Of all of the characters in Smash, which appearance is their most iconic? I'd argue Melee was released at the perfect time in Nintendo's history to represent it's roster with the most iconic versions of each character. For example, the Zelda characters are from Ocarina of Time. The Super Mario characters are from Super Mario 64. Donkey Kong is from his Rare era, etc.

In this video I do a deep dive to examine if my bold claim is really true.
