Super Smash Brothers Melee recently celebrated its 15th anniversary.In many aspects, the longevity of the game offers a unique competitive landscape. In late 2001, Nintendo released the NTSC version of the game to Japanese and North American markets. The European market received the PAL version of Super Smash Bros. Melee nearly six months later, in 2002. In the meantime, Nintendo implemented balance changes for some of the characters. For example, the PAL version removed Sheiks chain throw on several characters. Ken combos rarely happened because of a players ability to meteor cancel Marths down-air.More importantly, while Jigglypuff remained untouched in the PAL updates, Fox received several soft nerfs to his recovery, damage output and knockback.The core mechanics of Melee remained largely the same between the two versions, but the balance updates in PAL could make a world of difference at DreamHack Winter, hosted in Elmia, Jonkoping, Sweden. Traditionally, most majors in the U.S. run the NTSC version of Melee, but DreamHack Winter will run the PAL version of the game.In 2016, the Fox and Jigglypuff matchup became one of the most scrutinized duels among the top players. Juan Hungrybox Debiedma worked with his coach, Luis Crunch Rosias, to optimize the matchup for Jigglypuff while Fox players like Adam Armada Lindgren and Zachary SFAT Cordoni continued to develop anti-Jigglypuff gameplans. The results have gone back and forth; Hungrybox looked unstoppable in the first half of 2016, winning major after major, including Evo 2016, but the Fox-mains have had his number in the past few months. Hungrybox lost to SFAT at The Big House 6 and Shine 2016, and he was defeated by Armada at Canada Cup 2016 and Smash Summit 3.Still, theres plenty to look forward to for Hungrybox, who recently quit his job to pursue Melee full-time. After some relatively poor performances in the past three months, he finished in second at Smash Summit 3 and looks forward to competing at DreamHack Winter 2016, with his chances of winning increasing since DreamHack Winter is running the PAL version of Melee.While Hungrybox looks forward to better matchups in PAL, Armada looks forward to winning a major in his hometown of Gothenburg in front of his family and friends. The momentum seems to be in his favor after winning Canada Cup and Smash Summit 3.Of course, we cant forget about William Leffen Hjelte or Joseph Mango Marquez who are also contenders for this event. Will any of them be able to overcome Foxs nerfs in PAL? Or will Hungrybox be able to win DreamHack: Winter and build his case as best player of 2016?

TORONTO -- Pavel Datsyuks North American magic show had one final act.Months after deciding to leave the NHL and go home to Russia, the Detroit Red Wings great showed off his fanciful skillset one last time on this side of the ocean at the World Cup of Hockey. A lower-body injury may have cut his tournament short but not before another remarkable performance against players 15 to 20 years younger.Datsyuks legs arent what they used to be at age 38, but he was a difference maker killing penalties and keeping up with the pace of a lightning-fast end-to-end victory against Team North America that helped Russia advance. He missed Russias round-robin finale Thursday against Finland and was scratched again from the lineup Saturday night against Canada.Datsyuk left a lasting memory on the NHL, especially to his peers who appreciate his play the most from watching him up close.Oh, hes unbelievable, said Russian star Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins. You do not see much what he (can) do because hes so professional. Hes (the) most professional Ive ever seen.Datsyuk had 314 goals and 604 assists in 953 games for the Red Wings over 14 seasons. But his play with the puck is more memorable than the points he scored with it, so much so that Apples virtual assistant, Siri, used to recognize Datsyuk as the magic man.Mike Babcock, who coached Datsyuk in Detroit before joining the Toronto Maple Leafs, said the Russian was a pleasure to be around and someone he learned a lot from. Babcock, whos coaching Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews with Canada for a third time, knows Datsyuk wasnt as prodigious as those stars who were elite as teenagers but said he made a major impact when he entered the NHL at age 21.His span, I dont know how many years it was, in my opinion he was the best forward in hockey in that time, Babcock said Thursday. Lots of people would say somebody else scored more points. He was the best player in hockey up front for a period of time with and without the puck.Datsyuk made it look as if he had the puck on a string and waas among the best at knocking it away from opponents.ddddddddddddFour times he won the Lady Byng Trophy awarded to the player who exemplifies sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of ability.That standard hasnt faded. Russia coach Oleg Znarok said in Datsyuks case, age doesnt matter.He is responsible for a lot of roles on our team like penalty kill, he said through an interpreter. Definitely one of the best players.Datsyuk signed with SKA St. Petersburg to finish his playing career in Russias Kontinental Hockey League. He has great respect from the games top players, and those who played with him understand that the most.Talking with guys on (the U.S.) team and guys that Ive come across, (they know) just how good he is with the puck and his takeaways, former Red Wings teammate Justin Abdelkader said. He practices every day. A lot of people dont see, but hes always playing after games, small-area games or 1-on-1 with players. It just shows his commitment and how good he is.As exciting as watching Datsyuk in games has been for fans for over a decade, Abdelkader isnt the only player in awe of his practice habits. Russian teammate Vladislav Namestnikov called Datsyuk unreal and figures hell get better just from soaking in how his elder prepares for games in the gym and after practice.Injuries have hampered Datsyuk and he was traded at the draft -- to the Arizona Coyotes to give Detroit cap relief. Hes on the Coyotes roster this season despite playing in the KHL, where he already has seven points in six games.Datsyuk leaving with one year left on his contract may have rubbed some people the wrong way, but Babcock points out it happened for the right reason.Age catches up to all of us, Babcock said. But hes still an effective player and hes chosen to go home to be around his family and thats good for Pavel.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno . ' ' '
