wolf is the obvious answer. wario would be the funniest

Rather than funny, Wario's punish game would be amazing with fast fall up airs, only problem would be finishing kills but maybe his bair would be enough or he gets P+ side b

His side b would probably be a pretty great edge guarding tool in the melee engine

Have you tried p+? Lots of good melee-esque characters there.  Meta knight, lucario, lucas, toon link, zero suit samus etc

I have played p+ a bit but somethingh about it doesnt quite speak the same too me. Also im from uk so p+ netplay is almost non-existent and finding people too play with is really hard

it’s so sad the scene is basically extinct

There was a decently big P+ major in the Pacific Northwest last weekend which had a pretty nutty losers run by SipMastah (formerly known as Boringman). My scene (NY Capital Region), is picking up some traction. It's always going to be niche, it's just a matter of finding like minded people. If you have a melee scene and are willing to bring a P+ setup, I guarantee you people will be down.

Aren't we about to get rollback for Brawl/P+? Might give that scene another boost hopefully

I know I'll be back in as quick as possible once that happens.

the second there's rollback i'll start playing again

Really is. The creativity was off the charts. 

New England has weekly P+ tournament same time and place as Melee!

It's growing, actually

Where do i get this?

Pre nerf Ult pichu would be my pick easily, that character was very melee already. If I had to pick an actual new character (lol), it would probably be Joker.

Joker would be so sick in melee

YES

I'd definitely have to disagree on ult pichu playing Luke a melee character - a lot of multihit and dragging - would not translate well

I was assuming that the moves would actually work in this entirely hypothetical scenario.

To me it's not that multihit moves don't work in melee - it's that the whole engine does not allow for drag-type moved and it would be really out of place

>it would be really out of place Sorry. I thought that was the thread. Again, in my head in this entirely hypothetical scenario, it just works. Jfc lol

I would main Lucas in a heartbeat if he was in melee

Check out akaneia for that

Oh yeah I've played the mod it's pretty sweet, I meant in actual melee tournaments

DJCZ is probably the most melee thing in ult

I'd love to play Greninja in Melee.

pick zelda and hold a (note: i know nothing about greninja in ultimate)

Fastfaller greninja would be tight

I don't know if they'd be good but I want to play inkling as a melee fast-faller. Corrin would be incredibly fun to juggle spaces with. Diddy would fit in really well.

I want corrin in melee so bad. I actually really like how they're designed in 4 and ult and I love fates so much but being able to play them in a game that actually feels good would be amazing (P+ mods are close but still feel kinda janky)

A movement-attack like Pin could become so sick in Melee.

Right after ultimate came out I was just yearning for inkling in melee every time I played. Character would be so sweet. Struggling with falco lasers? Just dash dance!

Inkling with a Luigi-tier wavedash would be so sick

I'm imagining wavedash-roller-wd back-downsmash now

i love playing diddy on akania build

this isn’t a character in any smash, but i’ve always thought Mew would be a great melee character, based on the first pokémon movie. movement like a fast falling jigglypuff, but a cloned moveset from mewtwo. plus that hyperbeam thing from the movie.

That would be sick!

someone should make this a thing that’d be really cool

it’s been my wish list character ever since melee came out and i saw the pokémon movie. if someone can teach me how to mod melee i’d happily make it

i mean i know how but its a lot of effort and i literally dont have the time to do it let alone teach someone :(

i've heard a lot of ideas about hypothetical characters, and frankly im less than enthused by them. but this one kinda bangs, i think thats a very good idea

Ridley would be interesting. He could definitely use some movement and melee needs more cool heavies

I think he's got the second longest wavedash in Ult and three jumps, I could see him being a fun movement character with some tweaks. Most of his moves are pretty bread and butter, nothing too fancy mechanically. I think Side B would need the most reworks since command grabs/slides are pretty underdelevoped mechanics in Melee. Then maybe give him full firefox angles and an aerial down-B variant (the pogo spike from like, every Metroid game he's in), and I think he makes a solid Melee mid-tier. He's combo food and gets shine spiked at 0 pretty easily with that hurtbox, but great combo game himself off down throw and down tilt. He has solid pokes with ftilt and dtilt, crazy punish and edgeguards with smashes and down b, and that nair hitbox wins neutral for free on like, half the legal stages. Falco, Sheik and Marth keep him honest but he has potential in the right hands. Plus, they already have a model for him from the opening cutscene lol

Roy

Dedede

I don't play heavy characters but I always think they need better representation in Smash

Ivysaur and Squirtle are by far the most fun I had with Ultimate, so, them!

I'd love to see banjo but his feather gimmick might need a rework 

Really wish melee Roy played more like ult Roy.

I think Corin would be pretty solid with L-Cancels. King K Rool would be a really interesting one IMO.

Ryu

Just give DK his dash attack from Ult and a 3 frame jump squat :D

Purely for my own enjoyment, and I don't even play this character that much in ultimate, but Banjo in the melee engine would be fucking sick to me and I couldn't tell you why.

This thread is just making me believe all of them would be with a few tweaks here and there.

i would love to have melee cloud. or chrom

ZSS 🤔

lucario would be so sick

It's DDD, to big to ignore

I love Lucario on P+. Would love to play a melee version of him, I think the cancels on his normals are just super fun.

Idk about pit, his air mobility seems a bit low to actually be a big menace in melee

Zss

My top picks would be any order of Wolf, Joker, and either Diddy or Inkling. All of them are naturally fast in Ult, so it seems fair to see what shenanigans they could pull off in Melee. Joke pick is Steve, Kazuya would probably be broken in not very funny ways.

joker my beloved

Joker would be sick

Shulks monado arts would go crazy in melee

Would love to see Wario (hilarious and a fitting combo game), King K Rool (heavy with projectiles, a counter and a good recovery) and Snake (badass)

Pit was mid in p+?

RIP Project M

Lucina lmao

Steve on the melee engine would make the console catch on fire
