 I have played this quite a few times now, and every time I play with my friends, I stand there like an idiot with some dumb character, while my friends who own the game and have played it extensively do all these amazingly cool things! I know that all games have ana adjustment period, but even Red Steel is easier to play, and the controls on that are messed up! Will the next one be easier to play? Seeing at its on the Wii, which is supposed to be extremely intuitive, shouldn't they make it easy to pick up, and a bit fun?

I got SSBM the Christmas it came out (like 6 years ago) and picked up the controls very fast. The more you play it, the better you get and the better moves you can pull off. Now, I fight 3 lvl 9 computers just for fun.

p.s. The best part are the multi-player melee's

Super Smash Bros. Melee is a top notch game for many reasons.  It was released I believe six years ago, and the ratio of time vs sales, is the number one selling game on the GameCube market.  I personally think its one of the best for the system.  I enjoy the type of gameplay it supplies, and is an absolute blast to play with friends.

It doesn't take long to be able to easily handle 3 level 9s (i play 3 level 9s, 5 or 6 stock and rarely come close to dieing). I think the controls for the game work great, sure it takes a while to master some things but it is easy to pick up and play using no real combos and nothing more then double jumps, and then as you get better you'll be able to dodge, air dodge, combo, smash, c stick, etc, etc.

"Oh yes look at me! I just have to blurt out how many lvl 9 cpu's i can beat! I'm so damn COOL!

What that? You can do it with more stock left!?! LIES! YOUR SUCH A NOOB!"

That pretty much sums up EVERY ssbm conversation on this board.

Multiplayer is awesome and it has lots of great stages and plenty of things to do and it is fun to play. It is one of the best games ever.

Sadly, I have to agree with the poster. I just couldn't get into it, the controls are confusing and battle outcomes seem arbitrary. It is somewhat fun with three other players but my earlier comments dampen the fun factor.

i know what you mean man, it takes some getting used to before you understand the control scheme well enough and can play extremely well, and thats when it gets enjoyable; when your friends are also at that level and it makes for some great competition

I completely agree with gabcd86 and Drizzt_79. I was thinking the same thing but was too afraid to say it! I was very disappointed when I started playing it and didn't really feel the need to probe any further. I held on to it thinking it would be excellent in multiplayer but my friends were completely nonplussed by it as well. I just can't see why it has such a cult appeal when the controls are far too loose and the gameplay far too shallow. Sorry SSBM fans.

Disagreed. Multiplayer or Single, I can't stand SSBM. I payed $40 for a copy based on its reputation, and I feel I got ripped off by at least $50. Its the type of game they should just give out free in kid's cereal boxes......just my personal opinion.

You had trouble with the controls? Get used to them because you're going to suck at this game if you don't. I had trouble with the controls too, but after getting used to them it was really fun.
The two people I tried to teach Smash Bros to seemed to catch on pretty quick.

The mulriplayer is what really sells the game. Single player is alot of fun too though, just takes some practice (hopefully not against folks that are going to destroy you in 10 seconds).

You choose your character, and beat another character which you get to say "in your face" once you win.  That why my friends and I play.  It gets crazy when your fighting and it gets intense and you start yelling, yeah thats why I play.  Saying in your face, being intense, yelling, what else do you want?

There is nothing "good" about SSBM. SSBM has some features and that people tend to like some of these features.

I find SSBM easier to get into than other fighting games. The B button and A button, shield and grab are easy for me to grasp.

There is however a lot of physical technique to the game, well in higher level player. Players may chase you down as you fall, in order to make sure you die.

SSBM has 4 player support, dozens of modes to try, a tournament mode, a host of 20+ characters (although many are clones), dozens of levels, challenges and trophy mode. To me, the simple gameplay is the most significant. 

I'm not into physical fighters, but more into ones where you have to determine which move is the best for each situation, which I find Soul Calibur does well.

Maybe one of my main problems with it was that while I was struggling to do anything other than hit people with a yellow piece of paper (WTF Mario?), my friends were all very good, which ruined the fun a bit. In fact, most of the Nintendo games we played that night annoyed me - Mario footbal and Red Steel too. I think i didn't enjoy Mario footbal simply because I am used to Fifa's system of LOGIC! and not shells and freakish mushrooms attacking you all the time, free, unstoppable goals that only the experienced players can do. Just an opinion, however - I can totally see why they're both so popular - because it seemed the others were having fun... I was just missing Morrowind, and when I got replaced In SSB, I went off and played LocoRoco! SO you can't say it's the style of game that I don't like!
