Super Smash Bros

The game that started it all 

Game no: 534
Genre: Fighting
Platform: Nintendo 64
Release Date: 1999

I've never played the original Smash Bros before but I've played all subsequent versions after that. Which each version that release they made it better with refine characters, stages and mode. So I thought why not check out the game that started it all. The first Smash Bros in my mind was a proof of concept on the idea. Get all the Nintendo mascots and beat the living hell of each other sounds fun. Well it is. But this game is really barebones. They only have one single player mode and a multiplayer mode with some training stuff sprinkle in between. So I am here to say what the game is lacking and how did they fix it. 

First of all the combat. The combat is fun but the controls are a bit stiff. All characters have 4 way directional attack and supers but its all just one combo.There is no charge attack (the fixed that in Melee). Chracters eventhough are fast they seem a bit clunky. Which makes combat not that particularly exiciting. Other than that everything about this game is fine. I can't complain too much because this is the first in the series. What makes it awesome is that they not just improve it. They went above and beyond for the next game on the gamecube. Which makes this an awesome series going forward. But for the first try I will give it a A-Rank since I did finish the single player mode and it was serviceable
