The WORST Smash Bros. Game

20:24 You mean, five. It depended on the Classic Mode level you played.

"Smash without substance" is another term for Tinder

the most criminal feature is the touch screen doesn't let you press the menu buttons.

To defend New Pork City feeling like it’s been designed by a child, that’s incredibly lore accurate and fitting to the idea of New Pork City

I respectfully disagree on the trophy part. For me, a kid who really only got Brawl in middle school for Sonic and wasn’t super familiar with most of Smash’s franchises, the trophies were such a fun and addictive way to learn about the other series in the game. I was introduced to so many characters and stories through the trophies. Even if the models themselves are downgraded I’d rather have that way than not have them at all. It’s like you said it made Smash feel like a video game museum of sorts. I feel like I’d be a lot less salty about Ultimate getting rid of them if the spirits at least had a paragraph description for each character like the trophies do. That’s a little thing that would’ve gone a long way. Either way I get your point but I still deeply miss trophies

Smash 4 isn’t necessarily a bad game just an obsolete game. Like you said there’s just nothing to go back to when compared to the other games. Which sucks because this was the only smash game I stuck with through its entire community hype cycle. I’ll always have a soft spot for it because of that though.

It really did feel like the 3ds got the better modes to entice people to buy it since they knew competitive players would obviously favor the one that was compatible with the Gamecube controller. Even StreetSmash, despite having pretty much nothing in common with the main gameplay, was far more fun than what Smash Wii U was offering.

I feel like Smash Run needs to return with more and improved content, it's a shame it got cut from Ultimate. Edit: There's also the fact that some characters got very little balance changes. Mario managed to make it out fine, but poor Jigglypuff was left in the dust.

It’s definitely the one game in the series that I have no reason to go back to after the sequel came out. It kind of feels like a beta version of Ultimate.

Smash Run and customs with friends were far-and-away the most fun I’ve ever gotten out of Smash 4.

You're forgetting the worst part about Wii U Classic: the AI is programmed to ALWAYS prioritize striking the player if they're within a certain range instead of other CPUs, which means that if you're playing against 7 CPUs, you're basically playing a 1 vs 7 with friendly fire on. Most 9.0 deathless runs devolve into praying you get low player count games and then being forced into a 6-man Smash on a stage small enough where all of the CPUs are in their player aggro range and then dying to a stage hazard.

To this day, I will always love Smash 3DS/Wii U. Better time in my life, very nostalgic for me. Was the last Smash game I loved before my health took a spiraling decline in my 20s. I will always love my memories of enjoying Smash 4 and playing it with friends.

Fun fact regarding the ported trophy models thing: Brawl Zelda characters were also lifted from TP entirely. You can even give them original TP textures with no effort because the UVs are all left untouched.

"it's not like rehashing green hill is not faithful" made me laugh more than it should

Brawl was hands down the most impactful smash game for me despite all its flaws. At the time, it seemed like it majorly stepped up its visuals and roster and I had replayed subspace emissary at least 100 times. It just felt like so much heart was put into making it the greatest game it could be and solidified my love for the series.

The main thing I love about Smash 4 is the artstyle... specifically the Wii U artstyle (the cartoony look that the characters have, the shadows, the character icons, everything about the artstyle just attracts me). I also find some of the stages in the game memorable along side Smash Run. The last thing I adore about Smash 4 is the shop (the whole concept where you are going to the store and going to buy a minifigure is just really adorable). Other than that..... yeah, the other games in the series are better.... although, I really liked the custom moveset aspect of the game (even if it was tedious)

seeing petilil be referred to as a baddie is something i never thought i'd ever hear

When it comes to trophies, I'm much more interested in the little blurbs that come with them and gives some background My biggest problem with spirits are the direct lack of that and part of why i prefer the trophies. They might be asset rips, but its fun to learn about the characters and sometimes get trivia you wouldn't know otherwise plus it feels great being able to fill out the collection. Seriously the fact that not only do they not tell you a little about them and they are expendable making them a pain to collect, but don't even tell you what franchise they're a part of is why I do not care about them at all in ultimate. Also they're just slightly better stickers from brawl which no one cared about.

I actually like how they implemented The Great Cave Offensive; it perfectly recaptures all the frustration that game mode gave me as a kid!

I knew before I even clicked on this video that it was gonna be either 4 or Brawl. I'm so glad it wasn't Brawl.
