I will give this game 4 stars for giving me the ice climbers, mute city, and young link.

SUPER SMASH BROTHERS... MELEEEEEEEEE
the best fighting game ever made from a technical standpoint, the gameplay has been evergreen for the 20+ years since its release and it will continue for another 20 years more

Still the tightest gameplay of the entire series. Combos feel satisfying to pull off and the skill ceiling is extremely high. Many days and nights spent playing with friends. Still a ton of fun to play with friends, which we still do!


Brings fighting game competition to a whole knew level

El mejor Smash hasta que salió Ultimate.

Do I like melee? Yeah
I consider it the best smash bros? definitely not

Melee is an incomplete game with many errors, and I feel that this hurts a lot, especially in the competitive game, which although I do not deny that they are fun, are where the errors are most noticeable.

My freshman year of college, my neighbor to the right of my dorm invited me in one time to try this game. As my introduction into the series was on the 3DS, I had a difficult time learning the controls. Nothing's wrong with Super Smash Bros. Melee from what I can tell, but I have no interest in returning to this game.

this review is now property of the plup club

horrible mechanics and balance

My favorite thing to do at McDonald's as a kid

One of the best Smash Bros. games ever, and for good reason! The combat, soundtrack, graphics still hold up today.

The Melee only fanbase is extremely obnoxious, but don't let that cloud your judgment. The game's just really good. A really nice sequel to the first Smash Bros. but before the series got really insane with increasing the fighter roster to an unsustainable size.

one of the most fascinating and expressive games ever created.

Its really weird trying to write a review for a game that Im so far removed from. I cant discount how important it was to me growing up but I dont want the score to be purely dictated by nostalgia. Definitley not a perfect game but as a complete package not many games could compare at the time. Also my first exposure to so many classic series so theres something to be said for that.

Still to this day the best competitive gaming experience of my life.

This was really satisfying to play! I finally understand the memes.

the best fighting game ever made. every smash game since has been either worse or way worse


Melee is the greatest competitive video game ever made, and it was by mistake. This game is so good, if casuals did not know the competitive scene existed, they would never complain about it. Melee gets hate for being popular and liked, which I've never understood.

If you break it down at a game level, it x2's everything smash 64 had to offer. Larger Cast, Stage list, Item list, Single Player and Multiplayer offerings... trophies even. The list just goes on and on for improvements made between 64 and Melee.

Melee is so fascinating to me because its hard for me to find individual flaws in a game so deep. Sure you can complain about balance... which maybe affects 1% of people who've actually touched melee since release.

People point to Brawl being the best casual Smash game and I do have to agree, but Brawl only got there because it was able to build off melee, same way Melee built off of 64. Brawls subspace, does not exist without the success of Melee's adventure mode.

Melee now has some of the best online play any fighting game currently has. The rollback netcode from Slippi truly elevates melee even further into the GOAT status.

In my opinion, Melee is the GOAT of fighting games, and perhaps even games in general.

ivwe been playing for like a week

I absolutely love this game. From the controls, to the gameplay feel and even graphics. But grinding for trophies is just not too fun. But it's a go to for a party game.

first game i ever played, heavily nostalgia biased..
