Anyone else f------ p----- about how melee is being treated this evo and tr4sh, 2 unreleased games, and some anime garbage that won't even hit 500 entrants gets a Sunday spot over melee Anonymousˇ 曰 ■ Anonymous 01/25/17(Wed)14:11:58 No.365320000 v >>365320191 >>365320767 >>365321192 >>365321479 >365321809 >>365327308 >365327575 >365328134 >365328208 >365328243 >>365328383 >365328423 >365328442365328606 >>365328679 365328747 >365329136 >>365329348 365329496 >>365330041 365330290 >>365330979>365331187 >365331596 14853673233904p (9 KB, 262x263) google yandex igdb wait Why does this game that's had some of the best top 8 action of any series at Evo get a Sunday slot? sl'd much rather watch Armada, Hungrybox, Mango, Mew2King and some random assortment of Plup/Westballz/(insert top 12 player here) fight for the 20th tournament in a row This is why your game isnt on on Sunday. It's basically a solved game at this point. Forget about age, forget about muh displays, forget about your obnoxious f------ fanbase for five seconds and think about how utterly stale Melee is. You can claim the game is growing all you want, but there is zero variation in the part of the community that actually plays the game. There are a handful of good players left while the scrubs fight for scraps at the bottom of the battle. There is no Spark who played a mid-to-lovw character in Continuum Shift and pulls the tournament out from underneath everyone's nose. There is no Gamerbee from Thailand playing a character nobody gave a s--- about and slaying veterans left and right. There is no Noah, a literal child that was able to win games by abusing the s--- out of super armor. Melee has no progression. Top 4 is all but guaranteed and the only reason it wouldn't be is if you put all four on the same side of the bracket for some reason. We can only the same four people fight so many times before it gets stale. You have more people watching and sitting in the crowd booing games that aren't yours but nobody's actually playing at a level that's acceptable for competition. Melee is past that point. The complexity of the game has caught up to it, you can't possibly match a decade of experience and muscle memory, it's just never going to happen. So nobody new is playing the game, and the gap between the top 10 players and everyone else is huge, and there's no online scene to speak of. There are more new people SHITPOSTING ABOUT MELEE than actually putting time into the game Eat s---, but considering you're defending Melee you probably already do

And? That was before, this is now. Smash 4 as it is has the most diverse cast of character reaching Top 8s at various events for any Smash game. Fucking Marth took a major. Then a goddamn Duck Hunt of all things beats THE best Diddy Kong in the world. You rarely see that shit in Melee, granted patches saved Smash 4 but least upsets and hype low-tier heros come around to live things up.

Well it looks like comps are finally wising up to the obvious. Did we really forget why "no items, Fox only, Final Destination" became a thing? No, it wasn't ever that limited and we all know that, but comp Melee even at the top is friggin' boring. It always has been.

I've watched enough high-level Melee matches to know that the supposed "hype" is just an indistinct blur of the same few top-tier characters unnaturally spazzing across the same four Battlefield clones or FD. It's dull as all hell and if you've seen one comp Melee match, you've seen them all.
