However, ''Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s tournament scene remained strong even as ''Brawl''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s tournament scene grew and ''Melee'''s metagame experienced drastic changes (such as Jigglypuff dominating as well as or more than the top-tier characters); as a result, the tier list ultimately did change several times even after this supposed "final" revision. | ||
