5. MELEE AND BRAWL
-Melee after just a few
short years was able to
amass a huge following in
E-Sports.
-Upon the release of Brawl
a majority of the
community was
disappointed with the final
product.
PROJECT M
Taken from their website:
“Project M is a
community-made mod of
Brawl inspired by Super Smash
Bros. Melee's gameplay
designed to add rich, technical
gameplay to a balanced cast of
characters while additionally
enhancing the speed of play. ”

6. The central theme of the game has remained
unchanged since the original release in 1999
With new additions keeping an already dynamic
game constantly evolving
Easy to pick up and learn, hard to master
