Super Smash Bros. Melee, known in Japan as Great Melee Smash Brothers Deluxe (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Derakkusu), often abbreviated as SSBM or simply as Melee, is a crossover fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube shortly after its launch in 2001.

Like its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee differs from traditional fighting games in that inflicting the most damage does not guarantee victory. Instead, opposing players must inflict damage to add to the opponents percentage, to make them lighter, then force their opponents beyond the boundaries of the stage. Unlike other games of the same genre, in which moves are entered by button-input combinations, most moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee can be accessed via one-button presses and a joystick direction.

In addition to highly refining the gameplay of Super Smash Bros., Melee also sports additional stages and characters, and an expanded single player mode, called 'Adventure Mode'. The game also introduced many of the staples of its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Melee received universal acclaim from critics, and went on to become the best selling GameCube game of all time.

Problems

Saving Screenshots

Saving a screenshot in Camera Mode of Special Melee will just be a black image. You can fix this by turning off EFB Copies to Texture Only.

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues. The following Gecko codes work as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes.

NTSC

The NTSC version of this game has 3 different revisions. You can check the revision of your ISO by going into Game Properties.

Revision patch for Netplay

For netplay to work, each player must not only be playing the same game, but have the same revision of said game. However, Melee was sold in many different revisions, and this may block some players from participating in netplay. Your netplay ISO can be patched to other revisions to work around this issue. For details and instructions, see the Smashboards post on the subject.

Texture Pack

A fantastic beautiful texture pack keeps the original art style can be found here, Melee HD Texture Pack (Dolphin) (v1.01)

There have been many Melee texture packs over the years, so don't stop at the one linked above.

3.0-766Windows 8Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.4GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 570So darn close. Sound glitches are non-existent so long as LLE audio is being used. Half-second pre-rendered cutscene audio lag. Stage 8 classic mode intro sprite alpha problem. Ever-so-slight stutters during certain cases. Examples include loading levels into memory, which doesn't break gameplay, and stuttering during 4-player on certain levels, which can. Fountain of Dreams is the prime case, likely due to the dynamic reflection map (quite a feat for its time on such hardware).Miranda
