it is both a monkey and a boombox
Playing a girl MC in a game like fire emblem means you have to romance dudes and that is not ok with me as a heterosexual male uncomfortable with confronting the deeper aspects of my sexuality. The only game where this is ok is Mass Effect because Garrus is a baller.

Still feel like they should have included Isaac from Golden Sun with his kickass Psynergy for a proper interesting JRPG protagonist :colbert: (Or Jenna, Garet, Sheba, Ivan or any of the others....)

Isaac would suck because he wouldn't be able to be voiced and any exclamation he did would be in the form of a bunch of "!" 's and "?" 's above his head

Knuckles and Lyn are already in beta for PM, and are in the coding for the game and have been for a very long time.

The difference is Mario and Link are from good games (for the most part)

It takes a whole lot of thinking when you're desperate for Melee to stay relevant when SSB4 is so much better in every way.

Except the single player.

And the game mechanics.

And the original music.

And the stages.

Yep, definitely superior in every way and not better in some and worse than others.

E: ffs Melee has twice the entrants Smash 4 does at an upcoming tournament (1025 to about 600), that sounds pretty relevant to me

The mechanics and stages are better in this as far as I can tell, most people who still play melee competitively would continue to play melee regardless of how good wii u smash is.

Edit: I think the playerbase for each game has a lot more to do with SSBM being an older game on a not-dumb console. It's still a worse game.
