heres why:
1. game play is much much slower, every match would usually take 4-5 mins or more with just 3 stocks (just like watching 2 jigglypuff match ~_~)
2. there is no combo at all, each grab will throw the characters way out of the range so u cant combo anymore
3. characters can auto sweetspot (aka edge grabbing) now so edge guarding is pointless and edge guarding made the "Melee"
4. every1 dies at so high % and all they do is spending 3 mins trying 2 land a hit in order 2 stack up dmg and then they can kill ( just like 2 nubs moving around trying 2 kill each other with forward smash)
5. some stages take more than 8 seconds to load
so far, the game takes almost no skill and is very limited or impossible to form any sort of combo, in other words, less techno
well, this is what i think
edit, heres another thing i just discovered, u can up B after an air dodge now so that boosts their recovery and takes more time 2 kill now =/
Ok don't wanna start a flame war here, but I would like to argue with some points lol
#1 I agree with, depends on the players
#2 DeDeDe can chain grab, dont need to grab to start a combo
#3 Thats a bad thing for Zero Suit Samus, Olimar, Ivysaur. If someone hog the edge, they can't get back up.
#4 relates to #1
#5 its a big game i guess lol
And about the air dodge, you will constantly lose momentum. Thats all.
