Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game series created by Nintendo, notable for serving as a massive crossover between all major Nintendo franchises and even many third-party ones. Credited with codifying the "platform fighter" genre, the series is directed by Kirby series creator Masahiro Sakurai and takes the fighting game formula in a rather different direction than "traditional" fighters. Rather than a health bar with a set amount of health and the goal of depleting your opponent's to zero before they do the same to you, your vitality is instead measured in a damage percentage: the the more you're attacked, the higher your damage rises. The higher it rises, the farther you fly when hit. Should you be launched far enough off the screen or fall too far from the stage to recover, you either lose a life or your attacker scores a point, depending on the game mode. The controls are also simplified from other fighting games: rather than a complicated input string for executing each attack and different strings to memorise for each fighter, the game uses a unified moveset across all characters where every attack is only a single button press and optionally a direction on the control stick, extrapolating their abilities from there. This makes the series incredibly easy to get into for those who aren't fans of traditional fighting games, while still allowing for enough variety and replay value that players across the world have been hooked for nearly two decades now. Indeed, the series has become one of Nintendo's most beloved and best-selling franchises and each new instalment will always be met with a fresh new trainload of hype.
Currently, there are four installments, with a fifth just released!

Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers)
Platform: Nintendo 64, Virtual Console (Wii)
Original release date:
JP: January 21st, 1999
NA: April 26th, 1999
EU: November 12th, 1999
The one that started it all, the original Super Smash Bros. - nowadays referred to as SSB64 - was a relatively low-key release (at least, compared to the rest of the series). A pet project of Sakurai's, it was originally developed as an entirely original game by the name of Dragon King: The Fighting Game. Fearing that an original fighting game property wouldn't sell well on the N64, Sakurai instead decided to insert existing Nintendo mascots into the game as its fighters, and the concept blossomed from there. Very much a proof of concept compared to later games.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Dairantō Smash Brothers SPECIAL)
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release date (WW): December 7th, 2018
On June 12th 2018, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has finally been officially shown for the Nintendo Switch, said to be released on December 7th, 2018. The subtitle Ultimate is no joke, as they decided to include every single character that has ever been in a Smash game, including fan-favourites such as Snake, Cloud, and even Pichu - but returning characters aren't the only highlight here. Aside from Inklings, who have already been teased back in March, they are making the dream real - Ridley. The gameplay has been shown at the Nintendo Treehouse at E3 2018, with many players being impressed with the newly introduced and re-introduced mechanics, and the game is sure to have a bright future with the abundance of content it will offer.
With the Direct on 8/8/2018 a whole 5 new characters were confirmed for the roster: Simon and Richter Belmont, Chrom, Dark Samus, and King K. Rool, fulfilling yet the wishes of many people who have voted for them in the Smash 4 Ballot.
The Nintendo Direct on 9/13/2018 also brought along Isabelle from the Animal Crossing series, surprising many as a full character and not an echo.
Two months later, another Direct hit a Month away from release, bringing Ken and Incineroar into the battle, demonstrating Spirits, showing us a bunch of minor titbits and introducing us to The first downloadable character, Piranha Plant along with that a DLC Pass was announced a Adventure Mode was finally shown off.
Joker from Persona 5 was announced as the first DLC character. It was truly a Last Surprise.
Ultimate came out TODAY!

Netplay Guide
Beefy Smash Doods
My Smash Corner
GimR's Lab
i want lex from bookworm as dlc
that is all
Beef Stew? Is that you?
I'm curious what kinda stage Joker might come with, I've not played Persona 5 myself so what might seem the big choices?
Mementos.
A traveling stage that transforms from real world to palace world.
Any one of the palace stages.
Those are the big candidates.
I'm betting on the casino if this does happen. It's early on, spoiler-free (not to say that Smash has a good track record with spoilers), and to somebody with little experience with the game, probably the most memorable of all its areas.
I have a feeling it's gonna be Mementos. The speeding subway trains could act as stage hazards, plus maybe Shadows as stage bosses.
Personally I'd much rather have the casino though
Now what about music, I wonder if anything with lyrics will be included.
Well both Bayonetta music with lyric got instrumental remix, Snake Eater also has the original but instrumental version but for some strange reason Calling to the Night has the lyric.
Interview with Abby Trott, the english singer for Lifelight
Abby: I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to audition through Cup
of Tea Productions, and at the time I had no idea what the audition was
for. For the first round, I submitted my singing demo. The second round
involved singing a requested song (not “Lifelight”). I ended up being
cast, and CRIED when I found out what the project was. As a life-long
fan of Nintendo, being a part of Smash Bros. Ultimate is really special
to me. I love “Lifelight” so much.
I wish the vocal version of the song played when both of the final bosses reached their final forms, either that or add the vocals to the battle theme when that happens
Playing over the credits was still great though, I can tell it's going to be iconic right away
Hearing the chorus from the E3 version of the theme was more than enough for me. It nicely bookended the beginning of the hype cycle and the awesome final battle.
One of the leaks saidMementos was going to be the Joker stage. This being a leak from the same person that apparently called Joker on 2channel before the Game Awards reveal and is the same leak that predicts a DQ rep along with Persona 5 getting a Switch port.
So take this all with a grain of salt, of course.
Chatting with a friend about Ike tech so long, my phone autocorrected Ice Climbers to Ike Climbers
That would be fucking terrifying
About 1:40 in.

I was thinking about Echo's and man MGS2 Raiden as a Snake echo would be some awesome shit. He's have the cartwheel instead of the dive, the HF bladee and idk, but it'd be sweet.
his jab combo being 4 hits instead of 3, just little details like that from MGS2
I'm praying the stage doesn't end up being Mementos, something like the Casino would be way cooler (mainly because Mementos was boring as fuCK)
I hope they go the extra mile and add tracks other than those from P5. I'm probably just as excited for the music as Joker himself.
I'm leaning more towards Mementos being in, if for nothing more than the logistics of a casino might affect their rating(?)
HF Blade would be his smash attacks, his neutral grenade would be a stun grenade (no damage, just stuns based on percent), down special is a claymore (detonates from forward proximity, no detonator), side special is the M9 Tranq (straight long-range projectile, if you get hit, you have two seconds to hit Raiden with any attack or you'll fall asleep)
No project M going on in here huh?
Lame.
If you want to talk about Project M, try and start a convo about it instead of complaining.
Holy crap, so many years of casually maining Snake in Brawl all those years ago and I'm just now finding out that you can hold onto and aim grenades, making them so much more effective. Feel like I'm finally getting pretty good at him.
as far as game balance goes the only thing I absolute hate at the moment is the bury time on inkling's roller
I have no clue if its good balancing wise blah blah blah, it is just absolutely jarring and incredibly unenjoyable to fight against - for all that matters buff inkling somewhere else if reducing bury time would fuck the char over
just block it
