The game also introduced many of the staples of its sequel, Super Smash Bros. In addition to highly refining the gameplay of Super Smash Bros., Melee also sports additional stages and characters, and an expanded single player mode, called 'Adventure Mode'.
Melee can be accessed via one-button presses and a joystick direction. Unlike other games of the same genre, in which moves are entered by button-input combinations, most moves in Super Smash Bros. Instead, opposing players must inflict damage to add to the opponents percentage, to make them lighter, then force their opponents beyond the boundaries of the stage.
Melee differs from traditional fighting games in that inflicting the most damage does not guarantee victory. Melee, known in Japan as Great Melee Smash Brothers Deluxe ( 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Derakkusu), often abbreviated as SSBM or simply as Melee, is a crossover fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube shortly after its launch in 2001.
