Is Smash Wii U the "Final Fantasy VII" of the Smash series?

[kekrot]

Melee is the game which really put smash in the public eye, so it's the closest thing the series has to a FF7 situation (check sales from smash 64 to Melee, huge difference).

Saying Smash U is better than Melee, is just like saying FF13 is better than FF7. Nothing wrong with that
