The only reason it's looked so down upon is because it's less 'competitive' than Melee due to balance changes, change of pace, new characters and new features. Personally, I love both, Brawl definitely has a more casual feel compared to Melee which is fine with me because not everyone wants to play competitive.
@@darthgamer6080 exactly, brawl is by far the best Smash, just hear at that Sound Track, the solo mode with an amazing history, they put so much work with this, the game art was about serius fights not cartoon fights like the last two smash.
@@erickgabriel3603 Preach bro! Melee is my childhood and will always hold that special place, but older me enjoys Brawl more and it is highly underrated in my opinion, also the intro music is so much more powerful and makes me so much more hyped to play and kick ass
This game was so cool. From the character designs, to the music, to the story. It was so cool seeing the stitching on Mario's overalls and also looking like real denim jean overalls, then tell me you don't get chills everytime you hear the intro, and the story was like Avengers for gamers.
Fuck. 😭 I don't care what anyone says, THIS was the best smash bros opening. I remember the first day I sat down, put the disc in and my jaw hit the floor at how far videogames had come. This grandiose song was the perfect hype train. 2008 was so full of hope.
I remember when this game came out back in 08, my brother and I were beyond excited to play this game and we would listen to this theme song religiously when ever we booted up the game. Now that it's been over ten years, listening to this makes me cry in the best way possible, thank you Nintendo for giving my brother, friends, and I the best memories a kid can ask for.
0:18 probably my favorite shot in the intro simply due to seeing my favorite Nintendo character portrayed in such an epic fashion brings so much joy to me. Plus, it syncs really well with the song.
Ppl saying brawl was bad, they just never played this game or they are just saying that because Ultimate had less characters, but no matter how many characters there are, this will always be the best
I think it has a lot to do with game valence. Bc from what I’ve seen and heard of competitive brawl meta knight and Icies are both extremely overpowered.
Words cant describe how excited i was when i bore witness to sonic speeding across green hill in this game for the the first time The moment i realized to of my favorite characters mario and sonic finally throwing hands
It seems that only the first scene where all of the characters are shown and the title screen are in 60 FPS :( It makes sense that it’s not - the game’s cutscenes used up a ton of space on the disc - but I wish the whole intro was in 60 FPS.
the only part that is in hd is the part where the characters are shown on the cliff and the title screen itself. they are live rendered on the wii. the cutscenes are videos. the characters on the cliff are actually 2d sprites that billboard towards the camera.
this has been and will always be my favorite Smash Bros. the amount of nostalgia and memories i have with this game is wild, it will always remind me of when I was in Middle School and I would just play it for hours on end with my friends after school. sometimes after school, my grandma would take me to get snacks and i would come home with a bag of Andy Capps hot-fries and Dr. Pepper with some Skittles in a slice of pizza, sometimes we'd get McDonald's or Culver's, and my friends would all stay really late and we'd all take turns on the absolutely insane custom stages me and my brother built. (my favorite was a map i made comprised of with straight line of falling platforms called EVIL, where my favorite song Butter Building played) a particularly fond memory i have of this game was when i was in 7th grade, around my birthday in December, i had a particularly weird first semester because of surgery that i had during the summer for scoliosis, and for my birthday a bunch of my friends came over and we got pizza from Pizza Hut and spent the entire night playing the game having just the craziest time. i don't speak to any of them anymore and that was the last time i saw some of them. the last time i played this game was when i was still in high school at the end of my freshman year, one of my friends with moving and me and my ex had just started dating, and we spent the entire day playing the game and i showed them all of my old maps and screenshots id collected over the years. i do like the newer games, and maybe it's because im older and it's been almost 12 years since then. time flies i guess. but there's a general flow and magic this game had that the newer ones lack, and the older ones just don't have for me. thanks, Sakurai.
Starting from 1:07 brings tears to my eyes. I miss the old times playing this game for hours after I was done doing my homework. This was THE smash game that I've poured so much hours, love and time into. I keep checking how many hours I have in Ultamite. Just a mere 130-ish hours. Compared to BRAWL, which I KNOW I had over 3000 hours. The story mode I'd complete in every difficulty I could do. The custom stages, the amount of time I've just booted up this game for it to be my personal Spotify and just listen to music as I do my homework or something else. I truly love this game and I dont care of how hated it is because its not "viably competitive"
I love intros that scream in your face! Its the best feeling and it gets you hyped! And I’ll always remember seeing Ness, Marth, Sonic and Snake in the intro, but then open the game and they’re not there. (This was before i knew what unlockable characters were)
Ahhh the memories from 2008 and ‘09. I was much more lighthearted and innocent. Not to say I’m not lighthearted or innocent these days. It’s just that the past few years have been challenging. The only struggle I had when this game first came out was homework from school.This game always has a special place in my heart. I even remember that before I completed the subspace emissary, I was trying to complete the Great Maze for so long. There were a few times when I thought the maze was just a goose chase or something. But one day I finally finished reviving all the fighters and went through the right door. And my prayer was answered that day. I finally unlocked Sonic as a playable character in the story and defeated Tabuu. And then the final cinematics played and I couldn’t believe that the sub space emissary was over. I still get emotional to this day. I hope there will a Super Smash Bros movie one day…. A Nintendo Cinematic Universe
I Remember So Much Of How I Would Listen To This Intro Instead Of Skipping Because, This Intro Is Legit One Of The Most Nostalgic Intros I've Heard In 9 Years
@@eloygarcia9221 ultimate actually helped. It got people to see the lacking story from the recent two while making the wiiu/3ds less relevant while getting people to move on from melee
I'm pretty certain I'm the only one who did this, but whenever I watched this intro as a kid, I would actually mute the TV and put on the Crush 40 version of "His World." To me, it matched so well and was rad as all get out!
Brawl might be bad as a competitive game, but it has the best intro, the best story mode, and every song here slaps, meta knight might have been broken but tbh, as a kid who just played the game for fun and with friends, no one ever noticed, I picked it cause I just love meta knight
It just hit me that the cliff in Ultimate where they face Galeem is the same cliff in Brawl during that intro part. Also, the only reason I even got this game was because I couldn't remember the name of a Smash fangame, and my mom thought this was it. (I only had Melee at the time, and the fangame I played was Super Smash Flash 1.)
To many years had pass from the last time I play this game but it doesnt mean that I forgot those stories and this intro only gives me good memories of those times
I heard a tale, regarding of a man Who faced his enemies and brought his country to freedom I heard a tale, regarding of a man Who walks among the land and scorches all into ashes I heard a tale of that warrior I heard a tale of that warrior Worshipped by everyone, I also worship him Dreaded by everyone as I do And now, he’s by my side And now, he’s by my side And now, I am not alone Friends with my heroes Along with their foes of their narrative Then everytime we fight, enter a time When our spirits will strongly shine!
My childhood. I was born in 2010 but my family had brawl, I was someone who ate stuff like disks so this was no different. I never beaten the story mode, got to Zero Suit Samus + Pikachu part. Like if there’s 3 levels with them like the 2nd level.
i mean its not that huge, we barely had any third party reps which made the incluision of wario feel kinda eh, snake and sonic were cool though but the big ass crossovers started with 4 and ultimate.
Damn am I glad that I bought this game, because I didn't have it and the cover looked interesting and amazing! It's also better than ultimate because story mode!
Does anyone else think this is the best intro to a super smash bros game and in general
bruh this is like one of the best intros ever
This is the best intro and the best introduction music 💜💜

Me and my siblings tell everyone who plays this game with us to never skip the intro.
Bro same any time I have company over and we play brawl I immediately say “we are not skipping this”
3 year olds don’t play smash
At least you have to be 7 year old
This intro always brings a tear to my eyes

Everytime

When we're old and grey, our children will ask about this game. And we will spin them a tale of a game. We will tell them about Super Smash Bros.
@Joshua Fancher Same fam
Dude I have every smash game and show all my children and grand children these games
With my kids getting into gaming now, gotta show them smash Bros. Got it on emulator

Ultimate is great but brawl had more... I guess maybe you’d call it personality
It died with smash 4

thats cap, brawl had uhhh animated cutscenes and uhhhh they had uhhh solid snake? sonic was there too i guess?

What I’m saying bro. Don’t really understand why Brawl is hated so much. I personally enjoyed it
Ppl saying brawl was bad, they just never played this game or they are just saying that because Ultimate had less characters, but no matter how many characters there are, this will always be the best
They're not saying it's bad... They're saying it's bad competitive wise. It's an amazing game if you don't play competitive.
Wait a minute what's that
Subspace?
Alright let me try it
OMG 10/10 PERFECT

i wish i could go back in time to re experience this
This intro is one of the highest best most shining moments in gaming history; the contrast could be the existence of Balan Wonderworld.
this intro gives me that good feeling when you wash you're blankets and take a bath clean and fresh
I can't believe they didn't try to reuse this for Ultimate. Such a 🔥🔥🔥🔥 song.

Not the best, but certainly the most memorable and influential.

Words cannot describe how nostalgic this is to me
I emulated this game a couple months ago to see it again and I must say this game is still my favorite
Just like the melee intro I get chills every time.

To many years had pass from the last time I play this game but it doesnt mean that I forgot those stories and this intro only gives me good memories of those times

Who faced his enemies and brought his country to freedom
I heard a tale, regarding of a man
Who walks among the land and scorches all into ashes
I heard a tale of that warrior
I heard a tale of that warrior
Worshipped by everyone, I also worship him
Dreaded by everyone as I do
And now, he’s by my side
And now, he’s by my side
And now, I am not alone
Friends with my heroes
Along with their foes of their narrative
Then everytime we fight, enter a time
When our spirits will strongly shine!

The nostalgia 🥲
The best intro of all Smash Bros.

Honestly, this intro is among the ranks of Bioshock and AC II
gosh it gives you mad goosebumps

That Marvel vs. Capcom 2 character scroll in the beginning is the best part.

it may not have been the best smash game
but my god this intro will never not be perfect

Tho i did rage at this game couple of times as a kid during the walkthrough sometimes. But is still a nostalgic hit.
