>26 characters >only 8 of them are viable >all the rest

Because people feel empowered playing a partygame with glitches.

Because it's the only truly competitive official Smash game. If PM could get played at EVO, everyone would drop Melee like the outdated game it is

Because it isn't slow (besides 64) like the other smash games, and requires lots of skill in order to get gud.

>>267415841
you can't even name the "8 viable characters". why even make this thread?

>>267416397
Isn't this tool assisted?

>>267416931
marth
fox
falco
sheik
jigglypuff
peach
c. falcon
the ice climbers

>>267416931
Fox
Falco
Marth
Captain Falcon
Peach
Jigglypuff

No idea about the other 2 OP was thinking of. Maybe Yoshi even though literally one person plays that character seriously

WOMBO COMBO OHHHHH WOMBO COMBO

Seeing someone play Captain Falcon is pretty damn entertaining. I wish he were more tournament viable

>tfw Isai quit

>>267415973
you must suck at it

>>267415841
You can win with midtiers too, maybe you wont win nationals but characters like pika, dr mario, luigi and samus are all viable

>>267417949
SHEIK???

>>267417894
pikachu and yoshi

>>267419693
lol no

I don't understand this massive debacle about Casuals vs Tourney stuff. Does everyone hate Melee now or something? Would it honestly be so bad if the new Smash had Melee mechanics? Everybody liked Melee.

>>267419874
You have autism if you think Axe and AmSa don't show that the characters are completely fine and viable. Samus is another one that's completely viable. Seriously, kill yourself. You're a fake-ass posing mother fucker if you think you know all this shit and then say "durr these characters arent viable"

pop a glock in your mouth and make a brain slushy you fucking primate.

Majors regularly have 11–15 characters in top 32.

Some of them are rarer than others (sometimes single instances at single events), but making it to top 32 is no small feat when these events have 570, 629, 709, even 970 man brackets. Melee is a great game because you can challenge the meta if you try hard enough. The tools are there, the skill ceiling is enormous.

Pikachu places high whenever Axe plays him, and Shroomed's doc is incredible, maybe you just have to git gud to place high with characters outside the top 8
