Well, SSB is the greatest Nintendo game ever. Besides coming up with the Falcon Punch, It's just more fun to me than most fighting games. Loved the original, too bad I can only play it on an emulator now, second one was better than the first, but Brawl... Well, Brawl's just amazing. A true Nintendo masterpiece, and an awesome game to play all around. It brings together people like no other game on wii.

I love super smash! I'm nearly unbeatable as Pikachu or Zelda/Sheik.

i think they should do a ds version, that would be sweet, it doesnt need to have all the features of brawl, but the basics, then itll be the first portable fighter

too bad solid snake wasn't included on melee, but did you know that they were going to add king dedede on the original roster and on melee, but they were usually ready to be shipped out, that or there was not enough space on the memory of the game. I own all 3 games and snake is one of my favorites, link is another favorite of mine, although i am close to perfection with link.

heck, close, i've almost done every challenge there is, i have 3 blocks left to complete, one is the hardest boss battles, 100 hours of brawls, and finally collect all stickers. my record on the home run contest is 2525 with fox, and i think i have 3 trophies left to go, my lowest score in the home run contest is 1800, i've beaten subspace on hard, almost on very hard. for melee, i completed the original mode on the hardest difficulty without using one continue. and it goes on and on.

i remember playing the original, good times. one other thing to mention is i think i overplayed the original one b/c it is slower than usual, it used to be a lot faster than it once was. that or i'm used to the other ones now.

my brother and i are stl playing the N64 version. we didn't get Melee, as we thought the gamecube wasn't worth it, as one good game does not a console make. But we loved brawl, although he kept spamming game and watch.

They should have sora from kh in the next one
his final smash could be trinity limit

i only played the original SSB in Mcdonalds they had it like an arcade machine execpt u cud play without coins as long as your order took to get ready. i fell in love with that game ever since and it also happened to be the game that introduced Samus,Link,Kibry,Fox & Yoshi to me (^^) i just love SSB oh the good ole memories. Thanx GR

isnt there going to be ssb rumble on the DS?
Styrophoamicus  - 7 months 5 days ago 
Melee was my favourite, I think mostly due to the easy-to-digest adventure mode. I wish that there were character-specific "Break the Targets" levels in Brawl like they did with Melee. I also found Brawl to be a bit slower. If they combined Brawl's characters with Melee's gameplay that would be awesome.

BTW why is there no Smash Bros. DS? IT CAN BE DONE! WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!

The real winner, though, is the internet series "There Will Be Brawl" =P.

N64 smash is the best.

SSB : Best Game For the N64. Period. Great classic, and the first fighting game (as I know of) to get knocked off stage. (No health bar)

SSBM : Better graphics, I'll say that. And many WTF moments. Was the version for advance players. Most characters were crappy clones.

SSBB : The reason to buy a Wii. Almost everyone who owns a Wii owns this game. Beatiful graphics. Much more variety with the characters. More fair, not using advanced techniques.

My vote goes to, dammit, it's just too hard. But SSBM was the worst because of the too many cloned characters. I think SSB was the best since it was different. But, then again, in SSBB, Mario and Sonic could fight to the death, with Snake also. You know what, all of them are the best.

Likely to add a couple more non-nintendo characters in the next one. I think sack boy will be one.

love smash bros so much
never owned the n64 version
i love brawl as much as melee
i wish skull kid / majoras mask link / fierce deity link / more F-zero characters were in brawl though
SuperBadnik  - 7 months 5 days ago 
Huh, this series really needs to end. Brawl had nothing really new, any other series wouldn't get away with it.
