Because of the game mechanics. Nerds found every glitch and exploit giving the game unlimited replay value.

Wavedashing, Dash Dodging, Spiking etc....not that I do any of that stuff...:dame:

There is a lot of tech but nintendo went out of their way to make smash u tournament friendly and people still gravitate towards Melee. :skip:

People played MvC2 for 15+ years but when MvC3 came out a lot of people hated but ran with it. I don't see why smash community doesn't.

From what I've read, yes it does. They balanced a bunch of shyt in Smash Bros 4 and Brawl, that's why Melee is still the most popular one.

Damn didn't know Nintendo did that. My only guess is after people were intially disappointed with Brawl and 4 they just went back to melee.

It's mechanically the best Smash game.

There might be more mechanics/metagame but that doesn't make it better :ld:. Aesthetically the game looks like a complicated piece of shyt and there's less viable characters than Smash U, as a spectator it's :russell: status. But playing it at a high level is very satisfying I will say. Brawl was probably the worst though
