Melee is such a bizarre game. Do not play this game if you want a good singleplayer experience as that is just improved upon in sequels.
Where Melee succeeds is movement as a bajillion people have pointed out. I feel like with each movement I make, I am in complete control. Any mess-up is on me but the combos feel super custom. Even low tiers have satisfying as hell combos, but I think Melee definitely "shines" when it comes to its best characters. Yes, it isn't balanced but who cares? Characters like Falcon, Falco, Sheik, Peach and what not are insanely fun despite the fact that they're superior to the rest of the cast. Game doesn't have to be balanced to be fun, people. I mean sure, I love SD Remix (Mod that balances Melee) but I also just don't mind playing with good characters because shocker, good characters feel good to play.
I am hopeful the modding scene for this game picks up because there is a lot of potential.
Melee is like cum. Its a mess but damn, it makes me feel good.
10/10
