''Smash 4'' has had little impact on ''Melee''{{'}}s tournament scene, as it is not uncommon for both games to be featured at tournaments simultaneously. Most already established '' Melee'' players have chosen to stay with the ''Melee'' community over ''Smash 4'' due to several factors; they include the physics of ''Smash 4'' being more similar to the controversial ''Brawl'' game engine, or their [[main]] being more tournament viable. | ''Smash 4'' has had little impact on ''Melee''{{'}}s tournament scene, as it is not uncommon for both games to be featured at tournaments simultaneously.

Overall, both games attract large numbers of players and spectators, and much like ''Brawl'' before it, there is significant debate in the community on whether ''Melee'' or ''Smash 4'' is preferable. However, it is often agreed that ''SSB4'' has a much stronger case in its favor than ''Brawl'' did. One example is with regards to [[character balance]]; in contrast to the infamously unbalanced ''Brawl'' and to a far lesser extent ''Melee'', ''SSB4''[='s=] balance patches have allowed unbalanced character matchups and attributes to be corrected throughout the game's lifetime, resulting in a very large range of viable characters (including traditionally poor characters such as {{SSB4|Bowser}} and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}). | ||
''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive scene has largely tapered off and moved onto ''Smash 4'' since it was released. Almost all of its high level players, examples being {{Sm|Salem}} or {{Sm|ESAM}}, primarily played it because it was simply the latest installment in the series after ''Melee'' and was therefore their personal preference. | ''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive scene has largely tapered off and moved onto ''Smash 4'' since it was released.
