Bacon Maken 1. One of the best parts of Melee on a competitive level is edgeguarding and the dynamic risk/reward it allows for with Edge Hog (which was removed in 4 and Ultimate) acting as a safe option. 2. The hitstun is so short in Ultimate that there isn’t any period where the player getting hit is vulnerable to follow up but can DI to escape 3. Melee is the only entry (aside from PM) that has fast characters and has characters retain ground momentum when they jump 4. It is widely agreed upon by Melee theorycrafters that Marth has a 60-40 matchup against Fox

I say this as a person with avisual disability who has constnatly had to deal with the discrimination of "Oh you can't see well, guess you need help right?" As in the person assuming something of me before they know me. I don't wan them to think of me that way AND i dont' want myself to think of them in a bad way. If you want to talk to me more about this, try and find me on Skype I guess cause it's a mindset I hold strong. Bottom line, to me, all discrimination is equally bad and we should all take steps to be a lot more sensitive about our word choices.

That would require playing Melee on Dolphin, an emulator on PC and buying completely new hardware for 120hz monitors (if we take the "Faster Melee" route). As of right now, Melee has almost no money for a hardware infrastructure change, and most importantly, it would possibly sever the minuscule ties and support from Nintendo we've desperately worked to get since MLG dropped Melee. Despite how useless I believe Nintendo's sponsorship for most major Smash tournaments have been (mostly paperwork for rights to stream the game and sometimes Nintendo Switch Demos at Smash events), its a sign of progress for the community. Nintendo would surely refuse to sponsor events based upon downloaded and or ripped copies of the game.

Look, I love playing Smash, it's a very fun game, but even from the outside, the Smash community is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, and I personally have absolutely no interest of interacting with it in any way because of the overall toxicity that it exudes.

I have noticed that a few TOs are trying to get things cleaned up by making the players follow basic rules like "Clean up if you leave a mess" and "Don't throw controllers", things that should be common sense, but shit like this, when your #1 player decides that if he can't have things his way, he's going to take his ball and go home, only makes the community look more childish and worse overall.

I knew the SBFP brethren would come back to this video today hehe.. *salutes*

Y'know, I'd be down with saying the tourneys provide gear. But 9/10 melee groups can't afford or don't have a venue with a million CRTs or whatnot. Wait, so melee would die out faster. DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT

​@@comingupooo It has so much financial potential. The fact that its still a scene even without Nintendo's support shows that with Nintendo's help it'd be even greater. Rerelease melee, or Melee HD, huge amount of money right there. Port it to the switch, make more gamecube controllers. It also seems that none of the other 3 releases have the staying power. You don't have to innovate with Melee, whereas they tried to slow it down with brawl to amazing failure. Then smash 4 was better excluding DLC to win with Bayo and Cloud. Ultimate might have the ability to stick around for a little longer than both of those games combined by taking some aspects from melee. It's not free of issues though. New game, Melee could die, chances are slim. TLDR Melee's working, where Brawl and 4 kinda dropped off. They can easily do melee again, and call it meleeHD. Make a large stake in the highly profitable competitive market without having to innovate. eventually roll out very small patches to the game, slowly trickle in new characters, fix some game breaking bugs.

@@lupinektj2002 No it doesn't, stop lying to yourself. Melee is a dead game that has been milked by an insane fanbase who refuses to move on and because of this they think they're important at evo. No one cares about Melee other than this small, niche, fanbase. Fighterz became the most viewd game at evo in it's history while melee just had a bunch of losers break and exploit their game to make it look cool. Like really? A guy quits a tourny because his controller wasn't broken enough to consistently break the game with? Oh wait my bad "play" the game with? Everyone in the fgc looks at melee like a joke, it's not even a damn fighting game and you guy's insist on putting on the same pedestal as Sf, Tekken, Fighterz, Blaz blue, guilty gear, etc. What Pat said was absolutely correct (for once) this games fanbase is a cult, only a cult would bitch and moan about other games that came out after because they're not exploitable enough, so instead of adapting you play melee. That's what the root of this problem is, you losers spent nearly 18 years breaking this game and fucking up your hands and because of this you refuse to play the other games because you don't want to learn the newer, less broken mechanics. Basically my thesis is this; you melee players REALLY do stink, and should get out of your basement and experience something else in life and actually try to have FUN.

As a melee player myself, I just want to say that i do agree with pat even though I’m part of the community. A lot of people can be toxic in the community but I understand where he’s coming from. If u can’t play at the same level as everyone else, then you don’t deserve to win EVO.

Melee is not at EVO this year so Pat is probably happy right now.

It's like a tool-assisted speedrunner demanding to have their times listed with speedrunners using no outside assists. Sure, his times are faster, and they're the results of techniques other speedrunners probably couldn't do even if you gave them the same tools, but when there are skills or techniques hard-stuck behind tools, mods, or broken controllers, it's a fundamentally different class of play.

Like it or not, he speaks the truth.

Pat is so right that its causing me to fade away from this plane of existence

The people saying in the comments that the majority of Melee players aren't like this baffle me. I'm a 64 player, I mod the game extensively. I get melee players coming to me constantly asking me to make the game more like melee, PM64 this, make wavedashing that. Any time I tell them no, I have no interest in doing that nor does any other 64 modder, they become an obnoxious pissbaby and make fun of me, saying this is why nobody likes 64. Fuck Melee, and its community. If you can't respect me, why should I be forced to respect you or risk having my game banned from Multi game smash tourneys because you need more fucking doubles timeslots?

No one said that smash was intended by Sakurai for competitive play. Also every gamecube controller can backdash, its just some do it better than others. So, Armada wasn't looking for a controller that can do a technique other controllers can't do, he was looking for a controller that could more consistently do that technique. Whether that controller can consistently back dash or not is completely random out of the box. It is completely out of a players control. If your oppontent happened to order a controller online that turned out to be better than yours, you're at a disadvantage.

@GeneralErlend

BlueBlazer While I agree mostly with your statement, I think you are misunderstanding something. There are no longer any "standard" equipment (controllers) for Melee. Every controller these days are and feels different when playing the game. If you can point to a gamecube controller and say "this one is standard, everyone should use it", then fine. However, this simply isn't possible. And while Smash was never intended for competitive play, the first two just happened to be competitive viable (and for the most part pretty darn good ones at that, aside from the obvious inconsistent character balance past the top characters). Also, I'm pretty sure everyone has enjoyed the game's content to its fullest. At some point though, you are going to get bored, so you can choose to either take a break, move on, or do something different (like playing competitively, making speedruns, whatever you want to do).

Also, by the logic of "removing game content" to play competitively, wouldn't that mean that USF4, GGXX, and any traditional fighter with any casual content that is available in versus mode would be "removed" for the sake of competitive play (Edition select for USF4 and GGXXAC+R, and EX and Gold characters are removed from GGXX, Unlimited characters would be removed from BlazBlue, and the Extra Menu would be removed from GGXX, all for the sake of competitive play). Also saying Smash shouldn't be played competitively because all of the characters are balanced for the casual modes is actually stupid (because some characters are better than others for the other modes too ie. Jigglypuff would be extremely easy to kill if you land a bombomb or a instakilling Pokemon on her, and Samus can crouch cancel and survive to extremely high percents).

Back here again after the Hungrypox Incident

Hmm, I wonder if the smash reddit has been here. Something tells me they were

I know this video is a few months old now, but I just wanted to say that typing in "melee" in the KZread search bar and having "melee players crying" be the first suggestion is kind of amazing.

In short, when dashing your controller has to pass the "walk" area of the joystick, when dashing forward you have a 2 frame leeway window where it ignores the walk input if the input on the next frame is a dash input. However this does not exist on backdash, the window is only 1 frame (programming oversight i guess) meaning if the game reads your joystick just as it passes the walk area it will do a slow turn (5-9 frames depending on character) and then start dashing. Normal controllers have around 75 & success rate doing dashback while the busted controllers have up towards 95 % success rate. 4 extra frames might not sound that much but since tilts and such changes moves you can accidentally do a completely different move in a different place than what you intended, for no fault of your own. Since you never know if your dashback is gonna work or not it makes them risky to use (but also an integral part of the game), and missing a dashback at high level could basically kill you (since top player punish game is so advanced). The workaround is to be frame perfect whenever you want to dashback, since if you dashback on the first available frame after you have had lag (from like, attacking) this "bug" can't happen. This is also inconsistent, not to mention sometimes you don't always want to dashback immediately.

Smash is a party game

I had no idea about the controller thing. So very specific controllers can give players an advantage due to a special defect? And people complain if they can’t get that controller? My interpretation (I could be wrong cause I know little about fighting games, let alone Melee [the second worst Smash game] “I wanna play Ryu in the next tournament but I won’t do it if my controller DOESN’T have the gun button. If not that I’m like everyone else which is actually fair but I don’t want that.” Pat is 100% right, that’s bollocks

It'd be more accurate to say the controller fixes a glitch. Imagine if SFV had a glitch where 50% of the time you inputed back it just dropped the input However for some reason a certain brand of stick caused the glitch to only happen 95% of the time as opposed to 50% in this hypothetical situation you'd either be forced to use that brand of stick or wait for Capcom to patch it.
