So I play melee (PAL) with the settings of my wii to 16:9.
But I read somewhere PAL melee doesn't support widescreen so I'm curious if i should continue playing 16:9 or play 4:3.
Does playing 16:9 warp the image or something?
To me it looks pretty normal but when watching other melee matches the characters look a bit shorter i think, especially with marth and roy (on fd)

You should set it to 4:3. In 16:9 it simply horizontally stretches the image, so it will fit to the widescreen ratio, and everything appears fatter or shorter, depending on how you look at it.

Alright thank you, I've heared 20xx has changed the game code for widescreen support so I'll play 4:3 until 20xx for PaL comes out :)
