It's pretty simple. If you wanna compete in a smash game you play ultimate. If you want to fight shadow realm battles vs autists at the very limit of human ability you play the "game" which used to be smash bros melee

Melee is dead again? I've been offline for a bit so I must have missed that update while I was at my 80-entrant local this week.
Two players who live as far away as possible from North America want to focus on their lives at home instead of traveling all the time? Good for them. One of them isn't even stepping back until 2027 btw.
There's not much money in Melee? What's new? Lol, this isn't a Melee-specific issue. Look at the world around you — does it look like the economy is doing well? Everyone you know has money to spare these days? No, so then don't expect esports of all things to be the outlier.
Believe it or not, most people and even most top players do not play Melee because of the financial gain lmao. We are a community; we play Melee because we genuinely love the game and we love our friends who are/were involved in the scene.
I literally do not care about what a bunch of self-important YouTubers, conservative podcasters, and self-proclaimed white supremacists have to say about the health of the game whose events they have been long banned from for being weirdos. For people who despise the Melee scene so much, you would think they wouldn't be watching and talking about it 24/7 — the definition of loser energy.
There are so many events already lined up for 2026. Go to them! A Melee-only regional literally last week had ~300 entrants. Genesis will happen in one month and everyone will calm down.
Do not go to every single event if you have other priorities. Conversely, having other priorities does not mean that you have to miss every single event. I became a top 10 player while being a full-time biology student. When I started working over a year ago, I then became a top 8 player.
I've been playing Melee since before I could form memories, and I'll be one of the last people on earth playing when I can no longer form memories.
If you think there isn't any good Melee content, go make some — it really is not difficult.
If you enjoy playing Melee, then stfu and play Melee.
