was full of things.

Less expected, then, are the few potential criticisms. The sheer number of control options makes it hard to figure out what play style works best; they leave it very open-ended, which is good in some ways, but bad in others. I prefer games which TELL me the best way to play them, rather than forcing me to figure it out myself. The action also feels "floatier" in Brawl than it was in Melee. This could just be me not getting used to the controls quickly, but I feel less precise in my control (especially when it seems the slightest upward angle of the analog stick makes my character jump without asking; need to remember to turn that off). Controls aside, the game's <i>huge</i>, and packed with content. Certainly nobody can complain about that. I’m digging Brawl a lot, but that’s certainly to be expected.
