Yea, you guys seriously missed out. The original was good, but had major problems with character balance, basically if you knew how to play Kirby then there was no point in playing the game because he would edge guard kill everything, actually edge guarding in general ruined the game. Melee made things much more focused, a lot of down time was taken away from air juggles so you can get back in the action much more quicker and moves and throws were much more responsive. There was still some balancing issues in Melee, and while Brawl feels almost exactly like Melee there was some changes to balance and things were refined a little more. I do like going back to the original because it felt so open and simple compared to the sequels, but its flaws tend to show its rear end when playing against advanced opponents.
