    Imagine beating someone so bad that you get scared that they might never play a fighting game again, and it’s so paralyzing that you make a multi-million dollar franchise.

    The reason Ness was added was because of the great Satoru Iwata. He was heavily involved in Earthbound's development and he was one of the producers of Smash.

    It should be noted that Smash 64 had no localization plans initially, given that all the early preview coverage only mentioned a Japan release. It was only after the game succeeded in Japan that Nintendo changed their mind. Nintendo of America originally planned to release a N64 Tetris game as their April 1999 title.

      We would have never seen so many different and beloved (or hated lol) characters in the fighting game series that holds a special place in so many hearts (for Joker from Persona 5 to steal), including mine. We would have not been hyped for SSB newcomer trailers and wouldn't have wonder which characters would ever get into Smash. We would have never seen certain channels thrive off the franchise (NOT by doing content farm videos, those suck) by getting millions of views on videos about the game franchise. It's hard to imagine what life would look like if Super Smash Bros never became a thing. In another timeline, there would be videos saying "The Nintendo Fighting Game That Never Came to Be" or had a similar game that may not have come from Nintendo become that timeline's equivalent of Smash. It's...hard to imagine what that timeline would look like.

    You forgot to mention that Sakurai choose Samus as a playable fighter for Smash 64 because he wanted a female character for Smash 64 as there wasn't any when developing characters and Samus was an easy pick as she was a playable female protagonist that had a lot of moves to draw from her game franchise Metroid

      So...in a way, Terry is one of the reasons Smash Bros even exists. So as a thank you from Sakuri, he got an invitation to Smash Ultimate. It's honestly a bit heartwarming to me. Sakuri owed a big favor to Terry because he helped with the idea of Smash bros becoming a thing, and that favor was getting him into Smash. Wow...just wow.

    While I agree that the gameplay in Smash 64 is too unrefined, and I find Brawl too floaty (to the point that the glide mechanic is basically useless for me, as I'll either survive or die whether or not I attempt to use it), I find that Melee plays too heavy and fast (and it's not like I could ever figure out how to wavedash, anyway). In my opinion, it's Smash 4 and Ultimate that provide the best core gameplay in the series.
