Speaking as a fighting game enthusiast, a nintendo fanboy, and a competitive Smash player:
You're absolutely fucking right. At least about Ess Ess Bee Bee. You would think that Snake, a big part of marketing for the game, would at least be playable a first, right? Wrong, and that pisses me off. But at least 15 quick matches on Shadow Moses rectifies that. Sonic's a story for another day.
But I concur with other posters that there was too much hate and not enough funny. Smash hasn't always been about button-mashing (surprise, ************), but this game was engineered that way.
A majority of fighting games are fun and not button-mashing based. Some are button-combo-mashing like Marvel Vs Capcom 2 (Fucking Cable), whereas some are just absolute filth, like Dead Or Alive, whose only selling point seems to be breasts big enough to poke someone in the eye half a world away.
The history of Smash went as such:
Nintendo decided to play around with a multiplayer fighting game, unique from other fighters.
Then Nintendo saw how well the game was received (not just by fanboys)and proceeded to make a new one and improve on some game mechanics.
Then Nintendo shat on people who normally played fighters and turned it into a button-mashing fanboy-fest.
For the most part, spot on, good job, can't wait to troll people with the video.
