Single person match
0-Second Melee is a glitch that can be performed in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is a form of the Name Entry glitch, which was discovered by Exchord92.
Performing the Glitch
The glitch can be performed by using the following method:
Enter Melee Mode. In Custom Rules, select Stock mode and set the number of stocks to whatever you choose. Select one and only one character. Then perform the glitch as follows:
- Hover the cursor over the name field, and press A and B simultaneously.
- Release A, but hold onto B.
- Scroll down to "Name Entry." Press A at the right time whilst still holding B.
- If timed right, the player will go to the Stage Select screen. Select a stage.
If the player performed the glitch correctly and the game does not freeze, the Melee will end as soon as the announcer says, "Go!"
You can also perform this glitch with two to four characters all on the same team (using the black character glitch) instead of only one player. The match will end instantaneously due to there being only one team remaining (or in this case, starting the match).
Explanation
A melee with only one character is impossible under normal scenarios. However, since the Name Entry glitch forces the game to advance, all opposing stock has already been depleted at the start of the battle and the player wins instantly.
