joke post? JOKE POST
I've seen some OPs start some insanely fleshed out threads, but you really went above and beyond!
And no, it really doesn't suck. I'm sure there are some people who think it does, but I'd think the majority of its players liked it a fair amount. You need to atleast put up something resembling an argument to justify that point.

Nope, easily the best Smash title so far.
You can do most of that in Smash 4 now as well.
It has aeful stage selections. It's clear the dv team used Omega mode as an excuse to make the stages as chaotic as possible which really sucks. Playing on reskinned FD constantly is boring but a lot of the actual stages are complete garbage.
The single player is crap too.

I wish it had a storyline or character endings
bayonetta being in it helps a LOT. but Samus being absolute CHEEKS hurt it for me too
other than that, it's very forgettable for me. it didnt last very long within my friend group.
i think mechanically its good, and it has lots of cool things here and there, but it didn't hold my interest very long for some reason. it's better than brawl but could stand to still be a bit faster than it is. idk, it's a weird game for me. i look back on it and think "i should have loved this" but it never really stuck
i remember when Bayonetta released and i downloaded her and Ryu, played the game for a week, and thought to myself "oh actually i dont like this game at all" and never played it again.

Online is terrible though. I tried playing with GAF and the lag was obnoxious; it accentuated the game's slow-paced feel and makes the game feel sloppy.

I agree it sucks, OP.
No Solid Snake, like what were they thinking?
Real Answer: It's a good game. Gameplay wise I like it more than Melee and Brawl. It has a lot of content and the roster for the most part is pretty great. But the lack of Snake with other iconic third party characters really hurts the game a lot in my eyes. We literally could've had the perfect Playstation All-Stars on WiiU with just Snake and Cloud. Not to mention we no longer have a good trap character to really shake up some of the match ups.

That's debatable. If "quantity of content and lots of fanservice" constitutes "well made" then sure. But Brawl had a lot of questionable design decisions that basically came to be because Sakurai didn't like that Melee was played competitively. They weren't good natured "this will make the game better" decisions, they were deliberately sketchy in order to try to pressure people into playing the game the way he envisioned it.
Smash 4 is disappointing in terms of content. There just isn't a lot to do, basically the only fun single player mode is the Orders mode, but that gets old fairly quickly. They ruined classic mode, the event matches are lacking, and Smash Tour is merely okay with friends, not particularly good (and awful alone).
Mechanically it's still dumbed down from Melee, so I'd much rather play that (or Project M). Stage selection also leaves a lot to be desired, they are bigger and more chaotic than ever.
That's legitimately crazy, but yeah, I have one group of friends that won't touch Melee and one group of friends that won't touch Smash 4.
I'll happily play both, but I prefer Melee by a large margin.
My patience for Smash 4 lasts about 4 hours a week, haha. I can't get over brain dead combos in Smash 4 in addition to being able to forward Smash out of shield. Some of the stuff you can get away with in that game is just too ridiculous haha. I wish DI was more significant.
Definitely a great game despite all of it's flaws.

I really enjoyed it but it does suffer from too much of the same and some new characters were boring (fire emblem-fest)

There's definitely way too many counter characters.

How much fun did you all extract from 8-player mode?

Obviously if we're talking about competitive Smash then that's a whole different argument.

That mode for me came in clutch more than a few times. Most of the time it worked really well when we had 5 people who wanted to play. Was nice not having to have someone sit out. That's something I pray is still in Smash Switch
i played it once and never again. the spotty online made it difficult to enjoy.

If you only played on the game pad, I can see why you'd think that.
None.
8 player Smash is awful and they need to get rid of it in the single player modes.

Pretty much. I fail to see how it "sucks" tbh

I can understand those who wanted an adventure mode (actually, I agree!), but I'll never understand the "there's not enough single-player content" sentiment (or just "lack of content" in general)
Super fun! I play it quite regularly.

Single player aspect could have been better l, but multiplayer modes are by far the best.. Not to mention the most balanced characters.
Sounds like you need a new group of friends then

I'm not a big Smash guy but no, it definitely doesn't suck.

As a percentage of the cast or just raw numbers? The few Melee players with any actual likelihood of winning a major tournament actively use 6 characters between them, which is nearly a quarter of the cast. If placing well qualifies as "viable" then around half the cast has made top 8 at a major in the last year or so, which is pretty darn good for a 15 year old game being played in a manner it wasn't intentionally balanced around.
And if you watch top 32/64/round 2 pools there is plenty of variety from good players.

It's got Cloud and a billion Fire Emblem characters.
It's the best.

A ton. Rarely had a full 8 but it's nice to be able to play with 5 or 6.

Only complaint is I wish a lot of the stages in the 3DS version could've been included on the Wii U version. Would've liked Yoshi's Island and Brinstar to name a couple.
