If Brawl would've had the same gameplay and mechanics as Melee when it came out. Would Melee be dead? If Brawl would've been basically what PM is now when it was first released would the Melee scene be dead? One reason people came back to Melee from Brawl originally was because Brawl was too slow or too ''casual'' for them. If that would have not been the case, how different would the smash scene be now?
