Melee players now all play a modded version of vanilla melee which changes fundamental dash and stage mechanics, so I think it's about time we stop pretending like we are meaningfully different from the popular brawl mod which changes airdodge and landing lag mechanics

The year is 2021 - Mr. Wizard puts melee back at Evo, hoping the prize pool of a single gamecube controller pisses the community off enough for the event to tank. Someone finds out the controller has pode & good ledgedashes and it’s the most highly attended event in Evo history.

The gamecube controller is terrible. You could consider it a direct bodily risk to players who play a more technical style. I use it for as many games as possible, at every opportunity.
