I feel like you could've had a part in the video where you go over the character dominance stuff but disclude ZeRo from everything. Would've been interesting to see

MkLeo played since Brawl

13:05 you know what tarnished the game's legacy? the community's reaction to legitimate harassment that a lot of bayo players faced. It was fucking disgusting and I'm tired of people pretending like that didn't happen. What do you think drove captainzack and lima to stall at EVO? I was fucking elated when I saw that live. the ultimate "fuck you" to a childish, rabid community.

well yeah, because a lot of people refused to play her, but if those same people decided to swap then she would be.

Brawl lovers are off their rocker 💀

This felt very nostalgic. 2015 was a whole decade ago huh?

Excellent video!

EAZY

Bad? Yes. It was.

Anyone know what's the song at 1:40?

Still waiting for smash stans to admit that ZeRo’s 50 tournament run is the greatest achievement in smash history, and probably the FGC as a whole. And that Nairo should go back to being banned.

Coney jumpscare at 7:32

As much as i hate steve, Sonic is the most braindead waste of a character slot in Ultimate

Watching Smash 4 gameplay for the first time in years is so jarring. It’s nasty, but in the bad way lol.

I can understand blurring the faces since if you allow people to react on Twitch, they won’t get banned for showing banned people, but naming them aloud and then hiding their tags (and sometimes you blur the tags sometimes you don’t, so it’s just completely inconsistent and a detriment to the overall quality of the video) is just odd. It’s all over the place and just makes it look

Hey man this was an awesome vid. I remember the whole timeline as u explained it. Good times.

I remember when ZeRo absolutely dominated Smash 4. People don't talk about his sets anymore but i remember when he faced Ranai and people called it big, when he lost to Luhtie, when he was sweating against Tsu, etc. Smash 4 is mostly forgotten by the fact that people don't want to talk about the banned players lile ZeRo, Ally, Salem and Nairo who were some of the best Smash 4 players, and the history can't be accuratly told without them.

it always confused me seeing people in 2017 acting like brawl was the bad one and smash 4 being potentially the best one, only for ultimate to come out. upon its release everyone started saying that smash 4 was terrible and it was super jarring to see. like, we were watching the same game, right? we all saw zaki’s dedede take a set off mkleo at hyrule saga, it wasn’t like insane stuff wasn’t happening during 2018. i think people need to stop looking solely at the characters that won each tournament and instead at least look at the top 8s, because it was pretty surprising seeing characters like duck hunt in top 8 at evo

Melee is so much better than the others

Smash 4 cloud was the embodiment of smash 4, easy to use and easy kills

I still extremely dislike Smash 4 regardless of Bayonetta. Game is complete and utter rubbish. Happy to see it fade.

Smash 4 ❤

She definitely did dominate, let’s not try and rewrite history, absolute bottom and mid tier players became top tier players when they started using bayo. Bayo players also intentionally decided not to play bayo as broken as she could be played so the smash community wouldn’t ban her, but she still was beating everyone regardless

Cloud and Bayonetta probably shouldn’t have ever been added tbh.

Cloud was so perfect in 4....he's completely a neutered shell of himself in ultimate now.

Steve is worst compared to bayo and meta cause he can do both latter combo and guild along with blocks in the platform fighters it broken i dont care if has the lowest jump when can use block to increase is vertical gain and block recovers could they just make so only steve interacts with block cause he can just throw in to one and ot doesn't matter if you tech or not your getting kill cause jis frame data is as fast as sonic and one upgrade have the knockback Bowser along with other moves that makes him play his game due to him using custom bullder if a character can change the stage with no gimmick to the stage thier a problem

Damn the amount of banned players in this video is insane

Melee players upset that melee turned 18 finding out that smash U is 4

Fantastic video. As someone who lived through it as a mid level player I can say for sure Bayo would’ve dominated just like brawl mk had the meta continued. Small corrections if memory serves I believe Dath made top 8 at a major with Robin, getting 3rd(?). And Larry won Mexico Saga over Zero with Fox

6.66% cmon, Christ is superior above all that’s of this world

not for nothin but i feel it’s odd to say you’re blurring all of the names of banned players in tournament footage but mention them anyways/show their names on screen. i realize you kinda have to discuss them but i don’t understand why one would blur the names on the footage anyways

I thought sonic and meta knight were meta then

I liked and subbed, but then saw ZeRo being blurred out, and unsubbed and unliked. He doesn't deserve that.

🔥🔥🔥

One thing I truly love about smash 4 is two stocks. It gave the game a street fighter like 2-round per match system. The slower pace made you appreciate every percent in both stocks before the match ended.

I've been WAITING to see a nuanced take on Smash 4 for a good while, thank goodness. I miss it.

Did you create the logo at 3:45 just for the video? LOL

Was shine 2016 not considered a major? Dath got robin a 3rd place finish there

I think a missing piece of the puzzle here is that a lot of the Bayonetta discourse of the era was fueled by vibes more than the raw data. Quantitatively, characters like Cloud in doubles and Sheik in early Smash4 meant they had more *objective* impact. But the narrative surrounding Bayonetta made her *perceived* impact far stronger. Even Brawl Meta Knight, who was infamously overpowered and received partial bans, didn't have as much toxic sentiment from its players. - Playing against her was exceptionally stressful and frustrating because of the slim-but-palpable chance to get 0-to-deathed off any interaction. - Her earliest reps like CaptainZack and Mistake/Tamim were low-profile players prior to Bayo, giving the sense that she was an easy character (lol, no) and carried the players in question (debatable and varied per person). - Said players were also controversial as actual people. - Local and major tournament attendance was in the midst of a steep decline. That happened for a lot of reasons but was partially attributable to Bayonetta. It led to this really nasty aura surrounding the character which never really dissipated until several months after Ultimate came out.

who cares about the blurred names bro just watch the video lol

Smash 4 also had some amazing player storylines and it's just unfortunate that so many of them turned out to be the people they were. To the point where we can now never celebrate what, at the time, was some fantastic narrative

I was somebody who was heavily involved in commentating and playing throughout sm4sh's life span and I really appreciate this retrospective. There was a period of time nobody remembers after sheik got nerfed for almost a year nobody knew who the best character in the game was and the whole meta was up for grabs in a way that I've never seen since.

oh god, we're at the bayonetta apologist era for sm4sh history now. Just so we can get some clicks.

ANTi singlehandedly made sm4sh

Is the BRC soundtrack in the background?

I love the editing style/animations.

im not sure why you tried to make this video as you seem pretty misinformed/uninformed about the majority of it. Disliked, and im gonna quick log into a couple alt accounts to dislike again

4:07 Dont forget Spinjumps, the tech where you could combine the momentum of a spin dash with your double jump to recover horizontally from the blast zone all the way to the ledge.

What I remember are the nightmares and rage from dying at low percents. As long as you win neutral though, you don’t have to worry about that.
