History YMMV / SuperSmashBros

** The Master Hand and Crazy Hand team up fight in Brawl in Classic mode can sometimes be this since it's only able to be fought on hard mode or higher and one has to reach the last fight within 9 minutes or less. Plus the giant character fights and free for all before the final fight can drain you of your lives, especially if you're playing a character that can get knocked around easily such as Sonic, worst part is you get a game over no matter at what point you're at even if you do make it to the fight you'll have to start over from the beginning of Classic Mode if you want another shot at fighting Master Hand and Crazy Hand together fight.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced:

** R.O.B. was the only exception, as he was a ReplacementScrappy to many fans' dream additions. He didn't stay hated for long, though.

* BrokenBase: ''Brawl'' fans and ''Melee'' fans... it's best we leave this example at that.
** Additionally: "[[{{Scrub}} Casualfags]]" and "[[StopHavingFunGuys Tourneyfags]]". Moreso than in any game ever.
** Among the competitive community, "Pro-Ban" and "Anti-Ban" concerning Meta Knight, though that has died down as of late.
** A lot of the HateDumb for ''Brawl'' is just FanDumb for melee.
* CharacterTiers. The arguments about which characters fit where are often heated before any structured metagame appears, with the main GameBreaker character emerging a few months after the games release. This of course is mixed up with those who declare that [[MemeticMutation tires don exits and tiers are for queers]].
** Character Tiers are one of the leading causes of the BrokenBase.
* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Overlaps with StopHavingFunGuys.
* ContestedSequel: ''Brawl'', for having slower paced action and evening everyone's jumping gravity. [[WordOfGod Sakurai]] said that it was to make the game more of a pick-up-and-play experience than ''Melee'' but not everyone agrees with this decision.
* CrackPairing: Samus/Pikachu, a MoeCouplet latched on to tongue-in-cheek by the fanbase, referencing obsessive shippers and the amount of creepy fans Samus has recently acquired.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome - So very many, as noted on [[Awesome/SuperSmashBros its own page.]]
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome:

** All '''260 tracks''' of it.
** Doubling as Crowning Music '''and''' a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Hideo Kojima: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUfKFElJ9sA Metal Gear Solid 4's "Theme of Love"]] from ''Brawl''. Why is this a Crowning Moment? Because at the time of ''Brawl's'' release, '''[=MGS4=] hadn't been released yet.''' Kojima basically got a small advertisement for the game (a Sony exclusive) into ''Brawl'' (a Nintendo exclusive).
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Metroid isn't really much of a success in Japan and the amount of games produced for it is not much compared to other Nintendo series. Hell, it has had only one protagonist with consistent roles, hence why you only get to play as Samus. We do get, however, two instances of Samus, (her regular self and Zero Suit Samus) three Metroid themes stages in Brawl, along with two appearances of Ridley in the Subspace Emissary (other than the optional battle with Ganondorf, no Zelda boss appears).
* FanDumb: Mainly from the StopHavingFunGuys.
* GameBreaker: Now has [[GameBreaker/SuperSmashBros its own page]].
* GoodBadBugs:
** So many, for example Wavedashing and Zap Jumps. Though to be technical, wavedashing is more of a physics exploit (a side-effect) than a bug. It just happens to be the result of air-dodging on the ground. Zap Jumps, on the other hand, is probably a glitch.
** There's a glitch in ''Melee'' that lets you, among other things, play as Master Hand, though it is [[GameBreakingBug prone to crashing]]. Note that this glitch went undiscovered for ''seven years''.

* HypocriticalFandom: Melees' FanDumb will regularly attack Brawl for stuff that could easily be said about Melee.

* MemeticMutation:

** Ike's "[[ThePowerOfFriendship I fight for my friends]]" victory line

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR6sxFBm1P8 Tiers are for queers!]]
** [[StopHavingFunGuys No Items! Fox only! Final Destination!]]
** [[{{Metroid}} Ridley]] '''is TOO BIG!!!'''

* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/SuperSmashBros It even has its own page!]]
* OneTruePairing: Snake/Samus, for many Brawlers.
* ReplacementScrappy: Lucario for Mewtwo, for a few of the latter's fans.

* TheScrappy: Pichu. Its electric-based attacks ''damage itself''.
* ScrappyLevel / ThatOneSidequest: Cruel Melee/Brawl, along with Battlefield Fortress in Subspace Emissary & the [[BossRush Boss Battles]] in ''Brawl''.
* ScrappyMechanic:

** Arguably the Pokémon Trainer's stamina mechanic which punishes you for trying to rely on one of the Mons by reducing your stats when you use one specific one for too long (and to a lesser degree how the current mon automatically switches when you die). This despite the fact that Sheik/Zelda never needed any handicap on multiple forms besides lacking an Down-B move.
*** This was probably implemented to convey the theme of using the entire Pokémon team instead of relying on one member.

* SequelDisplacement: When Melee was young, a number of fans failed to realize that there was a game that came before it, despite the information being in Melee.

* SpotlightStealingSquad:

** There's also Mario, Yoshi, Pit, Link and Kirby at [[spoiler:the Canyon]]. Would normally be BigDamnHeroes, [[FridgeLogic until you realise]] that the rescuees consisted of six people and three Pokémon who probably could've handled it themselves.
* ThatOneBoss: [[spoiler: Tabuu.]] Also, [[EarthBound Porky]] and Duon.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Sonic vs. Mario, Snake vs. Mario, original Pokémon vs. new Pokémon, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Olimar vs. Diddy Kong]], etc.

* AssPull: Arguably, [[spoiler: Sonic's appearance at the end]].
* GoddamnedBats - Pretty much all the [[strike:flying]] enemies that are not already DemonicSpiders.
* HilariousInHindsight:

* LoveItOrHateIt: Either it's a great platformer with elements from the game, or a terrible attempt to give the games a mode with a story.
* NightmareFuel - A lot of the {{Mooks}} (those not taken from existing settings like the Goombas from ''Mario'') appear to have been designed by TimBurton. Also certain hacks are these, such as the infamous Longchu.
* NightmareRetardant: [[spoiler: Tabuu. Three Words: Rainbow Butterfly Man]]
* TearJerker:
** [[spoiler: Seeing that one R.O.B. unit sadly waving goodbye to the Ancient Minister (later revealed to be the playable character R.O.B.) before being destroyed by the Subspace Bomb; all of the robots in the factory turning on their leader by firing lasers at him when he was only trying to save them all from destroying the island and themselves; when R.O.B. is watching the bomb count down, all sound but the bleeping timer fades out and his impassive robot face somehow managing to convey sadness as his eyes glow blue and shutters slowly close over the lenses; and when the Island of the Ancients could never be restored upon Tabuu's defeat, making R.O.B. the LastOfHisKind.]] ''Oh, gosh...''

** Another for Pokémon Trainer: Type effectiveness. Yes, it's in Brawl. The three pokémon are knocked back a little more/less by attacks of their respective weaknesses/resistances. This creates two problems: first, no other Pokémon is affected by this system, so Charizard isn't strong against Lucario, Lucario isn't strong against Jigglypuff, et cetera, making it a pointless detail. Second, considering this is is only based on fire-water-grass, this puts Ivysaur at a huge disadvantage because about half of the characters in Brawl have fire attacks, and it's too easy on Charizard because there are only 3 water attacks, one being from Kirby with Squirtle's ability.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Metroid isn't really much of a success in Japan and the amount of games produced for it is not much compared to other Nintendo series. Hell, it has had only one protagonist with consistent roles, hence why you only get to play as Samus. we do get, however, three Metroid themes stages in Brawl, along with two appearances of Ridley in the Subspace Emissary (other than the optional battle with Ganondorf, no Zelda boss appears).

* UnpleasableFanbase: People like to complain that their favorite characters didn't make the selectable roster. [[SuperMarioRPG Geno]], [[{{Metroid}} Ridley]], and [[GoldenSun Isaac]] are among the most popular suggestions.
** Not to mention the outcry over ''Melee'' characters that didn't make it into ''Brawl'', most notably Mewtwo and Roy.

** So many, for example Wavedashing and Zap Jumps.

* StopHavingFunGuys: Despite all the ways that this game can be played on both the goofball mess fests and serious 1 on 1 duels, a lot of the serious players seem to heavily focus on the Tournament Level, which focuses on not using items and playing very static stages. While there is nothing wrong with this style of play, it isn't how everyone likes to play, per se. None the less, a quick stop to any Smash Forum [[InternetBackdraft and asking up the idea of "how do you play" is not really a good idea...]] This is lovingly [[http://legendaryfrog.deviantart.com/art/Hardcorez-75608753 drawn out in this LegendaryFrog comic]]. The Tournament scene is arguably more well known for its Hatedom than anything else. Despite this, it's hard to find Brawl games that ''do'' allow items and break the AbridgedArenaArray.

* FanDumb - Let's just say that it exists.

* ItWasHisSled: '''All''' of the unlockable characters in every game. They aren't even spoilered here because of how well known they are.

** All '''260 tracks''' of it. [[http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F610B61A4BD24383 Have]] [[http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=02CACA5A61D39FDA a nice]] {{Archive Binge}}!

* GameBreaker: now has [[GameBreaker/SuperSmashBros its own page]]

! The Main games

* ContestedSequel: ''Brawl'', for having slower paced action and evening everyone's jumping gravity. [[WordOfGod Sakurai]] said that it was to make the game more of a pick-up-and-play experience than ''Melee'' but very few fans agree.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: [[{{Tropers/Supercomputer276}} This troper]] was quite disappointed after Sonic was announced for ''Brawl'' that none of the event matches features [[ConsoleWars a one-on-one duel between him and Mario]].

* HilariousInHindsight: There was a letter sent to NintendoPower describing characters the writer would like to see in the game. One of the characters was Lucario. Nintendo Power sarcastically replied that it was a good character choice.
