Fun Fact: Out of all the characters taken out of Melee, Mewtwo was the only one who WASN'T a clone. Although Lucario is awesome, Mewtwo was fun as hell to play as...

Tommrrow will mark the 10 year anniversary of the day on which my brother took SSBM disk out of the Gamecube and used as a coaster for his soda while he played Luigi's Mansion. It will also mark the day on which my brother refused to get me a replacement copy and I had to go down to Gamestop obtain my second copy.

I will never forget.

I miss SSBM Ganon. SSBB Ganon is like an old and frail version of his SSBM self.

Perksizer · 8 months

Wrong, Melee was not released in America until December 3 and wasn't released in Europe until 2002. Unless we started counting Japanese release dates. In which case i guess we were off on the Gamecubes 10th anniversary by 2 months.

Yet another case of Upvotes for bad infomation.

I wonder how long we're going to spend marking the 10th anniversary of gamecube games that were released shortly after the launch of the system itself. Did we miss mario party 4?

Hell, if there is anywhere to post what where my Reddit name comes from, this is the place.

So all of the cool kids had little nicknames (what gamer tags are now) and I lacked one. I couldn't think of a good one. But one day I was at a Smashfest in North Carolina where Chu-Dat, Chillin, and G-reg were at (among quite a few other people). So I asked this girl if she wanted to play a casual game for fun. I main Sheik, and while I wasn't a master of a lot of the advanced techniques (wave dashing, L-canceling, etc.) I had been playing quite a bit since the N64 version, I was good at reading people and had quick reflexes.

So after the first game, she beats me, I ask for a best of three (she was a good player, played Sheik as well and I felt like I was learning from playing against her). I end up figuring out her play style, and beat her for four games after that (she grew frustrated after I beat her and wanted to redeem herself.) We also had a bit of a crowd watching because she was a cute Asian girl in a sausage fest.

After the fourth time, she stands up and screams, "How the fuck do you keep beating me!?! Your Sheik is so... so fucking shabby!" At which point everyone watching bursts out laughing, and she storms out of the room.

I had found my name :-)

Concussi0n · 8 months

sylvanelite · 8 months

In memory of Roy.

I still find it, after all this time, interesting that: Lyn got an AT, Marth and Ike were playable, but in Brawl, there wasn't even a Roy trophy. I mean, Lyn is potentialy Roy's mother

insanekoz · 8 months

And it's still the best one!

Go ahead. I'm ready for your downvotes. I can take 'em.

UrbanForest · 8 months

bloqs · 8 months

Did you know you can now play S.S.B.M. in 1080p on dophin emulator?

I play with 2 controllers attached to 2 USB adapters I bought from amazon. Its absolutely amazing to be able to Fraps gamecube games.

garysnail123 · 8 months

I loved the way I got special characters.

Just plug in 2 controllers and start a match no timer. Leave the Gamecube on for about 2 days, come back, and finish the match. Then be fucking ready.

SSBM had gamers idling before TF2.

seashanty · 8 months

This is the only game series that I truly get excited about. That blog that they had for Brawl had me jizzing for months straight. Im already itching for the next one.

I miss being able to win with Jigglypuff. Fuck everything about Brawl.

“On a personal level, Melee had an extremely grueling development cycle,” Sakurai wrote in a new Famitsu column, translated by 1UP. “I worked on that game for 13 months straight, after all, without a single Sunday or holiday off that whole time. During parts of it, I was living a really destructive lifestyle — I’d work for over 40 hours in a row, then go back home to sleep for four.”

12 weeks of newspaper round and I managed to save enough for this on opening day + a new black edition GameCube. I almost spent as many hours on this game as I did Ocarina of time. So much nostalgia <3

[deleted] · 8 months

sigh I remember playing this for hours and days on end with my brother at my grandmother's house while my parents were away somewhere for some time. One of the best weekends of my life so far, we both remember it very fondly.

"Nintendo's Best in 4-Player Action" Still holds true.

kunomchu · 8 months

I remember that first day at EB games. I was like what the fark? Mario fighting pikachu and link? Saved up enough money that christmas and bought the sucker. I played it for at least 5 years even after melee came out.

wallythewombat · 8 months

Fuck the tourney kids. All my friends are tourney players. I like the items, and I hate Final Destination. God bless this game! T-T

SSB 64 was better

[deleted] · 8 months

This is crazy because we still play this on my floor at school. Ness all the way! (Idc if they nerfed you like a abused redheaded step-child, you're a boss!)

thefaderist · 8 months

That means that it's been much longer since the release of the far-superior Super Smash Bros. 64.

jhoiz · 8 months

Gonna go play a game

clickingspree · 8 months

Cheers to the game that has made us so many friends and enemies.

rawbface · 8 months

I miss this game so much. I used to own at it. Wave dashing, shffl'ing, pillaring, wall of pain. Brawl just isnt the same...

jivemotha · 8 months

Never have I found a game that I love as much as this one. SHFFL TIL I DIE YO!

thebeefytaco · 8 months

Thanks for making me feel old... I still remember getting the original one for n64.

plummebd · 8 months

dgoader · 8 months

Falco was so much better in this one than he is in Brawl

Thanks for 10 years, Melee.

TopEm · 8 months

RIP Young Link.

ChurKirby · 8 months

The game itself it still something to behold, it's stood the test of time and has always been one of the best mutliplayer action games to date. But honestly, I can't tell you how much fun I had using an action replay + accessing the debug mode on this game...

gutpocket · 8 months

Man, I wish I had time to play tonight!

easyTRASH · 8 months

and i'd still play this over SSB Brawl

banjophony · 8 months

Life changer right there

XGSkippy · 8 months

honestly feel like this series of games was what made me a Nintendo fan until the Wii i had Nintendo consoles first because this series of games is hands down of the most fun games ever made.

cloudduel_13 · 8 months

Original was better.

Matt258 · 8 months
