But then again, a few of my friends never grew up with Nintendo and still love the game. *Shrugs shoulders*
"Uuuuurrr, this pink dude looks pretty homosexual. Hur hur hur. What the hell is this, some 2D dude frying bacon for an attack? How crap. Oh wait, I think I'm really enjoying this game, I just won't let on I am."

Its charm is that its simple to pick up, and tricky to master. You CAN win by mashing the buttons. So it is a relatively level field skill-wise, and you can never truly get away from the fighting. One rule we have is that the cowards get ganged up on big levels like Hyrule Castle, so there is definitely a skill in survival.
Ultimately, if you find it boring, don't whinge here. Get three friends and try again. When the players are evenly skilled, it is the best multiplayer on the GC.

If you are playing it alone, then you will most likely be bored out of your skull.
Not me
I had only this game to play for about five months (had Gauntlet, too, but my friends and I beat most of it in one day together), and I played it alone a LOT. And I still love the game.Of course, at some point I started making up alternate plots and stuff, something I tend to do when I get bored of a game, to increase my interest. Still great fun, though. But maybe I'm just dumb.

During that rental period I realized why I didn't like the first game: I didn't really know how to play it. A friend who owned the N64 game never taught me how to play it properly and turned me off by schooling me constantly with cheap throw tactics. With the Cube game I actually learned how to play and ended up getting good enough to beat my friends on a semi-regular basis. I liked it enough that I decided that after my final exams were finished I would reward myself by buying it.
It was after buying it that I really learned all the nuances of the fighting system and really fell in love with the title. My brother and I used to play it every day after work until we unlocked the sound test. In the end it probably took us about a month of daily playing (we would sometimes spend days just on one event).
I think one reason that I like it so much was because for a while there was nothing else to play so since I couldn't switch to another game I had to take the time to get good at the game. Now the Cube library is big enough that if I get stuck on a game I always have something else to play so I lose interest pretty easily. Melee was like playing a game back in the old days where, because I was a kid with no money, I had only one game to play for months. I think Melee was the right game at the right time and starting it out brand new right now is not going to be as appealing.
However if you've only just started playing and you don't like it keep it up until you know how to play. Then decide if it's worth keeping.

Even if you still don't like it after some hours of play with it, it's alright. Not everyone is going to like this game for whatever reason it is.

I hated both SSB and SSBM at first, but I came to love both after really getting good at them, especially SSBM. I actually played SSBM first, and then buying the original with lots of interest. SSBM has infinite replay value. From release date from November 2001(?) to December 2003, I cannot put the game down. Everything (character, item + stage select) is completely randomized. I did not buy another game for GCN until March 2002, 3 months later.

Give me any character, any handicap setting. I'll prove your button mashing attitude wrong.
Post by: Hostile Creation on December 08, 2003, 04:21:09 PM
To us, it's hardly even a game anymore. It's. . . a challenge and a battle of skills (and a helluva lot of fun). I don't even know how to explain it. Hilarious, fun, awesome, involved game.

"That many people can't be wrong, but it seems to me that it is just a wild frenzy of button mashing"
Like some others have said, take some time to learn the game- everyone button mashes at first because they don't know what they're doing, but once you've played it enough and learn the little nuances of the characters and their moves, it's a very fun game.

A favorite "mode" of my brothers, our friends and myself is to take a level nine character and give him a nine handicap (turn all of ours down to one) and then we all face that computer together. (sometimes one of us will play as the the "uber" character while the others try and kill that player)
We've also been known to turn off the pause button and gang up on a newbie (switch our team color just before selecting a level). Its mean but it is really funny, and we always make it up to him afterwards.

I lost my memory card and have only gotten through the first 39(minus the one where NEss battles all the foreign characters like Fox Falcon and such)

To me, event 51 wasn't the hardest. It took me a while, and there's always the jigglypuff trick, but it took me many-a-days to beat 'Soace Travellers'

We played some more today. Still tied. . . dang we good.
