   Number 4: Smash Bros Brawl History Smash Bros Cast Ep.4

   Episode 4 Smash Bros Brawl History Developer: HAL Laboratories, Sora, Game Arts, Monolith Soft, Paon and Intelligent Systems. Development began in October 2005 Release Date: January 31st 2008 in Japan. March 9th, 2008 in North America. Australia was June 26th and Europe was June 27th 2008. Development In 2005 at a pre E3 press conference President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata announced that the next Smash game was already in development for the Wii. Masahiro Sakurai had HAL back in 2003 and was surprised to learn of its development, because Iwata had told him he would be in charge of the next instalment following Melee. Iwata invited Sakurai to his hotel room in LA and ask him to direct Brawl. According to Did You KNow Gaming Iwata told Sakurai if he didn’t join the team they would just re-release Melee with online play. Sakurai was on board and Nintendo hired an outside studio who according to Sakurai had played excessive amounts of Melee. Brawl’s official trailer was at E2 May 10, 2006. Sakurai told IGN that motion controls would not be included in the game. What it would include was Wi-Fi connection and online functionality. Nintendo wanted Brawl to be the game to take the Wii online. Sakurai and Hideo Kojima were testing online play and Kojima said Nintendo “could put it out right now and it would sell millions of copies.” Sadly that was not the case and the game would miss it’s original release date on December 3, 2007 in order to fine tune the game. The single player adventure mode, The Subspace Emissary was a step above Melee, but because Sakurai wanted to make the game more accessible to everyone, so the hardcore didn’t stick around and went back to Melee for high level play. Competitive scene The competitive scene didn't last long last because of how unbalanced the game was. Meta Knight was the only viable option for most players so that made the game pretty boring to watch. Tripping was also added to slow players down, so you would just randomly fall a be left wide open to take damage. The slower speed and lack of moves from Melee like wavedashing, L-canceling and decent air dodge played a part in killing it in the competitive scene. One of the biggest blows to playing the game competitively was the ability to act durring hitstun making combos more difficult. Project M Project M was a mod that was created to make Falco play like he did Melee that evolved into the game that Brawl should have been. Project M was received many updates and even added Melee characters to the roster of Brawl. When Smash 4 was announced After six years it was shut down the team that had been working disbanded to avoid legal complications. There’s still local scenes having tournaments with Project M, but for the most part is has died the main competitive scene.

   Number 5: Smash Bros Melee History SBC Ep.3

   Smash Bros Cast Episode 3 Smash Bros Melee History Developer: HAL Laboratories Release Date: Japan November 21, 2001. North America December 3rd, 2001 shortly after the GameCube launched. Europe and Australia were the following year on May 24th, 2002 and 31st, 2002. Development Masahiro Sakurai was back in the driver seat for the sequel to Smash 64 and it would push him to a point that he referred to as destructive. It was the biggest project that he had ever led and because of that he took zero holiday’s off and had little to no weekends. He referred to Melee as “the sharpest game” in the series. With this game releasing so close to the launch of the GameCube the team really wanted to show the power of the system, so they worked with three different animation studios to complete the opening sequence. Character list Mario Luigi Yoshi Donkey Kong Link Samus Kirby Fox Pikachu Jigglypuff Captain Falcon Ness Peach Bowser Dr. Mario Zelda/Sheik Ganondorf Young Link Falco Mewtwo Pichu Ice Climbers Marth Roy Mr.Game & Watch Reception Melee was the top-selling GameCube game at 7.09 million, it became the fastest selling GameCube title in Japan selling almost 360,000 copies in four days. Most critics and news outlets praised the game. Melee sits at 92/100 on Metacritic IGN 9.6/10 Eurogamer 10/10 Nintendo Power 5/5 Edge Magazine 6/10 Competitive Melee The term I hear most often with Melee and the competitive scene is “happy accident.” Here’s this casual party game being played at a level I never thought was possible. The community discovered techniques like wavedashing, dashdancing, directional influence and L-canceling. Soon after small tournaments were being held in homes or game shops. Matt Deezie began hosting the Tournament Go series in Northern California and came up with a ruleset of legal stages and tournament procedures. More tournaments began to spring up and the community was growing. In 2004 Melee was added to MLG’s largest tournaments. This Last weekend I watched the entire documentary on the Melee competitive scene. It’s over four hours long, but it was amazing to see the history of the scene and how it all started. Click here to watch the Melee Documentary My History with Smash Melee Christmas morning 2001 my wife surprised me with a Gamecube and had all of our family members and friends buy me games and controllers. We very little money at that time, so I was very surprised. Smash was one of the three games I got that year and the moment I fired it up I was blown away by what I was seeing. I was still playing Perfect Dark and Mario Kart 64 at that time, so it was a massive improvement. The opening cinematic was magic. I unlocked all the characters and I love checking out the trophies, especially the proximity mine from Perfect Dark. Sadly Microsoft crushed those dreams. Unfortunately, I didn’t have many friends to play Melee with so after I unlocked all the characters it didn’t get nearly as much play time as I would have liked. In 2002 EGM posted that Sonic could be unlocked in Melee and I spent forever trying to KO 20 wireframes on the cruel difficulty when I finally did there was no Sonic. Nintendo Power eventually put out an article clearing up the cruel April fools joke from EGM. Sources Smash Bros Wiki https://www.ssbwiki.com/Super_Smash_Bros.

I have to be able to get in close. Pulling off a Spot Dodge followed by a simple combo feels like progress for me. Smas
