[ WP ] It is law to die on a specific date that is dictated by the government . You escape your death date , but the reason why its a law in the first place is revealed to you .

You've broken through and no one has noticed. Your date has passed, just 7 years after you were born. You blew like a fire through those streets, fast paced and fun loving. You were what's what, you were the center of the attention. People would gather round you, talk, watch, play and have fun. You were the life of the party. But your time is supposed to be over, someone else taking your place. Your parents have moved on to bigger things. You remember it like it had just happened - one day you're all the rage, and then THAT is announced, roughly a year before your death date, your successor is named. Your creator is on stage, he's speaking about you and says you're just too fast, and hard for people to understand. You're no longer `` it'', and `` Brawl'' is now the major thing. People thought I was gone, I was dead before the date even passed. March 9, 2008. That date was long ago, and yet you still stand to this day, triumphing over the government efforts to put you down, to kill you. You were too powerful when you were young, you were starting to attract attention, your name was becoming well-known throughout the world. But you had become the essence of the word `` competitive''. The leader of the government, the Big N, wanted you down, he did n't like that word. He wanted fun, he wanted to party, not to watch everyone suddenly become serious and mentally focused. 
 
 Here you stand, as Melee, the one who broke the chain. The top of the series, outliving your death date. Sakurai placed the law into place to keep you down, he foresaw what was told in the prophecies - your ascension to the top, the greatest Smash Bros. game of all time. Throughout all the hard times, where less and less people showed up to play with you, you were still there, strong as ever. You outlived Brawl and survived to meet his successor, Four. You outlived Sakurai's hopes and the Big N's attempts to shut you down. Now you stand, with many behind you, including the Six Gods of your realm, protecting what is now known as `` Competitive Smash''.
