'''''Brawl-''''' (also known as '''''Brawl Minus''''' or '''''B-''''') is a [[mod]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. ''Brawl-'' was initially created as a parody of the then-popular ''[[Brawl+]]'', which was designed to be balanced through reasonable tweaks to characters; in addition to its name being a pun on the mod, ''Brawl-'s'' goal instead was to give all characters incredible [[buff]]s until they all became equally overpowered, and thus, balanced. ''Brawl-'' notably eclipsed the popularity of ''Brawl+'' after its release, and it was even featured at some tournaments as a side event, such as at [[Apex 2010]]. Its popularity has since been overtaken by ''[[Project M]]'', but ''Brawl-'' still maintains a devoted cult following, and development of the mod has continued into the present day, making it one of the oldest mods for ''Brawl'' that remains in active development. Version 4.2 hotpatched was released on January 4, 2018, and a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVot5VlJlfs Version 5.0 update] was announced on December 12, 2022.

**[[Pichu]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Roy]], [[Dr. Mario]] (all four return after being cut from ''Melee''), [[Ridley]] (who would appear in ''Ultimate''), [[Waluigi]], [[Wario-Man]], and [[Giga Bowser]]<ref>https://twitter.com/BrawlMinus/status/1188299719195398144</ref> are additions to the character roster.

*Handicap is replaced with Custom Buffer, which lets you set the amount of buffer between attacks (With the maximum being 10 frames)

**Angled Camera Mode replaced with All-Star Versus, which allows players to use different characters (or costumes) for each stock. This is done by selecting a character, then deselecting them, and selecting the next character. The order of the characters selected become the order they appear in. Required character selections are based on the stock count; if less characters are chosen than the number of stocks, the remaining stocks loop back to the first character (so selecting Mario, Luigi and Peach in a four stock match will loop back to Mario in stock four). This would later on officially be a feature in the series with the introduction of [[Squad Strike]].

***Should each player select their characters in All Star VS Mode before turning on Team Battle; the characters will not be forced into their team battle costumes akin to ''Smash 4''. Also, the random option will always use the default costumes of the characters even in team battles.

*No random [[tripping]]. Running into or getting hit by [[Banana Peel]]s will still result in tripping, and most moves with hitboxes that contained a chance of tripping are now guaranteed to trip grounded opponents.

*[[Final Destination (SSBB)|Brawl Final Destination]] (ledge collisions have been smoothed, preventing getting caught under them)

*Final Frustration ([[Final Destination (SSBM)|Melee Final Destination]] except the main platform tilts drastically about every minute; replaces [[Distant Planet]]. [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]] also appear in the background playing {{s|wikipedia|rock-paper-scissors}}; plays No Johns (aka:Juicy Fruit) which is a song from the documentary ''The Smash Brothers'')

*[[Fountain of Dreams]] (No character reflections in the water. Terrain reflections accomplished by duplicate models inside the main platform)

*Voice clips of Ridley, Dr. Mario, Pichu, Mewtwo, Roy and Waluigi can still be heard when they are metal.

*Kirby cannot copy the 6 new characters, simply reacting as if trying to copy another Kirby.

*Attempting Classic Mode with one of the 6 new characters will freeze at the end of stage 11 (just before Master Hand).

*Opening the stickers menu in SSE (as well as in the Vault) tends to freeze the game.

*Custom stages cannot be played outside of Stage Builder.

*In training mode, combos and total damage aren’t registered correctly, likely due to the game using the old hitstun system to calculate them.

*In Special Brawl, Element Mode and All Star Mode do not work. Turbo mode also only works on hit.

*During Challenger Approaching events, if the player is using the same character as the one they are trying to "unlock", both the player and AI will have the same palette swap.
