every single fighting game is dead
sf6 sucks. no one cares about strive even when johnny released. the cartoon platformers are atrocious button mashers. anime fighters are jokes. ultimate is being absolutely cucked by fricking steve. dbfz still doesnt have rollback. rivals 2 is never coming out. tekken 8 is never coming out.
melee pros never played for shit in the first place, they get like 500 bucks for getting first out of five hundred. a teenager won a million bucks for winning one fortnite tournament. what a total utter waste of time.
Because the scenes aren't organic anymore >release a game with tourneygays in mind >season release content >balance patches
That's not what grows a scene because people will either say >i'll wait until it's actually done >i'm not paying 300 bucks for a fighting game
That and zoomers don't like knowing they failed at something so they don't play 1v1 fighting games
"a kids game" only applies to playing it casually at age 6 not ever knowing of the existence of the games tech and exploits, playing it competitively is another beast. its probably as hard as most fighting games to master.
I heard mention of some melee player doing something controversial literally today. what's this thread about? you can't seriously expect me to follow those morons.
No the esports scene is just kind of stagnant, so it's even harder on Melee. Especially with Mango acting like a sandbagging attention prostitute when the community needs him.
phone-addicted gays who refuse to get good. they won't put in the effort to have fun, their snapchat prostitute just begged for money hold on i can't pick a character yet
Wow so dead that SSC and Shine got more entrants than 2022 after the pandemic was supposed to kill it too. Don't worry, keep saying it every year and I'm sure you'll eventually be right before you're 40. Then you'll have really showed those people on the internet.
1.2k entrants for their biggest tournament is low. pretty sure melee used to get 3k entrants for their big tournaments and 900-1500 for every other major. it's dying, anon.
Proof?

Smelle comp scene dies every 3 years and then comes back.
>Being "pro" at a kids game
Lmao

It was hanging on by a thread, once Mango and Hbox became streamers and Youtubers it was all over. Zain, Hax etc. just don't carry the same gravitas.
You could have named any boring current top melee player and you mention Hax?
doubt
melee is still the most fun smash game if you actually take an hour to learn how to play.
melee pro scene is dead
It died years ago.
Now it's just trannies playing.
Good
Did something happen recently or what?
I heard mention of some melee player doing something controversial literally today. what's this thread about? you can't seriously expect me to follow those morons.
Nothing. Just the usual Ganker thread.
No the esports scene is just kind of stagnant, so it's even harder on Melee. Especially with Mango acting like a sandbagging attention prostitute when the community needs him.
Why does Melee cause eternal seething on Ganker?

take a shower and change that diaper
Why are redditors so unoriginal?
>Crusty old stale game where everyone plays the same 5 characters
Wow I wonder why it died........
>Some elitist idiots who think Smash should only be for compgays and threw a fit when Sakurai made everything more casual just DIED.
Oh no... anyway.
>complaining about elitism while posting on Ganker - The Vidya
What killed melee?
Only took 20+ years on a game with no online feature
Pretty sure
>if (cond == true)
compiles to the same instruction as
>if (cond)
It's just done for increased readability
that's the joke.

>those entrants
Dead game.

Only one tournament has ever had over 2K entrants which was EVI 2016.

>for not reason
>fortnot
