The WORST Smash Bros. Game

A man of culture with the Shin.Megami Tensei I shirt.

You know it’s the worst when this was my first smash game, I haven’t even played brawl (yet don’t kill me, I’ll get to it eventually), and I still think sm4sh sucks ass.

I always thought Smash 4 was a play on Smash for 3DS and Wii U more than them explicitly being the 4th game in the series

The two things that give Smash 4 Identity-Smash Run and Master Core

Seriously, There is so much potential with Master Core, He's basically Smash's Gigas in that there is no idea what Master Core is, what he represents, or where he came from.

At first i was like "oh this video's too long i'm not gonna watch it entirely" and then proceeded to watch everything. You're that good.

Finally, someone who doesn’t think Brawl is the worst!

custom moves are the coolest and needs to come back

ultimate is just the deluxe version of this game and theres nothing u can say to prove me wrong

This game was great on the 3DS. I can't lie, I was amazingly impressed that they managed to make the game handle as good as it did. It's a shame that the online wasn't that good during the time

Honestly, most of these criticisms of Smash 4 are worse in Ultimate. Like, Smash 4 actually has modes unlike Ultimate. Also “it’s too random” makes no sense. Do you not get why rouge likes are popular. It being the same every time makes it boring. This is why Ultimate’s Classic fails because it is the same every time. You play it once and never again. Being random helps replayability. Praising Spirits at all is insane to me. Trophies, even if being model ripe, are better than PNGs ripped from Google.

The customization one is a bit silly. Outside of some of the oddities like more wind boxes, this kind of feature was never going to be that in depth because Smash 4 had 48 characters. They were going to overlap or be basic a lot of the time.

Also, showing World of Light as an example of good single player has me question your sanity. Imagine bitching about Smash 4’s modes when that abomination exist. It is an “illusion” of an Adventure mode

I'm sorry, but Smash 4 for 3ds and wii u is not the worst in the series. I'm sorry, but I got the 3ds and smash 4 on xmas. Yes, I argee that maybe the collectable and a little of the mode aren't as good, but the heart of smash has always been the multi-player and regular fighting mode. The fact that you complain about this, I wonder what would happen if they made a smash 6, and then you would go hate smash ultimate. Overall I will respectfully disagree with your opinion

Not even worse than melee

I totally agree with you because Smash for 3DS is like a completely new game while Smash for Wii U is just the dumbed down version of Smash 64 but both of them still suck.

Another thing that irritated me about the collectibles was how the loot system worked. Depending on the mode you play, if you lose even ONCE, you randomly lose some of your stuff (and you could continue, but at the risk that you'll lose even more should you lose again). This is especially irritating when you got that last damn Mii hat you needed to collect, while also having 3 doubles of that custom move you already collected...... oh boy, I wonder which one's gonna get shuttered off as soon as I get a Game Over (hint: it's not the one I have literally no use for...... in all seriousness, they should've at the very least made those stupid doubles act as a guaranteed buffer against this crap, but alas).

Also, you never really touched on the Challenges..... I mean, they're a bit of a subset of the collectibles, which you did cover, but I'd say they're still a bit of a topic in themselves, especially since completing them is probably the only substantial thing to strive for in Smash for WiiU's god-awful single-player offering........ and even they suck. I mean, putting aside how absolutely insane the top row is (seriously, they manage to make Brawl's Intense Boss Battles challenge look like a cakewalk, and some of them call for you to practically main specific characters like Lucina), quite a few of the challenges are just tedious as hell. I mean, I don't mind completing a mode on the highest difficulty. I don't mind completing a mode at least once using every character (even when the roster had ballooned to around 50 characters by this point in the series, plus it's something you'd need to do to get their trophies anyway). But doing a mode like All-Star on Hard or Classic on 7.0 with every character? Yeah, screw off with that. I guess the one silver lining to a lot of this is that not every challenge is gatekeeping a Trophy or something, least of all most of the top row (they typically just give out a cash prize, or a specific badge that, while not the most common, could just spawn randomly). Still, completing them does give an amusing photo, plus the general satisfaction some people may have from being able to 100% a game (though granted, some people's idea of "completion" may vary, especially when there's a Milestone that calls for literally 1 million matches).

"Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U feels a bit messy and soulless. It’s missing something."

Yeah, the Ice Climbers. If the 3DS' CPU wasn't shit...

O loved this game in 3DS

Oliver Grant is gonna end up like TJ Henry Yoshi, apologetic of his mistake and loving the fame it brought him

the WORST part about custom moves for me is with samus, like, THEY HAD THE ENTIRE PRIME SERIES, WHY DIDN'T THEY TAKE SHIT FROM THERE

idc what anybody thinkgs, i love smash 4 so much because it was one of the first games i ever got

I always had an issue with the gameplay and pacing more than anything else.
During the time when it was cool to praise Smash4 for fixing Brawl, and to hate on Brawl for not being Melee.... I... still always thought that Smash4 felt WAY slower paced than Brawl..
Yeah Brawl didn't have combos because people could act out of hitstun, but if you hit your opponent you then had an instant choice on how to act next and how to react to the opponent acting out of hitstun... In Smash4 it was more a case of hitting the opponent, and yes the opponent could no longer act out of hitstun woo.. but you yourself also had to wait a bit before you could move...

I would say the complete opposite. I think sm4sh is among the BEST smash games. A lot of your points are valid though, but the gameplay is actually really good. The trophies aren't that super awesome, but it's better then PNG images. But yea there isn't a lot of modes but they put tons of care into this game and they did a lot more with it then brawl. And custom moves are awesome, even though a big portion of them are pretty stale, at least they were there. And also, the menu UI is beautiful(even though it is a difficult to navigate through unless you memorize it). The dev's really didn't have a choice for the name too, because you named it like "Super Smash Bros Universe" and "Super Smash Bros Dimension", it'll sound like they're completely different games. But if you named them both "Super Smash Bros Allstars" it'll sound like they are the same exact game but they aren't. But I gotta say, this game doesn't have a whole lot to it. But atleast its graphics aren't dull and boring!(cough cough ultimate cough cough brawl)

I think it would be cool if All Star Mode in the modern smash games was broken up into multiple gauntlets for each respective smash entry, with each gauntlet containing only the newcomers from each entry (and maybe a notable boss from each game?)

Smash 64 was the first Melee is the longest lasting competitive brawl has the best single player and ultimate has every character smash 4 has no reason too go back too

Melee isn't better than smash 4 melee was made by hal laboratory who makes Kirby games smash 4 had people from soul Calibur working on smash 4 on top of that we got Ryu so that's irrelevant. Every stage can be put on form and if you wanna more fun on full potential match ups to have a dragon Ball z like fighting because that doesn't exist in melee put form on all the maps

redditor aura

Wii U classic mode did have some short 2D platforming sections that made use of some of the smash run enemies!

Far from a saving grace, but that's the only 2d platforming sections on that version, so worth noting, I guess?

As...not great as Smash 4 on 3DS is, I just can't bring myself to hate it. It was my childhood game because I never owned a wii u, despite desperately wanting one. I thought the game was so cool, and my favorite stage was Rainbow Road.

the 3DS may have held back much of the potential of the overall game, but I still think it was worth it to give the game portability in the pre-switch era. I had so much fun bringing my 3DS to school everyday and playing smash during lunch. although it helped that I had people to play with locally, which i understand that not everyone did.

Smash WiiU had the custom moves.

Thought it was midlee for a second

Welcome to another episode of "It ain't that deep"

Smash for Wii U is the only smash game that you really can go back to. Smash 64 people do come back to, smash Bros. Melee perfected what the first one did and it's still being used in competitions today.
Super smash Brothers brawl flawed fighting mechanics but best story mode. Smash 4 for 3DS the first one that was. handheld and the 3D It's not bad. Smash for Wii u is only good for modding

okay it isn’t fair to soyjack at a subscribe picture, it’s inexplicably one of my favorite memes so i was compelled

This guy looks, sounds, and acts like the average redditor

I love this game to death. It really isn’t soulless imo because Mega man and Pac-Man being able to beat Ryu and cloud is amazing. I personally think ultimate felt soulless because of how spirits were made. Just a picture not even flavor text. Or how the online was free and actually connected well compared to now. Ultimately the 1st smash game you play is what decides which one is the best. Which is why Smash 4 is my favorite. Do I care what some 30 year old man child says about my opinion? No because it just doesn’t matter and is nothing to get mad over. Every smash game has something to enjoy and is just an amazing celebration of characters people love.

I just got into Ultimate and in random stanges vs AI I had to turn off many stages, many you shown came from Wii u, explains so much

man i wonder if this guy likes scott the woz

yes. it is the worst one by a mile. The fighting is shallower than brawl and the single player is less substantial than any other game aside from 64 (which makes up for this with stellar gameplay)

Damn what did Oliver do

yooo i have that same smt shitt

Fantastic video. I think you summed up my thoughts on why Smash 4 is the worst entry in the series super well

"The strongest lineup of new additions to any game in the series"
No Ridley or K. Rool? Cmon

the only way Sakurai can bring back these old modes back like individual target stages is to hire a larger crew that work seperately for each specific mode. That is if he wants to keep his giant roster

The real reason this one isnt good: Its not melee

Great Cave Offensive makes sense. You cant kill them by percent because you cant get them dead with all the obstacles in the way. Lava is better

After looking through basically every single smash Bros song in the soundtrack I came across a pattern, some of my favorite songs came either from Brawl or Ultimate.... A lot of ones I genuinely hated came from Smash 4. It's not that there weren't songs from it I loved, it's just for every song I loved in smash 4 I had about 7 or above I loved from other games, and a majority of smash 4 songs I liked weren't even originally from the game, and all of the ones I didn't like (with the exception of one) were all original remixes from Smash 4.

Honestly in my opinion Smash 4 has the worst soundtrack line up out of all smash games, and for best it's personally a tie between Brawl and Ultimate.
