Congratulate me, I remember Super Smash Bros. Edited by Sam Essig and Scott Wozniak Main Channel: @ScottTheWoz Twitter: / scottthewoz Facebook: / scottthewoz Instagram: / scottthewoz
Day one of Smash Ultimate, I was over at a friend's house. He had invited so many people over. We ordered pizzas and the pizza guy noticed we were playing the new smash and my friend asked if he wanted to play a round. He took his hat, off jumped in and played. That was a fucking great moment.
Thanks. I was thinking that too. I always wondered if maybe Nintendo suggested the new rating to ESRB so games like Smash Brothers wouldn't end up rated T.
The Everyone is Here trailer still might be the best one Nintendo's ever done, I don't think anything will match the feeling I got when the triumphant music cut off and Snake blew up everyone's predictions for the game
As a fellow Brawl kid, yeah it's one of my favorites too. No bigger feeling of nostalgia than hearing Fox yell "come on" out of a crusty Wiimote speaker
Brawl has so much more charm and nostalgia than the other games. I have the best memories of playing through Subspace Emissary with my younger brother. When you’re young, you don’t think about the core gameplay because you can only compare it to other games you have
One of my teachers actually played Smash Bros competitively before he started teaching so it’s become pretty regular that my class plays Smash Bros. In fact, next week we’re holding a tournament against another teachers class, wild stuff
I was in 6th grade when Brawl came out and my dad managed to get a copy two days early. The absolute rush of playing the most anticipated game of, up to that point, my life remains unmatched
I had a similar experience when my friend's Dad, who was in the Royal Navy and stationed in the United States, brought a copy of Pokemon Gold back to the UK months ahead of the European release. Given that this was before the internet was in common use, it was absolutely wild to see all these brand new Pokemon.
"I grew up with Brawl. Obviously... I don't give a damn about standards." Being a fan of the competitive side of Smash and hearing Scott talk about everything else is a really weird experience. Whenever he mentions how much he likes trophies, I remember; "oh yeah, those exist".
Yeah I've been competitive in all the Smash games for almost 10 years now and it's kind of fun/interesting to hear someone else's purely casual experience. Puts it into perspective how niche the competitive scene is in comparison to everyone else who's a fan of the series.
You probably forgot the games ahd any other things besides 1v1 and legal stages only. Ok I’m joking but I’m kinda into competitive smash too but I still dabble in the other modes and side stuff.
Honestly go back and revisit the rest of the game. It's kinda magical all of the stuff the devs managed to pack into them. I _still_ revisit certain Spirit battles because they're just really damn clever.
I used to be super into the competitive scene when Ultimate released, but now I've mostly converted back to the casual side, only playing with items on free for alls with my family. I think both competitive and casual smash are awesome in their own way and it sucks that a lot of people seem think you can only be a fan of one or the other.
There was a big (fake) rumor from the SSB4 speculations days that actually said the 3DS version would have been called Memories and the Wii U version Universe.
i'll never forget simon being leaked the night before the 8/8 direct via the smash ultimate website's music section accidentally adding the castlevania 2 medley early that's still the most exciting reveal trailer for me :)
Ok but the fact it STILL did not spoil Richter made me pop tf off during the trailer. Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night are by far my favorite Castlevania games and I never would have guessed that pull in a century.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the BEST Super Smash Bros. videogame because of Wario & I love the realistic artstyle & loved how realistic Wario's farts are & hated how the future Super Smash Bros made Wario's farts look like cloudy popcorn.
I remember playing brawl with my cousin as kids and he'd pick Pit. He was convinced that when I hit him he was healing because the percent went up and Pit was an angel, therefore he could not take damage only heal
17:20 Good god, I was thinking about that exact video as he was talking about playing Brawl with a single Wii Remote. It's kinda cool knowing that he and I probably watched it around the same time as one another back then. Even at the time I knew he was tripping, the Nunchuk combo was obviously better.
Had so many memories of Super Smash Bros including with Brawl as one of the first Wi-Fi games that I played with friends that I am close to this day and watching the Ultimate E3 2018 conference with them during our meetup with all of us are hyped when it's revealed that everyone is here :D
See if child me noticed that warning I may have been a little more prepared when I excitedly unlocked the secret final boss for the first time. Glad I didn't though, makes for a funnier story now when I explain my current love for strange, vaguely heretical creatures.
Melee was my very first Nintendo game. Nintendo fans at the time had never heard of Marth and Roy, meanwhile I didn't even know who Mario and Pikachu were.
I got into Nintendo with the announcement of the Switch, so I only have personal memories of Ultimate, but damn, what memories. I remember everything from the announcement, to the long awaited release date, all the hype from the trailers, and then the DLC fighters... man, I'll always treasure those memories, it was great
I am particularly allergic to the concept of dorks talking about their experience with Smash Bros. The reason I’m still here is because Scott is not a dork.
I remember playing smash ultimate with my cousin and him saying “lucas is the type of kid who thinks blue fire is cold” i dont know why that stuck with me but its so funny
The Smash Bros series is 1000% nostalgic for me and it all started with Melee as a child (playing it at a friend’s house then asking for my parents to buy it for me), missing the hype train leading up to Brawl but I’ve been obsessing over the series since Wii U/3DS from announcement till release till now
1:01:40 this reminds me of how mu family is like "Oh you use computers all the time, can you fix my pc?" My response is "I use a microwave everyday, I'd have no idea how to fix one"
I have so many special memories of this series. Playing all afternoons with my friends with Brawl. Speculating all day long on SSB4. The magical Everyone is Here and playable Ridley wave of Ultimate. This series accompanied me from middle school to my first job, it is kind of crazy, and it really influenced my life, especially me becoming a Nintendo fan. Sometimes I remember fondly those times and I wish I could tell myself I was living the good old days there.
The N64 Smash Bros was the game that I played at lot with friends back in middle school. Melee was amazing, and big part of my high school life, playing it at birthday parties and holidays! Brawl was alright, but I had fun memories, played it at a college dorm and even we had tournaments with other students, and my library even had a Wii and projected the game in a event room, and they done that with Mario Kart Wii for younger kids. The fourth game was really fun, mostly the 3DS version was a game I played while traveling, I played it on my lunch break and even my friends who had their own 3DS systems! And Ultimate is my favorite, I play it with my family, my wife bought me the game during Christmas because she wanted to play it!
The best memories I had with Smash was definitely the 2013-2014 era with the hype leading to Smash 4. It was such a blast during that time, and I'll always treasure the memories with it during my middle school years. Also, Smash 4 was how I started to watch Etika, and his reactions were the best ever. He still will be missed.
Back in high school, there used to be a classroom that had a Nintendo 64 that they let us play pretty much whenever we wanted. Pretty much every lunch break and sometimes after school, we would drop by and play Super Smash Bros. Super chill of them and we made a lot of my fun memories there. There used to be a senior named Cerdric who would occasionally drop by and absolutely demolish us. Even 3v1 we would still get crushed 😂
How to tell us you didn’t grow up with an n64 without telling us you didn’t grow up with an n64 (though the real giveaway is that he likes Sunshine…) …for those of us that booted up Super Mario 64 by Christmas of ‘96 and then later rented, bought, or otherwise played this game when it was released? It was VERY “gritty”. Kid-Friendly Nintendo is letting me take Link and stab Luigi in his stupid face… doesn’t get much grittier than that in an age where just seeing a 3-Dimensional Character (even on a 2D plane… sometimes a literal plane ✈️) was mind blowingzzz
I cried a few times watching this video. Video games mean so much to me, so many of my best memories were with a video game, and I hate that as I get older gaming seems to stagnate.
Man people seems to never give a shite about move customization in Smash WiiU and 3DS I LOVED it so much. I only played the 3DS version but man I miss it so much.
So I was like…REALLY obsessed with Mario as a kid. Just everything Mario. On the DS I had, New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart DS, Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Party DS, Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Mario & Sonic at the Winter Games (literally every Mario DS game was a banger can we talk about that). On the Wii I had Super Mario Galaxy 2, one of my all time favorites with Wii Sports Resort. And I would go on the Mario Wiki & just look at every single page from characters to enemies to games all of that. But there was one thing about the pages that always caught my interest. There was a section with the character on some sort of gold platform and a description under “Super Smash Bros”, and it stood out because usually Mario was all bright & stuff to me but once I got to those sections suddenly everyone was all detailed & dull & had these serious expressions & poses. It always caught my interest but I never understood what it was. One day I just randomly clicked on the link to the “Super Smash Bros Brawl” page and blown away wasn’t even the word. I was introduced to this new game with all these Mario characters, but they were standing alongside others that just left me in awe at how cool they looked, even if I didn’t know most of them. I knew the Pokémon characters because i watched the show on Cartoon Network, & I just happened to know who ROB was because of Mario Kart DS, but I was never introduced to Zelda or Kirby as a kid. I then dived deeper into research on the game, & soon found out that this was bigger than what I ever thought. Like I knew that THIS was THE Nintendo game, & I just had to have it in my possession. Then one fateful day my neighbors were having a garage sale and I was hanging out with their son. I walked across the table & there it was. Super Smash Bros Brawl. You ever have those games where you think they’re so cool but you never actually owned, played, or even seen in real life? I never expected to actually see this game’s box & disc with my eyes. The way I DASHED back to my grandparents house & asked them for $10 because I knew this was my only chance. I was able to get it, said F everybody, went back home & finally ran the game I’ve been seeing so much about. I still vividly remember seeing the intro for the first time. Just that first shot of all the characters looking at the sun would’ve been enough, but they just kept going. Mario has NEVER looked more badass than when he hit that pose. I saw Link for the first time & thought wow he looks cool. I remember thinking Kirby was a girl because pink/cute=girl in a kid’s mindset but he still looked pretty cool to me, just being introduced to all these characters alongside my favorite series was just ugh. Then I played it and my life changed. I was able to catch on pretty quick. I started off as Mario because duh but then started to experiment with the other characters I wasn’t too familiar with. I would just play each character & see how their movesets worked. I especially liked seeing how the Mario characters played because you never got to play them like this before. Lucas always stood out to me because in the midst of all these wacky & serious fighters, he was just a boy, & so was I. He quickly became my main. Seeing all the cool stages, & putting together that the symbols next to them & the characters meant they were from that specific series. I was confused as to why Yoshi, DK, & Wario had unique symbols from the other Mario characters, as I didn’t know they had their own spinoff series. Either way, this was how I learned about other series within Nintendo and latched onto basically every character. I played so much I eventually unlocked everyone just from VS matches alone. Then one random day I decided to click solo & saw a cool looking “Adventure Mode”. I was like ahh neat & opened it. No prior knowledge of Subspace Emissary might I add, & bro…..literally what is there to say?? Seeing all these characters who I’ve grown to love in this game I’ve grown to love now in a connected story with all of them teaming up against the villains, seeing all the different teamups & conflicts & who would fight who & who would get along with who, seeing the Mario cast alongside characters I was introduced to thinking yeah that makes sense……this story mode quite literally had me jittering. I would decline hanging out with friends after school or on the weekends because I knew I had to grind in Subspace. Ready to find out what the next cutscene was. Going full battle mode traversing through the levels & beating the bosses. Collecting those trophies that first got me interested in this series, Just….being there. Unforgettable. It wasn’t like any game-any THING I’ve ever experienced before & has yet to top. Like to say it was the coolest thing ever is a complete understatement. It was a staple in my life. I am a brawl defender forever & ever. Of course my love for Mario & Smash Bros grew exponentially & I continued to get new installments, but it was this game that really influenced my life.
I remembered that I was so hyped for the game, I begged my mother to gift me the Smash Bros Limited Edition for Christmas. But since she tends to not gift me games on Christmas + the fact that the Limited Editions were already double the price, I doubted she would give one to me. She even adressed me on it like a week before Christmas saying something like "Hey, I can try and get you that Edition, but it will not probably be on Christmas". Then on Christmas Day, I only had one present: The Super Smash Bros Ultimate Limited Edition. Somehow, she managed to find it for the regular Price in a store on time for Christmas. I was so happy and this is to date the best Chrsitmas present that I have ever received :,)
11:00 I also find Brawl to have the best cover, it feels more like a composition with how they are lined up and Mario, Link, and Pikachu looking back specifically. They have some more subtle poses in play which makes them look cooler as opposed to Smash 4 and Ultimate where they're all jumping at you in a battle pose.
Hopefully we get that official Smash Ultimate Scott The Woz episode soon. But overall, Smash Bros has always been my go-to multiplayer game for me, and I have many memories playing all of these games, and will continue to do so for years to come. Ultimate is my most favorite Smash game of all time, but Melee is where my journey began. And yes, I played all Smash games.
It's pretty neat hearing someone else having a similar experience of watching a lot of RUclips videos about video games and knowing a lot about them, before i even owned any video games until sophomore year of jogh school. Also getting all my gaming news from IGN too
Melee was my first smash game so I have lots of nostalgia for it and remembering the times before I discovered competitive melee, it was fun just playing casually with items on and playing all the different modes. The speed of melee just made it extremely fun regardless of playing casually or competitively. When I got brawl, I remember thinking “why is this so slow” and I lowkey just wanted to stop playing but I shortly adjusted and grew to love it a lot as well. Smash 4 was the first one I was there from reveal to release also and the buildup was incredible. The week it released I went to every store in my city taking the city bus and it was sold out everywhere. Was only 13 at the time so I wasn’t familiar with pre ordering or buying things online at that point, just walking into stores and hoping it was in stock. Got it about a week later after immediately going from school to Best Buy, and I played that for a good year from that day on. With Ultimate I was more prepared, and went to Walmart at my local mall as soon as they opened and got it. Smash bros is surely my favourite game series oat, and I’m glad I got to experience all these moments as I always love reflecting on it all
I'm with you there Scott of the smash series being very dear to me. I started from the original N64 game as a kid and kept getting each one. It's crazy seeing this series grow into what it has today. My personal favorite will probably always be melee but ultimate really is the ultimate game. Smash 3ds was one of two games I ever bought with my own working money so that's also why it's very special to me Weirdly enough the only smash game I didn't get until way later was the Wii U version of smash 4
For a while my main memories with smash bros were unlocking Dr. Mario, Luigi, Jigglypuff, and occasionally Falco or Young Link in Melee on repeat because of my only GameCube memory card being a MadCatz one which deleted its save data every week or so. I was like 10 or something at the time, so I still had fun, but it took me over 5 years to get a proper official memory card and finally unlock the full cast.
Man, I remember the whiplash i felt going from melee to brawl as a kid. I didn't play melee completively, but damn the gameplay felt so much more fluid. It took a while to get used to brawl's molasses physics.
the nostalgia i have for the first one is huge. i didn't own my own copy until later but i remember renting it a whole lot. and then i owned the sequels as they came out good times
I got into Smash after seeing my cousin playing Melee when I went to visit him, and it’s definitely been a series near and dear to my heart since. Brawl is my personal favorite due to how much it brought to the series and its robust adventure mode making it feel like you were playing an official fanfiction, but in terms of polish and sheer quality I’d say Ultimate takes the cake, even if I stopped playing it like back in 2023 due to my friends dropping it outside of occasionally playing with family.
I still remember before I had unrestricted internet access when Smash 4 came out. I thought that game was the coolest sh*t but I didn't have a Wii U. I did have a Wii and my dad took me to a retro game store where I found Brawl. He was willing to buy it for me but since Smash 4 was just called "Super Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U" I thought that meant it was the first smash game since it didn't have a subtitle. So when I saw Brawl had a subtitle and was on an earlier console I thought it was a bootleg and passed it up and I still hate myself for that
The buildup to smash ultimate is one of the happiest parts of my childhood. This game is how I got close with my one of my siblings before I left for college/they moved across the country. I am very thankful for that. The first weekend this came out was exams week for my university and did I study? Nope! I played smash basically nonstop, and cut my way through a 60hr playthrough of WoL. Good times. Edit: I'll add that I've been playing smash since I learned how to hold an N64 controller, so this series has been core to me and my siblings for basically my whole life.
I started with Melee and have played every game onwards. I’d say my fondest memories were with Brawl just because I had everyone playing it back then. Also, I was in middle school and didn’t have any real worries back then lol
I remember getting in Melee as a little kid and initially thinking it would play like Pac-Man Fever, which I played all the time before then. So yeah thanks for unlocking that memory, Scott.
Melee was one of those games I loved but was never really popular with my family but when Brawl came through me and the cousins were playing EVERY weekend together . The storyline . The adventure mode . The multi players matches . introduction of the FINAL SMASH
Fortunate to have played the Smash games in order of release at the time they were released. I will never forget how insanely blown away I was by Melees physics engine, the speed and weight. And what a giant dissapointment Brawl was to play when compared to Melee....Brawl is by far the worst by the cheer gameplay, but it does make up for it with a ton of content. FYI we continued playing Melee regularly until 2008 when Brawl came out, and even THEN we'd still pop it in from time to time that entire year. By early 2010 the Mango hype was coming up in Melee (I'm Socal local) so we switched back and went from there, scene still thrives. :)
the reason Melee is rated T is because E10+ just wasn’t a rating until 2005 i know this because Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 was going for the T rating until E10+ rating was introduced and they pivoted to that
If explaining Jojo part 3 doesn’t come out soon or doesn’t happen in general I will start a riot. You don’t want that on your conscience do you Mr.Wozniak?
Smash4 era was so fun and such a good time in my life if I could back and just replay those moments I def would it was badass it will always hold a special place in my heart
It's wild how young Scott is. I have wayyyyy more memories with 64 and melee than brawl. Brawl and wii u I didn't play that much. But melee we played all the time in high school even when brawl came out we just kept playing melee cuz we had already snuck the gamecube in school
I was also one of those weird people who mostly played Ultimate for the single player. I got all of the spirits as well, although I didn't keep up with that once they started releasing DLC characters. I enjoyed playing through World of Light. It's all I really needed from a smash bros single player adventure. Of course, we will always ask for more...more cutscenes, more custom enemies, custom stages (maybe with some platforming), more detailed overworld, etc. Given the budget they were working with though, I think spirits were a pretty smart way to at least evoke the feeling of fighting these hundreds of characters.
Imagine me saying this like Junior at the end of Madagascar 1. "Um, Audience? Don't you think we should tell Scott that the devs of Mr Nutz have been defunct for 26 years?"
Let me tell you the buildup to Smash Wii U and Ultimate was both exciting and painful the wait was killing me and as a teenager I was pretty damn anxious and just as much as an adult as I wanted to play them so badly the moment they released.
Sora's addition genuinely felt magical to me. My friend scoffed at that but the trailer really did feel like it was everything in spirit of both franchises. Also there is 1 hard rule for Smash when it comes to characters: They have to be from a game first.
i am indeed alergic, goodbye!

Awesome story!
E10+ didn’t exist until 2005 Scott, that’s why Melee is Teen
Yeah I was thinking the same thing lol probably too young to remember
Thanks. I was thinking that too. I always wondered if maybe Nintendo suggested the new rating to ESRB so games like Smash Brothers wouldn't end up rated T.
Injustice 1 was 15+ in Australia! Same with Goldeneye
Smash brawl rated T in 2008:
@@finngomezgamerI think that definitely deserved the teen rating tho
The Everyone is Here trailer still might be the best one Nintendo's ever done, I don't think anything will match the feeling I got when the triumphant music cut off and Snake blew up everyone's predictions for the game
I remember rushing home to watch the direct and watching the everyone was here trailer I was going nuts it was such a fun day
One of the best ever!

Scott mentioning the Irate Gamer was unexpected

Game dude guest appearance when?
Ghost Doctor?
Gate gamer was one of my first RUclipsrs I watched back in 2007
I’m waiting for Scott to reference GameLife, though that’s gonna be a hard-sale for him to reference…
i've always loved how Sakurai said "uh, no story mode because people share the videos online" and then SSB3DS got leaked like hell, even streamed.
It's gotten a little better, but I still get the impression sometimes that Nintendo's decision-makers dwell in a cobwebbed mausoleum
Scott putting all his smash games in the floor just to look at it like every Wednesday
If only you knew how he records his floor
If he sat down alongside the games he'd be floating
He's laying on his stomach and swinging his feet the entire time

Smells like cloudy popcorn too

That sounds like a good idea for a video right their. " IGN reviews Scott doesn't agree with."
Hearing Scott got Brawl advice from an Irate Gamer review and then learning he mained R.O.B. as a kid is a funny combo
Everyone Is Here was a absolute magical moment, and then they topped it off with Ridley, the ultimate Smash meme himself.
“I had Nickelodeon magazine” oh… I’m so sorry
Scott has NOT talked about Smash Bros. Ultimate at length
64 and Melee I dabbled in, but it was Brawl onwards where I really got into it had tons of fun with everything.

Never forget Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards has a Teen rated for blood and violence
See if child me noticed that warning I may have been a little more prepared when I excitedly unlocked the secret final boss for the first time.
Glad I didn't though, makes for a funnier story now when I explain my current love for strange, vaguely heretical creatures.

Brawl was alright, but I had fun memories, played it at a college dorm and even we had tournaments with other students, and my library even had a Wii and projected the game in a event room, and they done that with Mario Kart Wii for younger kids. The fourth game was really fun, mostly the 3DS version was a game I played while traveling, I played it on my lunch break and even my friends who had their own 3DS systems! And Ultimate is my favorite, I play it with my family, my wife bought me the game during Christmas because she wanted to play it!
Thank you SCATT - you keep me going

Super Smash Bros - I will never be this happy again
The best memories I had with Smash was definitely the 2013-2014 era with the hype leading to Smash 4. It was such a blast during that time, and I'll always treasure the memories with it during my middle school years.
Also, Smash 4 was how I started to watch Etika, and his reactions were the best ever. He still will be missed.
Back in high school, there used to be a classroom that had a Nintendo 64 that they let us play pretty much whenever we wanted. Pretty much every lunch break and sometimes after school, we would drop by and play Super Smash Bros. Super chill of them and we made a lot of my fun memories there. There used to be a senior named Cerdric who would occasionally drop by and absolutely demolish us. Even 3v1 we would still get crushed 😂

This is the most american Scott the Woz moment
50:24 That was unexpectedly well acted wtf
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the BEST Super Smash Bros. videogame ever.
How to tell us you didn’t grow up with an n64 without telling us you didn’t grow up with an n64 (though the real giveaway is that he likes Sunshine…)
…for those of us that booted up Super Mario 64 by Christmas of ‘96 and then later rented, bought, or otherwise played this game when it was released? It was VERY “gritty”. Kid-Friendly Nintendo is letting me take Link and stab Luigi in his stupid face… doesn’t get much grittier than that in an age where just seeing a 3-Dimensional Character (even on a 2D plane… sometimes a literal plane ✈️) was mind blowingzzz
Allergy season is a bitch!
Downloading videos of reviews and what-not is exactly the kind of thing I used to do too. This guy gets me.
I cried a few times watching this video. Video games mean so much to me, so many of my best memories were with a video game, and I hate that as I get older gaming seems to stagnate.
Brawl was the first game that wasn’t Rated E I was allowed to get as a kid never gonna forget it
Man people seems to never give a shite about move customization in Smash WiiU and 3DS I LOVED it so much. I only played the 3DS version but man I miss it so much.
So I was like…REALLY obsessed with Mario as a kid. Just everything Mario. On the DS I had, New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart DS, Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Party DS, Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Mario & Sonic at the Winter Games (literally every Mario DS game was a banger can we talk about that). On the Wii I had Super Mario Galaxy 2, one of my all time favorites with Wii Sports Resort. And I would go on the Mario Wiki & just look at every single page from characters to enemies to games all of that.
But there was one thing about the pages that always caught my interest. There was a section with the character on some sort of gold platform and a description under “Super Smash Bros”, and it stood out because usually Mario was all bright & stuff to me but once I got to those sections suddenly everyone was all detailed & dull & had these serious expressions & poses. It always caught my interest but I never understood what it was. One day I just randomly clicked on the link to the “Super Smash Bros Brawl” page and blown away wasn’t even the word. I was introduced to this new game with all these Mario characters, but they were standing alongside others that just left me in awe at how cool they looked, even if I didn’t know most of them. I knew the Pokémon characters because i watched the show on Cartoon Network, & I just happened to know who ROB was because of Mario Kart DS, but I was never introduced to Zelda or Kirby as a kid. I then dived deeper into research on the game, & soon found out that this was bigger than what I ever thought. Like I knew that THIS was THE Nintendo game, & I just had to have it in my possession. Then one fateful day my neighbors were having a garage sale and I was hanging out with their son. I walked across the table & there it was. Super Smash Bros Brawl. You ever have those games where you think they’re so cool but you never actually owned, played, or even seen in real life? I never expected to actually see this game’s box & disc with my eyes. The way I DASHED back to my grandparents house & asked them for $10 because I knew this was my only chance. I was able to get it, said F everybody, went back home & finally ran the game I’ve been seeing so much about.
I still vividly remember seeing the intro for the first time. Just that first shot of all the characters looking at the sun would’ve been enough, but they just kept going. Mario has NEVER looked more badass than when he hit that pose. I saw Link for the first time & thought wow he looks cool. I remember thinking Kirby was a girl because pink/cute=girl in a kid’s mindset but he still looked pretty cool to me, just being introduced to all these characters alongside my favorite series was just ugh. Then I played it and my life changed. I was able to catch on pretty quick. I started off as Mario because duh but then started to experiment with the other characters I wasn’t too familiar with. I would just play each character & see how their movesets worked. I especially liked seeing how the Mario characters played because you never got to play them like this before. Lucas always stood out to me because in the midst of all these wacky & serious fighters, he was just a boy, & so was I. He quickly became my main. Seeing all the cool stages, & putting together that the symbols next to them & the characters meant they were from that specific series. I was confused as to why Yoshi, DK, & Wario had unique symbols from the other Mario characters, as I didn’t know they had their own spinoff series. Either way, this was how I learned about other series within Nintendo and latched onto basically every character. I played so much I eventually unlocked everyone just from VS matches alone.
Then one random day I decided to click solo & saw a cool looking “Adventure Mode”. I was like ahh neat & opened it. No prior knowledge of Subspace Emissary might I add, & bro…..literally what is there to say?? Seeing all these characters who I’ve grown to love in this game I’ve grown to love now in a connected story with all of them teaming up against the villains, seeing all the different teamups & conflicts & who would fight who & who would get along with who, seeing the Mario cast alongside characters I was introduced to thinking yeah that makes sense……this story mode quite literally had me jittering. I would decline hanging out with friends after school or on the weekends because I knew I had to grind in Subspace. Ready to find out what the next cutscene was. Going full battle mode traversing through the levels & beating the bosses. Collecting those trophies that first got me interested in this series, Just….being there. Unforgettable. It wasn’t like any game-any THING I’ve ever experienced before & has yet to top. Like to say it was the coolest thing ever is a complete understatement. It was a staple in my life. I am a brawl defender forever & ever. Of course my love for Mario & Smash Bros grew exponentially & I continued to get new installments, but it was this game that really influenced my life.
This was nice to read.
I remembered that I was so hyped for the game, I begged my mother to gift me the Smash Bros Limited Edition for Christmas. But since she tends to not gift me games on Christmas + the fact that the Limited Editions were already double the price, I doubted she would give one to me. She even adressed me on it like a week before Christmas saying something like "Hey, I can try and get you that Edition, but it will not probably be on Christmas". Then on Christmas Day, I only had one present: The Super Smash Bros Ultimate Limited Edition. Somehow, she managed to find it for the regular Price in a store on time for Christmas. I was so happy and this is to date the best Chrsitmas present that I have ever received :,)
I was never a competitive Smash player but Brawl was my childhood. Amazing single player campaign
thank you for this video scott. gem memories
11:00 I also find Brawl to have the best cover, it feels more like a composition with how they are lined up and Mario, Link, and Pikachu looking back specifically. They have some more subtle poses in play which makes them look cooler as opposed to Smash 4 and Ultimate where they're all jumping at you in a battle pose.
Hopefully we get that official Smash Ultimate Scott The Woz episode soon.
But overall, Smash Bros has always been my go-to multiplayer game for me, and I have many memories playing all of these games, and will continue to do so for years to come. Ultimate is my most favorite Smash game of all time, but Melee is where my journey began. And yes, I played all Smash games.
I love hour long episodes. Thank you Scott, very cool
I've had this idea for a while, a nostalgia trip through every smash bros, this was a delight to see!
As a DJ I can relate to your wedding story
It's pretty neat hearing someone else having a similar experience of watching a lot of RUclips videos about video games and knowing a lot about them, before i even owned any video games until sophomore year of jogh school. Also getting all my gaming news from IGN too
Melee was my first smash game so I have lots of nostalgia for it and remembering the times before I discovered competitive melee, it was fun just playing casually with items on and playing all the different modes. The speed of melee just made it extremely fun regardless of playing casually or competitively. When I got brawl, I remember thinking “why is this so slow” and I lowkey just wanted to stop playing but I shortly adjusted and grew to love it a lot as well. Smash 4 was the first one I was there from reveal to release also and the buildup was incredible. The week it released I went to every store in my city taking the city bus and it was sold out everywhere. Was only 13 at the time so I wasn’t familiar with pre ordering or buying things online at that point, just walking into stores and hoping it was in stock. Got it about a week later after immediately going from school to Best Buy, and I played that for a good year from that day on. With Ultimate I was more prepared, and went to Walmart at my local mall as soon as they opened and got it. Smash bros is surely my favourite game series oat, and I’m glad I got to experience all these moments as I always love reflecting on it all
I'm with you there Scott of the smash series being very dear to me. I started from the original N64 game as a kid and kept getting each one. It's crazy seeing this series grow into what it has today. My personal favorite will probably always be melee but ultimate really is the ultimate game. Smash 3ds was one of two games I ever bought with my own working money so that's also why it's very special to me
Weirdly enough the only smash game I didn't get until way later was the Wii U version of smash 4
For a while my main memories with smash bros were unlocking Dr. Mario, Luigi, Jigglypuff, and occasionally Falco or Young Link in Melee on repeat because of my only GameCube memory card being a MadCatz one which deleted its save data every week or so. I was like 10 or something at the time, so I still had fun, but it took me over 5 years to get a proper official memory card and finally unlock the full cast.
Man, I remember the whiplash i felt going from melee to brawl as a kid. I didn't play melee completively, but damn the gameplay felt so much more fluid. It took a while to get used to brawl's molasses physics.
I remember picking up my first Switch the day before Smash Ultimate got revealed.
Talk about perfect timing.
the nostalgia i have for the first one is huge. i didn't own my own copy until later but i remember renting it a whole lot. and then i owned the sequels as they came out good times
I got into Smash after seeing my cousin playing Melee when I went to visit him, and it’s definitely been a series near and dear to my heart since. Brawl is my personal favorite due to how much it brought to the series and its robust adventure mode making it feel like you were playing an official fanfiction, but in terms of polish and sheer quality I’d say Ultimate takes the cake, even if I stopped playing it like back in 2023 due to my friends dropping it outside of occasionally playing with family.
I still remember before I had unrestricted internet access when Smash 4 came out. I thought that game was the coolest sh*t but I didn't have a Wii U. I did have a Wii and my dad took me to a retro game store where I found Brawl. He was willing to buy it for me but since Smash 4 was just called "Super Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U" I thought that meant it was the first smash game since it didn't have a subtitle. So when I saw Brawl had a subtitle and was on an earlier console I thought it was a bootleg and passed it up and I still hate myself for that
The buildup to smash ultimate is one of the happiest parts of my childhood. This game is how I got close with my one of my siblings before I left for college/they moved across the country. I am very thankful for that. The first weekend this came out was exams week for my university and did I study? Nope! I played smash basically nonstop, and cut my way through a 60hr playthrough of WoL. Good times.
Edit: I'll add that I've been playing smash since I learned how to hold an N64 controller, so this series has been core to me and my siblings for basically my whole life.
I loved watching E3 and Comic con on G4
I started with Melee and have played every game onwards. I’d say my fondest memories were with Brawl just because I had everyone playing it back then. Also, I was in middle school and didn’t have any real worries back then lol
You know it's bad when even scott is roasting G4 😂
What happened?
Scott shitting on G4, the network that gave us uncensored Scott
I remember getting in Melee as a little kid and initially thinking it would play like Pac-Man Fever, which I played all the time before then. So yeah thanks for unlocking that memory, Scott.
We really will watch anything
Melee was one of those games I loved but was never really popular with my family but when Brawl came through me and the cousins were playing EVERY weekend together . The storyline . The adventure mode . The multi players matches . introduction of the FINAL SMASH
Fortunate to have played the Smash games in order of release at the time they were released. I will never forget how insanely blown away I was by Melees physics engine, the speed and weight. And what a giant dissapointment Brawl was to play when compared to Melee....Brawl is by far the worst by the cheer gameplay, but it does make up for it with a ton of content. FYI we continued playing Melee regularly until 2008 when Brawl came out, and even THEN we'd still pop it in from time to time that entire year. By early 2010 the Mango hype was coming up in Melee (I'm Socal local) so we switched back and went from there, scene still thrives. :)
the reason Melee is rated T is because E10+ just wasn’t a rating until 2005
i know this because Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 was going for the T rating until E10+ rating was introduced and they pivoted to that
Then why is Brawl T for Teen
@@futurewario9591Subspace emissary shows people getting impaled.
If explaining Jojo part 3 doesn’t come out soon or doesn’t happen in general I will start a riot. You don’t want that on your conscience do you Mr.Wozniak?
I still can't believe that Lotus is a Spirit in Ultimate.
Smash4 era was so fun and such a good time in my life if I could back and just replay those moments I def would it was badass it will always hold a special place in my heart
It's wild how young Scott is. I have wayyyyy more memories with 64 and melee than brawl. Brawl and wii u I didn't play that much. But melee we played all the time in high school even when brawl came out we just kept playing melee cuz we had already snuck the gamecube in school
10 years later, smash 4 is still fantastic, throw at me haters
Drunk and going to bed to this feels so fucking good
Amazing drop, thank you Scott 😎
34:50 I remember playing it after it dropped, it was so fun playing it
I was also one of those weird people who mostly played Ultimate for the single player. I got all of the spirits as well, although I didn't keep up with that once they started releasing DLC characters.
I enjoyed playing through World of Light. It's all I really needed from a smash bros single player adventure. Of course, we will always ask for more...more cutscenes, more custom enemies, custom stages (maybe with some platforming), more detailed overworld, etc. Given the budget they were working with though, I think spirits were a pretty smart way to at least evoke the feeling of fighting these hundreds of characters.
Woz of Scott has returned to talk about bros of smash
Has he indeed.
Imagine me saying this like Junior at the end of Madagascar 1.
"Um, Audience? Don't you think we should tell Scott that the devs of Mr Nutz have been defunct for 26 years?"
This would be a great title for a future entry ngl.
i wasn'yt expecting Scott to bring up the Irate Gamer, yet I'm not surprised whatsoever he grew up with it
Let me tell you the buildup to Smash Wii U and Ultimate was both exciting and painful the wait was killing me and as a teenager I was pretty damn anxious and just as much as an adult as I wanted to play them so badly the moment they released.
Sora's addition genuinely felt magical to me. My friend scoffed at that but the trailer really did feel like it was everything in spirit of both franchises.
Also there is 1 hard rule for Smash when it comes to characters: They have to be from a game first.
Smash Bros 64 is the best one IMO never had as much fun with the others
“I’m gonna say ‘um’ a lot more!” *me now paying attention to the amount of um’s*
LETS GO!!!!! SMASH VIDEO
