My roommates and I played it pretty much nonstop from release until we stopping rooming together literally a year later.

We were like the most comprehensive trio of player personalities ever, too. I always played fair to a fault (I knew how to do chain throws but it was cheap so I would only do two or three in a row, and only if I was losing, etc).

Then one of the roommates was the total Han Solo type--knew nothing about the game technically but just by being lucky as hell managed to put up a fight anyway. He always went for the cheapest possible strategy. Kill stealing, Fox blaster spam, standing alone while the other roommate and I fought each other, etc.

The other roommate took the game waaaaaay too seriously and would get super mad when one of us would do something that's "not supposed to happen", like the time I managed to grapple him as he was zooming by during Fox's illusion, and the time I spiked him with Ike when he was already off the bottom of the screen.

I just about always won because I played the hell out of Melee before that. But we had so much fun. So so so much fun.

One time the angry guy and I played a one-stock match and I was Ike while he was Dedede. So I'm on one edge of the stage and charge up the side b and he thinks for like half a second and then holds b, lol. So I'm thinking as soon as I release, I'm gonna get eaten but I figure whatever live and learn and let go. But for some reason (I guess some fine point in the gameplay) I actually hit him, but instead of stopping at the edge like Ike usually does, I fly off the stage to my death. We both laughed about that one.

Another time, the cheater and I were playing on that windwaker stage and totall just decide to goof off. He decides to play one-handed while I just try to see what I can do for laughs. He was Pikachu while I was Fox. He kumps down onto the little rowboat or whatever that goes away in the storm, so I decide for laughs I'm gonna get us both killed and jump down there too and do fox's infinite kick move on him while the storm approaches. Now, he's trying to down B me so when the boat turns over it puts me above him for the down B. He dies and I get hit and knocked back up onto the ship, surviving it, lol.

Also one time the cheater and I were both playing Snake and he gets the smash ball. He jumps off the stage and comes down with the helicopter. I was at over 100% damage so I was dead and knew it. So I decide to just go out on a laugh and do the taunt (box). He sees what I did there, laughs and does the MGS "WHERE'D HE GO?" vocal while he starts pointing the reticle all over the place. Then the taunt ended and he does the ! sound and shoots me, lol.

So many other stories too. What a great game.
