The thing you have to remember about Melee is that they shifted a lot of the focus from offensive play to defensive play, which goes against the idea of it being a party game, but enhances the experience overall.

As for the "clones," well, I wasn't that upset at their inclusion because I figured these minor variations were better than none at all. Young Link would've been intolerable if his moves weren't so different. Dr. Mario got to me a little, I would've rather had Toad for fuck's sake. There are hundreds of those fuckers, let Peach keep a few tucked up her skirt while a couple more sign up for active duty. SMB2 showdown is set to go. If they had put in Wario I would've been restless without Waluigi, though.

I also would've liked more items, and, though they did make some nice improvements, the number of games they can take items from in contrast with the number of items in the game makes me grumpy.
