Everybody, even the Washington Post, likes Brawl. There's a good chance that even your girlfriend likes Brawl, because it's just so easy to pick up and play.
So how are the character tiers shaking down in your homes? Who are the favorites and the anti-characters? Where I am, Samus and Zelda are frequently treated as "too good" characters; being able to effectively swap movesets mid-combat between their two forms seems to dominate the game. No one's really trying anti-character stunts yet, but Metaknight is pretty popular when desperation sets in.
I'm especially wondering if you're noticing any characters handle SSE's platforming sequences better than others. Right now Kirby seems to have an easier time ferreting everything out of a stage than anyone else. Which makes sense--a lot of the SSE level design is very similar to a Kirby game, and just runs into the problem of most characters not being Kirby.
