Melee online? Wait, but brawl fits into the equation.

See, if there's this WIFI thing, and .. a WII can read gamecube games... Smash melee online could possibly be playable over it?

Yeah. If it happens Id really freak out and get a wii immediatly. :laugh:

A few months ago I heard that some team was developing middleware that would allow you to play GC games online with the Wii. But I have no idea of who those people are, when they're going to release the first beta, what their website is, or if it's even true.

Well that sounds promising.

I don't thinks so becouse when Brawl hits Melee might (Probably) be left in the dust. Not that no one will play it. It's 6 years old and they wouldn't bother adding anything when a brand new Game of the same series is out.

It wont hurt anyone, im not trying to say replace brawl online with melee online, but I think a lot of people who've been addicted to melee all these years would rejoice at online, even with lag, whatever, just for the sake of playing a game we love.

I can see it happening, I think theres a chance.. thats all really.

Never gonna happen. Games do not "magically" get an online mode because its being run on an updated console. Although your innocence is nice to watch.


and btw Dylan, there was actually someone who managed to get Melee to work Online. It required a lot of material, modding, and setup, but it worked (somewhat...)

I remember hearing that there were lag issues, and you cannot play as Peach or Luigi because they have "random" values for Turnip and Green Missile, so if you use one of those moves, it's possible for the other person to not see the same random values, and thus causing a Desync.


And as many people said... Melee will be left in the dust when Brawl is released. In fact, you should just leave it as well. It had it's run man, 6 years and it kept going strong. Melee is now passing the Baton over to Brawl, and it is our job as a community to make sure that Brawl becomes even greater than Melee ever has been.

Cool, thanks for the support. This isn't going anywhere really, im just glad to see other people share the same hopes.

Id actually be suprised to meet a smash player who wouldnt think that melee on wifi would be a bad idea..

Save it for some other dip**** quitter. I'm not with you, I never will be.

No one playing melee? Fine, I guess I become the best in the world then. Wait, I don't care about the world, so long as I have a local scene going, I just wanna compete inside my city. Ill hold tourneys, people love melee, they'll always come.

Won't let it die. Enjoy your stickers.

My copy paste thing is broken. Pertend I copy pasted the first two paragraphs here
Yeah i was aware of that other melee online thing that nobody had except maybe 5-6 people and I saw a video of someone playing on it and he wasnt even good at all.

And I know its a pipe dream. haha

It's availibie Dec 3rd (hopefully) and humans are born with free choice, and the ability to make decisions regarding which course of action to take.

But let's not get too technical here. I'm just pointing out that you're being redundant.

Well, the original SSB is still pretty popular, although that might be because that's the only version you can play online (without too much hassle, anyway).

among the figments of your imagination
I know I'll still be playing Melee every now and then, even if Brawl surpasses the wildest of dreams and expectations of awesomeness. as for Melee online, I'd love it, if it happens, but I don't think it will be happening.

Local Scene?

dude, I am in the same Local Scene as you (Montreal).

I won't speak for anyone of course, but I am fairly certain that Smash For Fun 2 will be the last big Melee tournament. (That's if you can even call it "big" compared to tournaments hosted in the states, where they have 100+ people, we barely hit 30 players). Bi-Weeklies will probably be transformed into Brawl specific, or be terminated completely until the Brawl meta game starts to form.

and yes, of course Melee will still be enjoyed after Brawl is released.... but then again, so is Super Smash Bros. 64, but how many tournaments and local smash fests are held for that?

Like I said in my first post (which you seem to have completely ignored); Playing Brawl has nothing to do with abandoning Melee, It has to do with continuing it's legacy. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is just that... SUPER SMASH BROS. It's not a different game, it's made by the same developers, who have the same mind set, and want to bring the same joy they did to players as they did with melee


and by the way, just for your cockiness; I'll enjoy my stickers
as well as my expanded roster, totally new and innovative gameplay, online mode, brand new single-player features, subspace emissary, a whole slew of new items, cameo appearances from franchises all over the nintendo world, tons of new and innovative stage designs which again span across the many different franchises, brand new metagame for pros, larger audience of players, beautifully orchestrated music, (even though I don't care for) new items and pokeballs, as well as brand new assist trophies which have never been seen before, many more and new trophies, and MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE

See you at SFF2

No need to be so hard on Dylan. Yes, he can be a bit cocky, and maybe irrogent, and possibly a ***** every now and then, but he's trying to bring a good idea. WHICH I TOLD HIM.

I was talking to him earlier, and I said that if you got a Wii, you are now able to play Melee online. It came earlier today. He didn't really believe this, but he thought it was a good idea I guess since he made a thread about it.

Dylan is the kind of person who doesn't want his games to change. Is that a bad thing? No, not at all. It can get annoying if he keeps going around posting "IF THERES NO WAVEDASHING, THERES NO MEANING TO SMASH!" then I'd want to punch him in the face. But he's not doing it.

If you dont' want to listen to him, simply don't post in the thread. Simple as that.

Dylan, you just got your *** handed to you hard.

I completely agree with Card. Melee was and still is a great game, and will be when Brawl comes out. But Brawl is going to destroy its popularity, whether you like to think so or not. Sure people will still play it, but not nearly as many as there are now. It's kind of like what happened when WC3 was released and what will happen when SC2 comes out. Exact same thing will happen to Melee. I'm not trying to bash Melee. I play it on an almost daily basis and it's my favorite game of all time. You just have to realize that its popularity will plummet once Brawl comes out.

You're going to switch over to Brawl too. Trust me. You might not think so, but you will (if you ever get a Wii that is).

Oh, and that whole stickers comment was stupid. Picking out one bad thing about the game (which is just opinion anyways) and making it seem as if that's what the game revolves around is completely illogical. Nobody's going to care about stickers, just like nobody cares about trophies in Melee. Sure they're nice to look at, but that's about it.

1. There's already been topics on this, use search.
2. Melee is already online with the Cube.
3. If some place does manage to hack the Wii so you cna play Melee online, people will be posting links to it here. So until then, google and try and find someone who's working on it.
