If Melee Had Extended Development Time

[DreamyMystX64]

After seeing this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQxwqicJKC4

I ought to make a topic all about this and what would you had done if Melee had more development time.

What I'd do differently is have the game release in 2003 rather than 2001/2002.

Yeah, but who cares?

The Melee board isn’t as active as the Ultimate board, so deal with me posting it here instead.

I did notice there (at the Melee board), someone made the same topic about this already, and I didn’t even know that existed in the first place before I made this topic.
