Very pleased to have Melee reach top 16. It, along with fellow Top 16 member Team Fortress 2 are my two favorite multiplayer games of all time, but if I pitted them against each other, Melee would win. It is a masterpiece. I don't expect it to move on from here, but I still love you, Melee.

Hmmm, tough choice but I had to go with Melee here for the hours of childhood entertainment. Not my favourite Smash, but the mechanics are still solid and I loved all the different modes the game had. I played Classic, Adventure and All-Star sooo many times.

A Link to the Past I played later, and enjoyed. My take was that it was a good Zelda game, especially for exploration. But I also felt it was a step back compared to the 3D Zelda's, and I'd rather replay A Link Between Worlds than ALTTP.

Go home Melee you're drunk.

Videos of pros playing Melee has given me more enjoyment than playing ALttP ever did.

I voted for Melee, but there really is no loser here. LTTP is the best Zelda game ever.
