I'm loving this game. I've been a very serious smash player since the original so it's hard for me to not like the new titles. I'm really glad they increased the speed of play to make it a little closer to melee. After playing this new game, brawl is essentially unplayable due to how sluggish it is. I was fortunate enough to track down two adapters on launch day, one of which I sold for $120 on eBay, so if you can find one you should buy it immediately.
