If you had a GameCube and a couple friends back in the day, you'd be quite the loser if you didn't have this. It's fun, balanced, features all of the cool characters every Nintendo-playing late millenial likes, and follows the golden rule of "easy to play, hard to master". But well, you can still win with the good ol' "button smashing" tactic. So, I liked it as even I could win sometimes.

Ok fighting game. I think I liked the one on the N64 better. Again this isn't my type of game. But like to see the guy booted off the screen.

The fact that a competitive scene was born out of this game that has lasted for 15 years is a credit to how well made this game is, even if the studio that makes it lacks any understanding as to why it was such a hit in the first place.

So, this is where Smash Bros peaks. I hold out hope that Sakurai will bring the franchise back to these heights (the power and elegance of the Switch has me excited -- and yes, I just dated this review), but even then will it top Melee? Hard to imagine. The gameplay was refined to perfection here. This is why sequels since have missed the mark: how do you improve on perfection? All you can do is meddle with it and make it worse.

It loses a little due to some copy and paste issues with a few characters. Reeks of desperation to pad the roster. Aside from that, Melee is a adrenaline rush and the best game in the world to play with close friends. And probably one of the few Nintendo multiplayer party games which won't break apart said friendship.

All my friends liked this game so so much more than I did. I'd get bored after 3-4 games and they would carry on playing for hours. so I kinda have bad memories of it but it's still a good-ass game

Though I have no skill whatsoever at the deep tournament-level metagame, me and my friends played this for literally hundreds of hours in high school. Not misusing the word literally. Literally literally. Hundreds of hours. So much fun.

The pinnacle of the Super Smash Brother games. It was still fresh enough to be better than Brawl, and improved enough to be better than the original. A solid collection of characters, the solo mini games were entertaining, but the multiplayer was where it's at.

I recommend checking out the competitive Melee scene. It's the perfect microcosm of racial harmony. It's still toxic and full of assholes, just not racists.

Competitively, this game is massively overrated. It has some great mechanics, but other things like chain grabbing or wobbling are straight up stupid, and the game is a broken mess when you look at stupid shit like Fox's shine or Marth's non-sensical grab range or the disjointed hitboxes on characters like Jigglypuff. I don't get why people are so fucking attached to this game competitively. Perhaps it's "deeper" than future Smash games, but that doesn't mean it isn't retarded.

there's a reason this is still the go-to smash game for so many people. the killer app for the GameCube and the game I've spent more time playing than possibly any other, enough so that childhood memories begin to blend into adult ones. a treasure, iconic, perpetually great.

This is a game that gamers love and, by extension, that I'm even worse at than normal in relative terms. Nonetheless, it's a really fun game even to lose at.
