But even for me, there's too much content in this thread to run through by myself; if a bunch of people could sign up to read through given sets of ~2500-post chunks (so 50 pages for my 50-posts-per-page comrades, but 25 pages for you 100-posts-per-page weirdos) and pull out some of the greatest quotes (usea replying to Jonk, for example) or most memorable moments (SuperAngelo64's infamous bet), I think that would be awesome for a final summary.

Ive worked a lot with statistics in this thread. Youve all seen it; maybe some of you have wished you never had to see it, as you scrolled past each post each night. But theres one final number Id like to share with you, more important than any other[...]
Often gamers are inclined to criticize a game for missing this feature or that feature, but consider the reactions weve seen time and again to the Dojos updates: how many people have said What else can they possibly add to Super Smash Bros. Brawl? and meant it in sincerity?
How many of those people said it more than once?
[...]You could read about Standard Combos in less than thirty seconds, or with a little more time you could read about the Stage Builder. But whether major or minor, every facet of the game--every last facet--came about because of the passion and hard work of multiple programmers, or graphics artists, or composers, or even the archivists who located the art to be put into the game as stickers. And for that reason every last facet of the game well deserved its own spotlight.
Although it might seem otherwise at times, Super Smash Bros. Brawl wasnt created with the intention that wed all merely sit about with dropped jaws, gaping in endless awe at a level of content which Sakurai himself considers to be overboard; it was created, rather, to be played.
Its easy to say that Smash Bros. is a love letter to gaming, and call that a joke. Its easier still to say that Smash Bros. is a love letter to gaming, and call that the truth, for here is a single disc in which the full history of the industry is uplifted.
To be clear: when I say history, Im not referring to the characters nor even the franchises. The characters have never been the driving force of the industry. Rather, it was our experiences with those characters, or in other words the gameplay, that brought each of us back and made us believers. And in Smash Bros., gameplay is celebrated.
Do I need to elaborate on how and why this is true? No. But I choose to explain further, because I must--because Sakurai and because the whole of the Smash Bros. development team chose to push themselves further every day they worked on this game.[...]

*Sigh* Good times.
