Definitely a nostalgic game for me.
Despite the nostalgia, this game is pretty weird.
Compared to Smash 4 or Ultimate this game feels a bit sluggish mostly thanks to tripping. Tripping is single-handily the worst mechanic ever introduced in a smash game.
I know it was implemented to prevent wave-dashing but it negatively affects this game's movement as it can trigger even when walking. Also that fact that it triggers randomly makes this mechanic annoying for both casual and competitive players.
The realistic artstyle is a unique choice but I think it holds up somewhat well.
Subspace Emissary is a good single player campaign but I do think people oversell the mode. While the cutscenes are cool and the gameplay is solid, it gets repetitve after the novelty of the mode wears off.
