It's pretty hilarious that, despite Melee's sweaty reputation, it's basically the best official Smash game even for casual play.

>feels good to actually play and move around
>before everyone got sanitized into their modern designs
>phenomenal and cohesive soundtrack
>basically every single stage barring maybe Icicle Mountain is fun to play on, though I'm sure there's at least one asshole who enjoyed that too
>generally don't have to waste time fighting the stage and can focus on the game
>the items are fun to use and can even take a bit of skill to use effectively, while not being too overpowered
>still has some of the best singleplayer content in a Smash game to this day
>lottery and looking at the trophies is great for taking a break
>barring shit like the Pokemon trophies, way more of the content proportionally was actually made for the game instead of just ripped straight out of other games
