Melee such as wavedashing, edge-canceling, teching, and more.
âThe core design of Smash Bros is about having fun. No one should ever be better than anyone else at the game,â Sakurai explained via translator in a streamed video. âBecause of the technical limitations of the GameCube, I have never been able to patch out all these mistakes ruining Melee and that bothered me to no end. Iâm glad we have finally conceived of a way to make the worst Smash Bros. game up to par with the newer editions!â
âFor whatever reason, Melee has maintained its popularity despite these glaring glitches,â Sakurai continued. âItâs exciting to know that fans stuck by the game even though itâs so broken and Iâm happy to report they will finally get an experience worthy of their fandom.â
According to a statement from Nintendo, countries from around the world have agreed to fully cooperate with the decision and deputized each Nintendo employee with the right to arrest anyone who resists the patch to their GameCube or Wii.
âWe have added a ton of new features to the game as well that I hope youâll enjoy,â Sakurai continued in his video, staring into camera. âFor an extra bit of fun, all charactersâ jumps will now go to random heights, with some even soaring off the screen! We finally brought back tripping, Mr. Game and Watchâs âjudgeâ attack goes to 100, and, just for fun, every 1/100 games, every character turns into Jigglypuff. Itâs going to be a blast!â
As of press time, Nintendo employees have been dispatched around the world in order to execute the Melee patch. According to Nintendoâs statement, theyâre even willing to delete anyoneâs copy of Project M from an SD card completely free of charge.
