    Legality Melee Recommended Ruleset Update v1.1

    Mostly due to wording/vagueness. On that note, does this force Ice Climber players to wear tags if elected, or is it solely restricted to costume color? I ask this because of fear of potential issues such as buffing elemental moves and character discrimination. eg, forcing an Ice Climber player...

    Evo 2016 Trailer Released!

    Lots of Melee footage in the trailer seems like a healthy sign we're not done yet. ONE MORE YEAR!

    Health Spotlight: CVS (With A Giveaway!)

    I've been meaning to purchase a pair of Gunnars, but they are rather expensive. They seem like something worth putting money into in the long run to dodge getting CVS though.

    Mewtwo top tier?

    Short answer: No. Long answer: Absolutely not. Mewtwo doesn't have the right tool set to contest characters like Fox and Falco. Mewtwo's relatively slow in the air, has punishable moves and terrible throws (you can SDI them), and has a pretty gimp-able recovery. He has his share of options he...

    Best examples of Roy's viability?

    Watch Sethlon's Roy. He's got one of the best Melee Roy's in the world, and can beat a skilled Fox.

    Is Doc Viable?

    In Melee, Doc definitely has the tools to contest some of the better characters in the game, but his lackluster recovery holds him back a bit. I'd say that's less of a case in Smash 4.

    You can ledge grab with Doc's dash attack?!

    Wow, Doc has even more hidden abilities.

    How do you play the Doc?

    Pills and grabs at low percents, then at mid percents I like to use nair approaches and jab - dsmash. Dash attack works as an approach at higher percents when CC is less of a factor, and can combo into moves like his Uair. At later percents I usually finish with a well-spaced f-smash, d-smash...

    Which spacie has a good balance of offense and defense?

    I feel like Falco has better offense/defense than Fox does, but that's not to say they both don't have tools to play either way. Falco plays defensively with lasers, and offensively with pillars. Fox on the other hand plays a bit more free-form and executes his options differently. If you're...

    Short hopping

    I just tap X lightly. The key to short hopping is releasing the button before Fox leaves his 3 frames of jump squat.

    Having difficulty getting handoffs

    Don't hit down to far on the stick or else Nana will crouch. Be gentle with your inputs and watch for the green flash to know when to buffer a regrab.

    Melee Netplay Community Build - 0.2.0 released!

    You can hit down on the d-pad on the character selection screen to quickly enable rumble, but, if you would rather, you can use Gecko codes to enable/disable it from the get-go. Open up Dolphin and right click on your Community Build ISO, then select properties and go to the gecko codes tab...
