    When I was a kid I wrote a letter to Nintendo asking them to make a Super Smash Bros game for the Gameboy Advance. Therefore I am the sole reason there is a portable Smash Bros.

      honestly, despite what he said publicly, i dont think that was the real reason. i think it was because making two versions all while working on all the new modes, characters, and stages simply didn't leave them with enough time or resources to make a substantial story mode. ultimate's story mode only got made because it was done entirely with the assets they already had for the rest of the game. i think having the cutscene team do character reveal trailers instead was his form of a concession.

    I may have commented this story before but my husband (then boyfriend) was a play tester for these two games (terrible job tbh but it's a fun experience at least.) A few fun stories from that:
    1. I am a Lucina fan girl... She's one of my favorite characters of all time. He leaked one night while drunk that Robin was in it but didn't tell me about Lucina. I saw that trailer when I woke up one morning and lost my damn mind! I'm shocked he was able to hide it 😂
    2. After he left we still had friends who worked there so I was able to get popular amiibos (Robin and Lucina) not only no problem, but at a discount because they picked them up at the employee store

    I think it's really interesting how going through Sakurai's career is watching him get hung up on specific ideas over and over again.

An interesting fellow, that Sakurai. I like him.

    I was 12 or 13 when Smash for 3DS came out. My (belligerently) Puerto Rican mom, without knowing what Smash was or why I cared, took me to the midnight release at a GameStop. I got home and put in the game and I just started crying. I was just so overwhelmed and I didn’t know where to start. She saw me crying and got concerned that I’d bought the wrong game or something and it was so hard to explain to her that they were tears of joy. I made a lifelong friend the next Monday when I went on the school bus and another diehard Nintendo fan had already bought the game.

    I believe it was confirmed (by Sakurai?) that Sora was the #1 fighter for the fighter ballot overall. While Bayonetta was #1 in Europe, "realistic inclusions" meant "can we negotiate this in like, a week, and would it require an insane amount of work/reworking" I assume. Nintendo published Bayonetta 2 and likely had some level of discussion of Bayonetta in Smash already.

    I also remember just being really salty because they gave away Pizza at the Gamestop while people were waiting for the launch to actually happen and nobody told me until they ran out of slices. I went hungry that night.
    Late 2014 was in general something that lives in my memory really clearly, Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney, Smash 3DS and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire are games that i'll always remember. I cant really disconnect the three of them because i associate them with the final months of my dads life.

    I didn’t think it was that weird because Bandai Namco is one of the biggest fighting game developers out there next to Capcom, SNK and Nether Realms Studios as the studio behind Tekken, Soulcalibur and a large number of anime games so them creating the new Smash just made sense to me, as they have lots of experience with fighting games since the original Tekken in 1994, so getting a developer that’s been making not just fighting games, but fantastic ones as well, was a smart move.

You could have two people instead of the restricted single player that can join an arena in Ultimate. Another better option is CPU's in Arenas with friends somehow Ultimate doesn't have this.
    Then the most memorable and frankly worst crime for all of online. The option to swap out characters while queing or qued with another player in for glory/fun It didn't take long either just a couple seconds if you didn't stay on the screen I don't remember if it got you into the game while in the character select or if it locks the que to wait for character selection. It's likely the first. Ultimate doesn't have this imagine you got so close against someone and want to rematch them with a character you play better well guess what you can't. You have to exit the que to swap your character. 4 had better online options. Ultimate has no excuse. Even worse though Ultimate is just the better game even with a worse online with options.

    I was pretty young when I first played the Wii U version but man I have so many amazing memories with it. I would play with my older brothers all the time, and sometimes my mom and dad would play too and it was so chaotic and fun. My old neighbor who moved out a bit ago would come over just to play with us all the time too, it was a great time. I’ll never forget how we would all always look up to my older brother as the “boss” since he was better than all of us lol. So nostalgic for this game

    These games came out not long after I joined the circle of CZcams and while I was in the middle of high school and slowly making my own money. So the build up to these games was honestly some of the most fun I've had leading up to a game's release. The Palutena and Robin and Lucina trailers were just so wonderful to witness back then. The game itself definitely lived up to my expectations and then some. While nowadays I prefer how Brawl handled the single player content, Smash 4 mechanically felt tight and it was always a blast to participate in battles. Heck the DLC took things even further with all the returning characters and newcomers.

      I played so much Melee and Smash 4 in college that Ultimate is basically a game I bought, unlocked everything, and touched it a few times for multiplayer then eventually stopped playing entirely. I'm pretty burned out on Smash (even though I still love Melee, can't say the same about the others) which is something I can't say about fighting games like BlazBlue Central Fiction and Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2. I keep coming back to those.

    It does sadden my heart to know the online servers for both versions will be shutting down by april of next year and also prior to the announcement the dlc for this game being discontinued due to their shops closure earlier this year even if they're all in ultimate the feeling of going back to playing the dlc roster were first introduced through legal means is now out of the window.
    my history of the game has been quite a fun one, meeting up with new friends i still keep in touch with to this day. ironically this version has still been the most time i invested myself in a smash title with brawl and ultimate being tied for second.
    did wish though for ultimate's case, some of wii u and 3ds modes were brought over, as much the complete cut free roster was a huge fun factor, the game felt massively barebones at the initial launch if you wanted to look into single player content outside of spirits (and also the weird exclusion of the mii's in classic and whoever plays smashdown for some reason lmao??)

    I'm a huge sucker for customization, and Smash 4 might be the best "customization" game I have ever played.
    There's SO MANY POSSIBILITIES: A super fast Ganondorf vs. a slow and tanky Captain Falcon, an air fighter Little Mac, a Roy who's netural special can do over 200% a Captain Falcon that's even more flashy than the one we have now, a Villager from hell (seriously, screw Timber Counter!), a high(?) tier Dr. Mario (Soaring Tornado + Fast Pills = cracked), a Link who's bow becomes a stage-wide kill move, a character that gambles on being able to keep a Final Smash to heal and be stronger,

      Its good to know im not the only one that noticed this. When Brawl was released, a lot of people loathed it. It was easily the least popular Smash game around hardcore fans. Now that the casual Brawl fans grew up they want to get their revenge on the game that was seen as superior back in 2014. Likewise when the next game comes around, Ultimate will be seen as a blasphemy and Smash 4 will be praised for watever reason.
      Im still on the camp that considers Brawl the worst game out of the bunch, and no fancy cutscenes are gonna make me change my mind. Its the Skyrim of Nintendo games, im not playing that shit unless its modded.
      Smash 4 on the other hand, still remains as my second favorite Smash game and my 2nd favorite 3DS game.

      I highly agree with all of your statements except the Smash 4 getting praise one, only because people like Scott predicted Skyward Sword would be praised endlessly around this time yet people still rank it below Wind Waker and Twilight Princess (let alone OOT and Majora's Mask).
      I'm also a simple man: I like Brawl because it has the most single player content (and the best if you don't get creative with Smash 4's custom sets), and I'm one of the few that really doesn't like Subspace Emissary. *Gasp.* (Tl:dr why: most of the characters contribute nothing despite deserving to, a few characters get wanked like they're perfect, only 2 out of 30+ characters get character development, and they misrepresented a couple characters like Wario, Olimar, and Lucas.)
