Melee is an amazing game! TL totally has an awesome smash community.

I think the closest game to resemble sc is chess where there are no turns and you can move as much as you want.

The thing is, Melee and fighting games in general lack one of the most important aspects of Starcraft and most RTS games in general. And it's that most RTS games are games of imperfect information. While Fighting games are typically games of perfect information. Scouting is a huge aspect of RTS games, learning what your opponent is doing, while you can see your opponent at all times in most fighting games. As a result, I'd have to agree with Rabidch and say that CS 1.6 probably has more in common with Starcraft than any other game.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88
