History

Super Smash Bros. was introduced in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. Originally a low-budget game that was exclusive to Japan, it was released worldwide after selling over a million copies in Japan. It featured eight characters from the start, with four unlockable characters, all of them from Nintendo games. Super Smash Bros. ... 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

Super Smash Bros. Melee was released in 2001 for the GameCube. It had a larger budget and development team [2] and was released to much greater praise and acclaim. It featured 25 characters; of those, 14 were new characters and 11 had to be unlocked. It also had more modes. Melee has since sold seven million copies and is the top-selling game on the GameCube.

On May 10, 2006, Nintendo unveiled a trailer for the third game of the series, which was titled Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Gameplay

The Super Smash Bros. series is a dramatic departure from many fighting games in the simplicity of its controls. Instead of long and complicated combos, players use combos by precise changes in the analog stick. These simplistic controls have made the game easy to pick up and difficult to master and have been the main defining difference that separates Super Smash Bros. from other fighters.

The second major difference from other fighting games is how damage is counted. While most fighting games give players a life bar that depletes as the character is injured, Super Smash Bros. uses a percentage system. As characters get attacked, their percentage rises (up to a possible total of 999%). The higher the percentage, the farther the character flies when struck by an attack. A player is KO'ed when they are hit so far that they are unable to return to the platform which the fighting takes place on, or they fly very far and hit the KO walls or ceiling. Heavier characters can take more damage before being sent flying, but because of their larger size, they are bigger targets and have a harder time getting back. On the opposite side of the spectrum, light characters are small and hard to hit, but one or two hits can send them flying.

A third difference is the inclusion of items. While most fighting games require you to fight simply using your attack moves, the Super Smash Bros. series allows items to fall from the sky, either by themselves or in crates, barrels, capsules and, on certain occasions, eggs. These items have a variety of uses, ranging from landmines to blaster guns. Perhaps the most famous item is the Pokéball, which allows for a random pokemon to come out of a pokeball and do an attack, i.e. using a Cyndaquil will unleash a small fire attack. These Pokémon are not able to fight on their own, which is something that the Pokémon-related characters can only do. Cyndaquil (ãƒ’ãƒŽã‚¢ãƒ©ã‚· Hinoarashi in Japanese, Feurigel in German, Hericendre in French, and Beukein (ë¸Œì¼€ì¸) in Korean) is a fictional creature of the PokÃ©mon Franchise. ...
