(Anagram) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K783SDTBKmg The original Super Smash Bros. commercial might still be the single greatest piece of video gaming propaganda ever produced, and it's not like the game even needed it. The concept alone was enough to make everyone who grew up on Nintendo want it. I feel like I should say it was obvious that this would succeed, but maybe it wasn't considering other companies have tried similar ventures and failed. It actually had to be a good game instead of just a good idea, and thankfully, it was. Now I have no intention of discussion whether Smash Bros. is a fighting game or not. Much like arguing whether or not Zelda is an RPG, I can't even pretend to care about how a game like this is classified. As a fighting game fanboy, I love the fact that Smash Bros. is similar and yet radically different from your traditional fighter. I can have a blast either way. That being said, I only ever do 4 person fights in Smash (even if we have to use CPUs) with items on. I'm playing this because I want crazy chaos and because it's something I don't have to take seriously. I just want to laugh the whole time whenever I turn on Smash Bros. I'm also one of those weirdos who prefers Time to Stock, as well as one of those weirdos who's done the 99 minute fight and the 99 stock fight. Yeah, I have problems. Strangely enough, I never actually owned the original Super Smash Bros. I'd just rent it from Blockbuster for five days, play a ton of it, and then take it back until the urge to play it again arose, and so the cycle would begin anew. Even the single-player content can be pretty fun, whether it's the Arcade mode climaxing with the fight against Master Hand, Board the Platforms, or Break the Targets. I'm pretty sure I beat them all with every character, although I remember Yoshi's version of Break the Targets to be particularly tough, partly due to the fact that he doesn't have an Up-B to give him an extra jump. Speaking of jumps, Link's jump was pretty pathetic in the original game. If you were fighting on the Great Fox and you were on the bottom part, Link literally couldn't get back to the top without using his Up-B. The real appeal of the game was multiplayer though, of course. My favorite Smash Bros. characters across all games are Kirby and Luigi. I love Kirby's Copy powers. There was just something thrilling about seeing Kirby transform into Nintendo characters and use their abilities. His throws were the best, too, and he's got all those extra jumps. Yeah, he's lightweight, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for me. Luigi was kind of an all-or-nothing type character with his Jump Punch and his Green Missile, but I liked the fact that they were risky to use. My favorite stage in the original is probably Hyrule Castle. It looks really cool and seeing your friend get blown away by a tornado was always funny. Favorite items are definite the Hammer (watching all your friends and even the CPU scatter in all directions as soon as you pick it up is great) and the Home Run Bat. I got so proficient with one-shotting with the Home Run Bat that my friends would literally just throw it off the side if they got to it first to prevent me from getting it instead of trying to use it themselves. Nearly all of my friends are bad at fighters though, so I wouldn't actually consider myself to be great at Smash Bros. I just never had legit competition, but I was okay with that. Winning never got old, and Smash was just for fun anyway.
