I hated how it felt, and I put it down after less than an hour, never to return. I never even made it far enough to unlock Sonic The Hedgehog, and I didn’t even bother trying with Smash on Wii U. Then came epilepsy, and I realized halfway through Brawl my Smash days were over. I got every single trophy and loved every moment of it. It was easily the Cube game I put the most time into. In my pre-epilepsy days, I played TONS of Melee on my GameCube. Frankly, the only reason I didn’t is because I couldn’t get my epilepsy under control for years, and Smash Bros is to photosensitivity what a Big Mac is to dieting. So yea, I do get how someone could not buy into the hype. Still a better ending for this dragon than the ones from Game of Thrones got. Plus, despite varied move sets, most non-professional players tend to spam the same attacks over and over and over and that can get boring. If you find yourself in a match on one of those massive platforming-stage-type arenas with Pokeballs and Assist Trophies set to max, keeping track of the action or even where the hell you are on screen, even with ID tags on, is a pain in the ass. Gameplay can become an unimaginable clusterfuck of visual spam that looks like effects from multiple different genres were spliced together in a way sure to cause a tension headache. I don’t agree with them, but I do understand them. I actually get why some people don’t like the Smash Bros.
