I have the same kind of mentality with Smash 4. While there aren't as many advanced techniques in Smash 4 as with Melee, I believe there is always something in Smash that you can do better at and, as you said, it drives one to continue climbing. Melee was the first one I played, and when I say 'one', I don't mean my first Smash game. Melee was the first video game I had ever played. For that reason, Melee will always hold a very special place in my life; it introduced me to so many game series that I love today like Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, and Star Fox. Brawl and Smash 4 continued introducing me to new game series that I love playing even today.
