[Replay] I originally went into this play through saying “okay, im going to unlock every trophy and 100% the game on my new memory card before I log this game as complete” then as I kept playing, I realized how long that would take and settled on completing Classic and Adventure with all characters. It’s sometimes hard for some people to remember Melee as anything other than what its known for today, the ultra competitive nintendo game. Melee’s also just a good game to casually playthrough though. It has so many good single player additions from Smash 64, like the trophies with museum like descriptions and 3D character designs. The music is insane for the time and game that Melee is. Adventure mode is fun, (if not repetitive doing it like 25 times though). The game is still so gorgeous to just look at for a near launch Gamecube game from 2001. It just has such a nice aura to it. I’ve especially always loved its weird Cyberspce look and feel. All the wireframes and digital backgrounds and music, I always wished a newer Smash game would return to this ascetic, but it looks so good on a CRT. Just such a blessing of a game honestly.
