The year is 1995 my momma just gave birth to the most beautiful little dingus that would eventually make goofy YouTube videos
But meanwhile across the ocean in Japan, Masahiro Sakurai was coming up with his own
beautiful little dingus his idea would change the world
A four-player fighting game featuring nintendo characters. The big dogs at nintendo, they didn't like this idea too much.
They're like uhhh no. But that doesn't stop Masahiro Sakurai. Nothing stops this man he is a wild rambunctious person
He creates a prototype featuring Mario Donkey Kong Samus and Fox. Anyway, he shows it to the higher big dogs
The big dogs are like OK bada-bing bada-boom
1999 rolls around macro
He can finally walk he can finally talk
Look at him little did he know that his path would finally crossed must hero soccer eyes when he finally got his own
Nintendo 64, and...
The rest is history
While Avengers Infinity War was one of the biggest most crazy crossovers in all of cinema history
We all remembered the biggest crossover of our childhoods
We're talking about Super Smash Brothers 64 when I was small
I really only knew like half of the cast you got Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Zelda, get it cuz oh
Okay, Yoshi, Luigi
Jigglypuff I never played star fox or Kirby. I didn't play up zero. I didn't play space invaders or that Japan kid game
Come on Nintendo. What are these huh?
Not all of these guys were the a-list and Nintendo per se but they will always be the original twelve and they made up
60% of my childhood
So I eventually knew everything and anything about all of these characters and eventually I played all of their individual games [???]
See you Nintendo, you're using smash for advertisement smart, but the game itself was fantastic for the time
I'll admit that the graphics all polygons and such
They haven't aged too well, but the game it was and it's still pretty fun. It's tons of fun
the game is so simple, knock enemies off maps and so they have no lives left, the more damage they take the easier is to
Knock them off the maps simple as that why couldn't adults understand this when I explained it to them. Come on dad
I want you to play Smash Bros with me who could forget the 1 player mode
This is the motive master hand in it. This is the mode you had to play in order to unlock the four unlockable characters
It's the mode you play when you're super lonely and have no friends to play with
But even then the cream of the crop was never this it was always the multiplayer
Even if you're a lonely boi, you could play multiplayer with three CPUs. It could be level one an easy peasy
Lemon squeezy or that could be level nine and actually kick your ass
But then you'll learn but then you'll learn. You and up to three other friends could just Duke it out with all these twelve different
characters on these wild
assortments of maps
You got the good maps like hyrule castle
Or kirby's map and you got the annoying maps like the one where lava comes up and just kills everyone
I mean FU- look at these options you got the option between stock mode and time mode
You got a little cousin who doesn't understand anything put a handicap on them. It's okay. It's okay
You'll be, he'll be fine. You got the choice between items, no items, heavy items or just put bombs, pokeballs and beam swords
That's her family. So we use the lot don't don't judge me don't judge me. It was just dumb fun
It was really cool
Seeing each of us get good at our own respective Nintendo characters of choice
Even though we would fight and argue all the time in real life my brothers
And I could always always bond over some Super Smash Brothers. Fast forward two years later my parents
They're not scrooge mcduck and out here. We ain't got no Gamecube money. My parents were like GameCube more like lamecube
We got a ps2 like everybody else let's be real
So I never physically owned my own copy of Melee at the time when it was released
But that doesn't mean I didn't get a play it I had plenty of friends that had it and whenever I was over there houses
We'd play it and it was a ton of fun still you had the og 12 that were back looking better than ever
But we got even more we got Ganon, actual Zelda, Bowser, Princess Peach, bird man
8-bit Billy, little blink, little pikachu, Mewtwo, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and
Dr. Mario and these two guys that no one's ever heard her from Japan but I mean all of us kids were like yo
What the F are these kids? But nobody cared because you know
Roarsville. There were more maps more items more everything, literally who could have expected after two years a sequel this great
Is it the best Super Smash Brothers ever? No, not for me, but I understand why people love it
I'll get back to my opinions on melee later because I feel like I actually learned more about it as I got older
Fast forward seven years later the Wii was a thing, and I also didn't own it
I was an Xbox 360 guy at the time
I'm sorry, but nothing made me want a WII more than this game
Like half of my cousin's had the WII and they had this game
So whenever I was over their house, I would be like please if we play this game and they'd be like ugh fine
So I played this game a lot the roster basically doubled with newcomers like King Dedede, Diddy Kong, Ike, Lucario, Wario, Ash Ketchum
angel guy evil Fox, blonde Ness, Neil Armstrong robber
Anime link, hot Samus and banned from tournament play on top of that
We saw the first-ever
Third-party characters Sonic and Solid Snake who in retrospect doesn't really fit in as well as I thought he did
But yeah, it's he just it just seems off. We also saw some characters not return Roy will always be the boy
As usual there were new items new stages more importantly
There was a mapmaker which if you know me, I love creating my own Maps
But this was not the best part about it. The best item that they added though had to be the final smash every character had
A unique one and this was honestly a lot of fun for us casual fans of the game
Then you got the theme music look melees it was nice but listen to this iconic masterpiece
I thought this was such an incredible game way better than its predecessor
but boy was I wrong there's a seedy underbelly that was growing in the past 7 years that I had not known about
I really started to get into smash competitively around this time, but that's also where I discovered the Melee fanboys
To this day
there are people who play Melee on a
Competitive level and a lot of them hate the new smash bros title for straying a little bit too far from melee's style and gameplay
To the point where people don't even give the new smash bros a chance
I personally really like the competitive side of smash where no items very simple Maps
But I also enjoyed playing it with items and with friends and just for party purposes
I think that smash can be both
A competitive and a casual game for everybody, and I think that brawl didn't focus heavily enough on the competitive side and focused way more on
the casual side
This is why after smash 4 came out brawls competitive scene. Just kind of died in melee still here
Which is a good segue for my next part. Fast forward to 2014 smash 4 or sm4sh came out for the Wii
Eww, and the 3ds I had it for the 3ds because the Wii U is trash
This is the smash that I played the most besides
64. My college roommate had it and we played it every single day. This game had way too many newcomers
I'm not gonna list them all out. You have Wikipedia you got Google you do it. This game is so polished
It's so clean
there was something for the casual fan and for the competitive fan to enjoy, but it also introduced DLC
And broken characters that forever ruined competitive smash. I'm looking at you Bayonetta, but I have fond memories
How do I say this without getting flagged uhh
Relaxing and drinking Capri Suns with college buddies and playing the all night. Ah good memories. Which brings us here
2018 smash ultimate is coming out December and it is literally my favorite game of 2018 already their slogan
Everyone is here is already enough for me to want to get the game. He already saw that we're getting back snake
We're getting back every single thing like pokemon trainer
Pichu even I mean ok
But on top of that a lot of the fan favorite characters that no one thought would ever come are finally here Ridley, King K
Rool Simon Belmont, who would have thought Simon Belmont Isabel? Okay. I mean that one I don't know
I mean
I wasn't an animal crossing fan, but like who?
Wanted this but with every single Nintendo Direct
I am even more hyped every single day and I just wanted to show you that I'm such a huge fan of Super Smash Bros
You should expect Mario for newbs and Captain Falcon for noobs. Just a lot of these videos about Smash Bros
Once the game comes out because you know that I'm a huge fan and I want to make content like that
Super Smash Brothers has been around my entire life from childhood to right now while I'm trying to make this YouTube channel grow
It feels kind of nice to know that there's a new Super Smash Brothers around the corner
I will never forget the memories that I had playing this game with friends on the couch with cousins at their house because to me
Smash Brothers is kind of a big part of just my life
It's kind of hard to explain but that's partially why I wanted to make this video. I love
Super Smash Brothers
