Apex 2015 was so hype, I might just learn how to play Melee.

The purpose of this thread is purely speculation, and if that's not welcome then feel free to move or remove this thread as you see fit, mods. How do you think Melee is going to grow in 2015? Any new stage bans, unbans? A shift in the tier list (whether you believe in tier lists or not)? A...

There's hate on Smash 4 because some people are immature, the same reason why Brawl/64/Smash 4 players will refer to Melee players at times in derogatory slang ("autists", "aspies", etc). The more levelheaded players in both camps enjoy their game and don't have a problem with, or even take part...

Hi guys. Not really well versed in Smash etiquette. How disrespectful is it to use someone else's nametag, on a scale of 1-10 if they're present, and if they aren't present?

If you start using this and see some way that Mac can beat it, please PM me and tell me the solution.

I've got about 60% wins. I've found that, playing as Little Mac, I can literally do nothing against ZSS stun -> grab -> uthrow -> aerial. This causes me to go to above 50% quickly and then all they have to do is throw me offstage instead of doing uthrow. It's obnoxious and I usually quit when I...

>This doesn't have anything to do with being surprised, it has to do with equal opportunity. If I play a low-tier character against a high-tier character, it's not an equal chance of victory. I can close that gap, effectively balancing the match, through equipment. Granted, my opponent can also...

I don't like how this community somehow has it in their heads (at least some people in the community) that extremely small boons to a character and slight variability in the kind of, say, Pikachu that you play against suddenly means that the worse player will win. You wouldn't see this in...

Mac can do almost nothing against ZSS as far as I can tell. If you're playing against a good Mac, just switch to ZSS. I usually just SD and switch opponents if someone switches to ZSS because of how little Mac can do.

The ONLY characters I've had trouble with as Mac are DHD, ZSS, Samus, and Ness. I literally have not won a match against ZSS. There is nothing that Mac can do against stun -> grab -> uthrow -> any air attack. If I'm wrong, someone tell me. This usually results in me being 2-0'd.

Mac needs to be close in order to hit. He has super armor, which helps when you're getting hit. But some characters have really good grab range. The only chance you get is if they misread the grab and then you really only have time to do a dash attack or a quick up smash. I've literally been in...

I've been playing Little Mac since the game came out pretty much nonstop. OP, you have to master side B and also know when to shield. There's a lag associated with throwing projectiles; it's not constant. Shield, advance, shield, rollback, and so on until you get into perfect short side B range...

If it's not 64 or Smash 4, it's not worth watching IMHO. I have never been excited by Melee in any way, personally. In fact, I haven't touched a GC controller in years -- but my 64 controllers are still being used at least once a week. 64 is frankly better than Melee in every way except in the...

Any player who's good without items should also be good with items. Like it or not, they're part of the game. You can't say you're good at Smash if a few items ruins the game for you. All stages should be allowed. I can't think of a single stage which is absolutely unplayable. And I can't think...

Yeah, I get that time limits are important in tourneys, which is why I wouldn't impose the time limit free 10 stock standard I usually play in my free time on any of the other games. But 3 stocks at 8 minutes is perfectly reasonable. Add 30-90 seconds max for each player to do custom...
