I don't understand about Melee/Brawl.I mean it is essentialy the same game with more characters and levels.Man that is why everyone hates the drones no matter what series/games they support...
It's way more complicated than that. More features and characters isn't necessarily enough to make a game stronger, or to even justify it being stronger. The 2D sections in SMG2 are better than the entirety of SMB, but which one would win a contest match? Also, recall how easily the original Halo, with its non-online multiplayer and non-HD graphics, easily beat Halo 3.
Melee was THE biggest GameCube game and THE preeminent console multiplayer game for three years (until Halo 2). When it launched, it represented the standard for console multiplayer games. When Brawl launched with its gimped-ass multiplayer, it was already lagging behind $10-15 Xbox Live games.
