'''Super Smash Bros. Melee''' is the sequel to [[Super Smash Bros.]] and was released for [[Nintendo]] [[GameCube]]. It is a fighting game with many Nintendo characters and stages. SSBM mainly focuses on multiplayer modes but has several single player modes. SSBM has become the best selling game for GameCube which makes it extremely populer.
'''Super Smash Bros. Melee''' (Japanese: {{ja|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 combo]]s.  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.

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 [[Tournament Go|TG]] series. Recently, the tournament scene has been bolstered by grand-scale tournaments such as the [[Major League Gaming|MLG]] series.


The community has constructed a set of [[tournament legal (SSBM)|standard tournament rules]] to regulate tournament play.
