Gah! whats this? i was watching some gameplay videos and the gameplay seems so slow is it just me or has anybody else nnoticed this?

If by slow you mean a lot more float and now wavedashing, then I'd say you were right.To help balance the fact that there are characters who can air combo opponents, they had to balance it out by adding a bit of float to the game. You can see this heavily with characters like Sonic who can hang in the air for lengthy periods of time but do a lot more while they're up there. AKA, knocking a character up and then following it up with a chain of small hits to rack up damage as opposed to doing so on the ground like most would.I could also assume that you're saying this because there's no wavedashing. That turned Melee into some quick paced games since people were scrambling around trying to rack up invincibility frames where they could. Since there's nothing like wavedashing, people have to actually roll, dodge and shield and lord forbid think ahead and strategically. The point of it is that if you can catch your opponent off guard and punish them for making mistakes as opposed to scrambling around like little mice.That only describes the no items side of things. But to put it simply, the game is based a lot more around items and the new Smash Ball concept. The whole one on one, no items, on Final Destination can still be done, but it's not how the game is supposed to be played. To get the most out of it, it was made assuming you'd have items on and mass chaos. Which in a nutshell, is what makes Brawl a fun party game. But the fact it's a fighting game makes people take it way too seriously.
