Yes.

Melee is still alive and arguably moreso today then ever before, so no.

No. Melee will outlive Ultimate undoubtedly.

No. Ultimate feels better than Brawl and 4, but still not better than Melee. Ultimate may have the most content, but Melee still feels the best.

Ultimate is great for people who never played/ dont want to get into Melee. You only realize it plays like shit if you've familiarized yourself with Melees controls.
Like I played this shit for months before slippi, and only after getting back into melee have I realized just how fucking bad the engine and controls are.
Tl;dr yes, but only because zoomers aren't interested in smelee

Pedophiles vs The Showerless, a battle for the ages

Based. FGtards and Ult shitters have to question eventually why this game has lasted so fucking long.

melee is more alive than ever

Only Melee 2 can kill Melee at this point. No but really if Brawl wasn't so fucking awful, Melee may have very well died on its own before it ever got truly big. The early Brawl era was the point when Melee was closest to dying, until people accepted how fucking awful that game was and went back and discovered how good Melee really was.

I really don't care either way. I'm still mad that Project M was fucked over so badly by VGBC and Nintendo. Project M is the Brawl we should have gotten.

The fact that Melee has a better Online than Ultimate is ridiculous lmao.
I'm glad Ultimate got exposed on that because there is always people saying "Just get a Ethernet bro, it works fine bro."

>Was ultimate the melee killer it was hyped up to be?
was up until the FGO and comp smash fanbase komm susser tod themselves.
is that fire still burning or was it finally put out?

A "Melee Killer" will never exists because what makes Melee beloved is such autistic specific shit, much of which is completely unintentional by the developers.

The only thing that will kill Melee is time..

go to your containment thread or /vg/ smashie

The developers intentionally released the game like that so check mate atheist. Melee's divinity is secured.

no. It's pretty looking and has a huge roster but the gameplay falls well short and gets old fast

I think more of it was intended than you're giving them credit for, like L-canceling and most of the physics. Of course some things like wavedashing and chain grabs weren't on purpose. It's just a really solid game mechanically that a bunch of autists took way further than the devs ever considered it would be.

The di was intentional enough to give me some fucking kill confirms.

Post yfw a bunch of nerds in their moms' basements implement a better netcode for a game they only have access to the machine code of than a multibillion dollar corporation working on one of their flagship games

only melee can kill melee, and currently melee is continuing to evolve and grow

>open game
>start matchmaking
>find an opponent in literal seconds
>play in some good ass netcode
>rematch takes a half second at the fastest
>doesn't waste your fucking time with a useless lobby or some "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER" bullshit
the biggest fighting games on the market with entire dev teams and big budgets don't do online even half as good as the experience built by an autist for patreon money

>Ultimate may have the most content
The irony is that is actually barely has any. Smash 4 beats it and Brawl beats EVERYTHING.
All Ultimate has is the biggest rostr of characters and stages and they're still not even that good.

Game's still kinda fun, though. Just not as fun as Melee. Or Brawl, honestly.

No, but they are such different games that they can both do fine with their current playerbase.

ultimate just has cool characters, that i wish melee had. but the shit netcode, annoying top tiers, and shit community bring it down

Melee turned out to be the Ultimate killer when it got better online and all the top Ultimate players jumped to Melee instead.

Even with all of those stages, I hate playing on a good third of them. So many of the stages from Brawl and onward are just shit.

>pay for online
>can't even guarantee your own rulesets for matchmaking
>lobbies are glorified waiting rooms

Melee fags are such fucking cringe.

It legitimately can't die until there's an official game the polishes its play style and has good production value. Or if there's an HD rerelease that maintains the mechanics without butchering the top tiers in balance changes. Ult couldn't quite manage it just like how 4 couldn't.
>Next Smash comes out
>"Ultimate was always shit. Now the NEW Smash is based because it takes yet more cues from Melee without actually embracing a direct refinement of it. Also fuck Melee lmao"
Actually enough people may have called out this behavior when transitioning from 4 to Ultimate that it might not happen next time. Still kind of hoping it does.

No but if it had an online mode maybe it could have been

Since when does Melee have an online mode?

for years, though a majority of that was under shitty delay-based netcode
Everything changed when a madman worked to implement rollback into this 2-decade-old game

At least they play a good game
