Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should.
New mod for Super Smash Bros. Melee dares to ask a question that few could even think of – what if Melee was a tag fighter?
There are many ambitious fighting game mod projects out there, but it's exceptionally rare to see one this ambitious, it's basically creating a whole new subgenre, because as far as I know, nobody has tried to make a platform tag fighter before.
It's not some proof of concept or prototype either, that's a full on mod that adds all the traditional tag fighter staples, like assists, point/anchor designation, different tag types, and way more.
You can play this right now if you get to mod from Github and just follow the instructions.
