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.

almost fully playable, slow down to 4 different characters, with the same characters in every player works fast as long as not a very large area (ex. in fountain of dreams is very slow) the FPS go from 30 to 50 (In the PAL version). Honguito98

I haven't seen the stage 8 classic mode glitch. I will check that out. The game runs smoothly, with occasional audio bugs and glitches as seen in the Problems headline. Doubled-revolutions

  • Windows 8

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

  • Windows 7
  • Intel Core i7-3770K
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680
Full 60FPS everywhere with no audio bugs using LLE. 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.
3.5-367
  • Windows 7
  • Intel Core i5-2450
  • Intel HD Graphics 3000
60FPS almost all the time. Choppy audio during GPU intensive gameplay. AR Codes only work for certain versions of SSBM. (US Versions (GALE01) crash after the main screen, while European Versions(GALP01) work just fine. SpectreOne

A consistent 60FPS was found during playtesting. The FPS may drop to 50-55 when playing on large stages or with multiple players. Tested on 1x Native Resolution.

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

OpengGL 1x rendering 60FPS, framerate drop a little before battle but is fully playable. DX is 60FPS but more drops and more stuttering before start battles; 2x causes heavy slowdowns before battles, 30-60FPS in battle on both OGL/DX; The sound is Perfect Alfresitu

  • 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

  • Windows 7

  • 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

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
