Charged Smash Attacks are just smash attacks where you kept holding A to hold more power.
Meteor Attacks are attacks that send the opponent straight down. An example would be Young Link's Downward thrust. It's not a smash attack, but it is meteor, if you can manage to do it right. Actually, even the original had meteor attacks. Just not as many, and not every character had them (unbalanced!).
Then there's power sheilding, shielding RIGHT when the enemy makes contact with the shield. Getting the timing perfected on THAT takes a while :D.
I perfectly agree that the original WAS pure gold, the entire reason we were looking forward so much to Melee was because of the original, but now that Melee is out, and totally outclasses it even more so than Perfect Dark's outclassing of Goldeneye, I just don't even see myself ever dusting off the original.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
