Previously, I covered all of the moveset changes I'd give to the 12 Smash 64 characters, so I decided to move onto the next game in the series, Melee. Many agree that just like Smash 64, there are still a lot of characters have more problems and are more problematic in execution compared to the newer fighters, so i'd figure give them changes that fit them properly. Even if I'd only change one or two things about a character, whether it'd be an incredibly minor moveset change, a single animation change, or an alternate costume, I'll list them here.

Peach:

1.Jab: Only the name is changed.

2.Dash Attack - Kunai Swords: Puts the Swords in an X Position, then slashes forwards.

3.Side Tilt - Rapier: Thrusts the Rapier forwards.

4.Down Tilt - Heel Slide: Performs a heel slide kick.

5.Side Smash - Forward Charge Punch: Performs a forward charge punch.

6.Down Smash - War Fan: Swings in a downward horizontal angle.

7.Neutral Aerial - Jump Kick: Performs an Aerial Jump Kick.

8.Forward Aerial - Perry: Swings perry forward.

9.Down Aerial - Poundbrella: Peach gets inside of Perry, and plummets down to the ground, slamming hard when landing, can also meteor spike opponents.

10.Grab - Whip: Uses a whip to capture, then pull opponents to her.

11.Pummel - Slap Glove: Slaps the opponent.

12.All of throws are back to Sm4sh throws.

13.Neutral Special - Vibes: Selects one of four vibes. They are tied to meters that last about their respective seconds and also can alter with their own strengths.

14.Side Special - Chargebrella: Holds Perry in front of her fire a yellow, umbrella-shaped energy projectile that travels straight ahead a short distance, which can be charged.

15.Up Special - Grappling Hook: Pulls out a Grappling Hook, then fires it upwards at an angle while slightly boosting herself up. It also can act as a tether recovery.

16.Down Special - Therapy: Bends down for a bit, then heals herself.

17.Final Smash - Psych Bomb: Throws a bomb at them which causes many bombs to rain from the sky and deals a large amount of damage.

Bowser:

1.He will now have his canon personality and canon voice from Kenny James instead of the infamous realistic monster creature vocal sounds.

2.Entrance Animation: He will now enter battlefield from his Clown Car while saying "Showtime!" and hop out of the Clown Car.

3.Jab: Goes back to his Melee and Brawl Jab.

4.Dash Attack: Performs a Shoulder Tackle, gaining a quick speed boost during the move's duration.

5.Side Tilt - Punch: Punches Straight forward.

6.Down Tilt - Stomp: Stomps his feet onto the ground, burying opponents.

7.Side Smash - Sliding Punch: Reels back before unleashing a cross punch.

8.Down Smash - Tail Whip - Swipes with his tail on fire.

9.Down Aerial - Ground Pound: Moved from his Down Special to here.

10.Forward Throw: Grabs the opponent by their feet with his dominant hand, spins them over his head & tosses them forward.

11.Neutral Special - Fireball/Fire Breath: If Tapped, Shoots a Fireball or If held, shoots a Stream of Fire, both dealing fire damage, which the latter can be angled.

12.Side Special - Spike Ball: Curls into his shell and tackles at high speed.

13.Up Special - Body Slam: Retreats into his shell and flips high into the air, and stays there for a bit. You can move left and right slightly at the peak of his jump, too. At the peak of his jump, if you press B again, then Bowser will come crashing downward inside his shell, dealing damage to any opponent underneath him. The slam buries grounded opponents and meteor smashes aerial ones.

14.Down Special - Minion Help: Spawns a menu where he could summon his minions to help him do a specific attack, which leads to a cooldown.

14.1.Goomba Storm: Summons Goombas who he lights on fire & fall over to opponents.

14.2.Koopa Corps: Summons Koopa Troopas before retreating into his shell & several Koopa Shells will appear & bounce off him at random opponents.

14.3.Shy Guy Squad: Summons Shy Guys to roll & push him into a rope & will be fired like a slingshot & hit any opponent at a great speed.

14.4.Magikoopa Mob: Summons Magikoopas so he can throw fireballs on them as they all fire a magic blast forward.

15.Final Smash - Fury Bowser: Punches in front of him, hitting up to three opponents. Opponents are sent into a cinematic, taking place in a dark and stormy world. Bowser will then transform into Fury Bowser, roar loudly, then blast a massive fiery beam from his mouth, incinerating the opponents he hit.

10.Up Special - Volt Switch: Shoots out a fast chakram of electricity in a direction and pauses in "standby mode". Can damage enemies and will bounce off in the direction it chooses while it is still in "standby" when hitting either an enemy or terrain. Hitting the special button during standby causes it to turn invincible and follow the chakram's path, damaging enemies along the way. Can choose not to teleport to the chakram by hitting the dodge/shield button.

11.Down Special - Wish: Creates a buff in the form of shining stars around it and/or its teammates. After a timer has counted down, it heals itself. Enemies that hit Pichu will take this shining star buff away and steal it for themselves. Any enemy or ally, including another Pichu can steal this buff back. This stealing does not reset the timer. Every time the buff is stolen, the healing it will grant is amplified.
