hope you enjoyed this history lesson of all the 5 smash bros games! I've never played smash 64, and so hearing about that ban aspect with pikachu was especially interesting to me
I played melee like twice in college ever, barely played it but i know a decent amount cause of the melee scene. the history there is very fleshed out and is always the most fun to retell- still think they're second just cause of puff and ice climbers being especially prevalent ;)
Brawl was my first love, and despite being considered the most "flawed" it managed to be my favorite game as a kid and still holds a place in my heart today. meta knight still busted tho lmaoo
smash 4 i finally started to follow the competitive scene, and man bayonetta was something else. really not fun to watch as a viewer so i can only imagine how that was for competitors
and finally we have Ultimate! the game i currently play and the one i'm most adept at. despite this game having probably the largest community, and thus subject to more hate, i still stand by putting it at the least hated due to the reasons in the vid.
smash is a beautiful thing, and so i hope people can embrace the games with all its flaws (even bayo!!)

Oh gosh that is insanely epic. Gotta love salty smash players.
Oh my god that is amazing
@@isaakludwig8807 I hate when people are called salty for getting mad when they're getting wobbled or 0 to deathed. I feel like their anger is justified because the other player is being an asshole
And also being camped out
Apparently melee is the best though.
Fun fact: Cloud in Smash 4 Doubles was statistically more dominant than Meta Knight was in Brawl Singles.
Who the fuck cares about doubles ?
@@mr.catfish1993 facts
well yeah but isn’t that expected? if you have a 4 player gamemode it’s just naturally gonna be more likely to have a given character in a match than in a 2 player gamemode
@@mr.catfish1993 oh crap opinion given
@@BIGAMBERFAN that’s the joke
Interesting fact: apparently when MkLeo killed the Ridley player with the Bayonetta 0 to death in the smash bros ultimate demo, the developers and employees sitting next to Sakurai saw him shake his head when it happened like "crap, she's still BUSTED"
To be fair I don't think plup knew how to DI bayo stuff but still funny regardless lmao
Leo low key saved Ultimate by doing that.
Thank you Leo
It was on an illegal sage with hazards on to be fair.
@@waffleman8053 so? The combo still worked just like in smash 4 WITHOUT using items and the stage was very similar to the legal stages, the items and stage did nothing
@@santiagoherrera1853 Ridley lost a whole stock from the bombs on Green Greens, Also she was comboing RIDLEY! the character that is famous for being "Too big".
MKLeo was a martyr for Smash Ultimate. He did the Bayo ladder combo during the exhibition and got booed for it, but you know Sakurai was watching, and that ladder combo alongside the boos is the reason we can't ladder combo in Ultimate
Exactly, after the match a lot of top players convinced the community that he did what needed to be done & that we should be thanking hin for showcasing it.
You are right, and the fans let Sakurai know their feelings twards Bayonetta
bruh wym Bayo we have now is better than the one in the invitational, multiple buffs and she's pretty decent now.
@@resean2727 You know she can't ladder combo, right? You know you can SDI out of it, right?

Hungrybox is such an icon. The amount of salt he mined with his own two hands is more entertaining to me than a Fox mirror could ever be. And he did it against top tiers not with top tiers.
@Sauercloud - Smash Bros nobody even thought that till hungrybox
@Sauercloud - Smash Bros not really mango dropped puff pretty early
@Sauercloud - Smash Bros
I’m gonna say if Hbox never played Smash at all, Puff would not be in the place she is in the tier list today.
@@jesuspernia8031 true, he is the only jiggs in the top 100 in the game's lifespan. M2K played him a little at some point but quickly dropped it, while also maining peach a strong aerial champ.
even the furthest down on the tier list i could see her going shes a high tier
There's not even a debate about what's hated. bayo in smash 4 is WAAAY worse than any thing in melee. In fact I would put brawl over melee just for meta knight alone.
where do u put ur style of zetter
I literally despise players in Brawl or 4Smash that main Meta or Bayo. They just have no life because they’re busted…
I also hate bayo
Yeah. Bayonetta in smash 4 was a joke. So broken and just frustratingly easy to use. Low tiers like what I used (Shulk, about mid C tier) was embarrassingly 0 to bodied in like, 11-12 hit combos. And if I was in shield, I literally would get carried to the blast zone. 😭
@@cloudshines812 so how about Ice climbers? They have to be just as bad, if not worse, right?
Even though Meta Knight was a total bitch to fight and was literally everywhere, you have to admit, he’s rad to play as. I feel like it also emulates how he is in his own games. He’s a total bitch to fight against, but he’s fun as fuck when you get to play as him because he just mows through the competition.
Yeah, even when being played against, at least your fighting agaist someone with some awesome, flashy moves. I also agree with him being like his games. Hard to fight cause he doesn't really have a pattern in his battle and just does some cool shit and an absolute joyride when playing as him.
Galaxia is the strongest sword canonically, so it's dumb, but is an explenation of why Meta-Knight was Transcendent with every move that usted galaxia except drill rush.
Mk dittos were some of the most entertaining sets in brawl
I actually like playing as and against him
That's why he isn't the most hated despite being the best character in the history of the entire series, and one of the most best characters in fighting game history. You still get to play the game, and it's still entertaining to watch. What people hate are characters like ICs, especially the melee version that just get a grab and tap a, and win stocks for free without you getting to play.
Man, I kinda feel bad for the Ice Climbers. It's not really their fault that they had such annoying glitches. At least in Ultimate desyncs are actually really cool.
True tho, and in ultimate the desyncs aren’t free you gotta earn them
And the best part about ultimate's desyncs is that they are not 100% true combos.
Thank's to being able to tech footstools, it's entirely possible to tech out of some of the flashy desyncs. And the ones you can't tech out of usually aren't 0-deaths.
It takes what used to be one player playing the game to an interaction of chasing and escaping the combo for both players.
Too bad icies get camped so hard in this game and don’t have much of an answer like they did with wobbling
Exactly this. I don't think it's that a character can do completely broken stuff that pisses people off so much, its when you don't have to work very hard to be able to do such devastating stuff. Like IC's desync combos in Ult I don't know very many people who hate ICs in Ult mostly because, I think people respect the grind and effort it takes to be able to coax that murder train out of them. I think Fox would have been the most hated character in Melee if he was baby easy ( I know some people definitely hate him) but, because, his tech and skill ceilings are so high it takes lots of dedication to be a sick Fox. All, that said people should be bullying and accosting people for their smash main, I main line smash like every other smash junky but, it's just a game even if it's more than a game to a lot of us.
@@ChiodosBlowsDogs Probably you wrote it bad becouse of the previous text but you said that people SHOULD bully others becouse their smash mains
My most hated Smash character is Sakurai. Dude’s so busted, he can erase and summon characters entirely. Needs a major nerf.
Thata why hes being replaced with a new character in the next installment
@@LelouchOnTwi thats harsh
Clever
waluigi mains petition his ban
@@zcrpt6715 cry some more
I think part of the crowd's reaction from Leo vs Plup wasn't just Bayo. It was also the first time we saw much Ridley gameplay, and Ridley's inclusion was unthinkable before that E3. So to have the first time you see a good player get their hands on Ridley lead to a ladder combo off the top, that was fuel poured on the fire.
People really didn't hate on Leo for it though, a lot of peopleactually thanked him because it put on display just how busted the character still was, and showcasing to sakurai what he had to do. Evwryone gave a lot of shit to the balance patches at first, but sakurai has done such a great job balancing ultimate these past few years.
@@malmasterson3890 she was a balanced high tier at that show case. I hate leo for doing that. Bayonetta was nerfed to bottom 5 after that and has only slowly crawled her way back up to mid tier. No other character other than kirby has been gutted that hard for little reason other than salt.
@@Deme_Diora666why do you hate Leo for that?
@@lukebyru1520 because it was more than obviously on purpose. People who like that she got nerfed that hard also agree leo knew exactly what he was doing. I just think it’s shitty to do that too a character on purpose cause you’re salty about an old game. She didn’t need to be nerfed that hard and the struggle it has been to main a character that was once considered almost as bad an ganondorf and try and have fun has been more than annoying.
@@Deme_Diora666 your hating somebody by assuming, not even knowing they did it intentionally, Leo probably tried bayonetta to see if she was still busted
Cloud would probably have become the most hated Smash 4 character if not for Bayonetta. Bayonetta being in a whole different league of broken saved Cloud from what would have been an enormous amount of vitriol from the community.
I don't see Cloud being hated nearly as much as other really hated characters, but he probably would be hated a decent amount. Cloud players even picked up Bayo because Cloud wasn't airtight perfect like her
I think being Cloud definitely made people hate him less. Like Smash is also a fun party game with your favorite characters so being a well know protagonist from a beloved game did lots to save him from hate.
Fax.
Except for Doubles players.
No, Cloud had a very exploitable recovery. It was his weak spot.
I never understood the "ban Puff" on Melee wobbling I totally get it but Puff is just an annoying to play character but it wasn't an unfair one. In mayors Fox, Falco, Sheik and Marth were still doing great. Puff was campy and boring but not game breaking
Don't worry, players didn't realisticlly wanted puff banned, only redditors
@@TDG386 yah puff is not bad more then I say annoying attest it not bawl with metaknight
@@lloydbagby8355 the Main problem with MK is that he was everywhere, and he was dumbly busted, but that aren't really solid reasons to hate Meta-Knight in comparison to Icies (Meta-Knight could be sick, flashy if the player wanted to, Icies couldn't. Meta-Knight had everything in his kit except a degenerate, unbeatable combo or move, Icies entire meta revolves on something as disgusting as "one grab=one stock", and like Bayo, Icies players Discovered handoffs chaingrabs at the last turn of Brawl popular age, and Meta-Knight was something everyone in Brawl get usted to it (i mean, the Best player in Brawl was every year a Meta-Knight main, with only once losing his throne to icies in 2014) ).
@@TDG386 yah and why ice climbers got nuffed in ultimate
Problem with puff is that to beat Puff you have to play Puff, play Fox, or maybe play Falco or Marth. Plus she has one of the best punish games with being super floatly, having the best crouch in the game going under 90% of grabs, having an insta kill move except on certain characters on certain stages, and having the best recovery in the game. In Melee, a large amount of the punish game is edge guarding. Thus, this made the punish game against puff very little and imo weighted the punish game in her favor in basically all match ups even Fox. For marth specifically, you had to use a technique that was about a 1 frame input to even have a punish game against her.
Are we gonna talk about how Leo saved ultimate from bayos second reign of terror by showing her brokenness in front of sakurai
bayo was a balanced high tier in the e3 build I'm so sad we lost her
@@ValToadstool She's a very balanced mid tier now, with good combos and one really specific zero to death, instead of 3 that are easy to hit and work on any character. I think she's pretty cool now versus her smash 4 predecessor.
@@tylersmith5282 she’s low tier… there’s nothing bayo can do if the opponent doesn’t approach, she has no neutral game and a lot of her moves gave unecessary jank that only make them worse than they need to be.
@@Averdein I disagree but I can see where you're coming from with that, I think her combo game is what lifts her up just a bit more than low tier
@@Averdein didn't the jab buff making it a kill confirm give her a powerful new option though

*Meta Knight gets killed off of one grab*
People who hated him for being OP: "perhaps I judged you to harshly"
Lol
@Jackson C
Meta Knight is top tier? Huh...
It actually isn’t too accurate to say Jigglypuff saw her rise in Melee due to Hbox. Mango was the best player with her in 08/09 and it wasn’t until later that Hbox broke through. Even then he was one of the less dominant gods until 2015 onwards
the mang0 puff arc
This is a massive omission and is indicative of a real lack of understanding behind how Puff earned her reputation in the community. Puff was already plenty hated during Mang0's rise to #1, but not to nearly the same extent as when Hbox became the face of the character. If you watch their Puffs side by side it becomes incredibly apparent why that was; Mang0 and Hbox's playstyles were polar opposites, and crowd reactions to them mirrored that dichotomy. It didn't help that some of Hbox's many contributions to the character's meta included things like planking on the ledge for the entire 8 minute timer, and standing up during sets in order to see his opponent's DI on their controller. Contrasting how people lost their minds watching Mang0's Puff at Genesis 1 vs how crowds have reacted to 90% of Hbox's sets throughout Melee's history does a really good job illustrating how Hbox's approach to the game painted the community's perception of the character every bit as much as the character herself
@@SoManySharks I wasn’t talking about the character being hated. I don’t at all disagree that the massive hate for Puff in large part came in response to Hbox due to his style of play (which Mango obviously contrasts with but Mango was also loved despite Puff for Mango reasons lol), I was just saying that it was known she was a great character before Hbox. Also, as far as I know the DI thing was hardly common and definitely isn’t now, it really doesn’t have much to do with anything beyond a bit of extra ammo to use against Hbox. A more relevant out of game thing Hbox has been hated for is his refusal to play friendlies with top players, to limit their ability in the matchup. Even the planking isn’t usually *that* prevalent, a lot of it is just keeping to the side of the stage in general especially around platforms and boxing out approaches. And it’s worth noting that despite the widespread hate of Puff very much coming with Hbox, top players like Armada and M2K definitely hated this character even before Hbox’s rise, due to Mango.
@@BeyondFables I was talking about the poster of the video BTW, not you. Though I agree with pretty much everything you said
@@BeyondFables people were hating on puff back when mango was playing her. We got that legendary scar commentary moment because of how much he hated her. Iirc, mango switch to prove to everyone he wasn't carried by puff and was tired of dealing with the hate
Pika and Meta knight were OP but Bayo legit killed the scene for s4.
Nah man, it was already dead by then. Honestly I think what really killed it was Zero Retiring along with the new game being announced.
@@alfredpeverly2093 Not when MKLeo was on the rise. Zero admitted one factor to retiring was because he knew he couldn't win vs MKLeo. MKLeo was Smash 4's hero, using Marth who wasn't seen as high tier yet. He could beat Clouds, and he was the best shot for beating Bayo. The question people asked was if he could of made it to EVO 18 could he of prevented grand finals. If he quit the game, it would of died.
Mind you EVO 18 was the last major for Smash 4 and it drew it 1.3K entrants. It wasn't dead.
@@alfredpeverly2093
Cloud also didn't help. Being such an easy yet broken character who covered basically all of Bayo's bad MU'S (all two of them) basically eliminated the counterpick meta.
I agree with the message this video sends. It's fine to hate a character, especially if they're legitimately busted, but it's *never* okay to hate a player because they play that character. (Other reasons might apply, but the character shouldn't be one under most circumstances)
See I agree but then again, if a character has a broken mechanic and as a player you exploit it to win, I think it’s fair to give them some shit for it. Now like in melee where hbox used puff, that’s not reason to cause it’s not the character broken mechanics you hate, you simply just don’t like the play style and think it’s boring. But an exploit that literally deletes stocks and you use it to your advantage, well at that point I also blame the player.
@@pinkzki6473 If it's an exploit then you shouldn't blame the player but Nintendo
If there's a problem then it need to be patched
People from r/smashrage need to hear this
@@jambon2730 my dude quit protecting those players. Any gamer that uses exploits and glitches to get the upperhand in the game are just arsholes.
As understandable as that is you have to understand that toxic people really don't give any damns. This has being going on since melee. Gonna have to accept it since smash is a broken tier toxic community.

Surprised the infamous stalling situation at smash4 Evo finals wasn't mentioned when talking about Bayo, that shit was rancid.
Though I suppose that was more about the players being awful and that went against the 'don't be an asshole' message.
Are you referring to the two Bayos that charged Neutral-B for a ton of time?
@@ResistancePasta Aye yeah, the TOs had to get involved and told them to finish the match iirc.
that was indeed shitty but god damn is it hilarious looking back
@@borkbork9541 But I thought that those two players were doing that as revenge against everyone that harrassed them for playing Bayo?
@@ResistancePasta I'd argue all it did was cement Bayo as the character that destroyed interest in sm4sh competitively, but I'll admit I hadn't heard that side of the situation before.

Well, that's Leffen for ya, always whiny, if not pretty terrible for how toxic he can be.
But did you see when Armada basically quit a tournament, for not having the "right" kind of "broken controller" to fit his needs? For how it seems to offer like a small fraction of an advantage, over most controllers. Armada being yet another Melee player, complains about pettiest things.
@@byronlyons3548 oh god the controller fuss lol, obviously don't think customs should be banned but like customisation should be cosmetic or for durability, the extra notches some guys add to make some combos easier to perform is clearly an unfair paid advantage.
Actually find it kinda funny how pc competitive gaming actively tries to minimize the wealth advantage while console competitive will actively force people to ship overseas versions to get a specific patch available lol
I swear Leffen is the biggest clown in all of melee
I remember hearing something along the lines of "oh and that's the stock... oh right, he's coming back from that because Bayonetta. And there's a witch time, and that'll be game. There you go."
The Smash 4 meta just died when Bayo dropped. Yeah using her was complicated, but it wasn't fun to even watch those matches.
But hey, Brawl was that way from the beginning with Meta Knight. Just horrible, horrible balance.
And look how many bloody people played Meta Knight in Brawl and then never again, and Bayo in 4 and then never again. "I just really like the character" my ass.
i call those people fairweather gamers. they stand by that character... until he/she/it drops from the meta, then they instantly gravitate towards the next top tier, and suddenly always liked it
@@Underworlder5 For me I had kind of the opposite effect. In 4 I was a Palutena/Corrin main. But in Ultimate I dropped Corrin because gameplay wise, I just could not recapture the magic. Palutena stayed my main up until I Pyra/Mythra dropped and with testing I found better success with them. In a senes they were like my Corrin in 4. A swordfighter that played more unconventionally. Oddly despite Palutena's massive tier jump from 4 I kinda liked her old move set-up more.
eh, not really. sm4sh went from "that game nobody likes because nobody can actually kill" to "that game nobody likes because only one character can actually kill". it was never a particularly popular game, like, there's a reason ultimate gets summits and sm4sh didnt (and, to be clear, i genuinely loved sm4sh)
@@SupermarketSweep777 interesting. i always found palutena a bit clunky and cumbersome in smash 4, to the point of being my least favorite to play. in ultimate she is one of my better characters. the increase in speed on her tilts and merging counter and reflect into one move helped immensely with that. ike has always been my favorite since brawl though. if only his games were not such a pain to get...
Nick:I Hate "Hate"
Also Nick In Mario Party:FUTA, I HATE YOU VERNIAS
I think it's interesting the game with the most characters by far is suprisingly balanced and doesn't have that one character that is OP.
Everyone has at least one broken mechanic or move in the game. Most people who hate characters in ultimate just have a tough time playing against them, we all have to learn the matchup!!
First of all, I gotta say: the fact that this video's like ratio isn't garbage says a lot about the presentation. (Good job!)
My only gripe is that you didn't look at the current state of melee all that much. Puff is still unpopular but as top players catch up to hbox, especially over the wifi era, his hate has decreased a lot. Or with ICs, even tho wobbling is banned, there is still an infinite they can do but it's harder to pull off and even a little flashy. Sadly there hasn't been a player to showcase that potential since the ban
Seriously, you’re going to QUIT because a character is broken?! EVERYTHING IN MELEE IS BROKEN! This is why people think it’s any good; it’s not the gameplay or the strategy, it’s the game breaking that people like.
Don't worry:
1. Plup didn't quit.
2. We wanted to a break from Hungrybox (yes, HBox, because N-O-B-O-D-Y was as good as HBox with the character except 2008-09 Mang0) AND wobbling.
“It’s a feature”
Love these types of “smash history” videos.

Honestly I think kazuya is gonna start seeing some really big hate as his reflector kills at zero and he combos super easily to kill percents and Steve just doing nonsense up tilts and getting u caught to a spike without any option out is just broken for the sake of buy me and no actual balance and thought went into those 2 it’s really not even ur bad it’s just there actually busted characters those 2 I seriously would fight ness n g&w anytime hands down over those 2
@@twotamatos Why do you think I hate kazuya? Only thing that rivals him is min min.
@@DunkTasticMan not saying u I hate him
I would still call out the players who abuses exploits and glitches to make the game annoying for others. They know what they are doing.
Other than that stalking, harassment over some game, we know where the line is drawn
As jigglypuff main in every game, i know the feel of being hated
I respect the hell out of you. Brawl and 4 Puff wee hot garbage, and she is barely better in Ult.
I’m a Bayo main and our top player representation was ass. Made us look bad.😏
Glad it’s changed now.
Same
Gonna be blunt, I think puff is hype as crap. Rest is super hard to land and is just insane when it either whiffs or hits.
I just don't get how puff is having when fox camps just as much with his dumb laser.
Rly difficult yes
Zoners in general are hype, just a shame that puff is """""not melee""""" so no one there even tries to enjoy and pop off for good stalling and neutral.
@@Shuriport good stalling rly fun to watch

Cool, yes? Creative, yes?
@@MikeyCyan yes back air is alot cooler
10:00 half true, mang0 pushed puff more than hbox did back when mang0 mained her, but when he switched for spacies, hbox was the only puff to push the caracter farther
15:20 The Stage They Played on has a Small Ceiling known for the low percent Deaths off the top or sides
Didnt stop the fact it was still the cause for her major nerfs in ultimate
Personal opinion: "Competitive" gaming is killing the industry. People only think about tournaments and the meta of the game instead of just having fun.
Not that mant people play smash competitively
you cant make a skill based game thats not competitive
@@-fv Playing games with friends/family and trying to win is fun, but I mean eSports-style competition. That makes things too serious and takes away enjoyability.
@@Lar_me the competitive community does not kill the industry at all. fighting games, with their high learning curve and 1v1 structure, are inherently competitive. in more casual games like smash, the competitive community is a very small minority and does not reflect the game as a whole. besides, some people do think that researching the meta and trying to become the best of the best is fun. it might not be your definiton of fun, but others do enjoy it. i dislike horror games, but i do not go around on horror game videos and say "people only want to be scared instead of just having fun"
Cumulative hatred goes to Ice Climbers, easy. They've had a lot of years.
When i saw the title of the video i was like "How can you make a video about that" but i clicked anyway. Turned out to be a video with a lot of work and research behind. A rly interesting video thank you Nick
I’m still surprised to people “taking a break or quitting Melee because of Puff” because there’s like two (Prince Abu and HungryBox) people who play Puff. It’s not like Meta Knight or Bayo or Pikachu or Cloud where there was a bunch of them in every tournament. There was like 2 and really only one good one
Imagine the Steve section this video would have now haha.
Bayo is the only one who was so hated that they got nerfed to death so that answers that.
2:50 Ok but this ignores the fact that all Sonic players smell funny
As a sonic player I can confirm
What pisses me off is that mango and hbox are the only puffs that played aggressive and were risky but when the community started to Camp with jigglypuff all the hate went to hbox, like bro he doesn’t play campy and safe. The community does not him
I definitely think you should have talked more about Smash4 Cloud, he was super easy to play so you'd see him all the time online and anyone could pick him up as a pocket character.
this video might need a remake after the steve bans lmao
A lot of people seem to think that people only play a character for the way they play when a lot of them just like the character itself.
I feel bad for the Sonic mains who decided to play one of the most iconic characters ever but get hate because of his playstyle
@@KingTruffles sonic is a cocky risk taker whose games have always taken speedrunning into consideration, yet his smash playstyle is safe and slow
The times before steve and kazuya i remember them. Still have fun with kazuya though
Nick, thank you for delivering this message in the form of a well edited, in depth video
This aged a little poorly with Steve becoming the definitive numero uno and kazuya being well…kazuya.
This isn’t even a competition, bayo wins.
Evo 2018 in a nutshell
I have to assume you weren't around for Brawl Metaknight if you think there's no competition.
@@LetterNumber Brawl meta knight really wasn’t that bad.
@@LetterNumber Brawl Meta Knight was overpowered as fuck but didn't get the same hate, probably because he was the most fun character by far too in a game which was so slow and dull for many characters. The problem with brawl wasn't that Meta Knight was too good, but that everyone else wasn't good enough
Id probably say melee jigglypuff is the most hated smash character. Remember when hbox almost got assassinated by a crab?
Sakurai hates minmin for embarrassing him during the presentation. That look in his face said, she's going to get nerfed.
I’m pretty sure Pikachu and Min Min are the most hated characters in Ultimate. Palutena is a close contender as wel
I don't get the hate for Min Min. Why is she hated?
@@thephantomsplit f-smash, (more specifically the dragon but they all suck), up-smash reflects because dlc privilege, makes the game incredibly lame, can smash attack in the air, and did I mention f-smash? Because it is fucking annoying.
@@dothog1401 gotcha
Nick: I hate, hate. also Nick when playing Mario Party: VERNIAS YOU SUCK
1:58
Steve: the more you don’t know… the better
I think the Jiggs hate is really bad. Like, someone threw a lobster or crab at Hungrybox after a game just because he played Puff. And like TCNick said, hate the character, not the player.
This video needs an update for the bullshit that is DLC characters in Smash Ultimate and their massive move pool, long attack range and busted counters. It's not fun when people can pay to win.
I didn't realize this was a TCNick video until the outro started, damn.
I definitely figure Min Min is going to be the most disliked character in Ultimate, down the line. She has a very campy playstyle, her weaknesses up close aren't nearly as salient as other zoners', and people are probably still sore from how utterly easy it was for her to kill someone from center-stage with the Dragon head's laser on F-Smash off stage, and just, invalidate many recoveries that way- I can't exactly say I disagree personally, either...
Shoutouts to Byleth for being "another Fire Emblem character", and the last character in a Fighter's Pass otherwise full of way out-there third party guest characters, including Terry and his 50 Tracks of KoF music he brought with (though fortunately that seems to have died down considerably.)
She's honestly not that bad. Sure she is very annoying to fight, but for one thing I rarely ever see anyone actually using her and whenever someone does I can legit bully them with Ganondorf... that should say enough
I think Steve will get more hate.
“hate the character, not the player”
-TCNick3 2021
Please never stop using Persona 5 music.
Thankfully, I never really cared about the metas at that time. I just really started playing thanks to Daisy. xD
I wonder how the last DLC of Ultimate will impact the game.
How much you wanna bet they accidentally drop a meta bomb on the game like with smash 4
Thankfully he wasn’t a meta bomb, he was just kinda lame
My first thought: "Mii's". Some Places have very concentrated hate towards them. (looking at you, Finland.) Tons of Top players hate them, tons of lower level players hate them, tons of Ok players hate them, and not even because of the moveset. Because they are Mii's.
Characters that should have never existed:
Male Robin the Pedophile
Female Corrin the Whorrin Idol
add in the Disney Anime Character too for good measure.
there's really just so much more to life than hating characters in fighting games, man
Honestly sometimes I wish Bayonetta was never added into smash 4 in the first place, im not even into smash, im just a fan of the actual Bayonetta series and its tiring looking for Bayo centered content and just seeing never ending rivers of hate for one of my favorite characters, as well as just mountains of really annoying ooc crossover content from people who only know her from smash. Her inclusion into smash did bring more attention to her series but goddamn did it come with a cost.
So ice climbers are hated because if they grab you once they can do an infinite combo and get a guaranteed kill, but jigglypuff is hated since she plays differently than other characters? I don't get melee players lol
He is just lame to watch
11:49 poor M2K, makes me wanna cry 🤣
This video need to get updated with Steve and Kazuya.
Shocked you never mentioned Evo 2018
I would say even ultimate can get toxic because "Kazuya dominates" heck I have been told I am omega carried because I play Kazuya a lot of people just say I am carried. I dont know what Kazuya did other then be a really hard character. Idk people dislike being out played ig
I know Kazuya has some broken abilities, (as a R.O.B. main, I am jealous of his neutral b) but I never found him utterly busted because of how out of place and immobile he feels.
Same with Pyra/Mythra. Literally every single Sparg0 or Cosmos set has comments on how they're using a broken P2W character and how they're carried and don't deserve their spotlights. Every time a Pythra gets KO'd in a 15-second clip on youtube, there's a massive chain of comments circlejerking about how they're a bad inclusion. If anything they're not far from Bayo levels of hate in certain places. They're top tier for sure, and they're honestly not that hard to pick up, but they can still get destroyed by a Little Mac or Ganondorf, which I feel is more of a testament to Ultimate's somewhat impeccable balancing but it's still sad to see.
@@premonitiative Just Imagine hating a 15 y/o lad.
@@themetagamer7862 Neither i do, i mean, despite being much Better Ryu, Kazuya has some exploitable weaknesses (just as the rest of the DLCs desíte how broken they can appear).
For example, some of his combos can easily be SDI'd, as well he can have a hard time dealing with disjointed characters or zoners.
@@premonitiative
Cosmos, the second best Aegis in the world, got aerial warlock punched. They definitely are not so broken they deserve their hate. Yes, they are broken, but they do have clear flaws and ways to counterplay, tools that are difficult to use, and extremely exploitable weaknesss.
Oh how naïve you guys are... Steve is so hated, he essentially got himself banned for being too broken.
Pikachu was the most consistently good character in the history of Smash but was never anywhere near most hated.
honestly smash ult pikachu is pretty much hated by everybody just not super vocally
Nick talking about not being toxic but is he not a little bit himself ??
0:49 Didn't know Leffen played against Drake, that's crazy
Cloud would probably have become the most hated Smash 4 character if not for Bayonetta. Bayonetta being in a whole different league of broken saved Cloud from what would have been an enormous amount of vitriol from the community.
Thank god I didn't start playing competitive until Ultimate and started maining Bayonetta because I liked her look and sassy attitude. Can't imagine how I'd handle being bullied for the character I hate. Like, imagine grown-ass adults bullying minors for the video game character they play.
P.S. Sm4sh's biggest problem was not Bayonetta, but it was the utterly ridiculous over-tuned rage mechanic. Don't @ me!
@'ing you. Rage was stupid but it was a universal mechanic that everyone had, and it was there for the games whole lifespan.
I think by far the worst thing that came out of rage were ladder combos and single hit kills. Mario and ZSS had ladder combos that killed really leniently with rage in Sm4sh, and they were META because of it. The single hit kills, like with Peach and Samus Up-B, were just jank. Also Lucario Aura + Rage was OD but he wasn't popular at all so.
Aside from that, I don't understand the hate behind rage. In matter of fact, I think it was good in terms of balance because it buffed heavies. I don't think it was the worst mechanic, but I don't think it was as bad as Bayo.
Sm4sh wasn't like Ultimate where there was a pretty even spread of characters. The 10~ characters that were top tier generally dominated top 8's. Similar to what this mentioned about Brawl Meta Knight, tournament players knew most of the top tier match-ups, then Bayo releases. Bayo was top tier at every level of play, people called her the "noob-stomper," except she stomped everyone.
At low level play she was a knowledge check. If you don't know the DI, you get combo'd extremely hard. At higher levels, you know how to DI, but you still have to guess. While some other characters have kill confirms that make you guess, like the hoo-hah, you could be guessing as early as 20%.
Rage was a mechanic that everyone had, that could be jank and be utilized better by some characters, while Bayo was by far the best character in the game that forced players to learn her extremely unconventional matchup or lose, and either way you still have to guess.
Say whatever you want about Brawl Metaknight. But do keep in mind that Metaknight was FAIR. He did not have any chaingrabs, he didn't have any infinites, he did not have any ladder combos, and every single viable character had metaknight only tech that kept the Metaknight player in check.
Now, imagine losing your stock because you got hit/grabbed once at any %. And then complain about Metaknight.
The pros “quitting” because of Puff is honestly so cringe. No one thought the MU was boring or had any problems until HBox started winning. He’s also basically the only Puff that consistently got good results at majors. These people play the exact same matches against Fox/Falco/Marth dozens of times and whine about having to fight a puff 1, 2 max, times a tournament.
But it's lame
@@jajajahdhdhshd9071 oh no a whole 15-20 mins of boredom to get paid to play a video game? Better just quit lmao
I... Can't complain much here, if the quitting is sarcastic then i am completly with you on what you are saying, but i would add shiek to the list of characters that their matchups we're played dozens of times
Everyone hates Yoshi in ssbu, can’t believe you missed that fricker
Yoshi’s super armor double jump hurts lol
This video is beautiful cuz it’s pre Steve for ultimate
This video essay was amazing!!!!! I’m proud of you!!!
The puff vs fox matchup in melee is probably the most interesting matchup in the whole series pairing the strongest offensive character with the strongest defensive character
nick:ME AND EVERYONE THAT PLAYS SMASH HATES SSB64 PICKACHU😡😡😡😡😡
me: FAT PIKACHU IS BAAAACKKK!!!!
As someone who hated smash 4, I am happy about this list
I totally agree with Ultimate. If you play Sonic, Joker, or Olimar you aren’t immediately hated (it’s more based on the play style than the character). While if you play Metaknight/Ice Climbers in brawl then you will be HURT verbally (and maybe physically)!
Oh PLEASE put May in smash. The dolphins alone would put her at the top of the list.
“I call it skill issue“ -an meta knight, ice climber, kirby, and bayonetta player
I don't get the hate for Min Min. She, in my opinion, is the best in Ultimate.
The thing is with min min is that many people see her as needing no skill to play her,especially since she can edge guard a lot of character without ever leaving the stage.I personally despise Wi-Fi MinMin because I play mostly heavyweights and it feels like the game is already over when I see her.
