ScoreCounter really makes a nice point, and is what makes Melee players' general reaction to Smash 4 most baffling to me. Who really wants to keep playing the same exact game, with the same shitty roster (Melee's roster is so damn bad) and stages (BF clones anyone?), fighting Fox half the time and fighting a few other characters the other 45% of the time, with no more new content whatsoever, when there's the option for a new game in the series that can improve on all of that shit? And why the hell wouldn't you want to be part of a even bigger tournament scene that is going to attract much more new players? Is wavedashing really that important to you that it doesn't matter how solid the game's mechanics are, how much more balanced the cast is, how much better character and stage variety there is, and how much more content overall the game has, that you won't consider playing it over Melee (even when it could get sponsored by Nintendo, leading to competitively playing paying off more than it ever could)? Why can't there be a definitive Smash game that we all primarily play? Why do you have to stubbornly stick to Melee no matter what else comes? Why the hell are you thinking "oh no it's going to kill Melee!" instead of "there's finally a new game, I hope it's really good and gets an even bigger tournament scene"? Are you guys that completely unable to adapt to anything that is the slightest bit different?
"''I don't think you guys understand how special a game needs to be to be kept alive for 13 years and still competitively relevant to the eSports community. THIRTEEN YEARS!''"
Because '''Smash''' as it is an amazing game that could remain competitively relevant, and there has only been one sequel to Melee in that time that had mixed competitive reception? Melee lasted that long not because it's some super special egg, but because the series' concept itself makes such an amazing game, that Melee executed solidly enough while there lacked a decidedly good update. If Brawl didn't have the problems it had, I guarantee you that Melee would have only stuck around as a niche scene like Smash 64 or as throwback events, and wouldn't have ever sniffed EVO or MLG again.
Ultimately, "Super Smash Bros." makes the game special, not "Melee". <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:48, 30 April 2014 (EDT)
