''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, their [[main]] being more tournament viable in ''Melee'' than in ''SSB4'' (such as with [[Falco]] and formerly [[Marth]]), or ''Smash 4'' having a lower reliance on technical skill. 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 for competitive play. As of version [[1.1.6]], it is widely agreed that ''SSB4'' has a much stronger case in its favor than ''Brawl'' did.

''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.
