Some people like it, but honestly Brawl's constant edgy and gritty atmosphere was a turn off most of the time. It was cool at first, as I'd never seen characters like Mario and Pikachu in such a light before, and sometimes it works out such as in the SSE, but ultimately it just feels weird now and didn't age well at all.
That's why, when Smash 4 showed itself to go in the complete opposite direction by making everything colorful and vibrant, I really felt more attached to that game. I could stare at the characters' official poses just marveling at how good they looked together, and I feel like this pays some homage to the original Smash and how it was just a frantic, cartoonish showdown of Nintendo characters. It doesn't take itself too seriously and is just overall a feel-good game.
So here we are at Smash 5. Just from the teaser, maybe it'll go back to the darkness of Brawl, who knows. However, this time it'll be in HD (or close to it), so I have a better feeling about it. If they can pull off a medium between Brawl and Smash 4, I'd be a happy camper.
