Very well done. Brought back some memories listening to all the history.

Smash Brothers for most everyone is alot of time spent without reaching the greatest of all time goals, but it wasn't time wasted. There was alot of learning and self discovery.

Super smash brother was one of my favorite games of all time. I remember first playing it on the Nintendo 64 it was an amazing game. Thanks for sharing the history
