I wouldn't mind melee going away if PM wasn't killed off by Nintendo, since smash 4 plays so differently than the earlier iterations that people prefer one or the other

The FGC isn't that much better with people like Noel Brown who beat the poo poo out of girlfriend and I think he did it twice, he also got into a fist fight on stream with someone else. I'm sure there's more people like that but he's all I can recall right now.

Then again professional sports players aren't that much better, lol

True, it just seems like the filth in the Melee scene floats more to the surface and everyone latches onto that but there's just as much crap in the rest of the eSport scene. I don't think any dirt has been covered up but M2Ks fans were quick to defend him when the accusations of him jacking off in other people's beds came to light.

I'm going to keep the thread updated on all instances of harassment and skullduggery related to Smash for Switch. I just put it a Google alert, so the second someone gropes someone while playing this as of yet unannounced game, you'll know it. Unless it happens at Treehouse or Mario Club in localization and testing, as they handle these kinds of accidents through HR and arbitration most likely, and details would be unlikely to become public.

It's p good. It's the first fighting game I ever bothered to follow closely and git gud at. They released the story mode as free DLC, and they're on the second season of new characters.

I think Melee is finally dying. It had less entrants than Smash 4 this year at CEO, and top 8 wasn't even on the last day.

CEO and genesis had lower turnouts, but most other Smash majors I looked up had about the same or more entrants. Plus you can't really say this and not ignore the general FGC numbers also being lower compared to last years too.

The fact that the entire FGC has not forever exiled Marn who is actively terrible is worse to me imo

I'm gonna put this out there before it blows up:

One time I looked up pictures of the Smash Brothers, and then I walked across the street after the crosswalk signal had changed to a blinking hand.

I like my Kirby avatar.


Topic of Melee is that it's just the same 4-5 dudes every single time and nothing else and everything surrounding them is super cringe inducing to me. Like I keep seeing unironic posts around evo last year about how THE FOUR GODS ARE HERE TO PLAY and just kill it already. Let the 4 people who play it just livestream matches themselves or something if they don't want to get with the times.

We should lock them away in dungeons on the four corners of the Earth, but seek them out if the moon is going to fall, and play the oath to order so they can make us tech right off that sucker.

When I learned some Melee players refuse to play in tournaments without a short circuited Wavebird I realized they should retire that game. Or make an HD online Switch version while the real Smash sequel is in development.

Nah wavebirds are never used in tournaments because they get too much interference. It'd be hilarious if they did cause those are getting to be very expensive, I can't imagine trying to hunt down one that is broken in the way they want em to be.

They wouldn't play the HD online version unless it's compatible with their broken GCN controller and also has that same bug that requires said controller. They're divas.

Looks like I was slightly wrong and it might not have been a wavebird.

I'd rather have Smash 4 Deluxe with a bunch more stuff added than a Melee HD. I can't go back to a game that doesn't have King Dedede and Bayonetta.

Make Melee HD + and add all of the characters and stages from Smash 4. Boom, everyone's happy.

Though, I can't imagine how loving broken Bayonetta would be in Melee.
