I think the question is coexistence more than it is replacement. Even if a game that's effectively better at being Melee than Melee happens, a significant portion of people would still just stick with Melee because of nostalgia, familiarity, etc.
Just watch in a few years when Melee gets re-released for Wii U or whatever the Nintendo console is at that time. The cycle will continue and you will get the NOOOOO WAYYYYYY reactions and all.

If it's not a Smash game it won't matter, just like it doesn't for any other franchise. If it is a Smash game, I think people would leave Melee behind, just like with any other franchise.
Keep in mind that a lot of players did switch from Melee to Brawl... at least initially. Brawl was the bigger game for at least 2-3 years after its launch. If Brawl was even half as good as Melee was, I don't think this crazy resurgence with SSBM happens. Look at what happened with MvC3 and how most of the MvC2 players ended up moving over -- that's where the action was and it was "good enough", whereas Brawl wasn't.
SSB4 is a lead pipe lock to see a ton of action... at launch, anyway. From there, who knows -- and this could very well depend on if Sakurai/Namco decide to make any balance adjustments with the presumed DLC updates.

Enzo has it right. I love watching Melee, but I know I'll never be able to compete in it. I really enjoy Smash 3DS so far, and despite its flaws I think it's a solid game. I also consider myself halfway decent at it and would love to have it at Evo next year so I have a game I can compete in >.>
Some crazy XBL deals on WB games ATM:
Injustice Season Pass - $7.49 - 50% off
Injustice: Gods Among Us - $6.59 - 67% off
Mortal Kombat vs. DCU - $4.99 - 75% off
Mortal Kombat Season Pass - $4.94 - 67% off
Mortal Kombat - $5.99 - 70% off
Injustice Season Pass - $7.49 - 50% off
Injustice: Gods Among Us - $6.59 - 67% off
Mortal Kombat vs. DCU - $4.99 - 75% off
Mortal Kombat Season Pass - $4.94 - 67% off
Mortal Kombat - $5.99 - 70% off
I'm saying this all in the context that it's a Smash game. I think Smash [Melee] really is a unique case. Hard to apply any trends to that game in general, it's already surmounted trial-by-sequel. The longevity is unreal.

GGXrd Demo details should be going up sometime today.
MK deal is good as it's less than most copies of Komplete Edition you'll find but Injustice is only good if you only want the base game. Season Pass is 7.50 but you still need 10 for MMH/Zatanna and you're getting no costumes for a total of $23 but Amazon has Ultimate Edition new for $20.
Oh, God yes.

If anyone is interested in watching, I uploaded the footage of the UMVC3 Online tournament I had last week if anyone wants to check it out at all here, its in four different videos(link is to a playlist with all the videos): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86iMe4wc2W0&list=PLMAef1EdVNmToiT92xvhD4LyynGO2GUsc

Is Vs. DC worth it for five bucks or was it just that bad?
MK vs DC? its busted as shit. Two characters that are like S+++ tier and the rest just suck.
It's hilariously bad. It's worth the $5 if you've got some people to goof around with.

copy and paste famitsu links
Famitsu has a new interview up with Ono which goes over Darkstalkers (Resurrection didn't sell what they wanted), SFxT (Thinking he would like to do one more patch if they could get the budget approved), stuff about F2P and iOS, little talk about other fighters out there. There is also some stuff form what appears to be the newly approved casino business in Japan.
There will be another interview and it looks like it will touch on Rival Schools.

Another interview dedicated to JUST rival schools?
I still have pristine unopened copies of Project Justice and Rival Schools so I'm fucking ready to go for a third one
Man, I feel bad for what I had to put Google Translate through with this. Super rough, but I don't think there's much of note here, besides some skepticism of the F2P model.
Oh christ those meaty CLAPS.
There's something charming about how jank everything is. I love every part of it.
Why not make assets for both and stagger their releases? :O

No more SF4, I still love the game but please, let Capcom invest the money in something else. Its getting really stale on their end.
Something about Marth feels all wrong. I have no idea why Lucina feels better to me though.
Her damage is evened out- Marth's varies depending on what part of the sword hits.
Marth is just annoying to use on the 3DS right now : /

Does hitting a grounded opponent with her forward air(or whichever one i was) leave you at disadvantage like with Marth?
It honestly feels alien playing so many other characters and neglecting Marth in a Smash game for this long so far. At the same time, I miss fast fall uair enough that I'll put any further development of the character on hold for now.
Has anyone gotten good doing those new dashdancing and ground techniques yet? I want to see what the full implications of them are but I'm so ass at handling the 3DS.
Minato add me on 3DS man!
I can do them but I don't use Marth outside of Melee. (Switched to Lucas in Brawl/Project M) I use Ness, Robin, and Little Mac in Smash 4.
You need to add me btw (and the rest of you guys too!)

PM me please if you added me.
It's kind of the same. I've learn to just keep spacing it. If they're at low percent, I'll never do a landing fair just because it's suicidal. Rising fair until I rack up percent, then just space the rest.
Oh right. I'll send a PM with my code in case you don't see this.
Any idea where the details will be posted?

Whenever I watch PM there is something off about it. Dunno if it's the fall speeds. Maybe the overall character designs. They feel unnatural in some way.
Still haven't watched the whole top8 cause Smash takes forever but I'm halfway through it and it's been insanely good.

But habits are so hard to break.
It is
But I'm getting more comfortable with Marth and Lucina and they don't feel as bad as I thought (but they're not amazing either). Forward tilt, Up Smash out of shield, and going way off/below stage to edge guard is really helping. I still have issues against anyone that's a big body opponent though. I feel like they're comfortable with taking the risk for a good reward at the moment, so they're likely going to mash whatever at times.Professor Beef

Some of these custom moves...

Their official site maybe? I'm not sure but that information will make its way here when it's out.

Well they ported 4 characters across. That's enough really.
Will have to give that a read.
Because Melee is one of those game where the developer really outdid themselves and the community showcased the potential. (See MvC2)
If Chipp is in it, I demand a PM on GAF from you about it immediately.
