'''''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.
'''''Super Smash Bros.

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.

=== Revision patch for Netplay ===
=== Revision patch for Netplay ===
Recommended revision: '''1.02''' (MD5: 0e63d4223b01d9aba596259dc155a174)
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 [https://smashboards.com/threads/ssbm-version-converter-patcher-32-bit-beta-released.295223/ Smashboards post on the subject].
<!-- Curating revision patching is not the responsibility of the Dolphin wiki or community. The patching is already curated well by the Smash community, so we should always link to their curation, and not try to host the files and instructions ourselves. -->


Download the xDelta patch for your revision from below. Then use [http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/ xDelta patcher] (Windows) to patch your disc image with the patch file for either revision depending on the revision of your disc image.
=== Texture Pack ===
