Naw, never did. It's probably too late for my arse anyway. I'd rather play Smash 4 competitively. Watching Melee tournaments is always entertaining though (seriously, how do they do it?)

It's never too late to play Melee. Right now is actually a better time than ever because of how big the community has become. The game is reaching 15 years old and the scene is more alive than ever before. I get it that some people are turned off by Melee because of it's crazy speed, but to me that's what makes it more fun and thrilling.

That's true. It's pretty crazy how long the game's been out and people are still playing it. But I haven't played Melee in years so players could easily beat or destroy me. At least with Smash 4 I won and have a chance lol

The only Smash games I played competitively were Sm4sh and Project M. However Melee is entertaining aswell, I feel as if every smash has a different take on the competetive scene. 64 was really floaty, Melee was fast paced. Fuck brawl, project M is basically melee 2.0 and Smash 4 is a more accessible melee.

i think the worst part about smash 4 is that everyone moves in the air like theyre swimming through jello. movement just felt so limited in that game, even more than in brawl. i might be a huge minority in saying i think brawl is still better than smash 4. i really dont try in any other smash game because they just wont let you. also i forgot, 8 PLAYER SMASH is sakurais worst mistake.

Fucking tired of that little shit. Props to him because he's an amazing player but he's just lame and not hype.

Also FUCKING WIZZY THE GOD DESTROYED THAT TOURNAMENT, with his shitty ass character Captain Falcon. That was one of the most exciting moments ever witnessed seeing Wizzrobe making fourth place. HOLY SHIT this kid is the future. I used to think Wizzrobe was just a lame version of S2J, but god damn I've got some newfound respect for that kid. Without a doubt the peak of what we've seen Falcon do.

(also jk Falcon isn't shitty)

Thou shalt not sleep on the kid(s)

yo im a falco main who doesn't know how to combo and is better at baiting people to do the wrong thing instead. been to one local and it was pretty fun. I really like falcon, fox peach and marth when I'm messing with other characters, which is usually too often but w/e its fun

I'm thinking about buying it for myself and a couple of friends so we can see who is better to use: Link or Kirby. It has been a while since we played it seriously, though.

Me personally, I stuck with the 3DS version; I never had the chance to play the N64 version.
Not yet at least.

YO! I do! Have been for the past year and a half or so. Should play together some time! (internet is too caca for Netplay, sorry!) Originally main Kirby, now I also main Cpt. Falcon.

-Ken R.

P.S. Also, PPMD hype! I really hope he is feeling better physically! And hope he still got it (singles that is)! Doubles with Legend of Zelda Rules was sick though!

It sucks though, when people refer to who is the most inspirational Falco main, many reference Western Dental or Mang0, but many have forgotten/have not heard of Bombsoldier, PPMD, PC Chris, or ShizWiz :( Let alone, even there are hidden bosses in everyone's region! (I mean, not to say, Westballz and Mang0 are super influential too!) Also, Does Everyone Hate Falco (DEHF), or more known as Larry Lurr played Falco in Melee!

Anywho, I love Melee and would love to play with ya'll some time!

i used to but every person in the community is fucking cringey and i'd rather dedicate
my free time to trying to get laid and actually interesting hobbies so that i won't have to try to get good at a game with insufferable personalities just so i don't have to wagecuck the rest of my life.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you

I play Melee competitively as Sheik, and it's a lot of fun! I don't have anything against people who play Sm4sh, but I've akways preferred the speed and weight of Melee.
And what if all love is an act of bravery?

Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?

If it makes you feel any better, it wasn't always this way. I'm glad to see that you found something more worthwhile though. You and the community will both be slightly better off now that you're gone.

Funnily enough, I think Sheik feels a lot faster in Sm4sh, but she's one of the least satisfying characters to play. I know what you mean about the speed/weight. A big part of what kept me coming back to Melee was how much better the edge game is. Few things are more satisfying than gimping a dirty Fox player.

no, i'm pretty sure they've always idolized a retarded manchild(mango) and his even more obnoxious cronies, white knighted his ratchet wife countless times, enabled countless toxicity in various regions and overall brought countless mediocre people into relevancy.
the greatest moment in melee history was when armada BTFO mango at genesis 3(and all the other times after).

I was speaking strictly about the pre-stream era locals where you could meet up with about two dozen otherwise normal people who just liked getting together for some friendlies. You seem to have a very narrow view of the game and its players. Show me on the doll where Mango touched you.

No, melee is really broken (you play with just 4 out of 25 characters if you want to win agains pros), i prefer smash 4 (the most balanced smash in my opinion).

I see what you mean @-Elegant- ! I do agree that Smash 4 is the most balanced Smash game out there.

Yet, I love how melee is "broken" and mainly top tier characters are played to win. In my opinion, this creates even more hype moments when low/mid-tier characters are used and beat top tier characters! Love the set between DJ Nintendo vs. Unknown (Ryan Ford), when it was Bowser vs. Fox and Bowser won. Or look at aMSa where he won tournaments using Yoshi against top tiers such as Marth/Fox, etc. Then there's Triple R (one of my idols), and many more!

The only turn off to this, is that you have to put in lots of work in knowing/playing a low/mid-tier character in order to defeat the top tiers! But the reward is so satisfying when achieving that victory!

Let me know what you think about this, love to discuss!

I saw that match too, whoa, i love when someone uses a low tier character even knowing they will probably lose, unfortunately it is rare in America because most of the tournaments involves money (unlike Japan), so people are very concerned about winning at all costs. I use Yoshi as one of my mains, he isn't bad i gotta say, of course in smash n64 he was a monster lol, but even in the others he is a good character, but really underrated though.

Do you play other smash games btw?

@-Elegant- the only other Smash game I dedicated my time to was Project M.

Haha, yes, I know, it's not an official Nintendo game, but it was the other game I played competitively! Haven't touched it in a while though, been mainly playing Melee recently!

I will say that I have played Smash64, Brawl, and Smash4... casually!
___________________

I see your point on tournaments revolving around money in America - especially when you have to travel far, spend $5-$15 average per tourney, food, etc... But personally I compete to hone my skills and learn from playing in tournament sets, as well as friendlies from people I have never met before! For me, winning cash prize is one of the last reasons for wanting to compete.

Let me guess, aside from Yoshi, is Luigi also your main? Or you like playing Luigi's Mansion? :D

Agreed. I was disappointed that Luigi was only a costume in Super Mario Odyssey. My favorite characters in the Smash Bros series are Pikachu and Luigi, both with a similar Side-B.

I find it funny that a move such as the Reflector is far more useful than its intended purpose, but at the same time it annoys me seeing Melee Fox all the time and his easy up smash K.O's.

That DJ Nintendo Bowser vs Ryan Ford's Fox video is a classic among Melee matches. *Bowser tosses Fox away with his "legit command grab"*

I loved Melee when I was a kid. SSB4 is what Brawl should have been IMO. I thought Brawl was disappointing when it was new. Although my least favorite change by far is Toon Link's down air no longer bouncing off opponents, because he's smaller than Regular Link. I don't like upper blast K.O's either because of Jigglypuff taking long to recover from Rest, and those should be reserved for when time's running out. They gave Fox's English Voice the best Star KO cry in SSB4.

As of now, I have about 280 something trophies in Melee (including Diskun).

@Shadow_Link - just an FYI, you can play Melee on a Wii! Just gotta emulate it, and it works real well - especially with mod pack "20XX"!

Requires a memory card (wii/gamecube), and a thumbdrive (flashdrive)! And of course, a Wii!
