I'm not saying it's unheard of, I'm saying its relevance and familiarity is blown way out of proportion on this site because of the demographics posting here. There are a lot of 4chanisms like this, it's the same as how people ignore sports games, pretend no one plays CoD (because 4chan doesn't like it), thinks TF2 was/is some kind of generational moment. I guarantee if Smash has any image at all with the public it's as, "Game with Pikachu in it that'll shut my kid up for 5 minutes". Even that I think is generous. No one who ever owned a PlayStation or its successor systems was thinking oh god where is our Super Smash Bros lmao.

PSASBR being a Smash clone is a huge meme. It literally plays nothing like Smash Bros. The only similarity is being a huge crossover between different franchises. I'd argue that PSASBR has the most unique gameplay of the whole "platform fighter" genre or whatever they're calling it nowadays.

Super Smash Bros. was Nintendo's answer to PS1's vast selection of good fighting games.

I mean that's the problem, it's a smash clone because it was so insecure about being a smash clone that it was designed around pointlessly changing the fundamentals of platform fighters. It was so insecure about being a copy that it removed everything good, the only thing you can think while playing it is "why aren't I just knocking people off the screen instead"
