If someone asks me to explain melee in a short answer it can be quite difficult. I wanted to explain melee to some friends but I had some trouble. I was wondering what you guys think.

A nostalgic fighting game with easy to learn controls, and all your favorite Nintendo chars. It also just happens to have arguably the most dedicated competitive community, and depth deeper than the Mariana trench.

It's an old game for the Nintendo GameCube that's developed a large competitive scene with a lot of learning involved if you want to get into it. Also Fox.

Precise, emergent, deep game play that's easy to learn but would take a lifetime to master. The best money you can spend on a fighting game as long as you are willing to put in the work.

or

The last multi-player Nintendo game where player skill, experience, and practice time were actually rewarded with corresponding results.

Let's not be ignorant. Marvel and anime-styled FGs (like cyberbots ) >> melee

On-topic: multiplayer game that's amazingly deep.

Opinions. Baby_Sneak is not intelligent enough to understand how they work yet.

One day perhaps...

A game so good that it has lasted for 15 years. The fastest game of chess and strategy that can be played, it is extremely competitive, but is great to play at all levels of play.

2D sumo and way too much red bull and 5 hour energy.
Full of dedicated people who just want to be good at a game.
Edit: Fast and technical, simple controls yet deep mechanics. A game of realtime chess and hype

Super Smash Bros. Melee is a fast-paced fighting game where 2-4 players can duke it out using various Nintendo characters in many popular locations from their games. You can play casually with items on on any stage, but there is also a popular competitive scene without items on certain stages.

Super Smash Brothers Melee was released in 2001 for the Nintendo Gamecube. Soon after, some stupid f*cking hackers found out about waddledashing and lag canceling, now its not the fun party game it was always intended to be.
