Melee was a gaming icon for 15 years.

Brawl and the Wii U game kinda just came and went, don't really see people talking about it and if people do talk about brawl its because of project m and not the actual game

No.

The fanbase won't allow it.

Melee is an icon to hardcore smash nerds. It's a blip otherwise. Brawl outsold by a stupidly large amount.

Melee is overrated as fuck

Wii outsold the Gamecube by a stupidly large amount. Dumb argument

You're only reinforcing my point about it not being an icon

Though if Melee IS dropped from EVO next year (Ultimate being the only Smash game), that might have a bit of an impact.

Any time I watch the Smash Ultimate commercial, I can't help but wonder how many people here(South Korea) will really recognize who these guys are supposed to be and what kind of games they've been in.

I mean, I'm pretty positive that like 98+% of these people will have no ****ing idea who the hell Samus, Marth, King Dedede, Captain Falcon, and the Pikmin are. They wouldn't even recognize Link because he's in his bluish BotW outfit instead of the traditional green with pointy hat. I'd be surprised if they even manage to recognize Mewtwo, but that's a better shot than every other character I mentioned above. As for the Inkling? The **** is an Inkling and the **** is a Splatoon? They'll all be like 'Wow, Mario! Pokemon! And a bunch of other mofos nobody cares about!'

Then its a fighting game with over 70 characters at launch.
What the hell is there not to get with that?

So your point is that Nintendo just isn't popular in Korea?

Probably not, but with how I've seen it play it seems like it could stand toe-to-toe with Melee competitively.

Depends on the next game. Melee was dead until people realized how bad Brawl sucked as a competitive game. Smash 4 will be dead because Ultimate looks like it does everything 4 does except wayyyy better.

If the next title is radically different then Ultimate can carve its own niche.

Don't Smash comps ban nearly every stage? Stuff like that is why I look at how the general public receives the game rather than the competitive scene when determining if a game has left an impact.

Melee is on mini disk while ultimate is on a SD card. The mini disk obviously would hurt more.

Bullshit, Melee was always strong. Sm4sh is great as a competitive game and Melee still continues strong. Smash Ultimate might finally put it in the dirt though, but it's hard to say.

No but that's pretty normal for a game that is going to have its 5th entry in the same series.

It will probably end up being the best selling game of the franchise though.

probably not, and that's okay

melee is its own thing at this point. i'd love for a newer smash game to resemble it a bit more and build on what it established in its movement, combo game and technical maneuvers, but i'm excited for ultimate and it looks miles better than smash 4 which i consider the worst game in the series
