Super Smash Bros. Melee (Japanese: 大乱闘 スマッシュ ブラザーズDX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Derakkusu, Great Fray Smash Brothers Deluxe, often known as "SSBM" or "Melee") is a 2-D fighting game for the Nintendo Gamecube. It was released in late 2001 in America and Japan, shortly after Gamecube's launch, and early 2002 in Europe.

Like Super Smash Bros., its predecessor, Melee features gameplay unique from that of other fighting games. Compared to characters in other fighting games, Melee characters have simple movesets, lack complicated button inputs and lengthy natural combos. In contrast, however, Melee greatly emphasizes movement and ringouts. Indeed, edge-guarding in Melee takes on much more significance than it does in most other games due to copious mid-air jumps and other methods of reaching the edge unfettered.

Tournament play

SSBM is widely known for its large and intricate tournament scene, which is the second largest video game tournament community in the world (Behind Halo 2 for the XBox). The generally accepted birth of the tournament scene was caused by the creation of the TG series. Recently, the tournament scene has been bolstered by grand-scale tournaments such as the MLG series.

The community has constructed a set of standard tournament rules to regulate tournament play. All matches are played with timed stock (usually four lives and eight minutes), with items turned off and restrictions on legal stages. These regulations are enacted to ensure that gameplay at the highest level remains fair and interesting.
