Anyone mind if I give my ups and downs?

+Character roster is more fleshed out.
+Snake's CODEC calls are just brimming with awesome. Mei Ling wants a Pikachu, Otacon practices the Captain Falcon memes too much, Snake tells it striaght how most Nintendo fans feel about Peach, and Snake has a disturbing motive for wanting to catch Zero Suit Samus.
+Tomoko Sasaki singing Ashley's Song (JP). Full of win.
+It's fun.
+Solid Snake, because nothing is more fun then beating up

-Wish it controlled better with the other controllers minus the Gamecube/Wavebird.
-Sonic is too [darn] cheap. *Awaits steaming hate from Sonic fans*
-Some Final Smashes are lame. I'm looking at you, Donkey Kong.

And off-topic... A friend of mine asked me why Snake hates Sonic, and the answer is quite obvious if you are knowledgeable of Japanese voice actors/actresses. Akio Ohtsuka, who does Snake's voice in the Japanese version, is the son of Chikao Ohtsuka, who does the Japanese voice of Dr. Eggman.

Oh, by the way, http://youtube.com/watch?v=kz4yPQ01laY. I thought it was funny. XD

-After I unlocked all the characters and stages, I just didn't want to bother playing by myself. If the online were less laggy, I'd think differently

The reason I play alone is so that when I'm playing other people, I don't get totally destroyed. No computer can amount to the unpredictability of a real person, though.

Like when you and I got demolished by Ganondorf and Olimar, Bird Person?

It annoys me that Sakurai apparently only cared about games on the NES or from the last 5 years. The SNES gets no love. I mean, the SNES is just as old now as the NES was when Melee came out, why doesn't Nintendo consider it retro yet?

I don't think it matters what system the characters came from (except for the Ice Climbers, who were explicitly included to be arcade-style NES representatives). The fact is, most of Nintendo's franchises were established on the NES, or at least really early on... notice, in All-Star mode, the jump between Pokémon, from the later years of the Game Boy, to Pikmin, from just before Melee.

Of course, there are some complications--Ike isn't that old, but he's way back there because of the oldness of Fire Emblem and Marth. Ness and Lucas appear earlier than they would if not for MOTHER, even though Ninten is absent.
