Anyone could pick up a controller and play along, no matter the level of gaming experience or ability. The multitude of ways one can interact with this game allow for a very large, diverse audience. Even if your friends are ill, the game is still worth exploring as a single player.

Since Melee, it’s possible to face gigantic enemies or armies of them, as well as several other types of challenges. It’s no wonder tournaments can become quite interesting. The single player modes are just as good as multiplayer.

There’s a plethora of stages available, and the availability of any item in battle can be changed. Changing the classic character outfits, battling with up to eight people as singles or teams, setting a time limit, and setting life counters are only some of the possible ways to instantly relieve boredom from playing over and over. With over fifty characters to choose from today, there are over fifty movesets that players could potentially learn, and several ways to find that comfortable playing niche. The casual, the competitive, the inexperienced, and anyone else can customize their in-game experience to their liking. Characters could make hilarious faces and strike poses mid-attack or after being hit, such as in the photo of Luigi shown above, to remember that epic moment when “that one character had done that one thing.” Paused games are often humorous to look at, if the person pausing the game times the action at just the right moment. The general aesthetics of Smash shouldn’t be glossed over at all, nor should its pause camera. The game camera can be rotated to view different angles, zoom, and even take snapshots (in Brawl). The Smash menu options are placed on the outer edges of the screen, where the standard word “pause,” can be seen, as well as the controls to resume the game, or quit the game. In many fighting games, pausing brings up a menu box in the middle of the screen. Now, it’s surprising how noticeable it is that Luigi is wearing denim overalls! All of the game’s assets have evolved into fleshed-out, colorful, and visually-appearing versions of themselves. The action does move rather fast, but Smash has built in a way for players to appreciate the artistry. The Nintendo 64 game has smooth animations, yet the chunkiness of the characters were increasingly smoothed out in later games.

Visually, the series’ appearance is given lots of attention. Game Aesthetics Look at that denim on Luigi! Not to mention the shine on Samus’ armor or the detail on Link’s sheath. The multitude of familiar elements bring the universes of Smash together in an epic way, finally answering the “when are the Nintendo worlds going to combine?” question from fans. Among Mario, Link, and Samus trophies, Clu-Clu Land, Balloon Fight, and Duck Hunt characters are also thrown in, among many other characters and items. The multitude of unlockable trophies also count as fan service, recounting Nintendo history in a way Wikipedia will never be able to do. And nearly every aspect of the game delivers fan service.

Nintendo isn’t trying to reinvent its own wheel or anything. Kirby can ingest characters and change appearance, while Pikachu can do Thundershock in battle-Nintendo fans expect these unique movesets from the playable characters. Bob-ombs, Pokéballs, and more items are also available to use during battle. Familiarity Check out Pikachu’s classic Thundershock! Familiarity, game aesthetics, customization, and simplicity combine to create the series’ unique selling points.
#RIVALS OF AETHER PS3 CONTROLLER SERIES#
Melee, Brawl and the Wii U/3DS version take it upon themselves to expand the potential of Smash. Looking deeper into the features of the Smash games, there seem to be four core elements in the series that are very strong. The recipe for success lies in the game’s origins, with the original game setting the Smash standard. (Thanks to JakeNoseIt for having used the term “secret sauce”.) Ingredients of the Secret Sauce series according to their website so, does Aether continue the legacy of the Smash-style fighting game? Before we answer this question, we need to first explore the origins of Smash, leading to the “secret sauce” of the Smash Bros. But how? And is there a way to duplicate Smash authentically? Rivals of Aether, a Steam-released early access game, may have done just that. Dan Fornace, the mind behind the game, states it’s fully based on the Super Smash Bros. Super Smash Bros. has left a huge impact on the gaming community-the collections of Nintendo fighters have created and monopolized an entire genre of games, evolving into a gaming culture. “Do you play Smash ?” This question perhaps is the one bit of information needed to convince gamers to join a college gaming club today.
