Played it a ton when it came out back in middle school, but this is probably the only Smash game that almost no one will ever come back to (at least not me).
It doesn't have the novelty and charm of 64, the fast gameplay and technicality of Melee, nowhere near the amount of casual fun and singleplayer content Brawl, and Ultimate is miles more fun in all areas on top of basically being what this game should have been in the first place.
Like bruh what do you have to go back to with this, smash tour ?
It's not even that horrible of a game aside from the shit balancing that happened with the last few patches, but it's so mediocre. Like everything just feels unmemorable somehow: the intro and main theme that are so memorable in other entries are just plain forgettable here, the game doesn't have a particularly appealing style or anything...
The gameplay is better than Brawl (not a high bar) but is so uninteresting to watch nowadays that I wonder how I could handle it at the time.
I don't even HATE the game, it still has a lot of content that I enjoyed as a kid and I still hold it near to my heart for the many memories it gave me and my friends, but I can't see anyone ever coming back to it for more than 5 or 10 minutes before pullin out Melee or Ultimate instead honestly.
