So far, the response to Slippi has been overwhelmingly positive, with EVO 2018 champion William “Leffen” Hjelte releasing a video showing how it works, demonstrating with a match that was played between Sweden, where he's based, and the West Coast of the United States.So some of you may be new to Melee.

Most important of all, though, is a rollback netcode, something that is considered vital for online competitive play. In simple terms, a rollback netcode provides a much smoother experience and ultimately makes matches "fairer" as it cuts down on delays.

The fan-made feature, titled Slippi, is massively superior in comparison, as it offers matchmaking, automatic replay saving, and tools for tournament organizers, such as stat tracking. Technically, the game has always had online multiplayer, but what Dolphin offers is less than ideal. Obviously, this doesn't apply to the actual physical GameCube release, but has been designed for Dolphin, a GameCube emulator.

Though Melee tournaments remain incredibly popular, the current COVID-19 pandemic has made it near impossible for such tournaments to be held, but a group of fans have now implemented something that the game has been missing for its entire life - online play.
