>Smash Bros. 64 released in 1999 >SSB Melee released in

Better technology available, it's still pretty impressive though.

that is literally 10 years

Melee was ridiculously rushed, which is why the game's core content is extremely lacking and the roster is widely imbalanced. Also it had Iwata magic.

Sakurai lived at nintendo until it was done sleeping on the floor and only leaving whenever he had to go to the hospital where he ignored doctors orders to go home and rest

>>378997240
fuck you fag melee is litralley fucking PERFICT disagreeing with me means your fucking GAY

No tourney thread today?

>>378997624
it died

>>378997824
Huh, hopefully when top 64 starts we get threads again

Sakurai is the definition of a workaholic

>>378997094
SSB64 multiplayer is better than Melee. Prove me wrong.

>>378998265
less moves, stages, items, characters and melee has better music

>>378998265
I can't, that's entirely subjective

>>378998265
Melee has coin mode.

>>378997094
I think it was mentioned before that Sakurai has been working on Melee's development for 11 months, 24/7 nonstop. He only had little or no breaks during its development. He considered it as a "life-threatening" development cycle at the time.

>>378998412
By that logic, brawl is better than both.

>>378999102
Casually PM is the best but if we go from official games yes, Brawl would be the best for casuals.

because back then, Nintendo actually focused on games, not gimmicks

melee has pokefloats so it's automatically the best smash

>>378998865
>game sakurai worked his hardest on to life-threatening levels
>still the best smash game
:thinking:

Tourney thread about what, melee?

melee is only competitive because it lifted its physics from Kirby Super Star

HOW?

>>378997094

Melee was rushed beyond all reason, which is why it's riddled bugs and physics quirks. It barely works.

Majoras Mask took 1 year to make

>>379003167
fucking insane man

>>379002618
Extremely hype
Even if shine's got the odds against him, I hope they pull some fun matches

inb4 3-0 wipe

>>378997094
A lot of people assume you need massive loads of time to produce a masterpiece but that's not always true.

Sakurai made melee as if it was the last instalement of the franchise, even if nintendo exploited him after, the game was made to be extremely complete and stay in history, he did that in 13 months.

>>378998265
Take a hike Isai

>>379003523
Absolutely not comparable, majora mask took all the asset from Oot, stupid comparaison.

And melee was much better for what it give to it's own franchise anyway.

>>379002682
Just buy another

>>378997094
iwata the gawd have a hand

>>378999102

>Half-Life, 1998
>Half-Life 2, 2004
>Half-Life 2: Ep 1, 2006
>Half-Life 2: Ep 2, 2007

>>379002682

>>378999102
because brawl is better than both
