I hate Brawl. By that, I mean that I love Brawl; which in itself means that I hate it.
I've never loved something so much that has filled me with so much rage.
The Bun will confirm - I yell, I curse profusely, and I have even become physicly violent. It's a marvel the police havn't shown up at my door yet for noise complaints.
The satisfaction of my few (only, or less then 40%) victories does not equal the disatisfaction, and sheer emotional outrage of my defeats.
I havn't mastered the controls, and it's hard to even attempt to do so when the arenas go through so many drastic and bizare changes.
It's hard enough on a straight floor with just a bot - multiple levels, shifting/disapearing platforms and random damage-causing events are not helpful.
I've always been a poor loser, and it's something I've struggled very hard to improve on; but Brawl has taken all of that rage and loosed it.
Part of it is simply losing when I'm trying so hard to improve, but a substancial portion I guess to be that I know I'm losing because I'm just plain not very good.
I've never loved something so much that I hate so strongly.
D.O.P.R

Also, i'd suggest using a Gamecube controller, should make things easier to get used to.
Hah, just kidding.
I am married...
...and I do hate her.

Best bet, start with 99 lives Brawl, then put up one opponent and change his difficulty to one (Super wimpy), then just fight over and over again.
How to recover:
Most characters, save for a small few (Yoshi), can triple jump. Jump, Double Jump (jumping in mid air), and then your Up+B "Recovery move."
Your character choices are certainly interesting, Falco and Bowser, which are on the opposite ends of the fighting spectrum (Falco is fast and light, Bowser is slow and heavy). Take their strengths into account when you fight. If you're Bowser, don't mind too much getting smacked up a bit (though, avoiding damage is always good). Falco, you're looking at a hit-and-run tactic. Smack them around a bit, then retreat. It won't be any time soon when you can use Falco or Fox in Kamikaze maneouvers (using the speed of your attacks to keep your opponent occupied to not counter).
Relax, my dragon friend, and embrace the explosion. Every time you die is a learning experience. And best to learn against the computer when you won't hurt the bun's feelings.
Hehe, I remember when one of my friends in Highschool was playing Smash 64, and getting his ass handed to him by a Level 9 Pikachu, and he was slamming his controller against the (tile) floor screaming, "PIKA PUNK! DIE PIKA PUNK!"
