- So what is your honest opinion of Melee now in 2018
|
In the weeks leading up to Ultimate i had been playing each game in the series with friends on my days off pretty much non stop.
During this time i had realized that Melee is probably my least favorite game in the series i still had fun playing it but it just felt clunkier then i remembered it and it was pretty disappointing. and after playing Ultimate Melee just feels kinda sluggish to me. I was pretty big into the Melee community up until like 2011 where i would play the game all the time with friends. Also i would go to tournaments at a local game store that would do a tournament every so often just because the owner was a smash fanatic although they eventually started using Brawl for these tournament and on a side note unfortunately the store closed in 2015. Regardless i still enjoy Melee but i would pick playing any other Smash game before i would pick Melee. So how do you all feel about Melee now after all the years that have gone by and all the sequels that have come and gone.

It was good for the time, but looking at it now it’s kinda really bland

I think Melee is overhyped, personally. It was definitely a step up from 64, but I liked the rosters from the later games more. The only things I really didn't like about Brawl was the slow speed and tripping, which is the only thing I think Melee has a leg up on as far as that goes. Smash 4 was definitely my favorite and the one I spent the most time with since Melee.

Melee had a way better story mode, way better single player content, way faster mechanics, way better vibe, and a roster with only 2 anime and each character actually ment something and we’re fun to unlock

As a sequel to 64, it delivers in a large way. Twice the amount of characters, a huge graphical jump, new single player modes, 290 all-new collectible trophies, event matches, there's a lot to take in. That's why Melee seemed like this really huge game back in the day.

Obsolete casual game, terrible competitive game. As a casual game there are less options compared to the more recent Smash game and competitively it's a campy snoozefest.

It was a huge part of my childhood and I have a ton of nostalgia for the game. It set the standard for the Smash franchise going forward and was a key factor in making me a lifelong diehard Nintendo fan. I owe that game so much. All of the above also applies to Brawl, which in its heyday I enjoyed much more than Melee. Of course, Brawl was outdone by Smash 4, which has been totally outdone by Ultimate. Melee is an awesome game that I have a ton of respect and nostalgia for when I look back on it, but I have to look back to see it because I left it behind me a long time ago.

I love Melee, it was one of my first video games in general but the fanbase is so awful it's actually starting to make me hate it, which is such a shame.
I actually meant it
|
|
I still adore Melee. It was the first Smash game I owned (I did play 64 at a friend's house), Mewtwo was in it, I loved the different modes (Adventure Mode was fun and I loved Event Matches), and I really liked the Trophy Lottery and Home Run Contest.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to play it in years because the disc is scratched.

Melee still is and will always be the best, but Ultimate is fresh so it will keep any attention I want to give to Smash

Very fun game in 2001, got a lot of hours out of it.
In 2018? It hasn't aged well. Good thing we have improved games like Ultimate to succeed it.
Say wut?

|
In 2018? It's actually a solid title. I do really enjoy the gameplay.
Crazy Hand was some bullshit though.

It's still a great game. It didn't magically stop being good any more than any other game from 2001 or earlier has magically stopped being good just because time has passed.

I prefer it to Smash 64, but I'd take the other games over it.
Melee was too buggy and broken. I mean Ice Climbers had two different 0-deaths that started from a grab. One of them required like 5 inputs to pull off.

I tried playing again a few months back, in anticipation for Ultimate. The gameplay nowadays felt... stiff. It’s hard to explain. It’s like it’s harder to move or do smash attacks than it is in later games. I also realized I was taking the ability to turn off “press up to jump” for granted, as my attempts to do up tilts were failing spectacularly.

It's a fantastic followup to the original, boasting twice as many characters, more stages, and vastly expanded single player modes. It was the perfect sequel for it's time, and I still love the competitive edge the game has. Nearly 20 years later, the game still has oceanic levels of technical depth, and you can always continue to grow and improve. I wish certain characters had been balanced a little bit better, but even still, one could still do a lot worse than 12-13 viable characters out of 26.
While I can appreciate Brawl's ambition, roster, and single player content, it's overly floaty gameplay, tripping, and abysmal character balance (even by the standards of this series) really killed my interest in continuing to play it outside of modded versions. 4 and Ultimate are both solid games IMO, however. I would love to see Nintendo come out with an HD re-release of Melee with online play or even a future Smash game with Melee's physics and mechanics. Realistically, I'm not holding my breath for that to happen anytime soon though. Thank goodness for Project M.

Still and always will be the best smash in terms of gameplay(I would give this to PM but obviously PM is not a official game)
Was outshined by brawl and continues to be outshined with each smash moving forward in basically everything else.

I hate it, and not in an “every entry is better than the last” way. The gameplay is stiff as hell and genuinely unfun for me.
You'll never see it coming!

6/10 To go back and play now that there are newer better games. 10/10 Esport that should never die.

Great game.
I hate the fact that the meta revolves around inaccessible exploits like wavedashing and L-canceling.

It has the red shell which is pretty cool, and I like target test
but everything else has been done better by now. The adventure mode kinda sucks, Ultimate has the best classic mode, most the stages are boring,and the roster is pretty bad It was a good game at the time, but now it is horribly obsolete

Great for it's time, and most improved over its predecessor in the whole series. But not worth going back to over modern entries.
|

Has the most competitive depth, has precise and endless movement and options, and mechanics that are limitless and have unlimited amount of nuance. It has the most room for experimentation and creativity for the players. It has the deepest edge guarding, and it's lacking linearity in just about anyway, I think it's over-all the best Smash game over-all, especially since EVEN as a casual game, it's fantastic.
Also Melee Marth is sex.

I loved Melee but I think it’s only aged well if you still use all the advanced techniques. If you’re not deep into the wavedashing, l-canceling, shffling, etc, it will just feel old now.
But I will say, the fact that some 8 characters are now viable at the highest level of melee play is a huge credit to its roster balance (despite the fact that some characters are still hopelessly useless at the pro level). |

The "sharpest in the series" as Sakurai called it.

The "sharpest in the series" as Sakurai called it. Agreed. Even more strange how some of those "exploits" like run canceling and ledge dashing returned in Ultimate. I honestly think if Sakurai didn't advertise the return of run canceling for Ulimate at E3 people would proably call Ultimate a "broken buggy exploitable piece of shit". Also people say Melee's "super glitchy" but it seems like they're only talking about wave dashing and pretend like wave dashing is 5 billion different glitches or something, which is hilarious because wave dashing isn't a glitch, it's literally the natural result of the physics engine and directional air dodging. The lag was low as well so you could use it in succession. Literally every other Melee tech like L-Cancels and run canceling, and even crouch canceling (crouch canceling was ALSO in Brawl and Smash 64 IIRC) was advertised and recommended by Sakurai himself multiple times. Also, why does it even matter if something's "unintentional" if it's fun and adds to the game? The result and mechanic is exactly the same, regardless if it's intentional or not, so why is it a big deal? Reminder that combos and juggling in fighting games were unintentional and a "bug", yet it was revolutionary for the genre.

Full of unneeded "advanced techniques" that were "absolutely left in intentionally unfixed" and a community that refuses to move on, even claiming that their game is the PINNACLE of competitive gaming. Talk about self centered.
Game itself is fine but worse than Ultimate. It's also boring to watch. After 12 years, I'm so glad to finally move on permanently. Fuck that game, fuck old TVs, and fuck that community. ALSO FUCK JIGGS!

Melee is broken as all heccc
Ultimate is basically melee but without all of the unbalanced bugs and glitches though i will admit that the stadium was good in melee

Played it recently on my modded Wii U and it’s pretty difficult to get into.
Adventure mode on normal with Link kicked my ass. However when I played more, I started to get better.
A big fan of Seikon No Qwaser. Would love if the series can return someday.
