smash is a series i do like, I've poured tons of hours into many of the games, brawl was my first game, just like how the Wii was my first console, i don't even like fighting games yet i love smash. but despite this, i feel the series is GREATLY over-hyped and over-praised, seriously. everybody keeps on saying how "legendary" the series is, okay what makes it so "legendary"? is it the novelty of having all these Nintendo characters together? if so, wouldn't the novelty have worn off by now? is it because it's been able to stay consistent in quality for the past 2 decades? well one thing you have to keep in mind is that there have only been 6 games in the series, not to mention there are plenty of series other than smash that have been able to keep a consistent streak in quality, Kirby, Mario kart, donkey Kong country, all these series have had consistently good games for far longer than smash ever has, not to mention the only reason smash got more games in the first place is because Nintendo forced Sakurai to make more. all of the astronomical praise and special treatment smash gets comes across as more of a circle-jerk to me more than anything. pretty much every Nintendo direct MUST feature smash according to the fans, dude, the world doesn't revolve around smash, Nintendo doesn't revolve around smash and never will, it's not Nintendo's biggest system seller, and it's not the only franchise worthy of praise! i don't think the series itself is bad, i just think the quality of the games is blown WAY out of proportion, i seriously cannot think of another series that gets the same amount of praise and special treatment that smash does.
I've been keeping quiet about these opinions since i figured i would get backlash with phrases such as "you're to blind and/or stupid to see why the series is so legendary" "you're not a true Nintendo fan" and i know i will probably make quite a number of smash fans angry, but in all honesty, i don't care, i just wanted to get these opinions out of my system. maybe i should just take a break from smash and actually TRY to acknowledge other series existence, unlike the smash fandom.
