What is the Melee Competitive Community?
 
crybabies who will refuse to play if they can’t use one of those 1 in every 50 controllers that has the defect that lets you do things you can’t on a normal controller.
 
I’m not letting that one go btw.

Pat from 2BFP was livid when he heard this. If Liam was still on the podcast and played Devil’s advocate, which he has a habit of doing, I’m pretty sure Pat would have assaulted him.

Even if Melee had been adapted to the Switch, which it won’t, the Community would still refuse if it does not have those broken controllers be implemented for the console.
 
All in all, this community is slowly dying and it needs to face the facts.

The problem I see with Melee HD is why would the Melee community play another game, that’s exactly the same, but with the input lag that’s bound to come from it being a game on a newer console designed for newer, slower (than CRT) TVs? It’ll make a fun few weeks playing the prettier Melee, but they’ll still go back to the version that plays better.
 
That, and another expectation of Melee HD is online play, which demands that everyone in the world has the same version, and currently American and Europe play two totally different version with different balancing. So that forces Nintendo to pick which community (which would probably be Europe) to tell that they’re playing the inferior version and to git gud with a new one. Which would then be different from their local, original Gamecube version of Melee.
 
For the tourney crowd, a Melee HD would be little more than training wheels, to practice online with input lag and possibly different balancing, before playing the real, lower input lag, Gamecube Melee. There wouldn’t be some mass migration of players, like some seem to promise would occur. People who really want a HD online Melee are already playing Dolphin Melee with HD texture packs.
 
That said, just releasing standard local Melee on Virtual Console would be fine. Way less of an investment for Nintendo, compared to releasing something that practically already exists and still isn’t played as much as the original.

Apparently this player named Armada had either been kicked out or left due to the fact that his controller was “broken” to perform better than an average controller and the Melee Comp Community is defending it and attacking everyone that ever dared to criticize it.
 
Sakurai said that it was never meant to be a seriously competitive game and the community felt that it would be best to make it one.
