[@pigeonmilk8476]

Literally nothing seems out of place or forced, brilliantly made trailer for a brilliantly made build. Hell yeah brother

[@GSEleven]

I completely agree.

[@GaffsNotLaffs]

Only place I disagree is I think dedicating a whole minute to a character they added a year ago was a bit much Other than that, great work

[@ghosthuntermike2592]

Flare blitz wasn't a move in Gen 2 if I remember correctly

[@RTU130]

Ye

[@Eichro]

Man, these characters look extremely professional. Like, they wouldn't feel out of place in base game.

[@htwa]

If you look closely you’ll notice that fox and wolf were debating the legality of box controllers

[@Pslamist]

Poggerga

[@epikhllo9767]

But they are content with goomwave

[@Pslamist]

@@epikhllo9767 - Wolf was actually making a pretty good case for standardizing Melee V1.03 to balance the advantages of all controllers on a software level, rather than it being reserved to the few that can buy a Goomwave motherboard, but they always perceive him as the bad guy these days.

[@partlyblue]

@@Pslamist I mean, Wolf did make a 2 hour long video about why Fox is "literally Hitler", and then doubled down, twice. Personally don't hate the guy, but I find it hard to be as receptive to him as I once was.

[@queuedjar4578]

@@partlyblue #WolfWasRight though.

[@ShankMods]

You guys are killing it. Everything looks so professional and polished. This is by far the best Melee modpack out there, and the best Smash Bros modpack since Project M. Keep it up guys, it's amazing!

[@appleormac]

I agree with everything you said. Akaneia feels like when PM was coming into fruition.

[@WilfredCthulu]

You should see Smash Remix. It's basically this but 64.

[@efisiospiga6540]

When Akaneia first came out I knew that Melee's modding scene would have had an era comparable to Brawl's one, and I'm glad I was right. Great job!

[@Eldoofus]

except it's so vanilla I just can't help it but to love it.

[@davidvkimball]

Presentation is just superb. Can't wait to try it!

[@StarForceBelmont321]

The man the myth the legend himself! Nice to see you again David!

[@dankomusto]

The fact they added 3 characters in a year is insane. Everything is so polished. I love the new skins. Here’s to Sonic and Wario!

[@zacharybrown3010]

it's "Here's to Sonic" unless you were going for some pun I don't understand

[@squallleonhart9387]

I hope Sonic is hella fun and cool to play, envisioning him in Melee.

[@dankomusto]

@@orydos me neither

[@cjkmelee]

dear god please no, and no ROB either

[@newchallengers9420]

I have a sonic on my channel but I'm still editing the moves. But the link is there to play him

[@Kosmicd12]

Sick stuff :0 thank you

[@ConnorRentz]

Happily edited this video! Love working with this team. :)

[@davidvkimball]

Great job dude!

[@ConnorRentz]

@@davidvkimball Thank you!!

[@Pslamist]

Let's go Connor!!

[@backlashD]

This awesome. Wolf is based on the spacies. But Diddy and Charizard are both completely unique move sets, and looks great! The peanuts, the command grab, the banana, all look complexly functional. That's impressive.

[@dylansmith5206]

In addition to Diddy I still hope that they think to add these DK character's- King K Rool Dixie Kong Funky Kong Stanley The Bugman From the 80's DK Arcade Games Ect.......

[@N1C0707]

This really feels like Melee DLC. Awesome

[@___8241]

This brings me back to the Project M days. Amazing to see how far Melee modding is coming.

[@ManWithFace]

The project M days are still going on though

[@Eldoofus]

@@ManWithFace He means the 'golden era'

[@RoseSupreme]

Diddy, Charizard and Wolf look so believable here! Brilliant job!

Speaking of Diddy I still hope that they think to add these DK character's- King K Rool Dixie Kong Funky Kong Stanley The Bugman From the 80's DK Arcade Games Ect.......

@@dylansmith5206 Never gonna happen.

[@insertidentifierhere2001]

Good to see this project is still alive

[@squallleonhart9387]

This truly is a Christmas Gift, thank you so much and Merry Christmas Akaneia Team!

[@WilfredCthulu]

I thought this was already dead with Beyond Melee being the successor. Nice to see it's still up since this feels more like the Smash Remix of Melee than that. Seeing Diddy just straight up in this is unreal. I also remember as a kid I had a dream where Charizard was playable in Melee so that's also just wow. Now when will we get the Akaneia stage lol?

[@minelast9786]

Wait, what it's "beyond melee"?

[@WilfredCthulu]

Just look it up.

[@minelast9786]

@@WilfredCthulu already did it before you comment it

[@dylansmith5206]

Speaking of Beyond Melee I still hope that Skull Kid gets added to the mod as a playable character

[@jed9902]

was really hoping for another update this Christmas as well :(

[@brianodonnell4496]

Christmas 2023?

[@shyguytwopoint0]

You guys hit it out of the park with this one! This looks incredible, I'll definitely be trying it out tonight!

[@gabrielmartincancerbossexp2683]

I Can’t Wait To See More Bonus Characters In This Super Smash Bros Melee: The Akaneia Build It’s Been 2 Years

[@SquirtleEx]

This is so amazing. Seriously. You guys are the best!

[@tehPlacebow]

Cant wait to see what you guys are gonna do next! I have a feeling this build will only get better and better.

[@ManWithFace]

This is such a cool promo for Project M/Project+!

[@newchallengers9420]

Lol

[@yobobby9]

The characters in melee feel so much better. P+ has mad input lag and buffer and some characters are so weirdly made, doesnt feel official like Lucario

[@abercr0mb1e55]

Cool trailers! This makes me really hyped for future realeases. Hope you could try to bring banjo over. Banjo in melee would be a dream come true

[@Farkonso]

YALL MAKE ALL THE RIGHT CHOICES. SUCH A GOOD JOB THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS

[@b2j135]

you have no fucking idea how HARD I was screaming for it to be Charizard and then I HEARD THE FLARE BLITZ SOUND?!?! MMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this lol, I'm downloading it right now!!!!

[@NormalPunch-]

This looks Awesome. Great work!

[@BubbaWatts98]

so nicely done, your work is appreciated!

[@EVILB1TCH9]

Beautiful work! I’ve never been the biggest fan of melee but if this gets more accessibility features like tap jump toggle I can see this being the PM I never got to experience. Thank you! 💖

[@queuedjar4578]

You might want to look into Melee 1.03, has tap jump and some other neat accessibility features.

[@calebrobinson6406]

Amazing work!

[@thepsyshyster8243]

Very cool! Happy holidays to the team!

[@RyanMarcel_]

Best. christmas. gift. ever. Thank you so much Team Akaneia

Seems more like Hot Potato, but it seems super fun for sure.

[@thebigr3486]

Conocí este proyecto hace poco, y se nota la cantidad de trabajo invertido por parte de todo el equipo, me encantaría ver pronto más avances de este mod y espero de todo corazón que todo vaya bien para ustedes

Very fresh ! Love it 😍 well done to all involved 👏🏻

[@ninjapanda1018]

You guys did an awesome job on this trailer

[@ElevenZM]

Truly an amazing feat for Melee. Akaneia doing what Nintendon't.

[@MrGameguyC]

Noice! You can tell it's the Brawl animations. But still, the models fit Melee's art direction. The new modes are really cool. All-Star gives more options and the tag one is cute. Looking forward to it!

[@jugohayashi2389]

Very awesome Christmas gift :)

sick stuff im glad the Turbo mode was implemented "the right way" (unlike Tr4sh/Ultimate). i cant wait to see some TASes featuring this mod

[@Novorious]

You guys are really pushing the limit to the top. Masterfully done. I bet the next three might be Wario, Meta Knight, or possibly R.O.B... Either way, keep the work up golds!

[@davidclaxton3674]

Looks fantastic. Now if only I knew how to set this up.

You really put the boy Charizard in Melee. I am now a fan boy.

[@Urist_Mythrilforged]

Amazing.

[@lookatmeize]

Please for the love of GOD Nintendo, don't send a cease and desist on this. This may be the best, most honest to source material mod I've ever seen. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Hibernial]

Considering Nintendo has made bridges with the competitive community for officially backing a Melee/Ultimate tourney...well, fingers crossed. And Nintendo's already got a mountain of bad press and feedback from their NSO 64 expansion, so maybe there's some potential good in making considerations to not push people's disappointment too far.

[@2014saints]

The funny thing is Nintendo could have released something like this but 10x bigger and better if they wanted to. They have the resources. But unfortunately they hate Melee with a burning passion. It's amazing to me what fans are capable of doing when Nintendon't

[@eramos8916]

@@2014saints no it's because smash ultimate is the current and complete smash, why back peddle when they pieced together smash ultimate.

[@2014saints]

@@eramos8916 That's like asking why re-release Ocarina of Time for the 7th time when BotW2 is about to come out? Just like Ultimate and Melee, both games provide a very different experience. And Nintendo has demonstrated no reluctance to preying on their customers' nostalgia.

[@takodacorliss5838]

Holy shit! All these characters feel exactly like how they would be in Melee officially. Now I’m extremely curious on how you’d handle a Character created After Melee was released, like Byleth or Inkling. Great work everyone!

[@yobobby9]

I hope they dont add changes like Inkling, Villager and stuff because it would feel so cursed. Literally the main reason why I dont like smash remix the 64 mod, when they put lucas n stuff

[@32xios69]

@@yobobby9 I can see why you wouldn't like that since Lucas didn't exist in the N64 era but Roy was added into Melee before his actual game even came out.

[@vard1865]

@@yobobby9 My man think he's time travelling ☠️☠️☠️

[@takodacorliss5838]

@@yobobby9 I dislike Remix Lucas, but love Remix Dark Samus because of the thing Lucas didn’t get. Dark Samus was altered in Smash Remix to feel like how she would’ve been in Super Metroid, while Lucas, despite being easier to age than Dark Samus thanks to the Brawl Mod Smash 2, wasn’t aged at all and felt kinda lazy after Dark Samus was handled so well. I think an altered Robin or Inkling could be incredibly interesting to see what direction they’d take a character who wasn’t even conceived of until 2010 at the earliest. What conceptual changes would’ve been made to make these two fit in better with Melee’s Aesthetic and Era. I love that type of stuff, and I like when characters get altered to fit their settings a lot better.
