Melee]]'' community as distance-based latency would no longer be an issue. Due to the [[coronavirus]] pandemic, most in-person tournament activity had been completely shut down since March 2020, and Project Slippi became the dominant method of playing ''Melee'', with major tournament organizers hosting events using the new updates. Project Slippi has since been credited with bringing new players into the competitive ''Melee'' scene, due to its ease of access and ability to provide practice against anyone online. | ||
On January 19st, 2021, v2.2.4 was released<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/l0v6gn/slippi_dolphin_v224_is_now_out_unranked_mmr_for/|title=Slippi Dolphin v2.2.4 is now out! Unranked MMR for new players plus some prep for 2.3.0!}}</ref>, introducing a hidden match-making rating (MMR) into random unrated matches. The update split the matchmaking pool into two different groups based on skill level: players with lower MMRs were placed into their own separate matchmaking pool. This was aimed at creating more balanced matchups at lower levels of play, preventing newer players from receiving crushing defeats against more experienced players, and increasing new player retention levels. | |||
