I've played on Melee before, but only very briefly, and also a long time ago.

Not sure what to think. Here are some thoughts I've had about it.

- Beating enemies is surprisingly tough. I thought it would've be too hard to knock them down off the bottom of the screen, but I didn't really realise that the characters have mid-air jumps, which make this task a lot, lot harder.

- Jumping by pressing up on the left analogue stick is...strange. I assumed you just pressed a button, but I guess not.

- I'm annoyed that I played for a while on Classic Mode, and beat it as 2 different characters, and yet haven't unlocked anyone new. I mean, there are meant to be something like 70 characters, but I'm still stuck with the first 8.

- Graphics are excellent, proper 9th gen graphics, which is very welcome. Most Switch games I've played look a bit unimpressive, so this is a really good thing.

- The combat arenas seem pretty interesting, much better than most fighting games series. Multi-tiered, slopes, places to fall off, and various crazy stuff happening. Plus, plenty of interesting nods to series I like. I must be the only person who's glad there's a Pac-Land level.

- The menus are sometimes confusing. I spent about 10 minutes trying to begin playing the tournament mode, but couldn't actually get it to start. This was disappointing.

Well, that's my basic opinion. Of course, you would probably have to play the series for hours to really get a feel for it, and I expect it takes 100s or hours to become an expert or master. Overall, pretty underwhelmed. I know people say it's stupid to buy for just single-player, but it should be fun anyway. What do you think about what I've said?
