Fuck Melee and fuck Meleefags
Stinky day is over
>has 10+ majors still planned in the future
dab on the smelees tho XD!!!1!!!!1!1!eleven!
>hbox doesn't understand
but he's the one who caused this?
Take a shower stinky
Meleefag mass suicide when
Huge Smashfag here. Thank god Evo finally dropped melee, it's been to long and every year they decided to hold off just made this even bigger than it had to be
Fuck melee players who can't let this go and won't cope with the fact that evo is not the only smash tournament that exists.
Fuck them for being so stuck up with their own game and not even giving a single shit about the game that is taking it's spot, UNIST.
Smashfags*
All of them
S
Nice try Ultimatesfags, at least we have unique trophies, unique Break the Targets, a great adventure mode, a Classic Mode that is random so it never gets boring AND stages like Mute City and Poke Floats.
Face it, Melee will never die with all these features.
good fucking riddance to stinky day
and an extra fuck you to all the faggots shitting on under night and samsho
Wtf was the point of melee in a tournament when Smash 4 is far superior in every way?
Are we supposed to have SF3 Alpha in EVO just cause used to be a good game?
Get with the times, boomers.
The only thing that made melee "competitive" in the first place was that the mechanics are actually bugs that never got fixed.
S
These autists deserve to burn
stinky day was a picture about smash 4, not melee
i dont play fighting games but merkava is really cool so
S
>greenposting where it doesn't work
why would anyone do this
Now the other game.
>every fighting pro can adapt to the next sequel
>meleefags stuck in the past to a niche game
tqbh smash isn't even a real fighting game, it's a frat party fiesta
Cr*ss T*g B*ttle getting in over Guilty Gear is the real crime here.
Melee still had one of the greatest E3 moments though, nothing will ever top this
day of the soap
Why did you quote a pro-melee post
Unrelated to evo and the fgc.
S
Yeah it had great moments Same with SF Alpha, but it's old and busted.
Stinky Day is finally over lads
compete.kotaku.com
Remember when Meleefags were spamming this picture last year?
imagine the smell
>Melee doesn't need evo
>evo needs melee
hahahhahaahahhahaha this is why fgc doesn't take smash seriously melee is a fine fighting game but the fanbase is retarded
fucking sad lmao, time to learn a new game
youtube.com
never played any smash game before so fuck smash and fuck niggers

>all those poor souls getting hyped for vaporware
Not cool, man.
I like both ( & all ) Smash games & I like fighting games in general except for NRS games ( I don't mind MK though, UMK3 is a wonderfully fun mess )
>people say Hbox caused this
what did he do now
wtf is falco doing there, just dodge nigga
He started winning too much
Also one of the reasons Armada quit the game
Don't know, maybe he thought UpAir had too much hitstun and he wouldn't be able to jump or anything, so he defaulted to tech.
WHY WOULD YOU PRESS S, S IS MOVE BACKWARDS YOU FUCKING ZOOMER NEWFAGS

I fucking hate americans so much.
We're trying to move backwards in time senpai ;_;
Nice deflection hambeast
ABSOLUTELY
BOOTY

evo and melee are better off without each other
evo wasn't even in the top 10 best melee events last year, why is everyone so upset over this?
SS for Samurai Shodown
alexa, make bitchy smelee fags shower
i guess there are other things alexa can't make happen
>user doesn't understand
it was retarded fox mains complaining about hxbox instead of adapting. Combined with seriously trying to ban puff and wobbling which looked retarded as fuck when looked at objectively from anyone standing on the outside.
Your game and community is a joke. Hbox didn't do anything but play his character at a better level than your buttonmashing character
i'm not
i'm glad and i'm enjoying the salt they bring as they try to target games like samurai "showdown" for "paying its way into evo" lmao
more evidence that meleefags are delusional af
S
Honestly, how long do Melee players think the game was gonna last?
The game's fucking 18 years old. It can post on Yea Forums already.
>melee is bad because it is so unfathomably deep you need both special hardware and to basically live and breathe it to compete
That's not an argument moron. You guys can stay mad, melee will stay the most technically demanding game ever created. Enjoy your fucking one button autocombos in your "fighting" games kek.
Better than the last kermit
based kermit
THE DAY OF THE SOAP IS NOW UPON US
melee will also stay out of evo lmao
Exploiting bugs in a game that never got fixed is not "depth"
Nothing says dead game like 50 fucking threads about it daily
>all those poor fuckers who cheered for Ridley
Post the edit with Ridley
Finally. An image all of Yea Forums can laugh at in unity.
I don't have it, there was an edit?
Fucking kek
>its been a toxic relationship where they don't accept us anyways
kinda hard to say that when on the melee side they've been trying desperately hard to keep to themselves not even giving other games a shot,even their own games like smash 4.
also the general culture clash between the two groups, where melee fans have been sticking to melee while the rest of evo and smash 4 fans have been moving on from each installment of whatever in the lineup, you don't see people clamoring for smash 4 this year and you didnt see people clamoring for mvc2 to come back when mvc3 came out. I can understand why people didn't want to move over to brawl but there comes a point in time where you have a game thats "better" than brawl come out and you give that a shot, hell fucking give ultimate a shot, but no half of melee players refuse to give it a shot and proceed to spit on it trying to create a tannacon of their own during evo
I don't get it, the writings on the wall, evo not having melee in its lineup won't be its end, but its days are numbered with more people getting into ultimate rather than melee, just face the music and move on
twitter.com
check out this literal who's shitty opinion
fighting game community is more cancerous than fortnite
bunch of mentally ill trannies and whiney sensitive little bitches
>honestly under night and samurai showdown getting the nod over melee is absolutely laughable. these are nothing games. what a disgrace
see this, this is why no one wants to associate with melee, melee fans complain that they are being fucked over but at the same time they refuse to move on, they refuse to support other games tournaments during evo and they refuse to play or support other games in general.
you gotta be fucked in the head to call under night a nothing game
all the shit in that image is tame as fuck. Is this really what zoomers think passes as salt now?
Yeah, but Melee's out now.
Shitposting aside, is Ultimate actually better than Melee gameplay wise?
literally a false flag ultimatefag, who are you trying to fool?
yes
the only people who are going to disagree are the 8 autists who built their "careers" on playing a bugged children's game like hungrybox and leffen
>what the hell is samurai shodown
This is why no one takes meleefags seriously
Depending on how you look at it. There's much less mobility and people seem to hate buffering (or anything mildly similar to negative edge), but at the same time, if you go into a match and you run into someone who actually wants to win more than to have a fun match, you won't get singstalled by a jigglypuff.
hey
melee is like the retarded kid you keep in the basement when you have people over so they dont embarrass you
except this time, evo just did everyone a favour by shooting the retard
the rest of us disowned meleefags ages ago
>most technically demanding game ever
>Needing a specially broken baby controller so you can cheat
>exploiting bugs
stay mad and stinky and EVOless
I would say yes. Healthier meta, diverse roster, and no exploitable bugs.
regardless of how smelly and obnoxious meleefags are, I have a certain amount of respect for them for sticking to a game they like instead of eating whatever shit a company gives them or letting the whole fucking community die
Nice.
I never understood why Melee was so popular and I am glad that it finally died.
Melee fans were always annoying to me and ruined the fun of later Smash Games.
don't forget
>but still ban a controller because it "helps you cheat" aka smashbox
Just because MvC2 and UMvC3 aren't in the spotlight of the biggest Fightan Tournament doesn't mean they're dead, but yeah, I wish the FGCucks did a better effort of sustaining for what's arguably their best games, moreso SF players who have gotten a lot of re-releases ( with admitedly shitty netcodes, but hey, better than nothing )
I wouldn't say so, but it's definitely the closest we've gotten. The game still needs to incentivise approaching more. A lot of characters, moreso the worse part of the cast, is stuck to Bait & Punish gameplay to make up for their lack of diverse approach options. There are a few exceptions, and most of them is because of good air speed. I think that once whatever the next Smash game is brings back dash to jump momentum, Melee will rightfully & forever be dead. Until then, I think it still holds a fair niche that you can't take away.
I think Melee should've been dropped years ago, but it's still stupid that they're picking gameS (PLURAL) that aren't even out yet over established games.
S
Melee has been on the main events for like 6 years in a row. Even other big games end up leaving after like 1 or 2 events. Other games get rotated out eventually, with the exception usually being Street Fighter since it's such a mainstay. And it still gets a lot of other smaller tourneys.
And there's always like a good number of side tourneys that usually happen on EVO so if you really wanted melee at EVO, it's still there, just not on the main stage anymore.
Melee still gets a bunch of tourneys as well, so I don't see what they're bitching about.
>mfw the great irony is that most of the people on Yea Forums making fun of Melee don't shower regularly
He's no fun to watch and he beats everyone else so every match is going to be no fun to watch.
Wasn't Melee dropped from EVO decades ago when Brawl came out, but still came back years later? Why does Yea Forums think this is a big deal, even Leffen who is the most obnoxious outspoken Melee player is cool with it. Don't you guys know EVO history? Why are there way less IPs in this thread compared to posts? Find out on the next episode.
Yea Forums has too many normies and diet normies these days so probably false, sadly
it is incomprehensible that ANY of the smash "games" are given any level of credence or consideration in anything ever
>I wish the FGCucks did a better effort of sustaining for what's arguably their best games
such as cry about it and stomp their smelly feet until someone concedes to their demands for vip rooms?
Soap pilled.
That's not Ridley. That's too small to be Ridley.
If you wanted to mock melee you should add RWBY characters to it, nothing gets them like smug animeesque girls.
kek
but ultimate is still there
I'm elated that UNIST got in but Samurai Shodown literally doesn't belong there
Personally while I do think Melee's time in the sun is over, they could have sent it off with a better replacement than some shitty Tekken clone no one will play
ok this is epic
>Wasn't Melee dropped from EVO decades ago
Yes it was.
>Why does Yea Forums think this is a big deal
Just the usual overreacting just like with every twitter post from literally who.
>know EVO history
No one on this board actually plays these games, it's just shitposting.
>Why are there way less IPs
OP samefagging over and over.
There's still that problem Sakurai sort of locked into the game for heavies because jump momentum will never ever work in their favor. Rage isn't quite enough and if anything, only supports their camping playstyle even more (like DDD,who I play)
There's a new Samurai Showdown? Why didn't you faggots tell me?
because you're an autist that doesn't play fighting games and only likes samsho because everyone else is talking about it
we did and you ignored it for e-drama on twitter and sjw garbage
That reaction looks like a man who just got told by the mob that either needs to find the drugs that got stolen when the deal went bad or come up with $100,000 in the next hour or they're going to make him swim while wearing concrete shoes.
Based Mr. Wiz.
Time to move to PM.
No one likes playing against, or watching Puff stalling with forward air for 8 minutes while fishing for throw>rest combos at low percents.
nope
Isn't the first time EVO does this.
I know. It was dumb when they did it in the past too.
>kinda hard to say that when on the melee side they've been trying desperately hard to keep to themselves not even giving other games a shot,even their own games like smash 4.
This. I remember someone posting a statistic about cross-pollination of players at a specific tournament. The data showed that Melee tournament players only played Melee, while players other games like Tekken and anime games would typically enter into tournaments for different games.
Or just look at stream numbers at Evo top 8 events. The numbers are typically stable but have giant influxes of numbers when Melee is shown, because the Meleefags don't watch anything but Melee.
I’m just confused why Leffen, Mr. “EVO needs Melee,” is sad about this and not exuberant that his most hated tournament is gone.
>years of top melee players shitting in Evo
>Years of top melee players say they don't need evo
>no melee this year
Shocked pikachu.jpg
exactly and they actively booed other tournaments while chaniting for their own to start. they have no one to blame but themselves for the most part for their ill popularity.
another thing is that a lot of people I know who play smash and not just melee just can't get into fighting games, they try it once and they never get back in. one guy I know was just talking about how he tried fighterz, street fighter, mvc and under night amongst others once but none of them clicked for him, which is understandable but its a nugget of info that a lot of smash players won't try other games which I can honestly see with smash being pretty friendly to casuals and competitives while most fighting games even ones like fighterz with a low ass skill ceiling, theres going to be one person getting their shit kicked in and the other doing the kicking, which puts the new person in the idea of " oh these guys are beyond me, I can't get to that level while getting my ass beat like its nothing"
and really thats no fault to normal fighting games honestly, its just how it is
You forgot part 2
Meleefags didn't deserve this you guys are just contrarians who want to laugh whenever anybody gets upset
S
Way over due
Took up space from so many other solid games in the past
>you guys are just contrarians who want to laugh whenever anybody gets upset
I just hope that Samurai Shodown succeeds and that it inspires the revival of more dormant fighting game series.
>mfw melee dropped
>mfw mfw stands for meleefags when
While I agree finding joy in people´s pain in general isn´t healty, in this particular case...
>Meleefags didn't deserve this
Yes they do.
Seething smelly cuck, go to a bath house
>what the hell is samurai showdown sounds like wii game
>UNIST and Samsho these are nothing games
I can't press S hard enough. Fuck these people, fuck them.
Kermit poster even came back 2 years later to stomp on them.
Holy shit I'm still ecstatic about SamSho. 2 and 5 are my favorite fighting games ever.
>Melee has been on the main events for like 6 years in a row.
The fuck? No it hasn't. It was literally half that time.
Are you retarded? It's been a main game since 2013.
>Meleefags didn't deserve this you guys are just contrarians who want to laugh whenever anybody gets upset
I was at evo 2016 and yes they did. Not because of any stupid shower meme. They were the most self-centered, arrogant mother fuckers there at a gathering full of that type of people and they all left as soon as they lost. So much for actual love of the game and competition.
No it wasn't a main game until 2016.
This edit would work better with Simon bashing the reapers head in with the Vampire Killer.

Fuck EVO let's turn this into an E3 hype thread.
How is Fortnite cancerous at all?
>Lucian
Is that the porn artist?
The funniest thing is how they are always crying that people only want them at events for their money. Even melee fags know they are so insufferable that nobody would willingly spend their time with them.

what is juice wrld doing in this screencap? is he a melee fan or something?
...
>Shitting on Samurai Shodown
i like melee but fuck these guys
>Are we supposed to have SF3 Alpha in EVO just cause used to be a good game?
In an ideal world, yes, this is what would happen. EVO used to be like this, but it got too big and now money dictates what's on the main stage.
Everyone hated (or still hates) Street Fighter V and there was a movement to get everyone to stick to IV or go back to III but eventually everyone relented because if you want to make money as a Street Fighter player you gotta play V, and no one that's going to EVO is "doing it for fun."
>Samurai
It should say "Melee" because Ultimate is still in there.
I BEEN SAYING THIS SHIT FOR YEARS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck you all
fucking melee gets to stay on, but OTHER games have to move up to the newest versions?
FUCK YOU
GUYS ITS HARMONY DAY STFU!
This reminds me that I played the new smash with my niece and nephew and they both called Fox, StarFox unironically and they said all their school friends call him StarFox so it isn't a miiverse meme anymore.
This is probably bullshit, but it kind of makes sense. Roaches are attracted to the heat electronics give out, and big CRTs have plenty of room for them to squeeze into. Considering these TVs might have been gathered by the Melee community, there's a good chance they were sitting in some smelly NEET's rat nest of an apartment or some filthy basement "battle house" where melee fags congregate and were always turned on, constantly surrounded by the disgusting creatures (the meleefags, not the roaches).
>every melee thread ever is 150 consistent posters comprised of seething lower income FGC mongs and decimated sm4sh fags who have nothing to say after their Bayo v Bayo finals
every time.
im curious, what was it like growing up without a PC? mom couldnt afford anything but a "family" computer, huh?
>nu samsho has so little to show that it's just a squid
Can we no just live in Harmony?
Good one.
I think it's just whoever made this image doesn't have an appropriate image.
Also, Sam Sho has been out of the eye for a long time, so it's not like there's a lot of meme images of Haohmaru or Nakoruru dabbing.
S
Meleefags should've been castrated long ago.
S
Good Riddance
Young people like it, so it's automatically bad
>sky says that Ultimate wouldn't have happened if it weren't for melee
What the fuck is this fag saying? It's literally how sequels work. Ultimate wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Brawl, or Sm4sh
He's saying it would've continued to go in the Brawl direction if not for the wild re-success of Melee
Because Leffens a snowflakey commie faggot who pretends to hate things to look cool.
It's also one less game he'll be competing in.
>Classic mode is random
Not exactly. The structure stays the same but the characters are different (first match is always 1v1, second match is always 2v2, etc). Brawl was the one that had a entirely random Classic mode if I recall correctly.
>is told a known fact
>n-no u
every time
they actually took feedback from melee players and other pros this time instead of just giving lipservice like with 4. Word around E3 was that nintendo didn't want a split community anymore and for both crowds to go with ultimate
*inhales*
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>MUH MAYALAY

>Wild resuccess
I was about to point out that the Smash documentary did that but it was only 5 years ago so you've got a point there.

Doubt
Nah, Z-cancelling is gay. Wavedashing is rad.
>a great adventure mode
Solid bait, enjoy your (You).
>Mute City
There's plenty of stages like that in Ultimate
>Poke Floats
Tr4sh and Ultimate also have an awful stage, it's called 75m
The money is not even worth it. They smell so bad they probably have to spend double on disinfectant and Deodorant.
>Huge for growth
It's a fucking 20 year old game. Ultimate already eclipsed it in sales and popularity. There is no way for Melee to go anywhere but down from here.
>hating BBTAG
Tag mechanics too hard for you, friend? Did you get suckered in thinking the autocombos would carry you only to get bodied by sandwich combos?
Not him, what's a sandwich combo? Is it two autocombos separated by a manual combo?
When you have a character on each side of the opponent to do Left/Right mix-ups.
These fucking salty autist niggers. Third Strike and Super Turbo are much more deserving of a slot and these faggots talking like Melee is the best game to have ever graced EVO.
This is why everyone hates them, they have no respect for other games than their autist shit. If they had shown a bit of humility and dignity (at any point, not just today) people wouldn't be celebrating their departure.
The funniest fucking part about meleefags still going
>YEAH WELL THERES STILL A LOT OF MELEE MAJORS COMING UP, WE AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE
is that they fail to realise exactly why melee was dropped from EVO.
It was dropped because it is losing popularity at an alarming rate and by July, its going to be close to irrelevant. Don't believe me? For the past few months, ALL of the top melee players have been 24/7 ultimate. Hbox, armada, leffen, m2k, plup. 24 fucking 7 ultimate. And guess how they all reacted to the news melee was dropped. Do you think they did some 'revival of melee' streams, did they do anything to support the game besides put out a few useless tweets?
Of course fucking not. Just like every other day, they are 24/7 ultimate.
The only reason melee has survived for so long is because of the timelines of the top players. Everyone wants to see hbox lose. Who would be the first to 3VO? Will M2K win another major ever again and create more memes of himself.
With the top players out of the picture, no one fucking cares. Evo had 150k viewers for melee last year. Genesis 6, the biggest tournament since then, had a whopping
>18 fucking thousand
for the finals because leffen, armada and m2k weren't there. The fact is, no one cares about melee unless the top players are there. By July, they will all be gone. They are streaming ultimate 24/7 for a reason, because that's where the money is. 'Love of the game' is fucking worthless in the face of going from 500 subs, to 5000.
The best part is the constant
>what even IS Samurai Shodown?
Fucking scrubs, fuck them.
>our competitive game is better because of these single player aspects or shit that's banned in basically every tournament setting
I find it absolutely hilarious how fucking hypocritical the Melee community is. Always claiming how superior Melee was to other Smash games but as soon as the Puffs and Iceys start to catch up to the Foxes and Marths they call bans because they can't adapt. It was fun watching Melee but the community is absolute cancer, they totally deserve this. Good fucking riddance.
It obviously had to do with Ultimate coming out. If any year it was gonna happen, might as well pull the trigger when the new game comes out. I'm so fucking excited for UNIST
That shit frustrates me so much, nothing makes me feel more like a shitter
S.
Maylay being at Evo to begin with is a black mark on the FGC. A collection of foul-smelling autistic playing a glitchy 15-year-old party game while everyone else there worked hard to git gud at an actual competitive fightan gaem. Smashfags can even organize their own event because they're too unsanitary for any conference hall.
S
I thought meleefags are supposed to be boomers manchilds, and yet they don't seem to know Sam Sho. the fuck?
What's this stinky meme I keep seeing? I'm guessing it's because Melee players don't shower, but is there any specific story behind it?
who is this semen demon again?
S
All FGkek tournaments have people who don't shower and are stinky, Melee just formed a reputation for it because they're the usual culprits.
Not that I'm defending Melee in any way, I'm happy it's dead because of its shitty community. They love to meme about other games' failures but act like total manchildren when it's their turn. I don't blame Salem for lashing out at them even though Salem's a huge ass faggot too.
nice copypasta
SSSadistic!
Melee pros don't care though, EVO is just one of the many melee majors
>what the hell is samurai showdown and why does it sound like a Wii title
god fucking dammit fucking zoomers REEEEEEE
there's an image of an email a tournament organizer for Smash sent out telling players that they need to practice better personal hygiene because the venue owner was complaining about how godawful it smelt on tournament days, calling it "stinky days"
someone has the image of this
You dont wanna spit on your own feet
>People are only talking about Melee getting axed
>No one talks about GG getting axed aswell
EVOfags are just keyboard warriors that never watched the actual event and only shitpost to stay hip and cool with the kids.
hmm
Guilty Gear died so that we may have UNIEL and be rid of Melee.
It's sacrifice will not be forgotten.
This is the future you chose
It's really sad to see GG go, but I can see why they did it.
if you watch people play vidya for any reason other than making fun of gdq trannies then there is something wrong with you
Thank you for proving my point if you unironically think that. Hope you'll enjoy Samurai Showdown before it inevitably bombs like most SNK games these days (I'm happy for the UNIB guys though, they deserve to get the spotlight at least once).
they rotate games out all the time, melee are the only ones that made a stink (get it because they smell awful) about it
Why bother? PM isn't going to get a spot on the main stage at Evo either.
>SMelees falling apart
>Literally foaming at the mouth trying to ban Puff and wobbling because fat CRT dragging autists dont want to adapt, or shower
>FGC events finally putting their foot down against the most autistic fanbase and worst reputation.

Now they know how I felt when they removed KI from the main stage.

>melee deserves a remaster
Do people unironically believe this? I thought it was a stupid twitch meme.
done
cause its not even a fighting game faggots lmao get this pussy ass party game out of my fighting tourney. and ultimate is only there cause its popular rn
>Do people actually believe this
Youre dealing with a community thats easily in the top 3 when it comes to most autistic, what do you think?
based. ohtfpbp
Fuckin saved.
I dont even think you need the bottom panel.
>Hurr Durr Fox mains shit need to adapt.
>Armada had a positive record over Hbox.
>Quit because playing and practising against puff is so lame.
Fuck off retard.
I don't really see many meleefags seething about it really, just falseflaggers, there's a much bigger majority of "LOL MELEE DEAD" even if from what I've gathered, they have a bunch of tourneys still planned in the next few months (and the stink meme is retarded if you ever went to any kind of locals, even SF ones, that take place in small over heated rooms, it smells fucking rancind aswell). If anything I mostly see japanese GG players being disappointed they won't be able to compete at the main event but at least we had EVO Japan.
that ones weirdly compressed, heres a slightly better res
i demand more compression, i want that shit to be an indecipherable mess
>being a bigot
kysmm
Guilty gear will still have a side tournament, right? Right?
ok
the first ones better because simon is massive
Quitting because its lame is even more fucking autistic.
Did HBox cheat in anyway? No? Then shut the fuck up.
If your opponent doesn't cheat or break the rules, youre a whiny bitch for quitting no matter how you slice it.
It baffles me how devoted Meleefags are to making a fucking excuse or explanation whenever anyone points out the blatant autism and childish behavior of its pros and fanbase. Fuck you.
thank you for actually doing my shitpost, it's good
No one plays Melee for single player shit you falseflagging Ultard
People still think smash is a fighting game?
>Quitting because something isn't fun is autistic.
HBox is the lamest fucking player in the world at everything and saps the fun and enjoyment out of everything he participates in.
Watch him play anything at Summit and you'll see him push how far he can cheat or play outside of the rules to get a dishonest victory.
He's also the most socially autistic person there, which is saying something when Mew2king is around.
Its a competition you excuse making jackass. Who the fuck cares about fun in a competition? If its show matches or casual I concede that, but if youre going to damn a player because he will play to win with the advantages allowed to him by the laws of the game without cheating, you have singlehandedly proven why Melee, and its fanbase, are a fucking joke and have no place on EVO or any other competition of any organization.
Competitors play to win, not prance around and entertain you like chimps because thats what YOU desire, moron.
God damn you are autistic as fuck dude
post the original unedited version at the top so its three panels
I'm glad it's finally fucking dead. Having two games of the same franchise in the EVO roster was fucking shit.
feels like overkill on the punchline but ok
Melee competitions came purely from the community with less than no support from Nintendo and all the pros played because they loved the game, not for the 1st place and 10 dollar prize.
S
Would honestly be better without Simon in the top panel.
is that a reaction to the OP topic?
Finally dude. That shit was on the list for WAY too long. The game got three fucking more entires in the series before it went out
>shitty Tekken clone no one will play
Have you confused samsho and soul calibur
>Did Hbox cheat in anyway?
He does when he's not sitting directly across his opponent. He has a habit of looking down at their DI when he does a downthrow so he can get a guaranteed rest.
Return of PM when?
en.wikipedia.org
It's been included as a main game since 2013. It did get a C&D from Nintendo but Nintendo eventually relented.
:( Never
KI hasnt been Reeing its way into tournaments for years and shitting on every single community it comes across, I'd say its quite the opposite in fact, it's been unduly getting shit on for the longest time.
Not a Melee fag, but who the FUCK cares about UNIST? Where’s Marvel 3?
After all the marvelheads moved onto MVCI instead of just accepting the game was shit do you really think Marvel 3 would come back
So when are we bringing back Killer Instinct?

No fucking way. That game is ancient, how did that get in EVO? I don't follow EVO, but god damn that's amazing that they gave it love.
It's the new one that got announced recently.

Why do people act like melee is still the best smash game ever
jesus fuck these people are autistic
pity reply
Damn, I sure do miss characters like Servbot & Marrow.
Melee is a cult at this point.
It has survived through all kinds of hell for over 18 yrs.
What could possibly kill it at this point? Let's be honest here.
Something that could actually END melee for good?
As a non competitive fuck
Someone explain why people like Melee over Ultimate. Doesn't Ultimate have a bunch of features to cater more towards competitive play?
I hate smash because I hate tryhards, and Smash took the direct pipeline from party game to tryhard fighting-game wannabe shamelessly.
But I REALLY want to see more mockery of the stupid ass "Vote with your wallet/viewership" mentality. It never ceases to amaze me that people genuinely think boycotts mean anything outside of the service industry and I absolutely love seeing people fuck themselves out of a good time over misplaced principles or because some dev/eceleb hurt their feefees.
Nice bait. Subtle but cutting.

In that case why does EVO remotely matter
And...you know...Cable, who was widely played.
honestly the worst part of Melee, at least to an outsider, is how fucking stale the comp scene is.
the only way i'll ever give two shits about Melee, especially at EVO is if you ban the top 12 from participating and get some completely new blood into the bracket. I'm tired of seeing Mango vs Leffen vs Hbox vs Armada vs M2K vs PP vs whatever top 12 player took the spot this time.
They say that their game is growing, yet NO ONE outside of the same 12 players that have dominated for the last DECADE have ever had major screen time. All you get are a bunch of seat fillers who get maybe 30 minutes total of stream time before the brackets become set with the same lineup it always has been

can melee ever recover after this?
No, let them fall of the stage
Axe and Zain are quickly rising to the top
Melee is fine without Evo, and it could be back next year anyways. I'd say it's good that Melee isn't at Evo this year since Ult just came out. A lot of the players are in cooldown mode
>a Classic Mode that is random so it never gets boring
I don't understand this argument. You just fight donkey kong instead of mario wow big deal. How does it not get boring after you do classic a couple times and fight everyone
Because when Brawl came out, CRTs and Gamecube controllers were still readily available. Ultimate, UNIST and EVO didn’t kill Melee. Technology did. It’s now reached a point where it just isn’t feasible to have a game as old as Melee at EVO for anything more than a side game. There’s too much setup time involved. When Wiz sees how much easier the event is to run without needing technology from the early 2000’s, he’ll absolute make the decision to never bring it back. Melee would only ever make a return if a Switch port was made, and the purists would avoid that version entirely making it pointless.
Being at EVO has never mattered for any game, ever. There's nothing to "recover" from
fpbp
cope
Roaches are also infamous for nesting in computers so uh, clean your shit Anons.
Just wait till everyone starts bringing back Melty over melee
I would actually like to see that. I take pity in Meltyfags, they've been playing on bathrooms and garbage dumpsters for more than a decade.
>Meleefags crying that Evo finally gave their 18 year old game the boot
Not even surprised
but axe was doing extremely well lately, that's why i was looking forward to this evo specifically. it's honestly quite sad. seeing axe win was the ONE thing i still wanted out of melee. but too little too late.
happy for unist though. it seems like the game will grow again. FB gaining more recognition raises the chance of getting a new melty in the future.
Linne is so cute
First stage: Denial
Did anyone ever vocaroo the original?
I don't get it. Why people are so obsessed at Smash when the creator intention of the game, it's just to celebrate all videogame icons fighting each other in a party game with friends.
Why people still hang on Melee this much, when those people are clearly playing the game in a way that wasn't intended to. Melee dying is just good riddance, I hope that also Ultimate next year won't appear at Evo. Plus let's just be real. The Melee scene is composed from the same people since 10 years and more. The fact that EVO wants to give a spotlight to some little budget fighting games in the main stage is better than have 2 slots occupied by Smash.
I mean, evo needs melee more than vice-versa. Not that EVO needs any game at this point, really.
>companies paid for their game to be mainstage at evo and a scene that has been grassroots since the very start gets shafted instead, fucking based!!!
the absolute state of nu/v/
>this is what meleefags think like
Jesus christ good riddance
>playing games for any reason other than wanting to
I liked melee irrelevant of evo and I'll continue to like it. Just because some people can't play for money and can no longer treat this thing like a sport, changes nothing. People take this shit way too seriously and put too much value in external opinions. Like just play the game if you like it.
i guarantee you that all the melee pros constant bitching over evo contributed to this decision. most notably leffen of course.
i'm sad for melee as a whole but these certain people deserve what they got. fucking whiny retards.
unist is grassroots too and this will help their community grow more for sure.
samsho probably got in with chinese money though yeah, i'll give you that.
maybe ultimate will be able to pick up the slack. but i doubt it. entrance number will probably be really high though since the switch is/was? doing well
SamSho got in because Wiz loved the old games.
he loves money more
not that you can blame him too much, EVO isn't a charity, but still
basically whenever you see a game that is barely out by the time of the tournament, you know someone splashed a bit of their marketing budget
Yeah, the big market known as SNK paid Mr.Wiz. Sure.
yeah. it's because he loves money that i'm saying that the constant bitching contributed.
it's probably a mix of
>melee attitude towards evo
>CRTs and other special set-up needs
>declining game, although still healthy
in terms of money melee should help him, so some of those other points obviously carried more weight.
somehow i still doubt it. but maybe i guess.
>unist is just as grassroots as Melee was when it first started
>SS is in purely because it was such a beloved series among anyone that played SNK games
But naw lemme guess those don’t count because reasons right
SNK is literally an official sponsor of EVO 2019 you absolute brainlet.
Since Melee pays nothing, it doesn't take much to outbid it.
snk is backed by tencent you retard.
i think
It needs to be in Kermit’s voice. Maybe have some improve with Fuzzy as a meleefag

For a lot of games, being Evo mainstage is make or break. You can see this with Skullgirls, MVCI and inevitably DoA6. The Evo brand is never a joke, and UNIST earning that slot is commendable because it was the community that pushed for it from the bottom of the barrel of niche anime fighting game titles.

YESSSSS PLEASE FUCK ME HARDER MEGACORPORATIONS -Yea Forums ever since post-gamergate corps have figured out how to market to autists
Why did they have to add 75m again? Just why?
it's actually hilarious how much hypocrisy and doublethink fgc tards devote to hating melee... when they could apply literally every one of those talking points to ultimate but don't. I also like how melee players wanting to play the format their majors universally use is somehow too much to ask. Apparently if you don't constantly suck McRib's sweaty chode you should not have your game at EVO. Whatever, you morons can continue to prop up Jabba the Wiz. I'll not be watching EVO this year.

Defected old and unused hardware isn't special in any more way than you are with your autism
What the hell's this controller defect, never heard of it?
If you can only care about who is winning and storylines rather than gameplay you are legit too fucking dumb to watch competitive games.
It's better and worse in a few ways, but overall the better vastly outweight the worse, the game is definitely a much better choice from now on.
s
>18 years ago
It’s time to move on
basically "regular" controllers have a flaw that makes them less accurate, the irregegular "defect" controllers are better. It used to be quite hard to get a really good controller.
But that has been rectified with a software patch called UCF (universal controller fix) that's been used for Melee tournaments for like a year now, so anyone can play with any controller on an even playing field.
But HBox winning means the gameplay has gone to shit as well.
It handles like shit, they slapped a shitty buffer on it that causes you to have to predict where the other person will go at all times and encourages not approaching, it's has literally zero complexity when compared to melee, tons of characters are not very unique at all, and they "balanced" the game by giving basically every good character free as fuck recovery and at least 1-3 super annoying and spammable options. A lot of the game's neutral is "spam my move in a safe spot until the other player accidentally gets hit." There's zero mechanical complexity when compared to melee either. I honestly dont know how FGC players who called melee casual are defending this game being at evo.
Care to talk out of your ass more about something you know absolutely nothing about, ultimate kid?
>tfw ArcSys killed Melee
Feels sugoi, onii-chan.
Does anyone else smell something? It’s awful.
I love smug hyde
How am I wrong? Not all GC controllers were created equal and when trying to do certain things, you'd get different results based on how good your controller happened to leave the factory. UCF fixed this.
Again, where am I wrong?
This. But seriously EVO UNiST was fun. It was so good seeing Enkidu and Akatsuki soldiering through Merk and Phonon's fullscreens
Move on grandpa. no one cares anymore
>Because when Brawl came out, CRTs and Gamecube controllers were still readily available. Ultimate, UNIST and EVO didn’t kill Melee. Technology did.
They use CRTs for plenty of their side events at recent Evos. Darkstalkers 3, SamSho2, and Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves were at EVO 2018. Stop this "le CRTs for le cancer game XD" meme.
Maybe this one will stay relevant for longer than a year unlike the last Kermit post.
At side tourneys though. Its a nightmare setting that shit up for a main stage with tight schedules. Hell, EVO venue last year went overtime cause of Melee's bullshit. If anything Melee killed Melee
Guys, I forgot to shower before class and now I have the urge to play melee. Can someone bring me some soap to uni?
S
It stopped being interesting awhile ago
100 percent you aren’t even in Fgc and have never been to a tournament of any kind just spouting buzzwords and memes blindly
I like how he gave you no reply, since you were right
Please stop disproving arguments by merely quoting a part of them, but adding "le" and "xD", how old are you, discuss things, don't throw tantrums like a baby
Third strike players shat on SF4 till SFV came out and will shit on V till 6 comes out that’s how the entire fgc works but people bring extra attention to smash games probably because they can’t play them as well as their basic rinse and repeat combo mashers
cope
>75m
>Not Based Hanebow
It took what Smash 4 was trying to do and made it not awful. It's mechanically different from Melee.
I'd say they're both too unique to say one is better than the other.
I dunno, I find it pretty easy to say Melee is better because it's more fun to play and to watch. So far most people agree with this and go "well ultimate just came out, once people get more into the game it's gonna be better too" which probably is true, but I highly doubt it will suddenly turn into melee-tier greatness.
Also there's a certain timelessness that gets lost is a constantly updating, patched game.
Reminder that a 3rd of the SmUsh roster has a counter in they're moveset. The thing you're smelling is the game's shit design.
Third strike players are melee tier retarded as well, same as meleeniggers there've been multiple attempts to make new, fixed games and they all ignore them and keep screeching about how their broken unbalanced mess is the best fighting game ever and how they just dont make games like they used to.
Fuck Third strike
>Melee is better because it's more fun to play and to watch
How so? Literally his question is why one or the other is better, and you replied with basically "just because"
>EVO venue last year went overtime cause of Melee's bullshit.
What happened with Melee? The top 8 appeared to have ended earlier than usual, so I'm guessing it was technical difficulties?
More fluidity; more complexity; more flexibility; faster, more explosive matches; better, more extensive edgeguard and on a personal note, I also think it looks better, I'm not a fan of the big, last special effects the newer games have. Melee effects are a short burst, the newer games are visually overwhelming and exhausting
>Unique
Every smash since has been a mechanical derivative of melee, there's nothing unique about it.
>Why is melee better
When you remove demanding mechanics, the plays made are less exciting to perform and to watch. It's that simple.
As long it's not skullgirls and has cutting girls in half, it's going to take a spot for evo
Reminder that your game got killed due to everyone realizing the best way to play it is to stall as long as possible every single time
>doesn't know what samurai showdown is
smashfags are the fucking worst
bad bait
bad bait
The irony is that all those manbabbies say is
>without melee there wouldn't be competitive smash
Competitive retards are terrible. Competitive Smash is cancer. Imagine if any competitive sports removed certain stadiums, uniform colors, etc. because they were "too unbalanced". I mean fuck. If this was golf there would be one course design.
>Y-yea well my game might be bad b-but here's this thing they literally have rules against

>Somehow in a community full of scrublords, end up the bitchiest and most tryhard over their solved game
>Will never not act like Melee is somehow the greatest fighting game of all time when even calling Smash a fighting game is being fucking generous
They deserve to have the limelight taken away from them everywhere, let them form a Melee Game Community or whatever and circlejerk themselves in the corner instead of trying to act like they not only belong but fucking lead the FGC.
No one wants to see a bunch of foxes and birds fighting while crying about a pink balloon and a low-tier with a gimmick
GG was a sacrifice but Rev2 has been kicking around for a while, there's a good chance a new GG is being made and may have a trailer ready by the end of ArcRevo due to Team Red supposedly helping out on KLK IF and thus not having as much focus.
I'd personally take GG over something like DBFZ but Melee being gone and UNIST getting love definitely balance it out for me.
>No one
The numbers say otherwise.
No one that matters
>mfw French Bread were the ones to kill Melee
Why are people so butt hurt about melee not being in EVO and why are people celebrating it?
Because some meleefags are obnoxiously vocal and people are celebrating because it makes said meleefags angry that their game isn't at EVO.
Obviously, not all meleefags are shitheads, but the few that are are also extremely vocal.
Because the only people in the world who like melee niggers are melee niggers. Everyone else just wants them to go away and take a shower.
Why do these faggots actually delude themselves into thinking Melee would never leave EVO? Fuck outta here and let another game have a chance to shine.
Because why would you remove the second most popular game when you have nine fucking slots?
>game is not featured at EVO
>this means game is dead and nobody plays it anymore
imagine seething this hard
>Obviously, not all meleefags are shitheads, but the few that are are also extremely vocal.
this applies to literally any fandom
nobody wants to watch melee for the same reasons nobody wants to watch SF2CE
It's old and boring and the meta is stale

>second most popular game
Thats garfield
>you didnt see people clamoring for mvc2 to come back
That's a bad example there, Infinite failed that hard that some people are actually asking for MvC2 to come back but not too hard because even them realize that it would be a hardware nightmare for Evo.
S
Self-entitled shits who don’t remember how dead their game was in 2009 and pretend like they’re some timelesss immortal entity
S
I'm more surprised at SamSho getting in over Granblue Versus honestly given that Cygames has been one of Evo's biggest sponsors lately and no matter how you spin it, the leaders of Evo are biased towards Arcsys even if I'm not displeased about that since it probably gave Guilty Gear one or two extra years given that it's one of the games with the lowest amount of players among the main stage games but only got the cut this year.
