Brawl didn't ruin Smash Bros. Competitive Smashers ruined Smash Bros for themselves. Get rid of Melee's nostalgia and you'll see it was just a rushed, glitched, redundant game. So many stages consist of just a main platform and three smaller platforms in triangle formation, the "clones" are so ridiculously similar compared to Brawl's and they didn't even give them the courtesy of different attack animations (bar 2 or 3 moves, compared to 1/3 to 1/2 of the moveset for Brawl characters), and the characters are imbalanced for competitive, casual, and single player mode play (Even if Brawl Ganondorf and Brawl Captain Falcon are considered horrible, at least they do really well in Very Hard and Intense Classic and All Star Mode compared to Pichu, Melee Kirby, and Melee Bowser). Also, Melee has nothing to offer in terms of co-op multiplayer while Brawl has Co-op adventure modes, stadium modes, and event matches.

Honestly, I'm so sick of Melee fans bashing on Brawl when they can't even see and admit the flaws that Melee had. I admit Melee is good and fun, but even compared to the original, it took quite a lot of things in the wrong direction, especially the redundancy of characters and stages.

And even if Melee was actually better, without the bias and nostalgia from Melee fans and Melee competitive smashers, Gamecube Controllers and Memory Cards would be necessary to play (well, not the latter, but it would really suck not being able to save) and they'd be hard to access compared to accessories for current day systems.
