Melee Hell is a Facebook group, designed as a satirical response to the Melee Social FB group and Melee Social on Smashboards. Brookman created the group and active posting members include Hungrybox, Mew2King and Hax among other Smashers.

Various in-jokes include 20XX (with Hax being their lord and savior and with everyone in the group saying they main Fox) and many others. There is also a crew battle being organized for Apex between Melee Hell members and Melee Social.

Melee Hell| Tag

Multiple smashers, such as Bones and otherwise have used Melee Hell|(Smasher tag) as their name in tournaments. There are also a large amount of smashers entering with this tag at Apex 2015, though this is mostly a joke as well as a way to organize said crew battle. This has been banned by certain Tournament Organizers, due to controversies surrounding Melee Hell, though ClashTournaments and VGBootCamp have currently stated that there is no problem.

Controversies

Melee Hell has been seen as controversial to many other members. A lot of the posts are vulgar/obscene and the Facebook group has been described by some as the cesspool or "4Chan" of Smash full of racist/sexist in-jokes and trolls. There have also been threats towards other smashers, though this is defined, more recently, as being outright prohibited by Admins of Melee Hell. They have described Melee Hell as an online joke and that certain people take the joke too far. The main counterarguments are the fact that two of the main admins of the group have helped continue these jokes.
