Question

Why is There so Much Melee Hate on Here?

Not signalling anyone out, but I've seen so many people hate on the mechanics of Melee and its fanbase. I just have this simple question to y'all who do this: Why? Why have the Advanced Techniques or players who just respectfully prefer faster-paced, more combo focused gameplay done to you?

It doesn't matter how small it is, because of how vocal and toxic they are. It's difficult to ignore.

The Smash 4 defenders are just as toxic. What happened to oneunit?

The Smash 4 fans who accuse me of not playing the "true game" or that I "cling to broken exploits to be good" are just as toxic, just as hard to ignore.

They aren't HATING Melee, you're just witnessing this fanbase in their "tolerance" stage. Miiverse had so much Smash 4/5 (from Melee fanboys) hate since it lacked Melee's "competitive" mechanics like wave dashing, etc. Basically, Melee fanboys were trashing Smash 4/5 and now Smash fans are sending the hate back to shut the fanboys up, and YOU'RE only witnessing their trash talk on Melee

Oh, ok. Now some more cold hard facts for me to swallow. Thanks a lot! I understand their stance moreso now.

I like melee a lot too. But Smash 4 is the currently the best fighting game of all time.

Uhhh, i like to see it as this thing called…………………………………………………………… an OPINION! You know that thing nobody respects?

Yeah it's bold but it the truth. Every Smash Bros game got better and better. Just look scores . Melee had 9.25 Brawl had 9.5 and Smash 4 had 9.75. Smash Bros was the highest fighting game score I had ever seen. According to Gameinformer. I just think that Smash Bros 4 is on another level.

Even though I had a lot of fun playing Melee back in the day, I honestly prefer Sm4sh because the fighting speed is just right for me. That, and I think this game has the best character roster so far. But that's just me.

Well to be fair, both the Smash 4 and Melee community are quite toxic... Melee fanboys that are full of themselves and will rabidly defend the game despite its flaws, and Smash 4 players that will immediately cry "spam" and "OP" because they refuse to learn or have any common sense.

Best Fighting game?...mmm, thats opinionative. Its certainly fun, but when it comes to fighting games I prefer the more combo/traditional based ones, like SF or Tekken. Smash is fun and simple, but when I want my fighting fixes, I go too the more traditional fighters. Melee was a great game. But yeah, the fanbase can be a bit smug. Still find it sad the Smash fanbase is hostile to one another.

Normally, I see Melee fans hating on Smash 4. However, it disgusts me that the Smash community can't let people choose their favorite entry, instead insisting that there is a superior, ultimate game in the series. This community is horrible, never accepting opinions and whining about everything. Don't let haters get to you; play what YOU want to play.

I guess I just live in a chill local scene. I go over to the Smash 4 setups and ask questions from people like Zeton and Crome and the Smash 4 people play Melee from time to time. :P Regardless, Thanks a lot for answering @all! It's quite clear that both of the vocal minorities have hurt the respective fanbases.

I, personally, love Smash as a whole. Sure I'd prefer to play Melee or Smash 4, but I can dip my feet in Smash 64, Brawl, Flash 2, Land, or Crusade from time to time.

It's a good game, and my 2nd favorite gamecube game, but I just like SSB4 more.

Because this is the Smash 4 Miiverse Community. o3o It would likely be the opposite if this was the Melee Miiverse community.
