yeah its too bad... I think this is being working on still from time to time but...
Thank you for the splendid news.
To this day, I still love SD Remix 3.2.1 and I always try to make time for it.
In some ways, I wish that I started playing SD Remix many years ago so that I could see the growth and progress made after all of the previous releases.
My very first experience with SD Remix was Release 3.2.1.
I am thankful for the memory card mod making it lite and easy to load- I may go to local tornys again and reload inactive gamecubes and see if people know the difference... I wish the colors didn't change.
As of today (December 3, 2018), I have experience with the following releases of Super Smash Bros. Melee:
1. SD Remix 3.2.1
2. Super Smash Bros. Melee 1.02
Even though I only have experience with one of the NTSC releases of Super Smash Bros. Melee, I would love to try out the other releases.
If someone had the Phase Alternate Line release of Super Smash Bros. Melee ready for me, I would JUMP at the chance of trying it out.
If I'm not mistaken, there are many NTSC fans that despise the Phase Alternate Line release of Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I can definitely see where the hatred comes from. Many fan favorite characters were weakened (and some were weakened SEVERELY).
Fan favorite characters: Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Marth, and Sheik.
Other characters: Link, Ganon, Super Mario, and Samus Aran.
Why does the Phase Alternate Line release despise Sheik so much?
I am thankful for the memory card mod making it lite and easy to load- I may go to local tornys again and reload inactive gamecubes and see if people know the difference...
On the subject of "differences," I would say that they are negligible.

According to the SD Remix website, the best characters (Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Marth, Sheik, Jigglypuff, and Princess Peach) are COMPLETELY UNCHANGED.
Most of the time, I see the same 2-6 characters at competitions.
