I don't know why I bought this. This has got to be the stupidest purchase of the year for me. I knew I wasn't going to want to play it, yet I bought it anyways. It's totally fine, and it's definitely better than the first attempt. After 5 hours, I realized I didn't want to play it at all anymore. It's one of the better attempts at a Smash clone. Probably second only to PlayStation All Stars, so far. I think it just annoyed me immediately that everyone online was trying to emulate Melee gameplay. Seeing people wavedash around pissed me off LOL. I feel like everyone playing this game was coming directly from playing Melee and it rubbed me the wrong way. I have no desire to play any more of it. The single player portion didn't intrigue me, either.

The thing is, I don't care about almost any of these characters. That's kinda the main reason Smash is so beloved. It's also why I loved PSASBR so much. These attempts at a Smash clone have to consist of video game-centric characters, or I'm probably not going to care.
