Super Smash Bros. is a game that means many things to many people.
It’s the ultimate party game.
It’s the peak of competition.
And most importantly, it’s a community.
For two decades, Smash has brought people together. It’s a crossover, filled with characters anyone can recognize, but also a game that can bring the casual together with the hardcore to play one more game together.
This is it’s story.

One thing you got wrong. Sakurai didn't get the permission to usw Nintendo-characters first. He did the first draft of the game with N-chars behind Nintendo's back and the result was convincing enough for the game to be finalized.
Gotta give respect to the melee community years latter and they still playing the game
9:28 uh what excuse me
Who actually liked the subspace emissary
Thanks for that great video <3
Smash is not a party game its a fighting game anyone can play. Smash revolves around hitting others. Hitting others is NOT SOMETHING YOU TYPICALLY DO A PARTIES OR WITH FAMILIES
Did I just hear the word fast paced to describe brawl
Im pretty sure thats Allied commentating @11.00
Are there any more Super smash bros brawl tornaments?
Lets be honest melee fans could never be satisfied
Melee players need to adapt. When your game literally can’t use more than 6 of its characters there’s a problem. You can keep playing but stop shitting on the new games
Smash bros 64: The forgotten child
Smash bros melee: *The Loved and hated child *
Smash bros brawl: the unwanted child
Smash bros 4: The spoiled child
Smash bros ultimate: The Problem child
I tried Melee on dolphin emulator, but I didn't like it. I couldn't figure out how to do anything but single punches and arrow attacks with link. A tutorial or moves list would've helped. So I haven't bought Ultimate even though I have a switch and don't plan to.
This is one of those series I'm curious about but haven't got into at all.
7:31 because it's a broken game and all the fanboys would get butt hurt about whatever rule set Nintendo chose. Nintendo knows the community is cancerous. You have people like Fortune to show how bad and scummy it is.
Smash has the best community out of all video games. Everyone is so gracious in defeat
Why didn't Project M was mentioned?
Remember when sakurai saw a Bayonetta player and shook his head at them
I just got ultimate. I used to play Brawl at my aunt's place. Years of my life with my cousin raging at master hand, using landmaster, and spamming rocksmash. Oh and Meta Knight tornado.
how have i never played this game?
And still no squad strike online 🙁
I can imagine sakurai making a smash bros movie 5 years after the conclusion of the game itself.
How come no one talks about the competitive smash 64?
King of Fighters 98 is truly a timeless game. Apparently had a hand in making this game.
Sakuri releases brawl
everyone disliked that
Rip Melee
I can not walk, and it is very frustrating to see others doing things that I can never do, run, jump, sports, dance, walk hand in hand with my girlfriend … if I could make a wish …
I just want a F * king Melee HD to not use CRT …
This is why competitive gaming is a joke. Decades of history and a rich culture of individuals eventually ruined by a few bad apples. All this fluffing the bull and the game still gets removed from the EVO lineup because of dollars over diction. Constant over-exaggeration of 5 players and their love for a game that they throw away the moment the game doesn't play exactly to their liking, as it has for over a decade. Ridiculous.
God I hate the competitive Smash tournaments.
Wow what a story
This video came out just a little bit too early, because Melee is now booted from Evo
I guess everyone at EVO didn't watch this before picking their line-up …
This whole documentary was just about Melee and how all the other games compared to it.
Wombo Combo
God I love smash brothers and its competitive scene but why do 95% of all pros look like complete virgin cucks
And now mele is D E A D
yeah, like those girls exist 0:50
And then Melee was kicked out of EVO. Whoops.
No shoutout to the king of smash ken??
17:17 "Time for the best part"
shows ridiculous bayonetta combo
Perfect editing, right there.
Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that they call the best smash players gods?! Just call them champions…
Smash 64: Master Hand, Dolls, The Child
Melee: Crazy Hand, Trophies
Brawl: Subspace Emmisary
3ds/Wii U: Master Core
Ultimate: World of Light, Spirits
Smash 7: Return to Subspace
cool video but honestly just rehashing too much stuff we already know
Some of em probably just upset that walluigi still isnt in smash
I'm the best smash bros player! I won 777 games and lost only 4 games (only against girls) on ultimate
How did you guys not include that Zero's Winning Streak was FIFTY-TWO Tournaments long?
Pichu!
Idk why Nintendo doesn't do a master chief collection style of Smash, and make them all online.
Maybe they'll realize when everyone plays Melee where and when and how they fucked up.
I’m pretty sure(but not positive) the commentator at 11:07 is David “Allied” Hance a former pro Smash and Smite player who passed away from cancer. He’d make a great subject for a video… just saying #Alliedstrong
The story behind SSB is way better than the story mode for ultimate
10:06 Can we acknowledge that Ultimate has nearly caught up the the lifetime sales of 13 year old game considered very successful in less than 3 months?
