'''Melee Hell''' is a {{s|wikipedia|Facebook}} group, designed as a '''satirical''' response to the Melee Social Facebook group and Melee Social board on [[Smashboards]]. {{sm|Brookman}} created the group and active posting members include {{sm|Hungrybox}}, {{sm|Mew2King}}, {{sm|Kage}}, and {{sm|Hax}}, among many other Smashers though the majority of members, mostly due to content, are older members of the smash community.
 
Posters on Melee Hell often reference in-jokes, such as [[20XX]] (with Hax being their lord and savior and with everyone in the group saying they main Fox), farcical posts about ''Melee's'' perceived quality compared to other games in the series, and satirical statements about other smashers. A large majority of posts also tend to be photoshopped images. Due to certain events, Melee Hell had grown tremendously, numbering at around 10,000 members at one point. Due to these overwhelming numbers at times, Melee Hell initiates frequent "Purges" where they put the group in Hidden or Private mode on Facebook before banning members who do not leave within a certain period after making an announcement. This is to, "keep things dank and fresh" according to their Facebook moderators.
 
=={{Sm|ChuDat}}'s sponsorship==
Melee Hell is responsible for crowdfunding ChuDat's [[EVO 2015]] traveling costs, as he was recently no longer sponsored by his previous sponsor, [[Mortality eSports]]. Due to the "sponsorship," he entered the tournament as "MH|ChuDat" and wore a Melee Hell designed shirt. In terms of why ChuDat was sponsored, people noted that ChuDat, while not being a Fox main, was the personification of a troll. Chu eventually got 7th, sparking more interest in Melee Hell from most people.
 
==Melee Hell Tag==
Multiple smashers, such as Bones, have used "Melee Hell" as a clan name in tournaments. A large number of smashers also entered with the tag at [[Apex 2015]], though this was mostly done as a joke, as well as serving as a practical way to organize a crew battle with members of Melee Social, though this never happened. Owing to the controversy over the group's existence, some tournament organizers have banned the use of the Melee Hell tag, though some organizations, such as [[CLASH Tournaments]] and [[VGBootCamp]], do not ban the tag. To help alleviate issues with the community, many people enter as '''MH|''' instead of Melee Hell, citing that it is less controversial.

==Controversy==
Melee Hell has been controversial to some members of the community, with criticism being focused at the often vulgar and obscene content of the page; some of the content has also been criticized for being racist or sexist, as well as promoting trolling. Some followers of Melee Hell have also sent threats to smashers outside of the group; however, admins for Melee Hell prohibit such threats, and the majority of members do not approve of such threats.
 
Provocative users tend to post memes and other jokes on the community, most of which are controversial, leading to Melee Hell being a very touchy subject among smashers. There are also very explicit posts made, which furthers this point. However, sexual images are usually banned, mostly due to not wanting the group to be removed by Facebook.
 
==Copycat and Related Groups==
There are also other related groups such as Sm4sh Social Kappa, 64 Heaven, and other related groups to the various interests of members of Melee Hell. There is also a secret group within Melee Hell which saves old posts in case the original group is banned.
