WOW was I obsessed with this game. The huge initial reveal with Snake being added as a fighter got me extremely hyped in the middle of some computer class I had during my junior year in highschool. The Smash Bros website that updated every day or whatever detailing one new thing in the game was very exciting at the time.

The game has a lot of really nice touches in it. I like Subspace Emissary a lot, even if the levels are kind of annoying. I am not into pro Smash or anything, but even I think the addition of tripping as a mechanic was very dumb. A developer responding to a certain segment of their audience playing their previous game in a way they didn't approve of by adding in a mechanic to make their experience worse kind of sucks.
