Ranking the Smash Bros. Games

All right listen up you fucking idiots.

Here is my ranking of the Smash Bros games from worst to best.

:teach: This is a completely unbiased, completely true and purely objective ranking, so any disagreements are not legitimate :teach:

Worst
3DS Smash Bros. - 0/10

The screen is small, there’s no story mode, the music is ASININE, and it looks like complete shit. Sound fun? I originally bought this game when I was fucked up on hot Cheetos and put $70 on the Eshop for some fucking reason. Needless to say I was just in it for the hype.
Mistakes were made indeed, this game reeks of ass. Massive disappointment.

Fifth
Super Smash Bros. Melee - 4/10

This is the part where people shit themselves out of disagreement. Suprise! This game is complete shit. The music is better than some of the others on this list, but the gameplay is completely broken. In the tournament scene, people use these broken mechanics to their advantage, but that doesn’t make them any less unfair and broken. In addition to the gameplay sucking, Melee has the worst community of any video game ever. Imagine a bunch of immature and unfunny screaming 30 year olds all in a sweaty room. Absolute hell.
Also, no fucking story mode.

Fourth
Smash Bros for Wii U - 7/10

This marks the point on the list when the games get legitimately good. This game wasn’t revolutionary or anything, but was actually a worthy successor to Brawl. It looked amazing and offered some more items and more random shit. But then again, more random shit can only get you so far. I don’t know about you but I hardly ever tried smash tour. I didn’t even bother with the other shit modes they threw in there. Nevertheless, this game was pretty solid.
Oh yeah, also no story mode. Huge letdown for a brawl successor.

Third
Super Smash Bros N64 - 8/10

On every persons list, this always lies at the bottom, why? I played it on an emulator with my homie john and it was great, certainly better than melee. And it’s not like it’s nostalgia or anything, the first smash game I played wasn’t this (it was melee) but ey! This game was great!
It seems plain by today’s standards, but it still remains intense and fun without becoming unfair or broken like melee.

Second
Smash Bros Ultimate - 9/10

As much as I hate the switch as a console, I’ll be honest here, this game is amazing. It has good music, tons of characters, looks amazing, and above all, has the best fighting gameplay of the series. Even though it’s not my number 1, I will say that it has better gameplay than it. A huge complaint with most of the smash games (all except melee, which dosent even count) is that they all were kind of slow gameplay wise. Yet, this game isint fast to the point of being broken, but not slow to the point of being sluggish. So credit where it’s due, this is s great game.
Also, even though there was no story mode, world of light was the next best thing.

Fuck you
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - 10/10

Okay listen up, the gameplay is slow, I’ll admit. The game doesn’t work if you play competitively on regular speed. I understand that.
Now YOU understand something; Brawl is the greatest Smash game ever for one key reason: atmosphere.
The rugged character models look amazingly intense. It’s almost as if my testosterone increases when I look at it. The intense and yet beautiful music also adds to the intensity to it all. Brawl’s music is MILES ahead of the other games and has one of the best OSTs ever.
The intense atmosphere combined with the music work especially well in Brawls key advantage: The Subspace Emissary. When I think Smash Bros, the first thing that comes to mind is the story mode. It is absolutely phenomenal.
As far as gameplay is concerned, the slow pace actually works well in story mode. For regular mode, the fast Smash setting in special brawl corrects the speed. Making the most intense and thrilling fights I’ve ever played in smash.
Brawl is the best, it sucks that so many people like to shit on it.

Yeet.

Brawl isn't that slow. In terms of animation attacks it's about the same as other games.
(see here: )
But there are some elements that make it appear slow (like lower gravity). Gravity and speed can be changed in Special Brawl, but doesn't the speed change make it way to fast? I think the option is between 1/2x or 2x (?)

The adventure mode in Brawl should really have been worked on (to make it franchise-based; less character choice per individual level so that each level can be specific to a character's strength's and weaknesses).

Don't agree with your list but I give it a like anyway ;)

To me the fast smash is on the money, probably just cause I’m so used to it.

I guess what you said about the adventure mode is right, but like i said i mainly like it for the atmosphere of it all. Even if the gameplay is flawed, it’s called story mode for a reason.
 
I don't agree with your list so I must be wrong!

Also shouldn't "Story mode" be called "Adventure mode"? Calling it Story mode implies Brawl has a story or plot but all I see is just different interactions within cutscenes, giving a reason to fight the monsters with no cohesive narrative or plot to call it a story.
 
@Davidchao23

It is a more fitting term for it I guess.
There isint much of a narrative, it’s just cool to see everyone running around a continent and how they all have intersections with each other.
Not really a story, but how can you resist?
