    I honestly only play beyond melee a ton because it has something that the hardcore sonic fan in me loves, giving sonic a moveset that isn't just him being in ball form like the official smash games.
    Like giving him his boost and the dropdash as specials, while also having great references in his nair being one of the tricks in the advance series, and up air being the adventure pose as a kick.
    it all feels so much better than sonic's actual representation in smash

    10:28 Yo, they gave Sonic his Sonic Adventure pose as part of his up air! From the brief animation I saw of Sonic in this video, I already feel like he's a bit better than normal Smash sonic when it comes to style. From the poses and the motion blur on his attacks, this feels more like Sonic to me. Brawl's version was pretty good, but he just got less and less expressive over time. Sonic got done dirty.

    I feel like the Wii was just begging to be hacked, so it makes sense that Project M exploded on the scene and became super popular. This on the other hand is probably because of the outbreak which then forced people to play on computer ports and netplay. Ever since Slippy, melee found its spark once again and because of that, melee modding was back in play. Because of people playing on a PC port of it with great netcode, maybe it was easier to get the files of melee to then add things or retexture old things.

    I always wanted Raichu in Melee. When I first played that game over a decade ago, the rumor going around was that Raichu was an unlockable character, but you had to beat All-Star mode on the hardest difficulty with Pichu. And I always wished that Raichu had been in the game, just with a different moveset.

      BM devs said that there had been enough attempts/other mods with Krystal, and they wanted to be able to go for something new without being held to the ideas that came before with a character like Krystal. I think this was a brilliant move for them.

    I really like Akaneia, but I feel like Beyond Melee is too much. I feel like there's a cool middle ground where the vanilla stuff is only slightly changed (fixing characters' bad hitboxes, shields, etc. or bad stage collision, namely battlefield), but still adding new characters and modes and stuff. Idk if Akaneia would consider something like that, but consider myself in favor of it.

    Since Flare Blitz didn’t exist in Gen 2, I’d say that side B is much more of a unique take on Fire Spin, especially since that’s Charizard’s final move learned through level up in Crystal.

You can even play as the polygons, Giga Bowser, and both Hands. It's a really old mod too

    The mods do seem pretty great, especially Akaneia Build. The only mods I've done on Melee are just using codes on my Wii with Homebrew. Like widescreen, swap Pikachu's character select icon back to Luigi's spot, better Pichu, and restore the unused character select screen "clone" characters animation. Some mods I want are basically expanding Melee without changing too much and porting some features from 64. Any recommendations if I'm able to load them on my Wii / Wii U?

    My gripe about beyond Melee is Sonic's character model. It just looks like they ripped it straight from Brawl and retextured it (and Brawl Sonic's design is based on his appearance in Sonic 06, which released 5 years after Melee).
    If Sonic were to be in Melee, I would see him in his design based on his appearance in Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, since that was his most recent design at the time Melee first released.

    finishing zelda and game and watch's movesets or having an option to turn character balance on or off on individual characters would be interesting too, to merge the games

    Sonic in Melee goes as far back as 2002 when Electronic Gaming Monthly did their annual April Fools joke, when they said that Sonic is in Smash Bros Melee and all players had to do to unlock him was by getting 20 KOs in Cruel Melee. Obviously, it was a joke, but EGM later ran a contest where if players submitted videos of them getting 20 KOs in Cruel Melee, they would receive a copy of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the GameCube

    MODS THAT ALSO DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION
    Melee 1.03 - Try this. This build is competitively focused and provides new controller fixes and (maybe most impressively) a LATENCY REDUCTION toggle for making almost ANY LCD run as fast as a CRT! There is a CRT mode, LCD, and FAST, which is experimental/for the worst of TVs only.(Otherwise it's too fast)
    Also Slippi compatible!!
    20XX - This was the crown standard for all Melee mods for a long time, and implemented the UCF that's universally accepted today. There's a newer version out now, 5.0!!
    UnclePunch's Training Mode - This was in the video, but I'm not sure if the name was mentioned.
    Happy Melee everybody.
