Dear Smashers,

Super Smash Bros., is a really GOOD video game produced in the late 1990s, is considered by most art historians and cultural anthropologists to represent the unification of all the all the various artistic and social trends of the past three thousand years of human existence. In the game, characters battle on a platform in the air, attempting to weaken their opponents until they can throw them from the platform. Through cutting use of metaphor and allegory, the game illuminates the poignant truths of human existence—the tragically transitory nature of victory, the bitterness of being interrupted in the midst of beating someone up by having another person throw a bomb at you, and the chilling knowledge that if a huge gorilla grabs you, he's probably going to kill you.

Although Super Smash Bros. in its modern form could not be properly conceived of before the invention of computers and processors, the idea of fictional animals battling on a platform in the air seems to have been hardwired into the human psyche, and rudimentary forms of the game appeared as early as 411 BC. In that year, in a brief interlude from the brutal warfare, senseless massacres, and relentless smack talk that usually characterized their relationship, Athens and Sparta attempted to settle their differences in an elaborate and ritualized form by swinging dummies around a stage on ropes, counting the damage percentage on each sides' character on a scoreboard below the stage.[1] Tragically, this attempt was doomed by the fact that keeping track of percentages in ancient Greek numerals is bloody impossible, and the two sides returned to war rather quickly.

When Super Smash Bros. was finally released in the mid 1990s, literary and film critics were awed by the degree of detailed reference and symbolism contained in the game. Comparisons were immediately made to James Joyce's Ulysses and Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. In fact, Super Smash Bros. contains references to both those works; Fox's reflective shield evokes Nabokov's use of unreliable first person narration to "reflect" the responsibility of judgement on the reader, and the fact that certain attacks can launch the victim in the opposite direction of the kick or punch thrown symbolizes the way Ulysses makes absolutely no sense. Beyond this level, the game also contains numerous references so obscure that only experts are capable of understanding them; Captain Falcon's exclamations of "Falcon Punch!" and "Falcon Kick!" are in fact subtle parodies of the misuse of the Latin imperative in papal encyclicals between 1050 and 1680 AD. Similarly, Pikachu's midair direction changes are a humorous take on the political maneuvering by which Stalin rose to power in the 1920s. [6]

On the level of religious allegory, the single player mode of the game presents a unified narrative of the various religious texts of the world, incorporating elements from sources as diverse as the Bible, the writings of Confucius, and the Necronomicon. In addition, we have received word that it also alluded to Yoshi's Story, but we were under the assumption that this was a video game. Oh well, screw the whole business, we really don't care.



May this be a moral guide for future pie making and have a wonderful light year.

Don't forget the fact that we're all toys, manipulated by a "master hand". But thank you for this quality post.

Now, if you'll excuse me. *falconkicks out of thread*

When exactly are you going? The date of the next tournament looks to be September 1st. Tell your friends to come too, though these tournaments won't be anywhere in Mississauga.
