I played Brawl over this weekend. I went to a party where someone had a modded Wii and a burned copy of the Japanese version. It was awesome, I loved the levels I played and the characters were pretty good. I played as Wolf, Fox, Falco, Pit, Bowser, and Luigi. My friend told me it was slowed down a bit, and I suppose it was, but it wasn't always noticeable or a hindrance. What the creator says is true - its speed is somewhere between Melee and 64.
Some items were the same, but an interesting newcomer (and I don't remember reading about this on the site) is an item you pick up in 3 or 4 parts. Once you get all parts, a cursor appears on the screen, and you can launch some kind of animal (probably a pokemon, but I couldn't tell you which one, as I'm not a fanatic) at somebody. I never got all the parts, so I didn't experience it for myself.
4 taunts is awesome, but I was too wrapped up in the game to try those out. This experience has made me much more excited for this game. I can't wait until its release, though I have a feeling it'll be a while before my room mate or I can snag a copy. :(
