Played again at my local shop had a much better time

Fun, but overhyped. Single player is a slog and the controls are iffy.

Accidentally the GOAT of Smash Bros. fighting games because the skill ceiling is mind-bogglingly high. For us mere mortals, it's an improvement in every way on the N64 predecessor but mostly superseded by later entries. That said, if I had a Gamecube handy, I'd still go back and play this on occasion.

Unlocking some characters is ass but the game itself is fun.
