Kind of a Worse Ultimate

Once more, the title says it all. When it came out? It was the best Smash yet. Now, though? It's more or less been surpassed by Ultimate in every way, shape and form. Save for trophies... and events. I miss those.

Melee’s true sequel.

After the powerhouse of a game called Super Smash Bros. Melee came out, many wanted a sequel. And in 2008 we got the opposite of that. Super Smash Bros. Brawl struggles with the smooth combat Melee had and while a great singleplayer experience, was definitely disappointing to many. In 2014 though, Nintendo makes this game and it didn’t disappoint.

I love it so much for its combat, special ideas, and roster.

bring back the pacman stage that shit was funny

first smash game i actually tried to get decent at. played it a lot on the 3DS with my friends at school. score would be higher if custom moves were actually not the worst things ever and if bayonetta and cloud weren't... like that. fun game though

This game made me into the Smash player I am today, as a proud Little Mac main of almost five years. Cloud Strife being added to this game was a milestone in my life.

This game made me into the Smash player I am today, as a proud Little Mac main of almost five years. Cloud Strife being added to this game was a milestone in my life. Until Ultimate dropped, Smash 4 was the absolute definitive Smash experience, and still worth a good shot. If your first Smash was Ultimate, bear in mind the mechanics work quite differently and thus many characters are far better in 4 (Bayonetta) or worse overall (Little Mac, sadly).

I like items.

Items are like weather hazards. It is football in the snow. You need to roll with those punches. Saying to shut them off is fine, but demanding it is like saying "I refuse to play until the temperature in this room is exactly at 71 degrees!" Demanding no items is the grammar nazi move for Smash. Saying …

Saying that "using Smash Balls is cheating" is the same as saying using gloves in baseball is cheating.

Where is the 10-star option on this site?

Just know I clicked 5 stars very firmly.

Honestly, as much as I loved the first two Smash games, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed with just how much there was to do in Brawl. When Smash for 3DS and Wii U came out, I was staggered by the variety and found it hard to keep up. Plus, I guess I didn't really have anyone to play with since I moved away from my brother and no longer hung out in the clubroom at uni.

While Smash 4 is probably a well-balanced game, I just never really ployed it enough to obtain that same level of mastery I reached in the previous instalments. I'm not sure how I'll deal with Smash 5 when it hits the stores!

The Best Wii Game of All Time!

Still the best brawling game of all. Every character is unique, yet they all feel well balanced. Such a good game, and arguably the best Wii game of all time.

I really think you should have separate entries for the 3DS and Wii U entry. I thought the 3ds version was meh, but the Wii U one is amazing. Not the same game!

I liked the 3DS version a lot of this, so I'm pretty excited to get my Wii U and my amiibos today. Link and Mario to start with.

I like this game. I mean, its Smash Bros. What's not to like? The playable characters were a big discussion all throughout the year of its release. I was very excited when they announced Megaman. His final smash made me almost want to cry.

I am not going to try and discuss balance issues, as I have no competitive prowess …

I am not going to try and discuss balance issues, as I have no competitive prowess and can not really determine which characters may or may not be game breaking or most effective in a tournament.

I think I saw a Legend of Kage trophy, which makes me smile.

Its a very fun game and anyone who has played any of the earlier smash games such as Smash Bros, Melee or Brawl will probably have to end up buying this at one point. The roster is too big.
