Because butthurt Melee elitism That why -_-

@Luca Antinori That's easy. The input lag is 3x as bad in Ultimate as it is in Melee. There are way more broken mechanics despite people complaining about Melee mechanics. Too many characters have counters and they last too damn long. They removed force shielding so zoners are way more irritating to deal with. It doesn't have anywhere near the same fluidity of movement, the buffer system helps a little but it's still not comparable to the level of control you get in Melee.

There already is melee 2, it is called Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

@@TheRandomrandom97 Its Fanmade.

@@memejutsu And? It's still really good, and has proven to be stand alone from Melee and Brawl. If anything, it being community made is amazing.

melee players have done nothing but shit on other smash games and now they have the ghaul to demand we stick up for them. Sorry stinky, you dug this grave.

??? ??? Why would they boycott evo when Ultimate is actually at evo lol?

See I feel for the melee community that their game is no longer at evolution because they had to fight for so long with the rest of the fighting game Community to recognize their game as a competitive game. But nowadays melee gets this bad rap that people seem to Shadow it because of the people who get angry about stuff that happens to smash melee like it was unfair. Smash melee had its time in the Limelight ultimate is here and should take its place I think it is worthy of taking its place as an excellent game with excellent mechanics and amazing ways of entertaining audiences that's all that matters especially to the people who run evolution. The melee Community needs to learn how to grow up and learn that you can't just play one game the rest of your life and expect it to last forever. You look at streamers like nairo and zero and ESAM and realize they've moved on making their streams and content more varied and they play different games and build a community instead of just relying on reputation in smash melee. the smash melee Community is big enough to live on its own now without Evo and can continue to thrive as long as it wants but the competitive world will move on with or without the salty players

No offense intended to Ultimate, but if Melee players become Ultimate players, won't that be like a break for them? I mean, if Ultimate is really so "See Spot Run" unga style then shouldn't the best Melee players quickly rise to the top of the Ultimate ranks only to really have themselves to fight amongst once again.....kinda' just like a new Melee right?

@@mikejonesnoreally The reality is that it's the only game they really know how to play so it ruins opportunities for them. The only reason Melee gets big viewers is for Smash hype, and only a VERY small percentage of them care that it's Melee specifically. The 'lost viewers' won't be lost at all; they'll just be watching Ultimate instead. The only people who genuinely care about this are the 10 people that still play Melee.

@@davidtran1360 EVO has been deepthroating Arcsys for 2 years now. It's clearly bias toward a company that has them in their pocket.

Seriously. Did they really think a 17 year old game would remain at the top spot at EVO? These dudes are mad childish. I know Ultimate is like a better SMASH4 in some ways, but at least Smash4 players moved on. Just like every other FG!

@Jay True that. I was only speaking about the reactions to Melee not making it into EVO, which is the premise of this video. I respect the players who want to support Melee even if Nintey wont, I just dont respect the childish reactions of many of the players in this video.

@@foyo5497 Many of these reactions are clearly ovrereacting for the sake of entertainment, they're definitely over the top but I don't even find that many of them childish. I think all of them have grounds for being angry or frustrated, the logic to remove Melee isn't really sound. The game pulls in a massive crowd both live at the stage as well as online and hasn't had a bad decline. I don't see what doesn't qualify it for EVO and I myself don't even play smash or follow the scene that closely. I think it was Hugs that was trying to say something that with less emotion behind it, which was that it'd make more sense if Melee was getting replaced by some other massive game/brand/franchise but those two games don't really cut close at all. To elaborate on this point, the only logic I can see or accept here is that they don't wanna have two Smash games. But again I would only agree with this if EVO's line up was actually so saturated to the point where melee and ultimate would take too much space. The two games in here don't really do justice for that argument. It's fair if EVO wants to try something new, but then imo out of all these games it makes the least sense to pick Melee, if you wanted to introduce a new or bigger audience, why would you cut one of your largest, off. Again I'm mostly speaking from a company type of view, as a company or tourney provider, this is a really fkn weird move from EVO. I personally don't mind their decision, since I don't follow Melee as closely as prob do. But I think any hardcore fan or player have every reason they need to be upset by this decision as the argument for it is incredibly weak imo.

If we're being honest. Melee was never really even a fighting game. Just a disgusting mess of glitches and exploits. Gotta love how Smash doesn't want Melee anymore, but Melee has no idea why anyone wouldn't want them though.

The Rape Face damn you really had a very good and tactful message, then you kinda just ruined it. They’re mostly mad because of the fact that they were replaced by 2 games that hadn’t even been released when the lineup was announced

Good thing most SF fans knew how to move on, granted Capcom taught them how by essentially releasing updated versions of the same game as if it were new. The melee community doesn't need to move on. They just have to accept that they were never entitled to have a spot at EVO. It was earned and other games are meant to earn their spot. Melee did a lot for the FGC and EVO can always honor it in ways other than holding tournaments for it. Melee is fortunate enough to have such a consistent run at EVO and they should be grateful people decided to keep holding tournaments for it post Smash 4... and if I remember correctly, Smash 4 almost didn't make it to EVO because of Nintendo. Imagine possibly having zero semblance of a Smash presence at the biggest fighting game tournament of the year.

Poison Kiss MvC3 going off and later no MvCi at evo hurts a lot still.

Poison Kiss smash wasn’t in evo originally fool it had its own community

forgive me if im wrong, but sf2 turbo was a simpler version of street fighter than sfv/sfiv. I would say a more accurate analogy would be for 3rd strike, since it still has a diehard community and has a deep metagame

@@mikejonesnoreally You know what evo is, right?

@@mikejonesnoreally Then why did you ask "Is EVO really that big of a deal?" You should very much know it is a really big deal

Hmm. I think I failed to make my point. Simply put? EVO didn't *start* as a big deal and it's not exactly run by Elon Musk types. I.E. It's success could be duplicated by other good games with enough effort put into it, and *exceeded* so long as you had a bit more business acumen and didn't forget where you came from or what made you grow to begin with. EVO loses more and more steam as players wake up to the fact that they are *paying* for a commercial. You know. Those things that most guys get pissed at and skip?

Ya! It's time to let games that don't even have release dates yet have the limelight!

Personally dont get why melee players are having such a cry. They can have a side bracket. You dont see the hardcore ST or 3S players crying there game isnt included. A lot of the melee people play ultimate so the lack of cross over between smash 4 and melee isnt an excuse for them to still be a main game anymore.

If melee was the only title then I would agree, but there are so many others getting played and melee has a much larger community compared to some of the other games on the list. Not including it is just stupid and will hurt their viewership.

@@exiaR2x78 3S is only still popular in japan and st is dead just about everywhere. Melee is still mainstream and alive.

@@Trivselteknikern melee's viewership isn't going to grow. As a business evo wants to grow and expand, so they bring in the new things which veteran players move onto and draws in new players. Moving onto the new thing is more likely to net bigger rewards and continually push growth which they can capitalize. Like why did sony make the ps3 if the ps2 sold so many copies? Same logic, so they could move onto the next thing and expand upon their business and continue growing. TL;DR viewership means diddly squat if you're not going to grow and draw in new audiences. Melee's fanbase is melee's fanbase. New players aren't really attracted to it as opposed to the widely available options nowdays.

That profile Pic bro

Leffen is gonna be fine because he can actually compete in other games (see: DBZ). Most of these other guys have been trying so hard to stay relevant in Melee for years and can't really afford to branch out.

Guilty gear 😂

I wouldn't be so mad if skullgirls had got in over 'curry night stillbirth' or whatever the troll of like 'hey time to finally show some love to an old dedicated community' 'as long as its not called skullgirls'

No, Leffen shit talked just like the rest.

I just wish the selection was better, I mean samurai showdown is way to new, and under night is meh but even weebs like myself dont know this game which is weird. I feel like guilty gear deserved to be there more then the other too, no disrespect to people who like those two games, but I can think of a few other games that would of been better picks as those two that do not include melee. Yea seeing the same people in top 8 is annoying, to be fair games have left and returned to evo, so I guess if we got melee there next year it says something but thats my opinion.

Did you just call Ultimate harder than Melee.😂

@@kurthuffman8116 Did you swap your milk for bleach in your coffee? I never said Ultimate was HARDER than Melee. i said it was Harder for the Aging, older scene to swap to ultimate because they know they'll get bodied by the new kids. Melee is a bunch of old-guys trying to hold onto what last shred of "Hype" they can. the game is done, we've done all we can do in it, there is fuck all progression, you know what to expect. there is no Dev Support and any 3rd party support is outright banned by Nintendo, even if Project M would breath new life into the Melee scene or even the use of Emulators to get 60fps (Which would dramatically change the frame mechanics of Melee and give it new life)

@@NithcraalGoyle Yeah man, Plup, Leffen, Axe, Zain, Amsa, they're all pretty much grandparents at this point. Also what are you smoking, Melee runs at 60fps.

@@kurthuffman8116 Ehhh.. it "runs" at 60fps just like a fat kid can "Run" for 10 seconds. maybe it was my gamecube but even 1 v 1 caused some slowdowns when action got fast-paced.. kinda like how most Melee tournaments are from match one. I dunno where you got me being a crybaby from.. or that i hate Melee. Melee is fucking old. we're not still playing fucking SFII or Tekken 3 are we? Melee has a direct sequel with patching, support, online play including online tournaments and the like. Ultimate has a scene that can grow and grow and grow outside of limited tournaments, which Melee is using as life support. the only reason Melee pros are complaining is because they can't swap to Ultimate and be good, the talent in Ultimate casts a huge shadow over them and none of them want to work for their spots again. plus the whole fact they're getting on in terms of Age and most eSports players retire before 30 because the reaction times are just not there anymore. Melee is an amazing game, but like all good things it's time to end it and let the newer generation take over where they left off. lest it becomes the old racist, geriatric grandpa of the Fighting game world. that everyone says "Ok grandpa" and shoves back into the corner.

Skullgirls is badass. “Corevalues” my ass lol.

Oh you'd be surprised

how uninformed do you have to be to post this shitty comment? Melee isn't some random 2001, game and just because a game is old does not make it not competitively fun to watch as an esport. People like this "shitty" game that a lot of people apparently think for a damn reason.

@@RazorGuild every other game is new or recent and all I said was from 2001. Its old and outdated. Don't live in the past man 2001 was fun but at EVO for so long holy crap. But now there's a new learn that

@@RazorGuild The problem is that all new strategies and techniques have been exhausted and the meta is already going from stale to flat out rancid.

@@RazorGuild No game nearing 20 years old can be a main stage game, its all about money and staying current. Its just the way it is now that the FGC is eSports. Happens to every franchise and none will be spared.

@@libraalbert91 Some things age better than others. *looks at FortNite*

MishiMashi how to enforce toxicity

what are people going to do when evo still smells like butthole and there are no melee players to blame

Check your spelling before trying to be snarky.

@@ARMTOAST deep clean the carpets to wash out the smell of melee player buttholes

ARMTOAST blame the fanbases of Anime fighting games(besides db fighterz, obviously )

This comment deserves waaaaaaaay more likes lmao.

Larmar Florian it literally doesn’t

@@unicornhorn6662 Oh but it does. And it doesn't just apply to Melee players. I got humor out of it, as did nearly 100 others. Lighten up pal. GGWP.

Larmar Florian how does it feel to think you’re part of a community

I don't get this joke. It was proved that that venue was a Smash4 one.

plus there gonna be there to play Ultimate anyways what would melee not being there have to do with them

“Boy that’s just crazy”

Like, why should Ultimate players boycott EVO for Melee? Most of Ultimate's playerbase is Brawl/Smash 4 and Melee has shittalked Smash 4 and Brawl for such a long time.

Tbh I think its impossible since Evo is bigger than Genesis,Frostbite,SmashCon,Summit and all those other once also this is there first year in Evo so I don't see them being all like hey let's not watch the first SSBU Evo

Melee players need to make up their minds. Last year it was “EVO doesn’t even matter” and now it’s “We’re getting replaced! I’M MAD!”

the crt immediately falls into the toilet, destroying the last melee tournament legal monitor and freeing us all from this curse

the audacity of thinking melty blood players will give up their bathroom to melee french bread managed to kill melee twice in one fail swoop. god bless

What do you mean by that, Melty already owns the bathrooms

I don't think there was any bad blood between the actual communities, it was just salt that their game didn't get what they thought was their right to be on the main stage.

I mean living off a game and playing it are rather different. And it's the previous history that made the moment bitter. At this point the community will still exist and I have a feel although it wont be any time soon in my life time I bet it will be back

Nairo, yeah. But Leffen almost immediately turned around and shit talked Unist.

@@yakov9903 I mean leffen does have full right to. He does play actual fighting games. He does have credibility when talking about fighting games.

I'm 18 years old and I played melee when my older brother use to bring his gamecube over all the time. But i was never a fan of the community, but it's still a fun game overall

vDeadbolt Bitch don’t Talk shit about unist, And Leffen Shit talking unist like a little bitch gotta go,

Fuck that game I'd rather have Melee at Evo than Ultimate.

Literally the dumbest opinion the logical result is stay so consistent that we eventually we come back

@True Roman they're mad ultimate depends on skill and not a shit ton of broken tech that took them 20 years to master

Melee is so fucking unbalanced it have like 5 goods characters but the rest are just shit and im happy this hot mess isn't in the EVO lineup anymore.

@@imaginary_pain4324 pikachu vs puff was grand finals of genesis bro. Pikachu is like the 9th or 10th best character.

melee players do nothing but shit on games that have actual rosters and dont require cheating to compete, then they have the gaul to demand the smash community bloycott evo for them? Pathetic

@@jackmcmorrow9397 I've seen way more toxicity from the haters then the real community from this

@@56mdk ok

@@jackmcmorrow9397 cheating to compete? what, wavedashing and move cancelling? shit, guess B-hopping and blast jumping in the old Quake games is cheating too. not even a melee player

@@bobsnob3073 glitch exploitation is a better phrase than cheating. Need I remind you of that melee god who dropped out of a major tournament (might have been evo) because he couldn't find a controller with a specific defect that allowed him to exploit some glitch with dashing, a glitch he LITERALLY couldn't compete without?

it's because it's still one of the largest active fgc scenes on the planet, it hasn't came to an end it's just being excluded so it's not progression it's just a snub

people are allowed to be sad and mad that their game is gone nobody's going to be happy that they're not going to be able to compete in Evo anymore

To those fools i say, "Sic em Poppy!"

May Ambrosia have mercy on their souls.

idk what it is. The most popualr fighting games on twitch are sf, tekken, dbzf, mvc, and smash. everything else is below flopped games in viewership so *shrugs* idk why I would bother watching a game that has less viewers flopout 76.

* Puts on old man glasses* That's because you kids these days only care about view count instead of quality or history.

From a non biased standpoint is someone going to watch something with great entertainers and alot of vocal pros with a huge following or the other one which they may not even see the 1st few times they hit load more on the browse page? I'm not trying to hate on anything this is just the reality of it. @@wakkaseta8351

Lmao

*Sees Ultimate in the list*... okay... if you say so...

@@mentalrectangle it was when they announced UNIST and Shodown. One is as old as melee and they others is a good anime fighter. They really need to try new things

Lmfao 🤣

I can't even consider BBTag as an actual fighting game.

@Reese Labbe But melee's a party game.

OK you got a laugh off me

U good?

Games being extremely versatile in gameplay, god forbid right? We want our one-dimensional games! lul capcom shill.

That's the truth. They have to turn off the default settings to play make-believe fighter.

@TsukuyomiREKT How is he salty? Those were facts, imagine having fighting games that function the same (Lifebars that have to be chipped away) for majority the lineups.

Danceofmasks ultimate has almost the same rule set for almost tournaments as well 😂

containeduniverse low no it’s because with items on and with a percentage of stages on it makes it unfair.

🦀 MELEE IS GONE 🦀

*CRAB RAVE* Suck it, Melee players.

Nah

I love Melee and this is funny, lol.

Let go! Melee finally dying off!

Honestly the Marvel Community was a bit more mature about it. I personally almost didn't go last year since Marvel wasn't there, but I got over myself and tried some new games.

@@belinskiparadox7687 I didn't go last year. I found out later that Marvel was a side event and I got miffed. But now I know that it'll be a side tournament again this year so I'll be there.

@Jay Mostly is an overstatement. At its core. Marvel Infinite is a solid game. Registration still caps out a many large events.

@@belinskiparadox7687 Marvel people went to Dragonball fighters, and they were not disappointed

@@randomallryu2456 Nah infinite is piece of trash game. Only the people that cant get over the fact that mvc sucks now say that crap that gameplay is really good just to justify them playing that garbage. Nobody cares about that game, everybody is waiting for mvc4 to come and be good (although i would prefer a capcom vs anything else but marvel at this point).

@Newbodie i don't care about it not being in evo - i'm not that dedicated to the community, however i assume that you're one of the imbeciles who believe that melee isn't a fighting game - i'd ask you to describe what type of game it is, then.

@Newbodie if i had to take a guess just based off of the last sentence there, i'd say that you'd be the toxic one

@Newbodie Just because some stupid people were rude to you in voice chat, suddenly everyone that likes Melee is toxic?

@Newbodie internet is always a bad place for first impressions, dont you think?

GameCrumb The I will give me a shot srsly

@@ShaunInce123 and BTS went under

*Real fighting games*

Lol you FGC fuckers are the most smug, elitist assholes I've ever met. "Oh, it doesn't meet my EXTREMELY NARROW definition of what a fighting game is, it isn't a REAL fighting game." FOH

@@megakirbyx Yeah and I love how they say all our games look the same. All your shit looks the same, but I'm not dumb enough to assume every game plays the same.

megakirbyx What? I was literally just pointing out that they were fighting games. Am I wrong? You seem very angry for no reason.

@@megakirbyx I love Smash the only game I play competitively. Just saying, it's a Platform Brawler. Not a fighting game. Game genres are varied for a reason. Trying to lump very different games together when they are fundamentally different is ridiculous. Final Fantasy and Fable are both RPGs. But one is a turn-based JRPG, the other is an Action RPG. They are fundamentally different genres. Calling people elitist because they don't see Smash as a fighting game is rather narrow sighted. Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter are different in terms of mechanics, but they are similar enough to be in the same genre. Smash is extremely different. The goal in Smash is to knock your opponent off stage while in a fighting game it's to lower their health bar and win rounds. Fighting Games look a certain way. Smash is its own genre.

You mean the other smash? What was his name? ... I do not remember. And by the way, who is Salem?

Roberto de Jesús Rangel where the fuck have you been all this time?

@@raguel259 Basically, after making rude comments about Melee's absence from EVO, Liquid|Salem became just Salem. As in, he was fired,] from his sponsor.

LUL

@@23TheOneAndOnly23 holy shit they dropped him. That's hilarious

What are their core values?

Right??!

I don't understand why is his fault

Master Huaso Because he mains Jigglypuff, a character by all means defies Melee's meta of Fox, Falco, Marth, and sometimes Peach. That people say kill Melee. Smh just let the man main the character he wants the play, shouldn't be that hard to adapt to the playing style of a singular man and his puff.

Smasherfan88 UP THROW REST WOOHOO

Wait where was that part? I think I may have missed it

@smh ur hecking gay hey so turn that upside down and now you got hbox

Guilty Gear Rev 2 and Blazblue Central Fiction are side tournaments for Evo.

It was a worthy sacrifice and it will always be remembered

dw, GG will bounce back when a new titles announced. It's sacrifice won't be in vain.

@top 10 anime accounts GG is not dead. Guilty Gear Rev 2 and Blazblue Central Fiction are side tournaments for Evo 2019

This ain't about whether it's a side tourney or not, we all know it's gonna be there. THIS, is about the main stage spot my dudes. And UNIST finally got it, it's about time. Thank you Xrd, bless thy soul.

you are a circus

Melee don t need evo but its suck to not be there after all the record melee did

@@blue_sans4934 All things must come to an end.

Because everyone who still plays melee in 2019 are men children who refuse to let go of the past of the game cube days

Melees dead

@Latino Chico Lmao you're probably like 14, step down little kid. You were probably in diapers when Melee was released. Go eat a tide pod lol

Hell yes! Youre correct.

Ultimately, Ultimate just won the ultimatum.

Samurai showdown is a fucking CLASSIC! So glad it's getting a remake.

Memeda give me my godly pixel game please. Not this 3D trash

nothing replaced melee, no one killed melee, melee killed itself.

ummmmm cheezburger
