So you keep saying. None of Nintendo's major competitive games (if you can even call them major) are hard. They're really just not. My brother who never plays console games can usually take one stock off me in a four stock match, despite me playing daily, if I don't gimp him. Technical, I'll give ya. It's really way too early for people to start making judgements that Brawl is easier than Melee. Not one of the characters in Brawl (even MK, TL, and Snake, who've all received huge attention at various points in the last eight months) can possibly have been perfected yet. Therefore, we simply don't know how technical and complex each character's meta-game will eventually become. Though, it's very hard to chain hits like you could in melee.
