Yes, I've only played it for one day, but I'm really digging it so far. Some may be disappointed that not much has changed from Melee. I think it was a wise choice. The game is a refinement of Melee in many ways and an expansion in others.
I've had epic battles and marathon sessions with both the original Smash. Bros. and Melee and don't expect it to be any different with this game. The game is still strangely addicting, easily accessible, and deeper than it first appears.

Hello I wanted to share my thoughts on the SSBB game. Although this game has several new features, I was in part disappointed. Mostly because the physics engine are so different compare to Melee that you have to play differently in this game. The character that I most use is Link, and to tell you the truth, though Brawl Link looks better, I still prefer the Melee Link, and so with other characters as well. Another thing that I didn't like was that this game doesn't have past stages like the DK and Dream Land stages that were also in Melee, oh and yes, Final Destination from Melee is better than Brawl's, though the music is cool. The online experience wasn't as I expected. Not only there's server connection problems with this game, but the online game is TOO limited. It doesn't have like stats, records or whatever is thats helps you keep track of your online gaming like there is in PLAYSTATION NETWORK or XBox Live games. It doesn't have options for your matches, I mean you can't choose whether you want "free-4-all", "3 player" contest or a "1v1" contest and you can't set rules like stock, time, etc. it has to be a 2 minute contest only. You can set rules in Friends Mode, but it would be better if you could do it in Anyone Mode as well. I hope this changes in the future, because as I said before, the online experience for this game was not as I expected. And for last, the most important thing that I was VERY DISAPPOINTED with was the removal of the WAVEDASH technique, along with few other techniques. I don't know to this point if there's a new way to do it, but you can't do it the same way you do it in Melee. I would've love so much to do it in Brawl. All this and few other little details were the things that I dislike from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Aidyn,
First you have to set up your Wii for online. If you're already set up online just select "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" from the title screen. It's pretty self-explanatory from there.
