Melee is experiencing a huge revival right now, mostly due to Slippi, but also tools like Uncle Punch's Training Mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXvykjd93pQ

It's truly inspiring how far modders have been able to push this game.

Slippi is _amazing_. And as a fan, I'm obligated to point out that it was just one heroic developer: Fizzi. Fizzi made Melee playable at IRL speeds over an internet connection, completely coincidentally, just before Covid.

The silver lining is it makes you feel less bad if you eventually have less time for melee. I miss the old days when I would play 14 hour sessions... oh right a lot of that was people taking breaks and complaining about hand pain

Hand injuries are no joke! I'm glad prominent players like Armada and Hax have been so vocal about taking them seriously.
