Super Smash Bros. Melee

Super Smash Bros. Melee, known in Japan as Great Melee Smash Brothers Deluxe (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Derakkusu), often abbreviated as SSBM or simply as Melee, is a crossover fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube shortly after its launch in 2001.

Like its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee differs from traditional fighting games in that inflicting the most damage does not guarantee victory. Instead, opposing players must inflict damage to add to the opponents percentage, to make them lighter, then force their opponents beyond the boundaries of the stage. Unlike other games of the same genre, in which moves are entered by button-input combinations, most moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee can be accessed via one-button presses and a joystick direction.

In addition to highly refining the gameplay of Super Smash Bros., Melee also sports additional stages and characters, and an expanded single player mode, called "Adventure Mode". The game also introduced many of the staples of its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Melee received universal acclaim from critics, and went on to become the best selling GameCube game of all time.

This title has corrupt graphics on the Note8 when using Vulkan, most notably on the Brinstar and Icicle Mountain stages; this may be a driver bug. Use OpenGL to avoid this. See.

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues. The following Gecko codes work as a replacement, causing less issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes.

Revision patch for Netplay
For netplay to work, each player must not only be playing the same game, but have the same revision of said game. However, Melee was sold in many different revisions, and this may block some players from participating in netplay. Your netplay ISO can be patched to other revisions to work around this issue. For details and instructions, see the Smashboards post on the subject.
