\"Tribute<\/a><\/figure>\n

If there’s one classic Nintendo game a lot of people are still playing on a regular basis, it’s the 2001 title Super Smash Bros. Melee<\/a><\/strong> on the GameCube.

It starts today and will run until 6th January, and will only<\/em> include fighters, stages, and items from the GameCube release. Here’s the ruleset:<\/p>\n
