Just read this thread and WOW.
No combo in Melee? Fact? Sorry Ballin' but you are WRONG. Which one is more entertaining is opinion, but "no combos" is simply not true. Almost every char in that game combos, and if you mean zero>death, Falco, Fox, Marth, Sheik, Falcon, do it regularly in competitive play (Jiggs if you include Uthrow>rest /joke). Other chars can but it's hard, so usually it's like 50%>death (this is NOT including tech chases). Major difference being floaties are very hard to combo in Melee, and not so hard in 64 because they still have a good amount of hit stun. As for edgeguards, they happen just the same- with 64 being slightly easier because some chars like Samus got 200% better on recovery, and the addition of edge teching which will save you RARELY; I tech the edge 9/10 times and rarely do I get another % in to my opponent before I die. Assuming you were Fox or Falco and had the chance to invincibly wall jump sideB to regrab, your opponent can easily shield any invincible ledge hop shenanigans you had in mind, and punish (and if you waveland they can grab or hit you before your shield comes up). If you are not Fox/Falco, or didn't get to regrab, or tried to wall jump sideB/UpB/anything else then you're dead anyways. However, your opponent with say "nice tech" as they proceed to kill you anyways. They also added a lot of chars in Melee, all of which (besides Peach) get EGed easily. Falco get gimped easier than a 64 char. FACKTTXX!
Not trying to start anything Ballin', but your attitude is quite elite in this thread. You sound so sure of yourself, speaking as if your opinions are fact. I know you go to Melee tournaments also, but seems pretty clear though (IMO) that you have no idea what you're talking about (in Melee). I can prove what I said above about edgeguards, and combos. What you said simply isn't true.
I know this isn't the thread for this, but I don't think people should be spreading misinformation. I agree that Zero>deaths in Melee are a lot harder, and edgeguarding on a couple chars in Melee is a lot harder, but both are definitely there.
This is coming from someone who recently quite Melee competently for good. I'll still play with SOME friends, but I deep down believe the game is flawed at the highest level in a way that I cannot get over. My personal opinion also is that Falco get comboed/EGed to easily. LULZ.
