Smash's Strangest Rivalry

  • In 2016, a massively unexpected and heated rivalry sparked between two groups within the same scene, over possibly the most bizarre reason in Smash history: Which breakfast restaurant was superior, IHOP, or Denny's.
    Despite the ridiculous concept, the rivalry ended up being legendary within the scene, consuming it until it eventually reached a boiling point, with it all culminating in an epic final crew battle that nobody would have expected went on to become one of the greatest that Smash has ever seen.
    This is a video documenting everything about the origins of how this rivalry came about, and how the crew battle eventually went down.
    Thanks for watching!
    Absolutely massive thanks to Heyseuss, FingerStripes, CutMet, AsumSaus, Ludvix, Motobug, the AZPM scene, and everyone else who helped me with this video and helped me get back into making vids again!
    I appreciate it so much

    Also tbf this was sitting in my Watch Later list. Just got to it now. Ugh so many good memories with Project M. I loved playing as Pajama Ness.
    Personal anecdote: I am team IHOP because my stage crew and me along with some actors tried to go to Dennys after a show one time to mix things up, but then they turned us away. So we went to our trusted IHOP who will never turn away 30 teenagers at 10 PM.
