After an hour or so watching different strategies with different characters, i see many "This won't be so good in a couple of years" and similar stuff, you get the idea.

Do you really think that Brawl is a game with eras where moves and strategies only will be good for a short period of time? In my head this is bull****, post your thoughts.

I think not, from what i've seen so far camping will dominate the metagame for a long time, if not throughout the entire of Brawl's lifespan.

Many Melee pros tend to dislike Brawl's game mechanics since not all of them are like Melee's (L-Cancel, Wavedash, etc.). Plus, they get irritated whenever their fighter ends up tripping.

EEEEEH! Wrong answer. We don't dislike them because they aren't like Melee. We dislike them because defensive options far outweigh offensive options, leading to a best strategy that involves camping and spamming.

IE not like in Melee, where offensive strategies often were the best ones.

The word "often" is a keyword in your post Romancer. Sure offensive options were powerful, but so were options like playing a super campy Peach / Falco. Whereas in Brawl camping is always dominant.

On the other hand, no one forces you to camp and spam. I think i realize why there is a myth about tourney players don't play this game for fun. I and my friends at least have tons of fun playing this game, offensively.

EDIT: But this thread's initial purpose was not discussing the difference in melee / brawl strats.
