What's your favorite thing about Melee?

[Stratford]

Fox's shine u-air.

 

[L__]

Shine -> Dair

Foxgoodies.

 

[thumbswayup]

I still can't shine to back air with Fox lol I keep trying and failing miserably.

 

[L__]

Maybe it's because of your locations.

 

[thumbswayup]

LOL that's definitely one of the factors. There's not many people to practice with in MD/VA anymore they're all busy playing Brawl....sigh....

 

[thesage]

Unlocking characters. It just didn't have the same magic. I actually went for a year without unlocking Mewtwo or GaW.

There also wasn't a stage in brawl that had the "woah, this is pushing the system" feeling that melee's FoD had. The stage's also carry a cool sense of nostalbia with them brawl doesn't.

 

[B0mbe1c]

I play Melee, but I need to meet up with someone IRL who is good.

Favorite Melee aspect... SHFFL, Hitstun, combos.

 

[thumbswayup]

More Melee love. That game is too good.

 

[Grmo]

0-death combos and gimps. I love when one does one of those and I do the other, and we're just like >_> *high five*

Chasing people around and chaining moves together is lots of fun, especially when it gets really far in to the combo and they're like OMFG NOOOOOOOOO

Plus I love making people indulge in screams of terror when it happens.

yeah. This game is awesome.

 

[KILLA.FOR.CASH.]

my fav part of melee is the dashdancing.

 

[3747373796432]

Edgegaurding, especially Fox. Gimping him at 0% is so fun.

 

[toadturtle3]

some of my favorite things

- predicting a tech with ganon and grunting as you stomp on their face
- double jump uair with bowser predicting their jump and smooshing them
- landing a bowser fsmash (instant win)
- 0-death combos since they require skill, prediction, response and are not guaranteed.
-trapping your oppenent into a mistake so that they know they're dead seconds before it even happens
-doing humiliating moves like a zelda spike, pan spike, bowser ko grab, falcon chokeslam, ganon warlock kick spike

and my favorite highlight.
- 4 stocking a door-to-door salesman after proposing I would buy his product if he could beat me in smash. Naturally he used marth, but he met knee after knee and couldn't even take off a stock.

 

[Geist]

The announcer in melee is so much cooler than that dorky Brawl one.

[Red the Ghost]

Right now, my favorite things are probably Doc and doubles.
Also the pure epicness and how pumped I get from playing it.
How it never gets boring, no matter how long we play.
How every match has something that makes it awesome.

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

Combos, definitely combos.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

everyboyd loves a combo Eh?

 

[Darkman.exe213]

I liked how Link's forward smash could land both strikes on characters that weren't heavyweight.
I liked how it actually felt rewarding to unlock Final Destination.
I liked juggling.
I like the Melee haters who make comments on the game that are ignorant and irritating, yet hilarious.

 

[Icy-Flood]

The Speed of the Game is much better than Brawls Floatyness haha you had
to do alot of things to keep up in a match with the opponent
Wavedashing made Melee more fun also it just seemed like Melee didnt get
as bored as quickly Brawl got to me. I mean I got bored of Melee for a period of time
but it took me a while and for brawl for the spped of the game not really being fast
makes me bored sometimes pretty quickly

 

[Grmo]

Uh yeah, you can still do that on brawl.

Well my favorite thing was the game wasn't that complicated, now that brawl have tons of tech.
I've always do Wave-dashing on Melee, my favorite tech ever.

Sounds to me like you need to play more SSBM.

Anyway, here's another long list of stuff:

I love how this game makes me roll on the floor laughing more than any other.
I love how it happens during tournament matches.
I love how colourful the game it.
I love how "SSBM" sounds when said.
I love how there are so many ways people pronounce "Melee".
I love how there are an unlimited number of playing styles for each character.
I love my earlier memories of the game, like arguing with friends that Roy actually sucked and that's why I keep beating them with Marth.
I love how Smashboards gives both "Smashboards" and "Marth" a red underline.
I loved my first tournament (thank you Lanowen).
I loved my second tournament, and every one after that.
I love hosting tournaments and hearing the sounds.
I love the sound test.
I love how mesmerizing it can be to watch a really flashy Fox.
I love the Adventure mode.
I love the feeling of hitting a new record on Home Run Contest.
I love the rush of excitement when you're about to get a new Target Test record.
I love Mewtwo.
I love Captain Falcon's amazingness and all the hilarious stuff that happens in Falcon dittos on Yoshi's Story.
I love falling through the middle of Pokemon Stadium and Poke Floats.
On that note, I love Poke Floats too.
I love shield pressuring.
I love all the glitches.
I love how Melee players adamantly do not play Brawl.
I love how strong the Melee community still is.
I love how strong our community still is.
I think SSBM is my favourite game ever.

 

[B0mbe1c]

Most definitely the hitsun. :]

 

[Miggz]

I love the fact that there never seems to be a limit to how much one can improve. Simply awesome.

 

[Stratford]

Super duper wavedashing.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

stratford i was practicing that yesterday!

 

[Miggz]

Super duper wavedashing.

I know about super wavedashing with Samus...but not super duper wavedashing. =P

 

[thumbswayup]

I just shined to bair with Fox for the first time this weekend :D it was on the ground, but I don't care it was still ****ing amazing. I LOVE MELEE

 

[Ojanya]

I love the way technical characters feel under your fingers, and the way that after practicing a character so much, you can just make them do what you want. It's kind of hard to explain, does anyone know the feeling? So rewarding...

 

[Eaode]

A feeling of control. I know exactly what you mean. That's really one of the main reasons I live Melee over brawl, and even Brawl+. It seems that in addition to taking AT's etc., they also went out of their way to make things annoying to control and stupid e.g. Falcon's Up-B, not enough friction, etc.
