Mine's the exact opposite:

Melee > 64 > Brawl

It's not customer's fault that melee still better and more balanced than brawl and smash bros U. If they want people to love another smash for years to come then make it as good and balanced as melee was back on its day.

Well, the customer is the one that forms the opinion, so yes it is. Melee is my second favourite game of all time, but that won't stop me from loving the other ones.

I love how everyone complains about Smash 4's balance and say Melee is sooo much more balanced. It's been out for a few months for goodness sake. So Diddy has been popular for a few months, yippy-skippy. Need I point out Melee has been out for over a decade and Fox has been dominant for pretty much the *entire time.* Also, could that decade have something to do with the pace of fights? Could it be that - perish the thought - these people have to *learn* the new game's quirks? You know, like they've been doing with Melee for years?

exactly there is more variety in character choices in 4 then melee plus the smash 4 community hasnt found all the exploits yet to make it more intersting

heres the characters that people mostly use

smash melee: captain falcon, marth, falco, fox, or shiek 

smash 4: captain falcon, shiek, zero suit samus, ness, diddy kong, luigi, pikachu, fox, falco(much more variety)



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Remember when Smash 4 first released and the were complaints about Bowser, now it's Diddy, trust me they'll stop trying to use balance as an argument. I like how supposed low tier characters like Olimar and Sonic made it to top 8 with Falcon, Mac and Rosalina. Melee is good but I prefer the new game as the matches are more diverse.

Honestly fed up of Melee fans. Good game, but I feel I have to resent it now because of the fanbase. It's holding the series back as Nintendo constantly feel they have to pander to these Melee fans. The need to make the inferior Gamecube controller compatible with every iteration. Worrying about changing characters too much because shock horror people might have to relearn them. Melee fans even wanted to Nintendo to reintroduce Melee's glitches into Smash 4 e.g. wavedashing. Completely insane, and at least Nintendo didn't cave on this one.

It's just great to see someone win a tournament with Luigi. :D
