Its not that Melee will become unpopular, its that it will become inaccessible. In other words, EXPENSIVE. Decent controllers go for 30-40 bucks on amazon now. In a decade, unless the smash community moves on for whatever reason, the price will go extremely high. The game itself isn't getting any cheaper either, 40 bucks for the game disc itself. It'll probably go up as time goes on as well. Eventually, the entry cost of competitive Melee will be so high, the only hopes of a new player joining the community are that they happen to have the game and a decent controller lying around, or that a new player happens to have enough cash to get a decent controller. Unless another Melee-type smash game is released or it is rereleased on a format that won't frameskip, Melee will die out.
TL:DR: Controllers and the Melee disk are getting expensive, future players will be alienated by cost, competitive smash dies unless Melee is rereleased or another Melee-style game is made.
