How come Project M hasn't replaced Melee for Competitive play?

There really isn't any one answer in this case. For one, it's a mod....yeah not a great reason, but people use that to justify their negative output regardless. Two, it get nerfs buffs yada yada(Still not a great reason IMO). Three, some people feel more comfortable in the Melee environment(an opinion in which I have not damning evidence against). And fourthly but obviously not the only possible reason of who knows how many, neither Cranky Kong or Pichu are playable.

Wenz Kranky?

I'd rather just see them both be popular. Even though I won't play Melee lol
