So if you're a big Smash fan, you probably thought about the ultimate Smash question(right next to "WHY IS THERE RANDOM TRIPPING!?"): which is better, Melee or Brawl?
Sure Smash 4 might blow them both out of the water, but if you had to choose, and I don't mean like "yeah this one is better because I had so much fun back in the day" no I mean which one would you actually play right now, no mods attached.
I going with some of my random pluses to see which would I pick.
Melee
+ Feels classic
+ Has a cool adventure mode
+ Gravity isn't floaty / More ground fighting (not even Smash 4 fixes this)
+ No tripping
+ Has Roy and Young Link and Pichu
+ Music is better
+ Best opening in the series, makes you want to play the game
+ Event mode is great
+ Graphic style is cool
+ Better stages
+ No stickers and fewer useless features(who plays Rotation Mode!?)
+ You have to play on a very high level to notice how bad your character really is
+ Pretty much no Loading
Brawl
+ Feel more polished
+ Adventure Mode is fun after you beat it
+ Stage Recovery is much better
+ Gameplay isn't stupid fast
+ Gameplay is easier
+ Gameplay in general is much more fun
+ Has Wario, Toon Link, and Sonic
+ Has a LOT of music
+ Opening sucks, makes you hurry and press start
+ Stadium is really great
+ Graphics style is really cool
+ Has a Stage Builder!
+ Customizable controls
+ More characters
+ Take pictures easily!
+ A lot more content
+ 2-Player Coop stuff
Melee
+++++++++++++
Brawl
++++++++++++++
I'll be playing Brawl
