Episode 23: Show Me Your Moves! [Super Smash Bros.]

We crash, mash, and clash our way into our first game on the N64!  It's Super Smash Bros., the fighting game classic that defied genre tropes and created a rather avid fanbase.  Amidst all the furiously flying fighters, there are glimpses of what was to become of this series.  Let's duke it out and see how far up the pile this one lands!



KO our Download!

(01:30) Geremy's awkward family moments.  Also, Zach might be building bears.

(05:30) What we've been playing.  Alex plays games!  Lots of ACCF recently.  KSP's pretty fun.  Speaking of space, so's FTL.  1080 is a snowboarding game of some sort.

(14:40) Fortune Street!  I link to a review, but I don't think such a thing can possibly do it justice.  It's pretty cheap on Amazon, so if you have some friends that want to play Monopoly without the suck, the hosts recommend it.

(16:40) Smash Bros.! Surprisingly, it's one of the few crossover game.  Also the brainchild of Masahiro Sakurai.

(21:00) The roster!  The story of Falcon.

(24:00) There are unique target challenges and platform challenges for every character.  It's pretty cool.

(28:30) We talk about Melee for a bit.  It's generally better, to the extent that this game feels like a prototype for it.  It's a pretty good case for sequels.  We later claim it obsoleted this game.

(34:20) Just... why?

(37:20) That shadow eyeball thing from Kirby.

(39:30) People don't like the shotty.


Ever wanted to know how you could upgrade from being Mega?  How about Mega Man 2?
