I would honestly say I thought Nintendo was going to flop since I was a huge fan of smash, but melee is anythign from the truth. The game is very fast paced and the action is ridiculous. I would recomment this game to everybody.The only draw back is going on the wi-fi. I'm use to my 360 in that it seeks the best connection and goes with it. Many times while fighting the game will suddenly time out, or slow down to the point it isn't really enjoyable. Even when it isn't going slow there seems to be a lag between the different wi-fi's communicating with one another resulting in not only my character swinging (I use Link alot) into air, but everyone elses. Nice try on tryin out the wi-fi Nintendo, but there needs to be something better in place to earn that 5th golden star this game deserves.
