Kind of a random thing, and no disrespect against Melee and it’s fans, but there was a tweet the other day that characterized why I myself don’t care as much about the game itself and find some do it’s fans as...pretentious.
This user basically tweeted about how their viewership was setting records for Genesis and what not, and then followed it up with “Melee is still the greatest game ever made!”
Like cool, you’re passionate. But for some people to say the Melee community doesn’t prop itself up or seem full of itself...yikes.
I played Melee casually for like over 1000 hours when I was a kid. Over time, i’ve realized that while it’s a good game for it’s time and what it is, there are problems I have with it.
I personally prefer Ultimate simply because of content and the balance of the game. I don’t think any other Smash compares to it.
