Could you build this?

No Modding Super Smash Bros. Melee into a 3D game requires extensive reverse engineering of 20-year-old proprietary GameCube PowerPC machine code and game physics.

What it would actually take: Development requires decompiling and reverse engineering the GameCube PowerPC executable, understanding Melee's internal physics, collision detection, and camera systems. Custom C/assembly injection tools (such as MexTK) must be used to rewrite the 2.5D coordinate logic and character movement into a fully functional 3D coordinate space.
