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.

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.

Texture Pack

A fantastic beautiful texture pack keeps the original art style can be found here, Melee HD Texture Pack (Dolphin) (v1.01)

There have been many Melee texture packs over the years, so don't stop at the one linked above.

Honguito98
r7408 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.2 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 Exceptional. Some very minor slowdown at the very start of a stage, but it comes and goes in under a second. Some sound problems. MayImilae

3.0-715 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 DUO E7400 @ 3.1 GHz NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Plays perfect at 65FPS without Autoframe limit. Minor slowdowns occur at Winner Screen, also with 4 players on large stages, everything else is perfect. The music still has looping issues. Dmax
3.0-766 Windows 8 Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.4 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 So darn close. Sound glitches are non-existent so long as LLE audio is being used. Half-second pre-rendered cutscene audio lag. Stage 8 classic mode intro sprite alpha problem. Ever-so-slight stutters during certain cases. Examples include loading levels into memory, which doesn't break gameplay, and stuttering during 4-player on certain levels, which can. Fountain of Dreams is the prime case, likely due to the dynamic reflection map (quite a feat for its time on such hardware). Miranda
3.0-776 Mac OS X 10.7.4 Intel Core i7 @ 2.2 GHz AMD Radeon HD 6750M Plays almost perfectly, pretty stable 60FPS. Nolendil

Using "speed up disc transfer rate" makes all music play for 2-3 seconds and stop, but the game continues to run fine. Using any AR codes causes the game to crash after the beginning cutscene and before the "press start" screen.

4.0.1 Windows 7 Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Working 99%. Small lighting bugs in the game but do not effect gameplay at all and are hardly noticeable. "Force texture Filtering" must be on to fix multiple shadows bug. Kilobytez95
4.0-1222 Windows 7 Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Runs 100% speed. I get none of the issues listed above even when using NVIDIA w/ OpenGL except for the very minor lighting issues described in Termina Bay. It's possible all of the other issues were resolved with the recent graphics update. Darxide

4.0-3178 Windows 7 Intel Core i3-2310M @ 2.1 GHz NVIDIA GeForce 610M Fully playable @ 50FPS (PAL version). Some FPS drop at the very beginning of some fights for less than a 1/4 seconds. HauruI
4.0-4163 Ubuntu 14.04 Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 60FPS, all modes work, no framerate drop at Fountain of Dreams unless increasing internal resolution. Fully playable.

4.0-4557 Windows 7 AMD Phenom X4 9750 @ 2.4 GHz AMD Radeon HD 5450 OpengGL 1x rendering 60FPS, framerate drop a little before battle but is fully playable.

4.0-5616 Windows 7 AMD FX-8350 @ 4 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 60FPS on gameplay with some quick little frame stutters here and there. Menus and Victory screen may have frame drops but are fine otherwise. Was able to play up 4x native resolution but had to change audio to LLE recompiler. Major initial frame drop on 4x menu screen but it was fixed up after a battle. Combatheros
4.0-5752 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 Quad NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 Perfect 60FPS, with some small hiccups when loading things (same with almost every game I play). Audio worked fine the first time I loaded it, but now the music cuts out after a few seconds, and I have no idea how to fix it. LotadTheGreat
4.0-5942 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.34 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 Perfect 60FPS still, and we still have that audio glitch. Also, whenever you start a battle, it freezes with this beeping noise, but still says it is running 60FPS. Unplayable. LotadTheGreat
4.0-7123 Windows 10 Intel Core i5-4590T @ 3 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 3xIR and 8x AA on both backends, perfect speed. However there is a strange popping sound in the right speaker that goes on quite rhythmically. I've just disabled sound on it for now. shangry
