Hello smashers. This thread is here to discuss The Smash Brothers. I'll try to answer any questions and keep this top post updated as an FAQ.

So I guess... MORE TO COME!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I watch these episodes?
A: On my youtube channel EastPointPictures or on my website, www.eastpointpictures.com.

Q: Where are all the name tags?
A: The lack of a lot of name tags was a conscious stylistic choice. In many shots I decided it either wasn't important to the story or their name was too ridiculous it would distract from what they were talking about at that moment. If viewers are curious, the final episode lists them all for reference.

Q: What was up with Gee playing when they flew to Japan? KPop, hello?!
A: Funny story, this song was chosen by a donor who gave over 150 dollars to see the project get made. I made the call to put it during the Japan trip because, honestly, there wasn't any other place to put it. During the remaster it will be replaced with the Japanese version.

Q: What's this song at xx:xx?
A: If you look at the credits in episode 9, it's almost entirely song titles put in chronological order. That should help, though it should also be noted not all of these artists have music up and available yet. That will hopefully change soon if this gets a big enough profile.

Q: What's a Kopimi?
A: Kopimi is a fascinating and innovative ideology in regards to information sharing. Check out the wikipedia article on it.

Q: What's next for Samox and EPP?
A: I'm going to be working on the extra content for the next few months until the dvds roll out. The extra content will eventually make its way into the public, but for now I want it to be exclusive for those who shelled out extra.

Q: I donated so I could get a DVD. When's that jazz happening?
A: Hopefully soon. If you donated, I should have your email / contact info. I will contact you beforehand to confirm your shipping address.

Q: Can I buy a DVD now that it's released?
A: Unfortunately, because I don't own all the rights to the media I used, no. If this project got so big that demand was high enough, rights could feasibly be secured for a proper release.

Q: Why didn't you cover SilentSpectre/PP/Armada/Gimpy/Forward/Anyone else I really like?
A: If I had the time or the money, I would have tried. Just one man here guys.

Q: What was that anime from Episode 3?
A: 5 Centimeters Per Second.

Q: What did you change in the remaster?
A: It was a lot of little things I'll try to detail here:

- Audio hiss smoothed out for Wife, Prog, Chillin and some other interviewees.
- Gee updated to Japanese version.
- Some very small content changes.
- Credits updated.

Actually, that doesn't take much space to explain.

Unfortunately, I'm not planning to sell the DVD after the premiere. You still have T minus 6 hours to make that donation. ;)

Episodes range from 20 all the way to almost 40 for one of them. Most are in between.

I believe in another thread you said it would be airing at 9pm Michigan time. Michigan is EST. In this thread you said it'll air at 10pm EST. Which is correct?

pc chris better be in this. he bridged the gap between mew2king and humanity during m2k's prime

i ****ing love pc chris

legend has it he didn't even have a cube when he was dominating...

edit: like a lot of pc chris. AR, M2K, Ken have their legacies cemented goat status but they slack on pc, he deserves way more recognition. his vegas set vs koreandj and oc3 vs m2k are some of my fav ever. m2k shoulda won oc3 but the robot has emotions. mad props to PC Chris

what do you think about #thesmashbrothers ?
I think you're better off going with anything that includes "Documentary". Otherwise people will just be like "yeah, okay... Smash Bros. is cool..." and ignore it. If you at least make it #SmashBrosDocumentary people will be a bit more intrigued.

My pleasure guys. FYI, I'm remixing the audio to make it better.

Remastered version drops October 26th.

That teaser on MIOM had my jaw on the floor. I just realized this whole documentary is about 4.5 hours long - better start now!

So happy this is finally out. Been following since the beginning! The first episode was fantastic, and I'll be watching the rest tomorrow.

Major props samox!

So good. Loved episode 3, so many feels. Really informative too; despite being a part of the community for such a long period of time, I never knew things like the premise behind Isai's Mel tag in his tourney matches. Hope things work out and he gets his dream girl, whoever that may be.
