The series is based on (of course) the "Super Smash Bros." series. The most recent installment is very much like SSBB in terms of gameplay.

Hasn't this thread already been made?
Well, yes. I suppose it has, but those threads (2 of them, I believe) are outdated and are no longer active. I have decided to create a new up-to-date thread for those who still play it, or would like to.
