Super Smash Bros. Brawl | The Worst One, Apparently - Scott The Woz

[@SchaffrillasProductions]

Brawl is so special to me in a way very few games are. Growing up, I poured so much time into unlocking every character, getting every trophy, playing a match with every possible combination in Special Smash, and beating the Subspace Emissary eight times. (Yes, eight.) I just never seemed to run out of stuff to do, and now, ten years later? I still haven't.

[@TailsGaming1999]

Schaffrillas Productions I completely agree it just had so much content and I had so much fun as a kid unlocking it all (hell I was so crazy as a kid I would legit delete my save to unlock all the characters again because I found it so fun and I did this MULTIPLE times) honestly I wish I didnt do that as a kid cause now I cant see when I first played the game on my wii and I cant see all the legendary album pics I took back then on the save I have now I got some good ones still thankfully (stopped doing the save delete crap around 2012 or 2011 or so) but its a shame would have liked to go through memory lane the freaking album song is so nostalgic I want to cry. Honestly all of brawl soundtracks is incredibly nostalgic and makes me want to cry.. I still manage to find the most enjoyment out of this smash too nostalgia probably having to do a bit with that im honestly so glad to have grown up with this game and I hope most of you did it was great :).

The reason Snake became a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is because Hideo Kojima had originally requested Snake to be in Melee, but didn't make the cut due to time constraints.

[@scottmemelord6130]

On the other side of the spectrum, Sonic got added to Brawl very late into development which is why he's literally only at the end of the subspace emissary I assume because the rest of the story had already been written so it was the only place they could insert him. lol.

Snake got in as a personal favour Masahiro Sakurai did for Hideo Kojima. Kojima's son loved Super Smash Bros 64, and when Kojima heard that his friend Sakurai was making a sequel, he asked if Snake could be in it so that his son could play as Daddy's character. Melee was too far into development by that point to add any new characters, but Sakurai said he would try and get him in if there was a threequel. When development started on Brawl, Sakurai called Kojima and asked if he was still interested in Snake being in Smash. Kojima said "Hell, yes!" and that was that.

Tripping was a response to the competitive metagame of Melee meant to prevent the excessive wavedashing that so polarized the character tier list.

@@goldster100 Melee has a cast of about 5-8 viable characters for top level play. Brawl has Metaknight, who dominates top level players with mediocre and predictable play. And at the same time, they clearly invested time toning down and balancing Melee's best characters, theoretically expanding the competitive cast, only to ruin the whole point of that effort with Metaknight. For me, the biggest problem with Brawl however was that it attracted a crowd that refused to turn off items. Even as a party brawler it just turned into item spam. Maybe you don't like Fox Final Destination No Items, but nothing but grabbing and throwing items for 5 minutes meant I couldn't find a local scene worth going to to even play the underlying game.

[@khaosklub]

melee seems to have been. and we're not talking about hardcore gamers in general, we're talking about hardcore smash fans. now, what is a hardcore smash fan? well, it's a player who dedicates time to mastering the game. As players dedicate time to mastering a game, they become skilled. Hardcore will always be the smaller portion of any fanbase, but it is arguable that they should be a priority when designing the game, and ought to have the more valid opinion on whether the games are good or not. Casual fans can only judge if a game is fun casually, which means in a shallow manner. They know virtually nothing about the mechanics of the game or how it works. Some commenters on here weren't even aware of dashing! a fundamental core mechanic! It's like anything else. You wouldn't value an opinion of someone who likes a car because it drives nice over a auto enthusiast who can tell you all the details of the design, would you? definitely, the enthusiast can tell you which car is better, at least have a better opinion than the casual driver. Even if that car is designed with the casual motorist in mind, the enthusiast can definitely tell you whether it is a good car or not, and all the 5 star casual reviews mean nothing if all the enthusiasts claim it's a terrible car. All that means, is that if you don't really care about cars, and just want a comfortable trip from point A to point B, then this car is shallowly good enough. So if your gaming preference is a shallow show of lights, colors and chaos, then brawl is just fine. But if you care one bit about the actual game, you'd see the turd for what it is.

[@joshykeeler]

All those Brawl haters need to realise that Smash Bros was originally created by Sakurai for everyone to be able to play, and was literally supposed to be targeted at casual gamers, which is why I don’t understand the arguments for why Brawl is a bad game.

Apparently one of the main reasons that Snake was the first 3rd party character announced for Brawl was because Hideo Kojima’s son asked Kojima to ask Sakurai to add Snake into the next Smash Bros. game after playing the death out of Melee and wondering why his father’s character wasn’t included.

[@jellypuff7026]

“Baby’s First Smash” is more accurate than you think. When I was around 5 or 6 I discovered Brawl while watching some of my distant relatives play Subspace Emissary. Believe it or not my introduction to Nintendo was watching Bowser shoot a dark gun at Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong taking the hit for him. Characters I barely recognized were dying and killing. And thus, that family trip became the most important event in my life. I quickly got hooked Wii games and Nintendo, and honestly, most of the games I played were life changing for me. Subspace Emissary was the first “game” I had ever beat and nothing will ever make me feel the way that credit sequence did. It compelled me enough to play Super Mario Galaxy, Kirby’s Return to Dreamland, Twilight Princess, and Majora’s Mask and those were all amazing experiences for child-me. I’m sure I would’ve fallen in love with Nintendo even if I hadn’t picked up the game, but thanks to its charming nature and ability to introduce and flesh out the characters, I decided to become a Nintendo fan right then and there. Definitely the best decision of my life.

[@bluecheese7447]

That’s so fire, one of my first game experiences was also Brawl, and man that story mode was so magical to me.

The subspace emissary is probably the reason why Brawl is my favorite game next to Ultimate. It gave you something to do and I loved how it had its own story, and I loved it overall. Sorry if you disagree I’m just putting my opinion out there.

And while I am (mostly) a competitive player, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the fact that some of my favourite video game characters are playable. I enjoy this game more than other fighting games, I just don't like those darn items. So I'm presented with two choices: 1) Stop playing the game entirely to play another fighting game that I enjoy less. 2) Keep playing the game and use the option included in the game to turn off items.

Really. Only the competitive people dislike brawl, then the ones who try to like brawl fall to peer pressure and jump on the train. Brawl literally only had ONE bad thing. That was tripping. Everything else that isn't competitive related like wavedashing and all that other mumbo jumbo that was removed has nothing to do with the actual quality of the game and shouldn't be considered. On a competitive standard? Yes, brawl is the worst smash, but Nintendo isn't about being competitive, they're about having fun as a casual a casual group. The competitive scene is more like stuff for Street Fighter if anything. Now, if we look at brawl the way Nintendo intended, I'd have to say that it is a masterpiece with excellent he graphics, music and a wonderful story mode. And the most underappreciated aspect being the Final Smashes that were added.

[@ivansoto9723]

I like competitive gaming but there's something I realized about everything from card games to video games. Where there's competitiveness there is try hard's, saltiness, and the meta. Then I remembered, does making a game more competitive friendly necessarily make it more fun to play? and the answer is no, it doesn't. In fact, a good example from when I was a kid to support this. Back in middle school, a friend of mine sold to another about 20 stacks of random Yugioh cards for three quarters. From there we all just suddenly got into casually playing Yugioh with silly made decks as our whole lunch table pretty much learned how to play together. We would laugh as one of us would play our trump card, Island Turtle. Then there was the fun of showing up next class with a new card that you thought was OP as hell and throwing it into the makeshift deck as your friends start betting chicken nuggets and fries. That's fun. Eventually of course I got better decks, learned to play better etc. would meet once a month and play until I realized that I was not enjoying this game anymore. Mostly because it felt like a cash grab to keep up with the ever changing meta. Rules change to keep the game fresh, but it seriously breaks the game imo when the power creep just keeps climbing just like how power creeps can break a show, or how constant buffs and nerfs can wash out a video game. It seemed like I got used to a deck only to have to buy another one anyway. I ended up selling all my cards for about $10, mostly because they were worth so much less than when I bought them, and they're were so many that they would take too much time to sell. I could've gotten into MTG but I just went away from card games completely anyway. Casual=Fun imo About six months ago I discovered Knight Squad. A really good party game that I recommend to everyone and that I play when there's a lot of people over. Modded smash bros is a great one too.

By the way to the people trying to argue with me in the comments idk why you think I'm the CEO of hating Brawl and I invented this argument, I literally never once said that at any point in time my only point in writing this comment was to inform people who don't understand the situation that this is the reason why some people don't like Brawl, I'm not an activist for either side I'm just stating the fact that this is one of the main reasons

[@linguine4500]

Then, casuals will like the game more than melee, and competitive players will like melee more. What is your point here?

Now is around the time when the people who had Wiis / Brawl as little kids can look back on the system and games with rose-tinted nostalgia. But trust me as someone who was an adult out of college when Brawl was released: Even back then, Brawl wasn't considered very good. People figured out how jank it was almost instantly too.

[@usagijojo2]

Also worth nothing, one thing which can't be covered in modern reviews is how bad the online play was. "Basic Brawl" was one of the most miserable modes for online play ever devised, 1v1 with randoms wasn't possible, and due to the lack of a fully featured online service, after a while the public online just devolved into Taunt Parties where people just stand around and gang up on who dare to play. You couldn't ban / block anyone who did taunt parties either, so they eventually took over.

[@bruceU]

he spent the entire video saying how the game had so much shit that wasnt good and then just concluded with a "but yeah the game was great i liked it"

[@isaacfox732]

@@bruceU So in other words it's a good but flawed game?

[@softlyfalling8563]

Usagi Jojo just because people liked it doesn’t mean it’s through rose tinted glasses. I remember enjoying it very much. This video acknowledges what people might not like about it but that has nothing to do with how enjoyable it is to everyone. Frankly, I don’t care about most of the things people don’t like. It was fun and immersive for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

??? The most sold game of all time, and the main character for smash is not surprising. We were all waiting for it. He isn't some nobody, even I would agree with your statement if Shovel Knight got in. But Steve we were all waiting for.

It was almost guaranteed to happen sooner or later, with Microsoft getting closer with Japan, Minecraft being the best selling game ever, with Steve being the mascot, if anything it would be rediculous to say it wasn't gonna happen

[@rosearchfield843]

@@SlammedOnGasoline honestly, gamecube prices aren't going to go down anytime soon. Right now we are in the period where people are really nostalgic for the gamecube/ps2 era and people are buying them at high prices. Unless you get very lucky or prices go down within the next few years your best bet is buying a gen 1 wii and the game(the game is gonna be hard to find for under 30, so good luck) also, Buy up wii/ps3 era games you want because in a few years they are gonna go up in price.
