I'm fairly certain it's all shitposting.

Because Meleequeers don't actually care about the game itself, they only care about the e-celeb dicksucking drama that happens at the events where these Melee tourneys are held.

But then why does Melee have one of the largest local scenes where no e-celebs go

It doesn't.

Because this is a sign that Melee is about to be dropped as a main stage game at all FGC events and Melee autists are literally incapable of ever moving on. Just like the rest of us have to do when new games come out.

>SamSho 2019
Fucking wat

Name one fighting game besides Jive and Tekken with a larger local scene

It really doesn't. That's a meme perpetuated by the few Melee players out there. Melee has the smallest scene of all the major games.

Had a damn good run. Just scared that UNIST and ShoDown won’t be able to pick up the slack

>yeah, how dare you play a game that isn't the newest one
how's MvCi and SFV going for you

SEETHING ULTIMATEFAGS

Melee has something you shitty game doesn't trophies, but actually GOOD!

Ultimate has shitty recycled art with spirits, not even woth anyones time. Melee will never die out with features like these.

This such a pathetic falseflag.

MvC and Street Fighter you goddamn zoomer shit.

Brawl had trophies too. Can we expect Meleefags to finally move over to Brawl now?

>what is Jive

You don't see MVC 3 or 2 do you? TOs didn't put those back in because Infinite flopped. SFV is the newest SF and currently has the largest SF scene. I don't see what your point is.

4 also had trophies

I don't even play Ultimate, you autist.

Why would Ultimate fags be seething if they're too busy training for evo?

>SFV has the largest scene

It's a game that was asked not to be listed.

Melee still has like 3 or 4 EVO-like tournaments. It’d still better off than even the likes of SFV if it ever got dropped from EVO for any reason.

>people being happy a game with community, viewership and participant support will be dropped in favour of games that paid to be there

people are somehow surprised when the game that's been at EVO almost the most out of any other game and has gigantic logistical issues is passed up when it gets a sequel that isn't garbage

dropped from evo in favour of meme games like samurai showdown

No, people are happy to see the insufferable community that is Melee in misery.

>you shitty game doesn't trophies
Man at least work on your bait you chode

I'm not saying you can't play it. Play whatever you want. But don't get pissed of when everyone else doesn't cater to you when it's long past time to move on.

how is it insufferable

melee has been the second biggest game at evo for years now (usually behind SF, last year behind DBFZ) so yeah when such a big title is dropped, you should be surprised

Because he doesn't like it. Or sucks at the game. Or he's an autist. There are probably dozens of reasons.

because other's told him to feel that way

The viewership might have been good, but the money earned from that was probably much less due to the aforementioned gigantic logistical issues

Melee doesn't even hold the record.
Let some other games get played.

Thank god. Now I can have Melee threads without fake fgc fags being outraged about a 18 year old game.

Who actually cares about melee not being at EVO anyway. If your a real melee player you'd be happy for these reasons.

Ultimate finally killed melee

lol no, the logistics dont matter one bit
melee was dropped because other games' publishers paid to be at evo
nobody pays for melee, it's purely grassroots

If there continue to be Melee majors, perhaps the "god" thing can finally go away? I want to see more new players doing well without being immediately set aside by the usual suspects.

Ah yes, SNK, the company that literally just came back from Bankruptcy had so much money lying around to pay Mr. Wiz off

imagine being this retarded

You literally cannot deny the logistical problems of CRTs and GameCubes due to legal reasons.

They're still gonna come and scream "STINKY DAY" or some other moronic shit

Don't they get a large amount of the crt tv's from Crimson Blurs vault? And consoles/games from gaming generations?

>UNIB

Smash fags are so retarded holy shit

It doesn't take much since Melee pays nothing.

>who cares if it’s at EVO
>I-it will be back anyways!! Just you see!!!
Sending mixed messages here user

The "god" thing is close to being completely finished, provided the game lives another two or three years it'll probably be a completely different group of people by the end.

There’s 3 Melee locals within driving distance of my house. Any other game, even Ultimate, has 1 at best.

Does any fanbase ever think they're insufferable?

>perhaps the "god" thing can finally go away
except that has been happening?

> Not Nintendo paying to promote Ultimate over Melee
Do you even tinfoil bro?

>Also I'm not talking about unist, love that it's a main game

It's more of a matter of setting it all up. CRTs are fucking heavy and I'm almost certain we'd have switched to monitors and dolphin if it wasn't for Nintendo

Ultimate was the last drop in a very full bucket for melee. I think it gave a lot of pros or wannabes an escape route for a dying game. Just look at how they're handling wobbling let alone talking about a puff ban just because hbox is the only god to not move over to ultimate

Literally in that post he says he's not talking about UNIST.

Nintendo does pay for the newest Smash game to be at EVO, yes. It's simple marketing. However, in the past that simply lead to two Smash games. It's not an either/or deal unless you factor in all the other games paying to be there.

this
anyone trying to use the "muh logistics" excuse doesn't know that the melee events are pretty much run by smash T.O's anyway

SNK is literally listed as an Evo sponsor, this isn't a secret or conspiracy my man

The god thing only refers to 5 people who were the most dominant during a specific timeframe, like how Ken is still called King of Smash despite not even being top 100 anymore.

You say that, but you've never played more than a few rounds of SamSho against a human, if any

You never know, some miracle could have happened and someone could have figured out HBox. Melee has had plenty of twists and turns over the years, like how Wobbling was a non-issue until recently.
But Smash not being on the main stage, and Ultimate actually being popular, means that the older players will finally drift away, and younger ones can start competing with one another without having to battle the soap opera crew.

>One man (HBox) finally killed Melee
>and it took the sacrifice of another game series that was previously killed by one man (Marn)
complete pottery

Gods haven't been a thing for a while, the only reason the title sticks around is for legacy reason. They used to be gods because they would literally never lose a game to anyone that wasn't a god, let alone a series. But that's not the case anymore. There have been plenty of "godslayers" like Leffen or Plup in recent years and going by tournament results, gods like M2K or Mango are very much mortals nowadays.
The only gods that really stayed untouchable were Armada and PPMD and they're both retired.

the vault is in cali lmao

>Not just admitting it makes no sense to replace melee. I'm down to see more games at evo, but it looks like they shot themselves in the foot.

You're absolutely right, and I honestly wish people would stop insisting its anything beyond that.

There's a lot of bitterness built up about Melee over the past 20 years: definitely including the time before Melee was accepted at EVO. People were mad about Melee from seemingly day one, and the old jabs and memes have hardened in to accepted "truths", such that people can make any sort of rumor about Melee players and Anons will believe it. Leffen literally gave his winnings away at last Evo, but everyone forgot about that in favor of more Stinky Day memes.

Why are melee autists chimp out when their garbage ain't on stage? This is karma

why the fuck is everything ever repeated at all whatsoever now a "meme" ?
knock knock jokes aren't memes but they're repeated

Why are third worlders like you type like illiterate monkeys?

Calling recurring jokes a meme is a meme.

> why the fuck is everything ever repeated at all whatsoever now a "meme" ?
Don't blame me, this is literally a thing that came about when I wasn't on Yea Forums for a time. I came back to discuss a show I like and now everybody is calling any sort of Joke, Rumor, Falsehood, Fact, and happening a 'Meme'.

I'm glad Fighterz is back, and the salt is fucking hilarious

CRTs weigh considerably more and take longer to setup properly.

Then why aren’t we seeing anyone come in and stomp away the competition?

You honestly can’t believe the Melee community is just pure and without sin dude. The FGC wasn’t the most welcoming to them back in the day and that was the source of a lot of bitterness, but god damn Meleefags have done some heinous shit before.

>Connect CRT to power source
>Connect console to power source

oh goodness what a tedious ordeal i can’t believe anyone would put up with this

Actually, I feel Nintendo themselves got Melee killed at EVO. They're taking the eSports promotion angle more seriously for Ultimate and in terms of sales it's a game that's actually caught on unlike Sm4sh WiiU. No use in having their own 18 year old predecessor game compete with their new platform and product anymore.

As much as I'm a Melee fan, it really does need to go. Its competitive scene has gotten so stale and only got to live thanks to Brawl's gameplay and Sm4sh's scene both being trainwrecks.

modded Project M is the true patrician choice for both competitive and casual fun anyway.

I dont get the hate. I love fighting games and I love melee, just as many top fgc players do. Leffen has shown there is at least some carry over in the skill it requires to be good at both. So why are we celebrating melee dying? I feel like twitch chat and Yea Forums are the only places that feel this way. I can understand the game is old but if third strike still had a scene would everyone be acting the same way? We dont know because people who played 3rd strike have quit or been forced to play garbage ass rehashes that have only dumbed down the series and driven the core fanbase away. Is it envy? Is it because melee players still play the game they enjoy and have a stronger community than virtually any other game on the stage? I dont know, but I'm sorry to everyone who plays melee and enjoys watching it every year like I do. F from me.

Jigglypuff is a brawl character in melee

Certainly not, no 'buts'.
I even admit to having a period where I was a tryhard faggot about it, something I regret to this day, though I thankfully have not repeated it.

Meleefags would have had to done something to get the level of ire they get now, though once upon a time, that thing was
Playing a Nintendo baby kiddie game". That was my first exposure to the Melee vs FGC thing for me more than a decade back. People on FG forums and the like would go on tyraids about the prestige and unfathomable skill that fighting games had, how Smash was a kiddie game for kiddies and worthy only of ridicule, infinite repeats of "party game", it was all the same stuff you hear now, just in a much rougher and less quip-y fashion. Being that I liked Smash, Street Fighter, and SNK games in general at the time, I was bummed and annoyed about all the fighting, and flabbergasted with people saying that Smash players only played Smash. I was in College at the time, and saw daily that that was not the case. It took years for me to actually see the divide happen in tournaments, and that was after all the shit flinging was already an established thing.

When people say that Smashfags could be insufferable, I believe it, as Melee turning out to be deep attracted the sort of casual player who, hoping to get prestige points, started trying to play the game the "right" way with items off and such. I can really see how that can annoy people, and I won't defend that. Stuff like booing GG and Smash 4 isn't excusable either.

But concerning the myriad of rumors and legends about how Smash players poo in pools and other such, I taught myself to tune it out since it at times comes out as exaggerated or outright false (Like 'Stinky Day" being ascribed to Melee and not Sm4sh). But these are the things people focus on the most and repeat the most.

years and years of hate originally stemmed from the whole "smash isn't a fighting game" thing

Leffen's only claim to fame in fighting games is getting blown the fuck out by actual players, pulling the plug in ranked matchmaking, and using the "I don't even okay this game" option select

Melee kids is mad about Sakurai not releasing a successor to Melee while Smash 4 kids are mad their game is shit and get even madder when Melee fags tell them that it is

Smashfags generate genuine animosity toward each other, much greater than the FGC players who have almost become accustomed to Smash's presence in their venues.

Smash community devolves into calling each other stinky autists and telling melee players to kill themselves on twitter now that Evo has finally done away with Melee.

Basically Smash brothers attracts the absolute worst types of people who unironically do have hygiene and social skill problems, which is probably why it's Yea Forums's #1 favorite franchise.

>all these post documentary babies seething

Melee got me into fighting games as much as it is different than traditional fighters I'd still call it a platform fighter. I think its useful to have smash at evo as a good way to bridge the gap considering traditional fighters can be a little intimidating while smash feels very pick up and play. And I think most can agree sm4sh was a huge downgrade competitively and that's why a lot of people shit on it. If you look at ultimate though, you have so much crossover. People love ultimate and melee the smash community has never been tighter.

>WHY DON'T YOU PLAY VIDEO GAMES PROFESSIONALLY AND LOSE AT THEM

melee kids Lol

When the community is starting to consider (even a tiny bit) outright banning a character just because one guy is really good with her, it's time to say goodbye. Being relevant for 18 years is impressive and the legacy competitive Melee has had is astonishing but it's now reaching a point of self-cannibalization in a desperate bid to survive.

Accept death like a man already. Nothing lasts forever.

>Leffen does damage to discussion about a particular thing
no surprise here

It sucks to say, but this game's been getting boring for years. Fox's dominance isn't good, but it's even worse that he and Falco are the only fun characters to watch.

Being discourage to jump in a fucking platform fighter is stupid as all shit.

You and I will die before Melee does, accept it.

Fox has only been getting less dominant and SHFFL is still the go-to approach option for most characters in the game. What are you taking about?

Sorry but i’m not about to stop going to locals because the game is no longer at Evo.

I accepted that Melee isn't everything. I accepted that EVO doesn't need Melee. I accepted that Melee is stale and that we need to move forward.

You on the other hand are just in denial and crying about it. Let other games get their spotlight. Let other people get the chance to experience new events. Now quit being a little shit. Sit down, be humble, and accept your fate. Your time has come. Your game is done.

Get over it. Evo shouldn't have to revolve around revolting manchildren like you who are so obsessed with a stale 10 year old game that they dedicate their entire life to it.

>I accepted that Melee isn't everything. I accepted that EVO doesn't need Melee. I accepted that Melee is stale and that we need to move forward.

Nobody's making you play or watch it. Thousands of people still do, and because they actually enjoy it instead of doing it out of obligation like ultimate and other games.

I love this retarded "STOP ENJOYING SOMETHING BECAUSE IT'S OLD" logic. Imagine if someone constantly complained about you living in your house because it's "old" and suggesting you move into a box on the street because it's new.

It's fine that Melee isn't in EVO. The pathetic thing is that you and the other anti-Melee people are CELEBRATING that it isn't in for abritrary reasons that you didn't come up with yourselves. And I'm laughing at you because 3-4 years from now there's still going to be people playing Melee, and it's still going to make you seethe because someone else on Yea Forums told you that final destination is the only stage and fox is the only character allowed, and you're still going to try to convince everyone it's dead.

The fact that it's been 5 years since people have complained about Melee for.....existing and this is literally your only win. It HAS to be what "kills" melee because there's been nothing else to celebrate. Go ahead and spend the rest of your life being mad at people for playing a different game than you.

This is the conundrum of being 'hardcore'. Games are at their core entertainment. The entertainment of fighting games is the experience of improving a skill, but it is still entertainment, passing time. Not only do you not have to take it seriously, you're actually not supposed to in the eyes of many, and things like this happening show why. Once the game you loved is over, you're unlikely to apply the skills you learned in the game elsewhere, unless another game like it shows up. People forget that the same is true for competitive multiplayer games because they're so caught up in training, practicing, and figuring out how to increase their skill, but they're still just passing time.

Melee has no progression like other games, user. It's a solved puzzle and everyone knows it. Melee events now are so predictable that everyone is sick of it. Shit like that is why your dumb game isn't coming to evo. Take the L already.

do they host the melty tourney on the roof of Evo or in the bathroom?

they basically made an in memoriam video for melee. I doubt it's coming back

>says this when he complained about melee the past 5 years

>its gone because its shit!

So every other gane is worse because they get dropped in less time? lmao

No. Because it's old the bone to the point that it needs to be replaced. Like an old rusty car.

This example only works if there's literally no other vehicles.

>user is literally blind

Everybody knows Melee requires more training than any of these other fighting games and I'm pretty sure Melee would still be in there if people could vote on this but oh well. Gotta make room for ultimate amirite guyz?

As a UNIfag, the community has gone full retard and are opening themselves up for ridicule next year when we're back in the side tourney. No one believes the game will be on the mainstage again, but you know how people are.

M2K and Plup are both on break from Melee either way.

you really understimate the power of whales and weebs

accepting a shitty game just because it's new is the most retarded shit i've ever heard. even the worst companies attempt to fix there newer games when the majority of people dislike a change. fighting games don't do this because you dumbasses are content with staying on the same shitty game until the new one fixes it. This is why people preferred melee of sm4sh. the only good thing about melee not being at evo is that ultimate is a good game.

If that was the case then the FE games would be selling well because of Heroes.

I just find it pretty amazing that Melee was a main stage game for fucking 5 years straight, without any sponsorship from Nintendo, plus requiring relatively huge amounts of space and bothersome equipment in comparison to other fighting games.
Kind of wild that it wasn't dropped sooner, but I guess entrants are really what matters for the money. Melee was definitely declining in entrants.

I wouldn't really take Zero's opinion of anything. He might have previously been a really good player, but his opinions are terrible. Just look at any of his tier lists that he made. Has no idea what makes a character good.
He also stated Sm4sh was shit when he wasn't winning every tournament anymore. Sm4sh is shit tho, but not because Zero says it is

it wasn't on the main stage 2017

No this is the actual reason nobody likes meleefags. Smash 4 fags know the game has problems, melee has problems too so why are they starting a game war with a community that's almost entirely separate from them? If meleefags didn't try to stir up shit ever since Brawl released and just played their fucking game nobody would mind them but they just go around being assholes to everyone. The problem isn't smash in general it's melee and the spectator esports faggots.

But apparently not enough to kill people's interest in it. People dislike the HBox Jiggs but not enough to quit melee, playing or viewership, and people want to see everything else around it, and maybe even see someone defeat Hbox

Tr4sh started the problem by being a shit game and everyone going along because it was the hype new Nintendo game and people wanting to ride the hype. The fact that Sm4sh died the second Ultimate came out and there weren't even whispers of demand for it like how SFII or III musters to this day pretty much objectively proved that Tr4sh was a dud that rode on being the new Smash game. The same thing would probably happen to SFV the moment something better came along.

I don't know why loyalty to gameplay over brand is getting attacked though. You'd think Yea Forums would be on board with not serving corporate cash demand.

Lighten up, man. It's funny. People post memes on this board every day and you don't see me sperging out about le wojack face.

I didn't mention anything about melee. But Tr4sh's state transcended internal community strife in that everybody was being quiet about the elephant in the room of the state Smash4 because Cloud and Bayonetta were in it. I actually only wish that Street Fighter fags made as much of a ruckus because it's amusing to see them bitch about a game they play anyway because SFV is the current one like as if it's cosmic law that the newest entry of anything is what must be played.

So anyone that did enjoy playing Smash 4 was what, just brainwashed into thinking they are having fun or some shit?

Yes because melee players have behaved like faggots ever since Brawl came out, like I said. People didn't just randomly start hating melee players or see them as "dumb old fogeys who can't move on", people see them as annoying autists that constantly attack every other fighting game for having design goals different from melee's accidental metagame.

hey dumbass, the CRTs you use for weeklies are going to be used constantly, what do you think the CRTs EVO has to hoard for your shitty group are doing in between EVOs? They are sitting in goddamn warehouses collecting dust and roaches so they can be lugged out once a year to satisfy your terminal autism, please use some goddamn critical thinking.

A lot of Japanese players stopped going because they were focusing on supporting EVO Japan, which ended up being mismanaged terribly. Everyone is too distracted by shitting on Melee to realize how much GG just got screwed over.

So is anyone going to EVO this year? I'm planning to participate in SCVI, but I fully expect to go 0-2 since I'm still pretty shit at the game and only recently got back into it once I got more time. Hopefully I'll be a lot sharper by the time EVO starts.

Then that sounds like EVO's fault for not storing them properly, and not necessarily the Melee players.

I'm pretty sure they're actually in planes all of the time because as far as I know the same CRTs are being used for a variety of tourneys.

Are Meleebabs so spiteful that they hate someone over a "Finally..." tweet

I'm fine with melee going, but it's history in EVO is a bit weird. It showed up as one of the main events in 2007, then kinda fucked off until 2013 and got included as the main game until now. So overall, it had a good run but it didn't really show up until much later. Assuming Wikipedia's entry for the EVO tourneys are accurate.

context is important

TBF the GG players are being pretty cool as they biggest anime game not named Dragonball they have admitted that they dont need EVO and are happier for smaller games like UNIEST to get a shot.

Also a lot of GG players don't even like EVO believing it to be a pretty poor tournament that needs updating preferring events like Combo Breaker

French Bread definitely didn't considering it's poverty.

SamSho probably was but it could end up being great and worth the slot anyways.

Granted, I'm fine with Ultimate replacing it. UNIT looks pretty dope too, I'm gonna pick it up.

Is it finally time for Meleefags to move on? Has Ultimate managed to be the game to kill Melee? I sure fucking hope so. I'm sick of the Melee community refusing to play the new game because it doesn't have autistic mechanics.

>SNK kuso
Fuck you, man. Samsho is fightan kino.

What's so bad about wanting to play a game that varies mechanically from the other entries? I can understand hating the culture behind it but I can't understand hating the fact that people want to play older games.

I just wanted Killer Instinct god dammit;

Samsho looks like bootleg USFIV and the sword gimmick is gay and adds nothing

>everyone saying melee is dead forever

The game had like a 6 year streak of being on EVO, which is pretty impressive. Even some big games don't make it that long. There will probably be a mini-tourney on the side at EVO too, just not one of the main events. And there's a good number of dedicated tourneys available.
The main downside is that it won't get that much growth or exposure, but it's still a very well known game.

the new doc is on it's way out soon, also I think the game still has growth and exposure but it's just at a slower rate than previous years

BROS! WHAT THE FUCK!

The most annoying thing about all of this shit is that none of this autism about having two different Smash games each EVO would of happened had Sakurai not been a big weeney when creating Brawl and fucking the core gameplay up.

That's literally what caused the divide, if Brawl (and all games onward) had just been an official Project M from the get go then Melee would of died forever ago and we'd be under one flag, as things were before Brawl.

I think even if Ultimate came out there wouldn't be the fucking divide. Melee would be like 64 is now; a game a select number of people are passionate about but it's not beloved this hard.

>Meleefags: "How can Evo drop us, we bring in the most money with our viewership and attendance numbers. They'll come crawling back next year when they see all the money they're missing."

This is true except for
>Wizard only cares about money now
because everyone knows he always did

This is so ironic because Liquid is now stuck with 5 unemployed idiots on their roster after EVO 19 lineup was announced.

Evo is not even important to the melee scene, everyone complains about the schedule and matches being way too rushed.

its sad, but melee won't die because no Evo.

I remember they literally had to bribe him with a waifu pillow to get Anime Fighters at EVO.

Doesn't Liquid sponsor players of super dead games, or am I thinking of EG?

See you next year in GBFV at Evo 2020

Attached: ffbec76213339da67ef7a1250bed04c2.png (1461x1770, 1.24M)

they both still sponsor dead melee players

yeah but actually answer my question

Everyone wants to "get theirs," and sees others "getting theirs" as potential "theirs" they could've gotten for themselves. This has been going on since the donation drive. It's unfortunately a very common display of human greed and tribalism. It's probably for the best that SF, DBFZ, Tekken, NRS, Smash, etc. are all getting their own separate majors and leagues, even to the point of there being dedicated Melee majors and dedicated Smash majors that don't feature the other (like Frostbite, just recently). No one wants their entire scene to collapse because one TO like Mr. Wizard woke up and decided to give them the Caesar thumb down. EVO started losing its relevance after it started losing its underdog unity.

Mojang were making retarded decisions with Minecraft way before Microsoft had anything to do with it.

Might be thinking of EG, none of the games Liquid sponsors can be called dead. Maybe Artifact?

So now you wonder why Nintendo isn't giving EVO any money or holding any "competitive" Smash tournaments given how evergreen their 1st parties are.

melee has plenty other majors besides evo.

Attached: 333893.jpg (225x350, 48K)

None of which hold the same prestige, meleebaby.

evo isn't even melee's biggest tournament in terms of prizepot summit takes the cake for that one.

Attached: 1550695489114.png (567x644, 495K)

Nintendo made smart move letting the community organize events itself and providing sponsorship/cover venue fees, like Genesis's Sunday arena. It's a very no-strings-attached way to support the community and they never have to personally deal with controversies like Nightmare and Hyuga, the way Capcom had to with Noel Brown.

They're clearly taking baby steps to do more, they're just being very cautious because they have an image to protect.

Because when it comes to fighting games Yea Forums fundamentally doesn't understand the mechanical differences. In fact, when it comes to games in general, they only ever care about things like story; so of course that incentivizes keeping up with sequels and not staying with one game for too long.
But this really only applies to fighting games. They're passably observant when it comes to other genre's differences.

Prestige doesn't equal prizepot.

>prestige
Ah yes, nothing says “prestige” like competing against smelly FGCucks who job to furfags regularly.

i'm not denying non of those majors will come close to being an evo winner but melee players/esports orgs are well off even with melee not being at evo anymore.

Attached: 1550625492859.jpg (712x949, 110K)

FGC is nothing more but a bunch of white faggots acting black and black faggots acting hard. I'm just saying EVO matters more than people think.

Melee will live well even without an EVO
But you can't deny there's less of an incentive to sponsor players who can't get into the biggest of them all because their game was dropped

i can't understand why people move on every several years to a new game, when they could play something unchanging.

>FGC is nothing more but a bunch of white faggots acting black and black faggots acting hard.

Thats mostly just the SF scene particularly in the detroit area

Not that the other half is good either Anime FGC are generally just shitty SJW's

It could be EG. All I remember is having a discussion with somebody about a player and they said the only reason they were employed was because "EG/Liquid doesn't get rid of legacy talent".

>Melee has something you shitty game doesn't trophies, but actually GOOD!
holy shit the english is seafagable

hearing melee retards shitting on actual fighting games not platform fighters like samurai shodown and unist like anyone should care that they'll get way less entrants is so satisfying. They'll never get it.

this
i can't believe they think they look like the good guys after doing that
and it's not like samsho or unist fans went out of their way to shit on melee first either, meleefags drew first blood on them specifically and then they're like HUH Y R U BACKLASHING AT ME like they're innocent

Melee fags are by far the most self entitled group of the FGC and a lot of groups are pretty self entitled, they think they are innocent because they think they are justified by their numbers

my fucking face when they think SNK bought their way into EVO, hilarious

swear to god man, they need to be taught a physical lesson or something
NOT THAT I AM GOING TO DO ANYTHING, FIBS, I AM JUST KIDDING OF COURSE

Hey as long as I can still see decent amount of competition, have some locals & decently sized tournaments, and find matches for netplay if i'm too lazy to go out, I'm fine with whatever happens to Melee. It can go on more silently like some other iconic fightans. It's not like we got particularly robbed too, it's pretty great that another grassroots community managed to push their fightan up there. I would have maybe been upset if that 9th spot had gone to, say, an unannounced 2nd NRS game.

whats with all these melee threads today? what really happened? the game couldn't "die" because it's not like its being officially supported or anything right?

Because the goal of the game is to knock your opponent off the stage, rather than deal enough damage to kill them like in literally every other fighting game. Yes, this includes Divekick and Bushido Blade.
You can play Melee as if it was a fighting game, but it really is not a fighting game. At most, it's a mixed genre.
I have well over 1000 hours in it though and I love it to death, but it's really okay if Melee isn't considered a fighting game.

Yo I’m actually crying

oh, i'm sure ultimatefags smell like shit too. doesn't change the fact that meleefags and hygiene are like oil and water.

>Melee community shits on everyone for 10 years
who is everyone?
also
>implying fgc hasn't shit talked smash since day 1

EVO dropped it and apparently there can only be nine games alive at the same time no matter how many times they've been at EVO previously.

if the fgc is so nasty and mean, why have you guys tried so hard to ride on its coattails with your party game all these years?

because "not muh traditional fighting game"

It won't die.

>giving a shit what other fgc’s think

that was never really the case, when it came down to it, it was really more about acknowledging/respecting it's competitive existence

the things that transform smash as a qualifier can be applied to things like souls games or even halo, yes concepts like spacing and neutral exist but they are shared among many genres, in order to qualify it people say "characters fight each other" but its so generic you can use that to describe RE6 for instance

why should anyone respect melee's competitive existence when it requires banning or turning off most of the game's content and exploiting glitches that would have long since been patched out of a modern game? especially when the respect will never be reciprocated by meleefags?

>fatass meleefag makes food analogy

>>implying fgc hasn't shit talked smash since day 1

Big difference is the FGC wasn't begging to be Smash to be a part of it.

Smash up and decided one day it wanted to be taken seriously and the FGC obliged but Smash kept being fucking autistic to the point were the FGC is regretting the decision of letting them in by being the most demanding self righteous crew besides marvel and SF

>and exploiting glitches
What glitches?

>smash is not a fighting game
Then CSGO is not an FPS just cause it doesn't play like CoD, Quake, or Overwatch.
Then Witcher is not an RPG because it doesn't play like Morrowind or Daggerfall.
It's still under the same genre as a subgenre.

>#OneUnit

Only oldfags will remember this.

i actually like smash, but why are you guys so desperate for it to be a fighting game? just because it's not a fighting game doesn't mean it's not good. it's a party game like mario kart, and people love mario kart.

Haha cope seething! Do I fit in too?

ssbwiki.com/Category:Glitches_(SSBM)

Is this the part where somebody says "because the physics engine is working as intended its not a glitch" even though all glitches are just unintended consequences of a game following its own rules?

oh are meleefags finally dead

meleefags actually seek out broken controllers in order to do glitched inputs, and then they'll deny that they rely on glitches to appear "hardcore."

How many of these glitches are used in competitive play?

I always love seeing these posts where you so desperately want to shit on something without understanding what's actually going on.

Only double jump cancel really and even then I don't think it's really a glitch as with peach and yoshi you dip when you go to use your second jump which is what causes it.

their iq is too low to do critical thinking
