It's been a solid six months now, with that, I mean it's a little after, because I wanted to allow for those users that didn't get the game the first few days to be on equal footing.
I want to know, what do you think of SSBB?
Things you dislike, things you love, your mains, etc. From there, I plan on looking waaaaaaaay back, to March, and comparing the things, we'll see how our perspective has changed in such a small period of time.
With a game like Melee, things were discovered right up until the end, and I expect that to be the trend for Brawl, as well.
So, let's begin our test, shall we?
(Please, feel free to do it as you like)
Current Main: IC's and Diddy
Favorite Stage: Lylat Cruise
Favorite Part of Brawl: Music
Least Favorite: Great Maze, lol
Controller Option: Nunchuk
So, I haven't changed too much, but I have changed a bit...like adding IC's, or going to the Nunchuk.. So, how have you changed, or, do you still see the game the same way?
Main(s) :Pit
Favorite stage: Smashville
Favorite part of Brawl: characters/music/online (hey its better than what Melee had)

Sonic
Falco
Captain Falcon

As it used to be:
Pit
Mario
Sonic
Ike
Toon Link
Falco
Captain Falcon
Kirby
Sheik
The hype was definitely better than the release, I can tell you that. The game was rushed, as we all know, and so much more could've been added to it! I'm a bit disappointed in the results, because they could've done a LOT more.

Just curious, but how can you stand the Great Maze?
Huh...
Well I really like getting involved competitively (sp?) so no more items for me. Getting involved in clans is fun and frustrating at the same time, and the smash boards are mindboggling O_O So I'm not fully into the competition yet.
Main(S): They are constantly changing, but as of now they are Diddy, Mario, and a tie between Snake and Wolf
Secondaries: Lots of people, really. Captain Falcon, Lucas, Falco, ROB, MetaKnight, and some others...
Favorite stage: I really enjoy PictoChat, but it's more for fun then for the serious stuff. So Smashville is good for me :)
Least Favorite stage: Hanenbow >_<
Favorite part of Brawl: Music, online though lacking, and just being able to play it :)
Least favorite part of Brawl: YAY LAG
Controller option: Gamecube Controller
I never was into Melee very much, not nearly as Brawl. I can see people arguments that Melee is better than Brawl, but it's not like that for me. Of course, Brawl could use some serious improvements but for now it's good.
Main Brawlers:
Luigi
Metaknight
Bowser
Samus
Game & Watch
Favorite Stage:
Pictochat
Port Town Aero Dive
Halberd
Favorite Part of Brawl:
The multiple songs for each stage and the option of stage builder.
Least Favorite:
The lack of variation in stage builder. Seriously only three backgrounds and sizes?
Do you know how hard it is to theme design a stage with only three backgrounds.
Also once again no team tournament or classic mode.
Actually I kinda of enjoyed Great Maze myself. It reminded me of The Great Cave Adventure from Kirby SuperStar.
I wish the rest of SSE had been more exploratory in nature and featured the ability to switch party members at safe zones.
It's great. But it doesn't seem as random as Melee seemed like. Everytime I played Melee I was like, "This is completely weird." Not so much with Brawl. :-\
Also, the Items don't seem as fun as Melee's Items did.
Current Main: Lucas, or Ness, or IC's
Fav Stage: Big Blue.
Fav part of Brawl: Characters. :)
Least fav part of Brawl: Items. :(
And SSE was awesome. Especially the Great Maze.

Everything. It was just amusing to go through, in my opinion.
unfortunately the older brawl gets, the more people will stop going on Nsider. Its a shame that brawl didn't have as much lasting power as melee. I think Melee had so much lasting power because it took so long for brawl to finally come from those delays. i have to admit, i've lost some interest in it, but it's still by far my favorite game.
Int terms of my controls, characters, stages, etc. not much has changed for me at all.
Current
main characters (I'm really good with them)
Lucas
Falco
Pikachu
Pit
Kirby
Toon Link
Other characters I like to use:
Lucario
Diddy Kong
Zerosuit Samus
Bowser
Yoshi
Sonic
Favorite Stages
Great Sea
Final Destination
Bridge of Eldin
Battlefield
Smashville
The stages I make of course
Favorite aspect of game:
characters
Control: Gamecube controller
Best Features: Stage Builder, lots of great music
Overall the game is still fiver star caliber
Current Main: Marth and a revolving cast of secondaries
Favorite Stage: none maybe corneria
Favorite Part of Brawl: All of it
Least Favorite: allisbrawl ladder
Controller Option: cube
I originaly mained wario and then falco and it kept changing then it went back to falco and wario then to marth :D
my mains have changed not much else though
