Created by Brookman in 2014, Melee Hell has since grown to contain over 26,000 members, with some professional smashers like Hungrybox, Mew2King, Kage, and Hax taking part in the group.
Overview
Posters on Melee Hell often reference farcical in-jokes, such as 20XX, 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 edited images or videos surrounding such in-jokes, as well as extensive references to internet memes.

ChuDat's sponsorship
Melee Hell was responsible for crowdfunding ChuDat's traveling costs for EVO 2015, as he had previously been dropped by his sponsor, Mortality eSports. Due to the "sponsorship", he entered the tournament as "MH|ChuDat" and wore a Melee Hell-designed shirt, as a parody of the uniforms generally worn by other sponsored smashers. ChuDat finished 7th at EVO 2015, and the event helped to spark further interest in Melee Hell.
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, as to more easily organise a potential crew battle with members of Melee Social. Owing to controversy over the group's existence, however, some tournament organizers have banned the use of the Melee Hell tag. To help alleviate issues with the community, some smashers instead use MH| instead of Melee Hell.
