I think it had a little to do with the tournament being played on the prior patch, and both players knew how their MU was going to play out. I do prefer consistently seeing the same players in top 8 to the current trend of Mickey Mouse brackets in Melee decided by whether Zain, Cody, hbox, and Moky will attend.

Top tiers and Japan basically killed the game

Ironically, Japanese brackets are actually decent. You'll regularly see unexpected characters make it to top 16 or even top 8. This issue is that Japan shits on NA and EU, and the only Japanese players who travel are the tier whores like Acola, Miya, Hurt, Doramigi, and Raru. So every single notable Western top 8 is polluted with Steve, G&W, Snake, Min-Min, and Luigi. And then you factor in all the frauds in NA who play these characters or other, equally cancer characters like Sonic and ROB. Ultimate is truly a terrible, terrible competitive game.

It used to be novel when Japanese players would travel for supermajors or Summit. Now Japanese players are just regularly farming NA players and the only one who can consistently stop them is Sparg0. Just look at 2025's notable Western tournaments:
>Supernova
Miya, Doramigi, Hurt, and Sparg0 taking 1st - 4th in that order
>Smash Factor
Sparg0, Hurt bustered out in bracket
>GoML
Sparg0
>that tournament in France with an orchestra
Miya
>LVL UP
Doramigi
>BoBC
Rare Gluttony win
>Genesis
Hurt, Acola, Zomba, Shuton, Tea, Luugi (Luigi), Tweek, and Miya in that order
>LMBM
Sprag0, with Hurt (the only notable Japanese player present) taking 2nd

No one likes watching the Japanese players that make it to these top 8s, or more accurately the characters they play. No one likes Steve. No one likes G&W. No one likes Min-Min, Snake, or Luigi. And even when these players and characters aren't present, all that means is you get joke top 8s where you get shit like Pikachu timing out Mega Man.

No, he has a good Aegis, which he used to beat Sparg0 last year at Kowloon 12. Then at BOBC7 he forgot how to fight him and got buttfucked.

To be fair Steve is a horrible matchup into Cloud. Spargo's record against Japs who play other characters isn't nearly as good. He tends to get dumpstered by Miya and Tea whenever they play.

No? He's very positive against Miya. It's Tea and Doramigi who filter him, and Toriguri to a lesser extent since they've only played twice.

I just tried mewtwo. Why doesn't any of his moves have any priority? Why hasn't this game been modded to be a little more fair? These low tiers are only low tier because they weren't properly programmed and that's it.

Blame whatshisface the streamer dude Ludwig for encouraging Mango's behavior. Mango was doing what was acceptable for him and Ludgwig nudged and encouraged him.

It already isn't melee anymore, so who cares? Might as well create a better melee while we're at it.

Miya and Sparg0 have only played once this year, at S Factor 12, where Sparg0 beat him.

Why does ultimate always get the final slot over melee nowadays? You could argue ultimate is more popular especially in entrants but the fact remains it hasn't gotten more views than melee in nearly two years. It's not 2019 anymore. Right now ults top 8 is on the front page of twitch and still only has 7k views. No one in America wants to watch this garbage. Even the audience is noticeably smaller.

Cause it's more popular than Melee. WAY bigger. The fact that it has massive scenes in Europe and Japan (where Japan had a super major last night) should clue you in.

It was pretty good up until Steve since he invalidated most of the cast. A lot of characters were viable and Mkleo was always fun to watch since he destroyed everyone with mid tiers.

For Brawl and 4 veterans, it's because it's "the new one". For zoomers, it's mostly brand loyalty or fanboyism.

True, but a lot of people are beginning to look back on 4 in a more favorable light. And RoA2 is better if you want a competitive platform fighter than isn't Melee.

because they would rather have the same lame gameplan working every time than actually having to think up things because everyone can cheese you
Anonymous No.718990195

Or perhaps because there was only one truly overcentralizing meta character who would cheese you effortlessly (Bayonetta). Cloud was obviously top tier, but was still playing Smash. No one wants to play the Steve, Sonic, Snake, G&W, or Min-Min minigames - even at the top level, where top players will commonly counterpick to avoid extremely disadvantageous MUs where one character obviously can't play the game.
Look at the top and high tiers in 4, it was so much more grounded than Ultimate is now:
>Cloud
>Diddy
>Sheik
>Mario
>Fox
>Mewtwo
>ZSS
>Marth
>Corrin
The goofiest shit was basically Bayonetta, Diddy, Rosalina, Sonic, and Ryu.

Anonymous No.718991721 >>718992028

It's a messy story but the gist of it Mang0, a known alcoholic who can't control his intake, was invited by other Smash players and organizers to an event where the goal was to get as drunk as humanly possible. Mang0 drank so much he became at risk of getting alcohol poisoning while the guys around him kept cheering him on and handing him more beer, and he ended up air humping behind a girl's head multiple times. The community banned him for a year over it and Mang0 gave an apology and says he's going to seek help for his alcoholissm

It's absolutely partly Mang0's fault for entering the situation, but it's also the fault of the guys who enabled it and never cut him off at the event, but only Mang0 got punished while the other guys saw no reprecussions

If I were mango after the fact I'd just say "fuck off, YOU got me drunk" then show up to an event with him anyways just to see what happens.

I love melee but I haven't played it in the last couple years (and probably won't anymore)
As for the competitive scene I think it peaked around 2018. It was already on the decline before the lockdowns, but afterwards it was clear that the main attraction had turned into a sideshow that no one really took seriously. Plus a lot of the best players had quit.
It sounds like the 1v1 gamemode is still going strong but that's not as fun.
