Melee died already

its not at evo, its dead.

kid, this game is easy as fuck in comparison why do you think melee "pros" can't do jack shit in ultimate at a top level? people are realizing ultimate has the higher skillcap and is more fun in general. melee will die within the year.

Go back to dumpster diving for 24 inch CRTs.

ho boy can't wait to see the same 5 smelly cunts in top 8 every tournament.

Melee may not be dead, but it is dying
I dunno why you neckbeards can't seem to wrap your minds around it,
but nobody wants to devote hundreds of hours to getting good

Armada moving on was the herald of the end, when the best player gives it up, it's over

I used to love Melee, not as a competitive game but something to just shit around with with friends and enjoy the multiplayer and single player events, getting trophies and enjoying minigames like break the targets and other nice shit we don't have in newer smash games. Fuckers like you who just talk down on every other Smash game and only talk about Melee's ebin wavedashy Fox maymays (and also fuck Puff we cant beat her waaah)" are the cancer of Smash along with Rosterfags. Fuck you. Melee's a good game but not for the reasons you shitheads keep parroting on about. Fuck you. I'll stick to Ultimate and Brawl/PM to have fun and also to take showers daily. Kill yourself.

This.
Melee tried to fit into a genre where people don't like them. It's a party game to have fun with your friends (if you have any).

Why do people think a game can only be played one way? If people want to play it as a party game, there's zero problem with that, nobody thinks there's a problem with that

Attached: question ball.jpg (374x356, 18K)

"Party game" isn't a genre.

But it's true :0 you just sound like a fuck nigga trying to defend a game that has been solved for more than a decade. top 8's are like an exclusive treehouse club of kids. When shit don't fly the way they want it, they blame the lag of the set, not their personal controller, or some outside forces that no one cares about.

Of course not, but it's not a real fighting game either. I don't think unga bunga would be a genre either, but thats what i mostly see when i go to tourney. They just hog up space.

I think it would be fine if people weren't annoying about it but competitive Melee people are definitely annoying about it, and they don't have the excuse of "it's meant to be played this way" to fall back on like with other fighting games.

>it's been solved for a decade
If that were true we'd be seeing actual 20XX results instead of Puffs, Shieks, and Marths winning tournaments.
Just admit you don't know what you're talking about and are trying to parrot some shit you read off a Yea Forums screencap like we all know you are.

Can you define what a ''real'' fighting game is?

You should be banned for being underage.
No the game isn't good because of glitches its good because of the intended mechanics. You could remove wavedashing and it would still be the best smash by a longshot

>Why do people think a game can only be played one way?

Because Meleefags aggressively shit on all other smash games for not having muh wavedashing, a "feature" that only the most autistic of compfags would care about.

Not killing melee isn’t a requirement

It’s like asking somebody to prove something to somebody that doesn’t matte
Fuck off and stick to what you prefer without causing a shitstorm

But Melee was one of my first console games ever when I was a kid and you fuckers made me hate it.

Nobody is upset about Melee still doing well.

It’s the people thinking a smash game had to destroy Melee to be good

The best part about melee is the sound design. Every smash game since then has had extremely unsatisfying hitsounds.

It's dead jim

>It’s the people thinking a smash game had to destroy Melee to be good
Well if you can't even surpass a 15 year old game in terms of gameplay can you really be called good? Kinda pathetic when you think about it Sakurai was never good HaL carried his ass.

>Being such a Nintendo fanboy that you get angry when people don't instantly eat up whatever new shit they push out

Fucking pathetic. Why is it okay to diss the likes of Bethesda when they put out a dumbed down sequel, but the moment Nintendo do, you HAVE to like it, or you're toxic(or whatever buzzword they use)?
People don't like the slower, shallower gameplay of Brawl and Smash 4, so they'll keep playing what they actually enjoy.
Why the FUCK are you angry by this? Did a Meleefag fuck your mom and cuck you or something?

Ultimate sounds 10x better and flashier

I absolutely HATE how everything sounded in Smash 4. Every hit sounded like rocks breaking apart. It was a trainwreck.
Smash 64 had the most satisfying sounds though, not Melee.

The only thing that sounds great in Ultimate is the parry.

Take off the nostalgia goggles, smash 4 and brawl sucked, we finally have a good game.

64 sounds are amazing, it feels like you're actually beating the shit out of the other character.

>5 smelly cunts
>top 8
Based retard

It's true. Ultimate is a great game. It's a solid 8.5 out of 10, whereas Smash 4 was like a 7 and Brawl was a 6. Melee is still a 9.5, and 64 is like an 8.

>Melee actually has more stable, less laggy online than Ultimate

The only reason why I want switch emulation is because the community is bound to make a service that has less latency for netplay than Nintendo.

Its actually insane how good netplay has gotten over the past few years. I remember having to find matches on IRC. Now it actually has less latency than playing on a crt.

Each Smash has been better than the last one, unless you count 3DS and WiiU as different titles in which the 3DS is better because Smash Run is too fucking good.

Can you imagine if smash run were on Ultimate?

ackshually no

>Smash 4
nah, that one was shit compared to Brawl in almost every way.
I'll agree on everything else though. Ultimate is definitely the best one.

The potential is insane, think about all of the hype matches that happen off stream
youtu.be/L_d8my7Uyes

Completely skipped the Smash4 era wtf is smash run

Shitty minigame that was 3DS-exclusive. You fight a lot of random enemies and get random powerups and engage in 1 random event at the end.

Melee was the fucking best. Edge guarding was the most fun and the most viable, fast gameplay, falco didn’t throw his shine, falco could short-hop laser jump. Fuck man Brawl and Ultimate couldn’t ever hope to compare.

Also Smash Ultimate Online is laughable. People bought entire Nintendo Switch systems just for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. HAHAHAH

Nothing. The same stagnant bullshit as always except with less life because Evo told you to fuck off.

Enjoy.

How? Smash 4 had much faster gameplay and better newcomers

>shitty
take that back you dickhead it was city trial meets smash and it was beautiful

>Smash 4 had much faster gameplay
please elaborate

Nope. Melee is still the best casually.

Sounds like shit. Adventure and Spirit Board already covers that itch, and they're shit too.

Where my home run targets at I need to get a world record

City Trial was shit and Smash 4 played like ass. In that respect, it was a perfect match.

A bit faster, but not a lot to keep me interested. I didn't like how the meta revolved around the same 5 characters, and it had so few stages to play on if you wanted to play seriously.
Don't get me started on the singleplayer content, that shit's important in a Smash game too. I feel like that becomes overlooked these days.

> Buying Smash for the single player content

Yeah, this has been my dream since '13 and I recorded offline matches with a camcorder and ran a recording setup

Sorry to hurt your feelings, but I like game modes with a modicum of thought put into them. Not just "lul everything is random xD" bullshit.

nah it sucked dick and was poorly implemented

you couldn't even interact with other characters on the map to fuck each other over and steal their power ups

and events at the end were terrible and not diverse enough.

>Individual Break the Targets levels

>Race to the Finish
>Adventure Mode
>Event Mode
>Actual aerial momentum in a platform-based game
>Practical and stylish as fuck menus
>Cool, fun mini-games like the coin launcher
>Being able to look up skirts

Even if newer Smash games do add some cool things, they also remove a bunch.
I can sort of excuse the lack of individual BTP and BTT, because making levels for 70+ characters could take a lot of effort, but something like Race to the Finish, Homerun Contest and Multi-man Melee are such braindead inclusions. Makes NO sense to not have them there.
Multi-man Melee is literally just bots on existing stages.
For homerun Contest, they probably could have re-used the assets from Brawl and cleaned up some textures.
Race to the Finish is probably a little trickier, since every character needs to be able to actually make it to the goal.
Still, I really wish they would bring stuff like this back. To this day, Brawl is still the best Smash game when it came to fun content and that's fucking sad.

Attached: 1541094643042.png (502x400, 106K)

I have tons of nostalgia about watching matches recorded that way with people getting hype in the background. You were doing Gods work to actually film unstreamed matches.

>better newcomers

Maybe third parties but the design philosphy behind smash 4s newcomers was "were they in a recent game?" And literally nothing else exceot for duck hunt and little mac.

Why do meleefags hate heavy characters?

b-but user o-only the m-multiplayer matters!!

"Everyone was Here" was a mistake, they brought back all the characters, but that also meant that they had to cut down the content that was featured in previous games and barely having any single player content

I just want trophies back, that was a Smash stable, and seeing Ultimate without it feels incomplete. Imagine all the new Castlevania models we could have had.

What pains me the most is that all of these cool side modes could easily have implemented online leaderboards, complete with replays uploaded.
It would be really cool to be able to see BTT strats and try to copy them. I know me and my friend spent days and days trying to perfect BTT co-op in Brawl and watching Youtube videos to see how it was done. That shit was amazing and it's really sad to see it gone.

I don't know if you people make these threads to draw out hate, or if you genuinely want people to discuss melee.

It's crystal clear to me that melee will literally never die. It takes me less than 30 seconds to match with one person and we usually play for over an hour. I literally need one person in the socal region socal want to play for me to get full enjoyment out of the game, not to mention irl friends.

There's been tons of new players who are coming from Ultimate actually, since all anyone needs is a gaming monitor and the gc adapter.
The crucial aspect here is that better players offer tons of advice and players can chat with each other about the game, since it is mechanically deep enough to have good conversation about.
And due to the p2p nature of netplay, I end up meeting lots of online friends at local tournaments and a physical community is formed through a 20yo game, which literally no other online pvp game does.

Living in socal is a blessing. I can get matches with people 24 hours a day

Trophies and other dumb modes were never the main selling point of Smash. It's the smashing part.

Competitive Smash is played locally and not online with shitty lag. Go to your local and fight the big boys.

i have a crappy thinkpad that can barely run something like WoW but i get consistent 60 on dolphin on it

the input lag and buffer is never going away and makes the game feel weird

online will never be as good as netplay (it's pretty much perfect)

lack of aerial momentum will always makes movement feel unsatisfying

competitive will always be a fuckton of neutral and defined combos to be airdodged out of

isabelle will never be good

I don't think ultimate will last very long. The game is still being learned so it has the melee fanbase for now but even watching it has gotten so stale so quickly. Lucina being a really dominant character should indicate that the game is very simplistic and neutral-based.

Nobody actually smart is arguing for a Puff ban, Leffen is a fucking idiot that happens to be a savant at fighting games.

leffen is also not fighting for a puff ban so i don't know why you bring him up

yea you could make the argument that any of the top 3 are the "best" in the game

>fox
highest tech skill ceiling obviously, but requires that much of an operator while also being the most susceptible to combos and techchases

>marth
best all-around neutral tools, but requires the most finesse to execute punishes in certain matchups (sheik, puff)with a super nuanced combo game at top levels

>puff
easiest top char by far with the lowest techskill ceiling, best edgeguarding, strongest read punish, and highest survivability except against fox
her bair alone is enough to win entire tournaments because of its simple application via her insane air mobility

I personally like Armada's ordering. If PPMD were around Marth could be 2nd since we're losing all our best Fox players to fatigue and PPMD makes Marth look broken af.

There are so many resources for players now that I have no doubt that people will level up to fill the place of the gods

Yeah him repeating over and over "I'm not saying puff should be banned, but here's why I think puff should be banned" definitely means he doesn't want her banned

Nothing will ever top Melee for someone who adores it as much as the so called Meleefags, so please understand that no Smash game will ever go away, don't wait for a game to top another, be excited for what's new, respect other's tastes, and have fun.

in SF4 rounds actually end. SSBU is just trading one-hit for one-hit endlessly until someone is just so damn high they'll die off a throw. Stocks last too long. There's no consistent way to edgeguard like you can in melee. Neutral's fine as long as the punish can be rewarding i.e stocks are actually taken

>ppmd
We already have zain, who's been doing shit no one's been able to implement until now. But pp will come out of retirement soon, so your point is still valid

There is some combo game in Ultimate, but only for a few characters. Most of them are still reliant on semi-combos and airdodge baits.

nothing for playing, but it can make top-level play boring to watch, which is why no one likes watching SF in general,

SF also uses health so survivability isn't a factor, but no one wants to see inkling put off stage 10 times in a row by stray neutral hits and ledgetraps.

nobody cares that meleefags are still playing an old game. they care about how autistic meleefags are over playing their old game and the unreasonable burdens they place on tournament operators.
it's hard to take meleefags seriously when they pretend to be above getting upset at people for playing other games, because meleefags are the fanbase that booed guilty gear for not being melee.

Melee is fucking sick

Nothing except the same old boring meta that's been in place the past 12 years, meleefags are honestly pathetic

Several reasons. Emulation is not 100% accurate or safe. There may be issues with frames dropping, or different set-ups might encounter some issues.
Another is that Nintendo won't like emulation, so say good buy to large tourneys with streams on Twitch.

This is just flat out wrong. The ''Puff dies early'' is a meme and not really true, but in no way does she have the highest survivability.
Characters like Samus, Peach and even Yoshi have a much easer time living due to their weight and/or recovery.

Hbox slowly is becoming the best melee player in history, he's dominating the competitive scene right now, and is slowly outdoing Armada.

Ultimate is really mediocre. I had fun for a couple days but had to go back to Melee.

Based Meleechads stealing money from retarded underage ultimatefags

This is such a shallow metric of quality. Having 80 viable characters isn't a sign of an excellent and deep game design if the mechanics are one dimensional and the strategy gimmicky. What's important to good gameplay is the depth of mechanics and strategy and having decent enough roster to apply that to. So far Ultimate's high level game has proven to be quite cheesy.

if character variety is all you care about, just seeing different characters, then you probably have ADD or are just retarded. melee has less characters being played but each player has such a unique and different playstyle that is just not present in ultimate. compare s2j's hyper aggressive balls to the wall, sick falcon to wizzy's incredibly calculated, safe, defensive style of play. such playstyle variety does not and cannot exist in later titles. there's barely even playstyle variety between the different characters in ultimate, it's just everyone spamming nair until someone gets caught enough times.

Melee manages to not only have a better singleplayer, but a better online with multiplayer with anther's ladder too.

>Home run contest
All of these are so much better than world of light which is a bloated mess. Spirits are also so much worse than trophies as they are just thrown at you, and after a certain point they just lose all value, and they don't even have descriptions. Not to mention melee also has
>A unique animated intro, something never seen again (every intro just reuses other clips)
>An announcer that says the name of the fucking game at the start menu
>Netplay which better scales your skill vs. your opponents, a ranking system that actually makes sense, a ladder system which lets you see the top players, giving you a clear goal in mind
There's more young melee players now. Zain and ginger are both amazing and are in their early 20s. Also, armada is only like 26, hbox is 25, leffen is 24.

If you have a router made in the past few years its fine, most people are still on potato wifi from 10 years ago and they wonder why wireless sucks so much.

That'd explain it, then. I got a new one in 2015.

Smash Ultimate is a much better game and you fucking know it. The dash tech far exceeds air dodging on the ground.

>Dash tech
Nigga what

>neets in charge of knowing what day of the week it is or what time it is, literally no concept of work
>shitposters not knowing that Melee gets its views from tournaments and not individual players streaming for fun

Yes

>1,300 views for the ancient game versus 4,600 for the new Hotness that's only 3 months old

Yeah it's already in decline.

They think acting out of dash somehow saves the game from being shit. Even though you can already do that in melee with a wavedash

The lack of character diversity is greatly exaggerated.
Genesis 6 top 8 had Jigglypuff, Marth, Yoshi, Pikachu, Falco, Sheik and Falcon. With the exception of two players, everyone played different characters.

Even so, no one who cares about Melee cares about character diversity. To be honest, most mid/low tiers have really limited options. That's why they aren't winning.
While characters like Fox and Falco have a seemingly endless amount of options available in any given situation, allowing for an extremely expressive playstyle.
I think people who complain about the ''Fox only'' shit just don't understand Melee. You have a LOT more varied and interesting interactions happening in pretty much any given Fox ditto than you'd have among most of the low tiers.
Look at characters like Zelda, Bowser, Pichu or Kirby. They can do fuck all except spam their one or two options that aren't pure garbage. Why would people want more of that?

This right here is why Sakurai refuses to pander to those retards.

>tournaments

You mean those things that have a fraction of the exposure and profits of streaming does?

Seething.

Yeah thats why he panders to rosterfags while leaving the gameplay shit.

If melee wasn't Nintendo characters I would still play it

>profits
lol, definitely new to this whole Melee thing. The exposure is not less at all dipshit, many more thousands of viewers watch tournaments than rando netplay streams. Money isn't what Melee players are after, and evidently the people that compete and run tournaments make enough to keep doing it or we wouldn't have anything.

Sakurai is a hack who pretends like his self sabotage is on some ideological high ground.

No shit, retard. Why would he pander to a niche audience when he could reel in the larger, casual crowd who gives no fucks about gameplay?

Melee fox has more diverse playstyles than the entirety of ultimate's roster. I'm gonna be honest here, the only people who disagree with the fact that melee is the best smash game are either casuals, or people who have buyer's remorse because they can't fathom that they paid 300$ for a switch, 20$ for online, and 60$ for the game to ultimately (no pun intended) have a worse experience than a game that you can play on an emulator for much less.

I bet you thought you had a point and everything when you typed that out. You cracked the code user!

u mad lol

At a tournament you share exposure, when you stream your team can literally have you plug sponsors at anytime for hours on end

Nigga streaming is the future of esports

Or maybe they're not fucking obsessed with playstyles and just want to have fun with a crossover game? You ever think about that?

That's what he said. Casuals.

>Melee fox has more diverse playstyles than the entirety of ultimate's roster
This level of delusion is obscene

Holy shit he's actually seething, fucking lmao meleefags need to kill themselves pronto.

Melee doesn't give a shit about the future of esports. You don't share exposure during a tournament, you work your ass off and earn it through winning. I've been a viewer and a player for years and recent success at a tournament will do more for a streamer than anything else they could do, except for Mang0 but he's the exception to the rule since he can be entertaining and stream other games than just Melee.

Not really, when you actually look at ultimate's roster you'll notice how bloated it is. Lots of characters play exactly the same usually with 1 character clearly outclassing the rest in their archetype. Pichu completely outclasses basically every rush down character for instance.

It's not quite at that point but the diversity of Ultimate is illusory. For example there are 76 characters but hardly 76 playstyles. Many of the characters have practically identical strategies and there is not even enough strategic variety to improvise different playstyles out of the same characters.

It's funny to me that what he's saying is so unbelievable to Yea Forums when I know it firsthand. No two Foxes play the same.

he mentioned casuals you retard

Take a shower.

People like mango exist because of esports team and sponsors. Do you think any of the gods could have had as long of win streaks as they had with only tournament winnings? Do you think teams are going to keep valuing tournament results when streaming makes them more money then they ever could by just having player playing the game competitively? Do you think anyone would play melee if no teams where picking up players for it?

to be fair, Daisy and Simon are just straight up inferior versions of Peach and Richter. Call it 74 if you must include Echoes.

And if no one thought that a team would pick them up when they got to that point do to think there would be that many people still playing. PG fired a melee player and an ultimate player to pick up 2 more ultimate players.

What dose that tell you about the prospects of teamhood for the aspiring melee player?

>He doesn't clean up stocks with the DAFT
lmao

I don't know why you're thinking of money so much, Melee players like the game and will play it regardless as long as they can get to the tournaments somehow. Streaming is completely optional for even a top 10 Melee player. The community is pretty good at crowdfunding and sometimes that's how a foreing player gets to a big major when they otherwise couldn't. Melee isn't going to be some Fortnite household name and we never tried to be. We just like Melee and we'll show up when we can. Sponsors help, and some see some success streaming, but nobody's kidding themselves into thinking that we're oh so interested in anything but the gameplay and occasionally getting to know other members of the community.

Yes people would still be playing. You don't go into Melee for money you go into it because its actually fun and rewarding. Crazy concept I know.

Mango didn't get picked up until 2014 and had played melee for 10 years already by that point.

Outsiders don't understand that melee existed for almost a decade before any substantial amount of money was put into the game. Now that it's basically free for anyone with a decent gaming rig, it will actually never die while other pro gamers look for money so they can literally make gaming a job.

Kermit said it best. The reason Melee isn't coming back to EVO is because of its repetitive 30 minutes of mango vs. mew2king and other fuckery. Not to mention the fact that they had to use old ass TV sets to hook up. It wasn't going anywhere and everyone is happy that it's gone. Make room for new games that offer new characters and challenges. Because Melee sure as shit can't do that with its limitations.

It amazes me how much Yea Forums doesn't understand gaming competition, let alone Melee.

This isn't healthy Yea Forums, you can't waste your lives typing about things you don't even know or seemingly care about.

You can instantly tell when someone doesn't know anything about Melee. They always use the same sort of rhetoric and always falls back on the stinky day meme when they get called out.
Then again, they are the same people who post shit like in picture related. Even if some of them pretend to like Melee, it's obvious that they don't play it much.

What's your practice setup like? I've never been one much for labbing so I don't know all of the mods and such that are out there, but that looks interesting

64 is the second best easily but the lack of DI(besides sdi) and generally worse ground movement makes it slightly worse.

defensive play always got reeee'd at depending on the game. Nobody like runaway storm, morridoom (not really defensive but different from the rest of the game, etc.It's all about what a game is perceived to be and what "violates" the spirit of it. The cause of reee varies but it has always existed

Melee is a pretty defensive game, but offense works too. That's what makes it good, you can control the pace depending on the matchup and stage. A character like Puff is defensive when it's safe to do so and offensive when it's safe to do so, which is a pretty quick explanation but hopefully one that can shed some light on why it's frustrating to play and fight the character.

>he didn't have a brother that became his training partner when you both learned about tournaments for the first time
just tell him you're a casual and you don't care then. It's not that competitive players care too much, they just play the game a different way than you do. A way that leads them to other like-minded competitors eventually. Quit whining, if there was ever a game that afforded you access to large amounts of casuals and competitive players alike, it's Smash.

You can reverse it by tapping the opposite direction before pressing B. You can do this with every special.
It's how Falco/Fox can do retreating lasers. It's a bit tricky at first, but becomes second nature.

I understand what you are saying but I win against him 75% of the time. I'm mainly play G&W/Shulk and he Wario/Ganon. I'm only saying it sucks because I don't have his mentality, I don't have the time or energy to play this game competitively. I say tell him that maybe he should look into local tournaments and such since he seems so invested, but he just dodges the suggestion and ignores it.

oh thats actually cool. melee forever

Maybe because
>smash is dead
Nintendies can’t even accept it lmao cope
